A controversy is unfolding in Israel over the leak of classified military documents to international media that prosecutors say may have harmed efforts to free hostages held by Hamas. An aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been charged. He is accused of passing on top-secret information with the intent to sway public opinion and damage state security. An Israeli soldier was separately charged for handing over the documents, which were allegedly retrieved from Gaza. Mr Netanyahu has not been charged, but questions have been raised by opposition politicians, Israeli media and hostage families over his involvement. There has been speculation the leaks were aimed at giving the prime minister political cover over failed ceasefire talks in September. The information emerged days after six hostages were found executed in a Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza, which sparked mass protests in Israel and outraged hostage families. Mr Netanyahu's office has denied any wrongdoing, downplaying the affair and publicly calling for the gag order to be lifted. The prime minister said the person in question "never participated in security discussions, was not exposed to or received classified information, and did not take part in secret visits". A full picture of the case is yet to emerge, but the indictment and other legal documents tell part of the story. This is what we know. How it all started At the centre of the case is an article published in Germany's tabloid newspaper the Bild on September 6. It was labelled as an exclusive and claimed to outline the hostage plans of Hamas. The report cited documents said to have been taken from the computer of the organisation's then-leader, Yahya Sinwar. The documents detailed how the militant group was purportedly drawing out ceasefire and hostage talks as a form of psychological warfare to increase public pressure on the Israeli government. The article came out as the United States, Qatar and Egypt were mediating ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, which also included a deal to release hostages. Hamas rejected the demand and accused Mr Netanyahu of deliberately sabotaging the talks. Israel blamed Hamas for the deadlock. Mr Netanyahu pointed to the article after it was published, saying it vindicated his hardline position on a hostage deal. "Last weekend, the German newspaper Bild published an official Hamas document that revealed its action plan: To sow discord among us, to use psychological warfare on the hostages' families ... to tear us apart from within, and to continue the war until further notice," he said in remarks ahead of a cabinet meeting. Another article had appeared earlier in the London-based Jewish Chronicle newspaper claiming that Sinwar planned to smuggle himself and Israeli hostages out of Gaza through the border area with Egypt known as the Philadelphi Corridor. In the ceasefire talks, Mr Netanyahu was also calling for lasting Israeli control over the Philadelphi Corridor. The Jewish Chronicle later withdrew the article. Next, the arrests An investigation was launched into the articles, jointly conducted by the Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency, the Israeli police and the military. Little had been known about the case until the Rishon Le-Zion Magistrates' Court partially lifted a gag order late last month. It revealed that several arrests had been made, and identified the central suspect in the case as Eli Feldstein. Mr Feldstein was one of Mr Netanyahu's media advisers, according to Israeli media reports. The magistrate's ruling said classified and sensitive intelligence information was illegally taken from Israel Defense Forces (IDF) systems, which may have caused "serious damage to the state's security and posed a risk to information sources". "As a result, there could have been damage to the security forces' ability to achieve the goal of releasing the hostages, as part of the war objectives," it said. The court referred to Mr Feldstein as a "civilian" and said three other suspects in the case were members of the military and security establishment. They have not been publicly named. The media reported that Mr Feldstein was hired weeks after October 7, 2023, and previously worked as an adviser to far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Mr Netanyahu has said the person in question "never participated in security discussions, was not exposed to or received classified information, and did not take part in secret visits". Indictment reveals more details An Israeli state attorney has now indicted Mr Feldstein. He has been charged with leaking classified information with the intent of harming state security and obstruction of justice. An Israeli soldier was also charged, accused of passing on the documents. Both men deny the charges, which carry lengthy prison terms. The indictment identified two other Netanyahu aides as being connected to the incident, but they were not charged. Rather than leaking the information to Israeli media, Mr Feldstein is accused of handing it to Bild to bypass local censors, who would have banned its publication. The indictment said the two suspects had created a mechanism for passing on information that bypassed accepted protocols for sharing such documents. "The two charged suspects acted in order to extract information that was classified to the most confidential level, while taking the concrete risk of causing serious harm to critical national security interests," it said. It added that the the leaks were meant "to create media influence on the public discourse in Israel in regards to the handling of the hostage situation, after the news of the murder of six hostages". Asked about the investigation earlier this month, Bild said that it did not comment