No. 3 Ohio St. runs past No. 15 Wildcats for Big Ten crown

INDIANAPOLIS -- , Ohio State running back Trey Sermon got the message Saturday. He'd heard coach Ryan Day preach about everything the Buckeyes overcame to reach this season's Big Ten championship game. He also heard Day urging players to overcome more obstacles in the second half. So Sermon delivered , with a record-breaking performance. He ran for 331 yards and scored two second-half touchdowns, helping No. 3 Ohio State rally past No. 15 Northwestern 22-10 for its fourth straight conference crown and a likely spot in the College Football Playoff. “I’m aware of my ability and I know I’m more than capable of playing my game, which is making guys miss and playing at the second level," the Big Ten championship game MVP said.
