1+ hour, 20+ min ago (237+ words) A former NFL referee has admitted that a mistake was made in the Ohio State at Michigan game on Saturday. Ohio State topped Michigan, 27-9, at The Big House in Ann Arbor. The Buckeyes ended Michigan's four game winning streak in the rivalry. Ohio State finished the regular season at 12-0, heading into the Big Ten Championship Game. The Buckeyes will be taking on Indiana next weekend. But during Saturday's game at The Big House, the referees appeared to make a big mistake, failing to act on an ejection-worthy play. Michigan linebacker Jaishawn Barham made contact with a referee in the first half. He hit his helmet into the referee's face, while complaining about a no-call. However, he was not ejected. Instead, he drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The Maryland transfer was allowed to remain in the game. But should that…...

Justin Casterline / Getty Images No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana remained atop the AP Top 25 college football poll on Sunday, setting up the first 1-2 game in the history of the Big Ten championship and the conference's first 1-2 matchup since the Buckeyes beat Michigan in 2006.

6+ hour, 27+ min ago (1219+ words) The old warehouse strip reborn as the Lee + White development is a popular destination for anyone seeking a bite or a beverage on the Atlanta Beltline's Westside Trail. But steps from the breweries and eateries inhabiting much of the space, serious science is taking place. In an industrial space at the complex's north end, engineers in blue lab coats huddle over circuit boards. Scientists test how certain films and other materials respond to pressure, heat and more. And in a machine shop off the main lab, a computer-controlled machine mills custom components from raw metal. The space is a hive of activity, one that exudes the spirit of experimentation embodied by its founder, the legendary inventor Lonnie Johnson. Johnson isn't a household name like Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell. You'll be hard-pressed, however, to find a child of the…...

11+ hour, 43+ min ago (436+ words) Alabama's 4th-down gamble pays off with late TD (0:33) AUBURN, Ala. -- Ty Simpson and Isaiah Horton connected on three touchdowns, the last on a fourth-down play in the waning minutes, and No. 10 Alabama escaped Auburn with a 27-20 victory in the Iron Bowl on Saturday night. Alabama advanced to face fourth-ranked Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game next week in Atlanta and improved its chances of making the College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide (10-2, 7-1) beat Georgia 24-21 on the road in the regular season. Alabama was on the ropes again at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After the Tide led 17-0 early in the second quarter, the score was tied down the stretch. But Simpson found Horton on a fourth-and-2 play from the Auburn 6 with 3:50 remaining. "He didn't panic at all," Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said about Simpson. "The experiences we've had all season long put…...

15+ hour, 27+ min ago (557+ words) Ohio State Buckeyes at Michigan Wolverines, November 29, 2025 COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Sonny Styles had seen the darkest side of the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry. He joined the Buckeyes in the 2022 season, just after their first loss to the Wolverines. And then he had to be part of a defense that suffered three-straight humiliating defeats. This year, as a team captain, the Block 0 recipient and middle of that defense, he shined. While he had just six tackles, Styles still led the team in that category. He also had one tackle for loss. It was maybe his best game of the season though, and one of the best of his Buckeye career. He flashed his freakish athleticism at linebacker and was the fixture of an Ohio State defense that didn't allow Michigan to get into the end zone. On a defense that includes another linebacker,…...

16+ hour, 15+ min ago (607+ words) Michigan football hosts Ohio State 2025 ANN ARBOR " Ohio State was eager to prove itself against mighty Michigan. The Buckeyes, ranked No. 1 in the country, hadn't played a ranked team since a 34-16 win over then-No. 17 Illinois on Oct. 11 and hadn't faced a team in playoff contention since opening the season vs. then-No. 1 Texas. Their last five games came against teams that did and still do have losing records. No. 15 Michigan was not only still in the hunt for a playoff bid and Big Ten title entering Saturday but had defeated the Buckeyes four straight times. Ohio State aced Saturday's test with a 27-9 victory at Michigan Stadium. "They came out here, at least for (our) defensive side of the ball, and tried to out-physical us," Ohio State senior linebacker Sonny Styles said. "And we "out-physicaled' them. So it feels good to know…...