on its sources. "The authenticity of the document known to us was confirmed by the IDF immediately after publication," it said. The country reacts Mr Netanyahu has faced criticism from families of the hostages in Gaza, who blame him for the failure to reach a deal. They were among the tens of thousands of protesters taking to the streets, accusing the prime minister of torpedoing the ceasefire talks for political reasons. Hamas has said there would be no hostages-for-prisoners swap deal with Israel unless the war in the Palestinian enclave ended. The militant group, which Australia lists as a terrorist organisation, stormed southern Israel on October 7 last year, taking about 250 hostages to Gaza, according to Israeli authorities. About 1,200 people were killed in the terror attacks. Israel's subsequent strikes on Gaza have claimed the lives of more than 43,000 Palestinians , according to the Gaza Health Ministry. About 97 people taken captive by Hamas on October 7, 2023, remain in Gaza. At least a third of them have been declared dead by Israeli authorities. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a group that represents many of the families of the hostages still held in Gaza, has called the leaks "one of the greatest frauds in the country's history". "The [hostage] families demand an investigation against all those suspected of sabotage and undermining state security," the forum said in a statement. The Bild article came out six days after Hamas killed a group of hostages as Israeli troops closed in on them. Opposition Leader Yair Lapid said Mr Netanyahu was either incompetent or "complicit in one of the most serious security offences" on the books. In a video posted to social media, the prime minister called the investigation a "witch-hunt" targeting him and his advisers. ABC/Wires ABCDENVER — Amid renewed interest in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey triggered in part by a new Netflix documentary, police in Boulder, Colorado, refuted assertions this week that there is viable evidence and leads about the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old girl that they are not pursuing. JonBenet Ramsey, who competed in beauty pageants, was found dead in the basement of her family's home in the college town of Boulder the day after Christmas in 1996. Her body was found several hours after her mother called 911 to say her daughter was missing and a ransom note was left behind. The gravesite of JonBenet Ramsey is covered with flowers Jan. 8, 1997, at St. James Episcopal Cemetery in Marietta, Ga. JonBenet was bludgeoned and strangled. Her death was ruled a homicide, but nobody was ever prosecuted. The details of the crime and video footage of JonBenet competing in pageants propelled the case into one of the highest-profile mysteries in the United States. The police comments came as part of their annual update on the investigation, a month before the 28th anniversary of JonBenet's killing. Police said they released it a little earlier due to the increased attention on the case, apparently referring to the three-part Netflix series "Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey." In a video statement, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said the department welcomes news coverage and documentaries about the killing of JonBenet, who would have been 34 this year, as a way to generate possible new leads. He said the department is committed to solving the case but needs to be careful about what it shares about the investigation to protect a possible future prosecution. "What I can tell you though, is we have thoroughly investigated multiple people as suspects throughout the years and we continue to be open-minded about what occurred as we investigate the tips that come in to detectives," he said. The Netflix documentary focuses on the mistakes made by police and the "media circus" surrounding the case. A police officer sits in her cruiser Jan. 3, 1997, outside the home in which 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was found murdered Dec. 26, 1996, in Boulder, Colo. Police were widely criticized for mishandling the early investigation into her death amid speculation that her family was responsible. However, a prosecutor cleared her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and brother Burke in 2008 based on new DNA evidence from JonBenet's clothing that pointed to the involvement of an "unexplained third party" in her slaying. The announcement by former district attorney Mary Lacy came two years after Patsy Ramsey died of cancer. Lacy called the Ramseys "victims of this crime." John Ramsey continued to speak out for the case to be solved. In 2022, he supported an online petition asking Colorado's governor to intervene in the investigation by putting an outside agency in charge of DNA testing in the case. In the Netflix documentary, he said he advocated for several items that were not prepared for DNA testing to be tested and for other items to be retested. He said the results should be put through a genealogy database. In recent years, investigators identified suspects in unsolved cases by comparing DNA profiles from crime scenes and to DNA testing results shared online by people researching their family trees. In 2021, police said in their annual update that DNA hadn't been ruled out to help solve the case, and in 2022 noted that some evidence could be "consumed" if DNA testing is done on it. Last year, police said they convened a panel of outside experts to review the investigation to give recommendations and determine if updated technologies or forensic testing might produce new leads. In the latest update, Redfearn said that review ended but police continue to work through and evaluate a "lengthy list of recommendations" from the panel.

