Mike Weber, Ohio State Rout Michigan State 48-3
No. 13 Ohio State bounced back from a blowout loss to Iowa last week with a convincing 48-3 victory over No. 12 Michigan State on Saturday at Ohio Stadium in Columbus.
Buckeyes running back Mike Weber led the offensive explosion with nine carries for 162 yards, including first-half touchdown runs from 82 and 47 yards. In all, OSU outgained its Big Ten rival 524-195 to take sole possession of first place in the East Division.
Spartans quarterback Brian Lewerke struggled to find a rhythm against an aggressive Ohio State defense, completing 18 of his 36 throws for 131 yards and two interceptions. MSU didn't find any success on the ground either, averaging 1.9 yards on 34 carries.
