Iowa State didn’t make things dramatic in Morgantown in Week 7. The Cyclones led 14-10 at halftime and scored the first 14 points of the fourth quarter to take a three-possession lead with 4:42 to go in the 28-16 victory. Carson Hansen rushed for three touchdowns and Rocco Becht continues to be a quietly efficient passer.

Ohio State’s loss Saturday to Oregon does not put its playoff hopes out of reach, but the possibility of missing out becomes real if it loses again. The Buckeyes must now win out to make the Big Ten championship game.