Police deny sitting on evidence as Netflix doc brings renewed attention to JonBenet Ramsey's killing
Four members of the " Magnificent Seven " have outperformed the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) year to date. Tesla ( TSLA 5.34% ) and Amazon ( AMZN 2.94% ) are included in that number, with shares advancing 57% and 49%, respectively. But the billionaire hedge fund managers below bought one and sold the other in the third quarter. Louis Bacon of Moore Capital Management bought 25,000 shares of Tesla, increasing his position by 19%. Meanwhile, he sold 616,475 shares of Amazon, reducing his stake by 76%. Tesla rose to his 13th-largest holding, while Amazon fell to his 16th-largest. Ken Griffin of Citadel Advisors bought 1.1 million shares of Tesla, increasing his position by nearly 400%. Meanwhile, he sold 7.2 million shares of Amazon, reducing his stake by 94%. Amazon had been his largest holding, excluding options and index funds. Dan Loeb of Third Point bought 400,000 shares of Tesla, starting a new position. He also sold 1.4 million shares of Amazon, reducing his stake by 27%. Amazon had been his largest holding, but it now ranks second. Investors can learn a lot by tracking trades made by accomplished fund managers, but it's important to keep things in perspective. The trades above were made in the third quarter, which ended two months ago. Here's what investors need to know about Tesla and Amazon as we head into 2025. Tesla: The stock some billionaires were buying Tesla is the leading manufacturer of battery electric vehicles , though its market share fell about 3 points in the past year amid increased competition and a challenging economic environment. During that period, the company reported disappointing financial results in several consecutive quarters as price cuts meant to boost demand cut into margins. Tesla began to regain some momentum in the third quarter. Deliveries increased 6% after falling 5% in the prior quarter. In turn, revenue increased 8% to $25 billion, operating margin expanded 3 percentage points, and non-GAAP earnings increased 9% to $0.72 per diluted share. The company also said it will introduce more affordable vehicle models next year, and CEO Elon Musk believes deliveries could jump 20% to 30% in 2025. However, Tesla's largest opportunity lies in artificial intelligence (AI) software and services. The company plans to release an unsupervised version of its full self-driving (FSD) software in California and Texas next year. It will also launch an autonomous ride-hailing service in those markets. Additionally, Tesla is in talks to license its FSD software to other automakers. Elon Musk says gross margin could top 70% as autonomous driving technology becomes a larger source of revenue. But he believes the humanoid robot Optimus will be the company's most valuable product. On the third-quarter earnings call , he told analysts, "I feel confident in saying that we have the most advanced humanoid robot by a long shot." Looking ahead, Wall Street estimates Tesla's adjusted earnings will increase by 28% over the next year, which makes the current valuation of 160 times adjusted earnings look absurd. But that consensus estimate fails to account for revenue increases and margin expansion that autonomous driving technology may bring in a few years, and the market is absolutely pricing in those possibilities, at least to some degree. That puts investors in a tricky position: If Tesla fails to achieve its goals surrounding FSD and autonomous ride-sharing, the stock will likely crash. But if Tesla does accomplish those goals, it could revolutionize the mobility and transportation industries. That same logic applies to its ambitions in robotics. Personally, I think young investors (i.e., those with a long time horizon) who are comfortable with volatility should have some exposure to Tesla. While the stock is undeniably expensive, anyone who meets those criteria should consider buying a tiny position today. But I also think better opportunities will present themselves in the future, so shareholders should be prepared to buy the stock on dips. Amazon: The stock some billionaires were selling Amazon has a strong position in e-commerce , digital advertising, and cloud computing . Specifically, it operates the largest online marketplace in North America and Western Europe as measured by sales. It is the third-largest adtech company worldwide. And Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the largest public cloud. The company is leaning into artificial intelligence across all three segments to increase revenue and improve efficiency, especially in its cloud computing business. In the last 18 months, AWS released nearly twice as many machine learning and generative AI features as the other leading public clouds combined, according to CEO Andy Jassy. He also said AI revenue was growing at a triple-digit pace. Amazon reported solid financial results in the third quarter, beating estimates on the top and bottom lines. Revenue increased 11% to $159 billion due to particularly strong sales growth in advertising and cloud services. Meanwhile, its operating margin expanded