Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud was 11-of-11 in passes over 10-yards as he threw for 297 yards and 5 touchdowns in a 9-20 blowout win over Michigan State on Saturday.  It was the most a Power 5 quarterback has thrown without an incompletion in the last 10 seasons

The hits just kept coming for the Spartans, as Buckeye WR Marvin Harrison grabbed his third TD of the game and second hat trick of the season. Harrison joined Joey Galloway in the history books during a September contest as only the second OSU player in history with more than one 3-touchdown game.

The release of ESPN’s College Football Power Index on Saturday did nothing to soothe battle-weary Spartans, as the current FPI is giving the Spartans a 23.9% chance of reaching 6 wins (traditional mark for bowl eligibility). The FPI is also projecting a 0% probability of the Spartans winning the division of conference.

Michigan State will try to improve their odds for a post season as they take on Wisconsin on Saturday.
