NCAA Football: Best and Worst of Week 9
The Ohio State defense and a rushing attack by Boom Herron and Braxton Miller put the Buckeyes in position to win on Saturday, but it was Miller's arm that finished off the Badgers (LaPrete/ AP) In a week that saw two more unbeatens fall, fans got a little bit of everything.