more than 3 percentage points, and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) earnings jumped 52% to $1.43 per diluted share. Importantly, according to eMarketer, Amazon is expected to gain share in e-commerce and digital advertising in the next two years. Additionally, AWS is ideally positioned to benefit as demand for AI infrastructure and platform services increases, given it has nearly as much market share as Microsoft Azure and Alphabet 's Google Cloud combined. With that in mind, Wall Street expects Amazon's earnings to increase 26% over the next year. That seems like a reasonable estimate, considering the tailwinds behind the business, and it makes the current valuation of 49 times earnings look tolerable. Those numbers give a price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of 1.9, which is neither cheap nor outrageously expensive. Despite several billionaires selling Amazon shares, patient investors should feel confident buying a small position today. I think most Wall Street analysts would agree with that statement. Among the 70 analysts who follow Amazon, 94% have a buy rating on the stock.In a messy back-and-forth Palmetto Bowl, South Carolina found a way to creep past the No. 12 Tigers. A late-game pick by Demetrius Knight Jr. sealed the win for South Carolina. South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers (16) runs with the ball while pursued by Clemson linebacker Wade Woodaz (17) in the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024, in Clemson, S.C. The Gamecocks got the ball rolling early in the first quarter setting the tone for an intense game. Redshirt freshman quarterback LaNorris Sellers 38 yards on the second play of the game. However, four plays later, Sellers was sacked for a loss of five yards and fumbled the ball. Clemson sophomore defensive end TJ Parker recovered for South Carolina’s first turnover of the game. Clemson’s defense recorded three sacks in the first half compared to none by the Gamecocks. Despite this, sixth-year linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. was an active part of South Carolina’s defense with nine total tackles. Bam Martin-Scott also put up a valiant effort on defense with seven total tackles including two tackles for loss. Senior running back Phil Mafah proved to be an offensive threat on his feet for the Tigers throughout. In the first half, Mafah led the Tigers rushing for 55 yards. Offensive blocking was an Achilles heel for the Gamecocks. The Clemson defense succeeded in applying pressure to Sellers forcing him to use his feet. Rahiem “Rocket” Sanders struggled to shine as a result of blocking issues. Sanders ran for just 22 yards on 9 attempts in the first half. Meanwhile, Oscar Adaway III was able to make a couple of plays of his own. The sixth-year running back recorded 41 yards in total. Likewise, junior wide receiver Jared Brown stepped up where others fell recording 41 total yards. Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik showed off his arm strength with multiple big throws. The Tigers got on the board first in the 2nd quarter on a 13-yard touchdown by Klubnik. Sellers responded with a quarterback keeper of his own 25 yards to the end zone to tie the game at seven. At the half, the score remained tied at seven a piece. [Get our free newsletter! Don’t rely on search engines and social media for your Gamecock info.] The second half got off to a rocky start for the Gamecocks. Jalon Kilgore went down early and needed to be assisted to the injury tent. In addition, Klubnik continued to be a problem for South Carolina’s defense in the second half. Klubnik found the end zone early in the 3rd to put Clemson back in the lead. In a make-or-break fourth quarter, the Gamecocks found a way. Sellers played a major part in South Carolina’s win as he was responsible for both of the Gamecocks touchdowns. But South Carolina had to battle back from a turnover on the next possession. Sanders fumbled on an 11-yard gain, and cornerback Avieon Terrell recovered for the Tigers at their 34-yard line. However, the Gamecock defense responded by recovering a Clemson fumble at their own 38. But momentum and making plays continued to be an issue for South Carolina on both sides of the ball. Following multiple penalties at the end of the third quarter South Carolina needed a positivity boost. Martin-Scott came up big with a sack for a loss of 9 yards. Clemson sophomore safety Khalil Barnes intercepted a Sellers pass just shy of the end zone. But late in the fourth, Alex Herrera came through with a 42-yard field goal to bring the Gamecocks down by only four. A failed onside kick attempt seemed to be the end for the Gamecocks, but Sellers had other plans. Sellers found the end zone with under two minutes left to play to give the Gamecocks the lead. As the final seconds winded down, Klubnik went for it on 2nd & 10 on the South Carolina 15-yard line but the ball was picked off by Knight Jr. The Gamecocks defeated the Tigers 17-14. The Gamecocks wait to hear their fate after clinching a bowl game. The final College Football Playoff rankings are revealed on Selection Sunday on Dec. 8 from 12-4 p.m. on ESPN.

Police deny sitting on evidence as Netflix doc brings renewed attention to JonBenet Ramsey's killing
Lizzo showed off her figure in a form-fitting orange dress to celebrate Thanksgiving. “Yall wasn’t the only ones eating yesterday 😮💨,” Lizzo, 36, captioned a series of selfies shared via Instagram on Friday, November 29, which showed the “Truth Hurts” singer glowing in an orange off-the-shoulder maxi dress from Hanifa decorated with large flowers. Earlier this week, the “It’s About Damn Time” musician shared a video via TikTok of her workout routine in preparation for Thanksgiving. “Getting ready cus im definitely eating 3 plates tomorrow 🤪,” she captioned the video, which saw Lizzo break a sweat in an all-black workout outfit as she did lunges, squats and lifted weights. Lizzo’s posts come after months of accusations that she used Ozempic — a semaglutide primarily prescribed for adults who struggle with obesity and not approved for casual weight loss — to lose weight, which she has denied. Last month, the singer clapped back against the rumors by dressing up as Ozempic for Halloween. Despite the rumors, Lizzo has been proud of her weight loss journey. “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit,” she wrote via social media in September. In the footage, Lizzo wore a silk robe and brandished a closed-mouth smile, captioning her post, “oZeMpIc oR cOkE?” which was attributed to a “fan” who, according to a screenshot included in her upload, had asked whether the singer had “[used] ozempic” or “[snorted] coke” on a previous image of Lizzo slipping wearing a Yitty bodysuit. (Yitty is the singer’s shapewear brand.) “I’ve been methodical, losing weight very slowly,” Lizzo said in a profile published by The New York Times in April, where she shared that she tries to walk or do Pilates every day . “I don’t really see it because if anyone who’s on a natural weight-loss journey knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world and you don’t really notice it until you notice it,” she continued. “Also the scale’s not really moving. But anyway, that doesn’t matter. I’m super proud of my current lifestyle.” You have successfully subscribed.

There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don’t feel completely positive.” She added, “My body is nobody’s business.”
Hitachi Rail Delivers First Phase of Thessaloniki’s Driverless Metro SystemIn the race of meme coins, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) are the two foremost currencies creating paradigm shifts along the way. Dogecoin continues to rule the roost in terms of trading volume and an ardent community, while Shiba Inu is coming up quickly with new developments in the ecosystem and a growing burn rate. Of course, these two are the heavyweights in the meme coin narrative; however, there is one emerging player that might overshadow both of them—Rexas Finance (RXS). Let us analyze how both DOGE and SHIB are performing and, more importantly, how RXS has captured the attention of investors. Dogecoin (DOGE): The Original Meme Coin DOGE is currently priced at $0.3847, and it continues to remain robust, with a market cap of $56.51 billion. In the last 24 hours, more than $10 billion worth of trading volume has been recorded, which is more than the trading volume of other meme coins combined, creating waves of interest amongst whales and even retail investors. The bullish thrust of DOGE appears to be supported by technicals. Cryptography experts are predicting strong movement as the price has moved above its 50-day and 200-day EMAs. The ADX has augmented to the 30 level, and this, too, adds to the bullish argument supporting the current surge. The price action of the underlying asset indicates that DOGE has also penetrated the important 50% Fibonacci retracement area, with its MVRV ratio suggesting more growth points. Analysts believe if DOGE breaches $0.7350, it could very well head towards the never-achieved $1 mark, as this is a 156% increase from the current price. Shiba Inu (SHIB): Poised to Steal the Spotlight Presently valued at $0.00002406 and ranking within the $14.18 billion range, SHIB has been in the crypto investor view following a 200% spike in its burn rate. This drastic supply cut is now gaining weight for future value increases, further boosted by whale activity and ecosystem developments such as Shibarium and Shibburn. SHIB bears are steadily losing ground as Shiba Inu consolidates around the 50-day MA. Analysts and technical indicators throw a bullish edge on SHIB, stating the token will break out and target even deeper resistance levels. If SHIB manages to pass the first key barrier set at $0.000025, a potential target shift is set towards $0.000037. At this point, SHIB would have the likely potential to perform a parabolic move, leaving behind DOGE, as its movement velocity would be much larger. Rexas Finance (RXS): Ready to Lead in the Meme Coin Revolution While the media’s attention is focused on the hype surrounding Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, Rexas Finance (RXS), on the other hand, is strategically positioning itself in the crypto space as a game-changing project. Having begun its presale activity at $0.08, RXS has secured $11.26 million in presale funds and sold 188.28 million out of its total 200 million securities and tokens. RXS has utility value and a developed ecosystem. Rexas Finance is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain focusing on real-world asset tokenization. Users can invest in real estate or artworks and share ownership of these assets via platforms like Rexas Estate. This shift of asset ownership into the public domain may be a substantial force for wider participation in elite markets. RXS makes use of decentralized finance (DeFi) components and synthetic A.I. forms to provide users with better investment opportunities and control. The intervention of DeFi allows operations in a secure and clean environment, while A.I.-enabled apps bring quality analytics that assist in making investment decisions. Such features make RXS a futuristic token with numerous real-world use cases. Rexas Finance has completed a CertiK audit, which certifies the security and transparency of the platform. Along with its listing on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, its credibility and presence in the market have also been raised. To foster community engagement, RXS has launched a $1 million giveaway, rewarding 20 winners with $50,000 worth of tokens each. This initiative highlights RXS’s commitment to building a loyal and active user base. Conclusion: How RXS Will Take Over the Meme Coin Industry Rexas Finance is a cryptocurrency, but more importantly, it is an ecosystem that seeks to provide real-life solutions using blockchain technology. Whereas Dogecoin and Shiba Inu offer good prospects in the meme coin market, RXS represents a more advanced opportunity for investors. Through its distinctive mechanism in asset tokenization, coupled with its strong presales and community involvement, RXS becomes an ideal investment target for investors looking for good returns. Rexas Finance is ideal for all those who want to ride the next wave of crypto expansions; the difference is that it gives a real-use case token, a unique ecosystem, and plenty of growth opportunities. As the meme coin space changes and redesigns itself, so does RXS. In fact, it appears this will be the frontrunner, bringing in a valuable market for its investors.

Arkansas DE Landon Jackson carted off field and taken to hospital with neck injury
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Dominic Zvada kicked a 21-yard field goal with 45 seconds left and Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday, likely ending the Buckeyes ’ hopes of returning to the Big Ten title game. Kalel Mullings broke away for a 27-yard run, setting up the Wolverines (7-5, 5-4) at Ohio State's 17-yard line with two minutes remaining in the game. The drive stalled at the 3, and Zvada came on for the chip shot. Ohio State (10-2, 7-2, No. 2 CFP) got the ball back but couldn't move it, with Will Howard throwing incomplete on fourth down to seal the Wolverines' fourth straight win over their bitter rival. “You come to Michigan to play this game,” Zvada said. “So, it's the biggest one of the year. It's the one that everyone looks forward to, and to be able to come in here and take the win, it's amazing.” This Ohio State loss in the “The Game” might have been the toughest of the past four because Michigan was unranked and wrapping up a disappointing season. The Wolverines were also playing without a couple of top players: tight end Colston Loveland and cornerback Will Johnson. The Buckeyes were favored by 21 points, the widest point spread for this rivalry since 1978, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Records — and point spreads, for that matter — rarely mean much when these two teams meet. “Our defense played outstanding," Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said. "We held a high-powered offense to 10 points, 77 rushing yards.” The Buckeyes were off all afternoon. Howard was 19 for 33 for 175 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and Jayden Fielding missed two field-goal attempts. The run game was hardly there. “It's hard, man,” an emotional Howard said. “I really don’t have much right now. I do know we're a two-loss team. We're going to get into the playoffs and make a run. But, I mean, this one hurts.” Mullings was Michigan's primary weapon. He rushed for 116 yards and the Wolverines only touchdown of the game in the first half as neither team could get much going offensively on the frigid afternoon. “They made plays, we made plays, so as the game wore on you could definitely, slowly feel them starting to lose confidence, lose that energy and lose that faith,” Mullings said. Howard was clunky all day. In the first half he threw an interception from deep in his own territory that led to Michigan's touchdown. He went out for a play in the second quarter to be checked for a head injury. After the game, he said he was fine. “We're very disappointed, and never thought this would happen right here,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. “We expected to win this game and go play in the Big Ten championship game.” After the game, Michigan players attempted to plant their flag at midfield and were confronted by Ohio State players. A skirmish ensued as both teams pushed and shoved before being separated. Michigan: Did just enough and caught Ohio State on an off day. Ohio State: It's inexplicable how badly the Buckeyes played in their biggest game of the season. They would need No. 4 Penn State and No. 10 Indiana to lose later Saturday in order to make it into the Big Ten title game next week. There has been talk all season about how many of the Ohio State team leaders, including receiver Emeka Egbuka, running back TreVeyon Henderson and defensive end Jack Sawyer, chose to return for another year instead of entering the NFL draft because they wanted to beat Michigan at least once. Those players were inconsolable after the game. One of them, linebacker Cody Simon, was asked how he felt. “I just can't speak that right now,” Simon said. “I feel like we let the whole Buckeye nation down.” Michigan will wait for a minor bowl game. Ohio State, assuming either Penn State or Indiana wins on Saturday, will see how the final College Football Playoff rankings shakeout on Dec. 8.
