The Bison return all five starters, plus transfer Desmond Crosby, from a team that lost to eventual state champion Villa Angela-St. Joseph in a Division III district final.

BEACHWOOD, Ohio – With more than 20 Division I college offers, Beachwood guard Maishe Dailey is a popular player on the basketball court.

What’s dangerous for opposing teams is Dailey is not alone.

The Bison return all five starters from a team that lost to eventual state champion Villa Angela-St. Joseph in a Division III district final. Add in point guard Desmond Crosby, who steered Cleveland Central Catholic’s run to the Division II state title game.

Crosby, a Beachwood native who played with his current teammates earlier during his youth, adds to what was already set to be a crowded backcourt.

Watch the video above and read the capsule below for more on Beachwood.

The Browns got pushed around on Sunday, plus the running game continues to struggle and more.

Antonio Brown capped a 56-yard touchdown catch and run on Sunday by flipping into the endzone. It was his second touchdown of the day and put the Steelers ahead, 30-9.

Earlier in the game, Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats practically turned Johnny Manziel's head the other direction on a vicious facemask. He was rightfully flagged for a personal foul and it felt like even the 15 yards and free first down weren't enough.

During a game that was going on at the same time, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton scored to put his team up 26-10 over Tennessee. Newton put on his own dance recital in the endzone and it drew the ire of Titans defenders.

I don't want to sound like the old, this is the way it used to be guy, but I'll admit that it bothered me that the Browns, in neither instance, appeared to show any sort of fight in what is supposed to be a rivalry game. There was no facemask-to-facemask discussion. There was no challenge. There was just getting dominated. It makes me wonder how much fight is left in this team after four consecutive blowouts. It drives home that Browns-Steelers isn't a rivalry anymore.

This is a team that was supposed to be built on toughness. The instances of them actually being the tougher team have been rare on Sundays.

No rush: The Browns had 173 more penalty yards (188) than rushing yards (15) on Sunday. They averaged 1.1 yards per carry.

This was also the third time this season a Browns quarterback led the team in rushing and the seventh time the team's leading rusher had less than 40 yards. There's not much digging to do here. This team simply can't run the football.

The Browns were already trailing, 21-3, at the start of the second half. That's not conducive to committing to running the football. Just to be certain, though, that wasn't the problem. The Browns ran the ball ten times for -6 yards in the first half for an average of -0.6 per carry. You're reading that correctly. The Browns averaged negative yardage on ten first-half runs. The Steelers first-half average of 0.4 yards per carry is Jim Brown-esque compared to what the Browns did in the game's opening 30 minutes.

It's just one more area of regression that dates back to last season for this team.

Another bad day for Ray: Ray Farmer didn't have a great day on Sunday, either, despite Johnny Manziel looking competent. His top draft pick from a year ago was inactive. His top draft pick from this year was invisible. His second pick from this past year -- it didn't go well.

Cameron Erving, for the second week in a row, was bull rushed onto his back, this time at the end of the first half. Cam Heyward practically took Johnny Manziel's handoff away before it got to Isaiah Crowell.

There were multiple instances throughout the game in which Erving, filling in for Joel Bitonio at left guard, was pushed back by a Steelers rusher. There were times where he appeared to be hanging on for dear life to avoid getting pushed back into the quarterback.

Erving, a center in college, said this week that left guard was the position he's probably received the fewest reps at during practice. Mike Pettine said in training camp that Erving best projects as a guard. The common thinking is that Erving was drafted as insurance for starting center Alex Mack should he choose to opt out after the season.

It's entirely unfair to make any sort of lasting judgment about Erving based on the snaps he played against the Bengals and on one start against a difficult pass rush. It's still alarming, though, based on Farmer's draft history, to see a debut as shaky as the rookie's from Florida State.

How to fix it? I don't know. That's well above my pay grade.

I think it starts at the top. The owner's not going anywhere. I think he needs to swallow his pride, though, and hire a strong football voice to be the team president opposite Alec Scheiner. Hire someone who will oversee the football side, tell the marketing, broadcasting and sales people to stay on their side. The line is too blurred right now.

That's the guy who makes the decision on the GM and coach. That's my fix du jour. It's subject to change between now and January.

ESPN will call a different part of campus home for Saturday's game between the Buckeyes and Michigan State. Watch video

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- ESPN's College GameDay will set up in Columbus on Saturday for the first time since 2010 but in a new home.

When the roving Saturday college football show comes to Ohio State, it typically sets up in front of St. John Arena, across the street from Ohio Stadium, with the football stadium serving as the backdrop for the television analysts.

This time, ESPN will build its set on the Oval in front of the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library. ESPN radio will set up in the usual St. John Arena spot.

GameDay has been at an Ohio State game six times since its last trip to an OSU home game. That's according to the GameDay Wikipedia page, which I do believe does an accurate job of tracking appearances.

In order of most recent Ohio State games, those stops were:

* 2014 season, National Championship game vs Oregon in Arlington, Texas

* 2014 season, Ohio State at Michigan State, East Lansing, Nov. 8

* 2013 season, Big Ten Championship vs. Michigan State, Indianapolis

* 2013 season, Ohio State at Northwestern, Evanston, Ill., Oct. 5

* 2012 season, Ohio State at Michigan State, East Lansing, Sept. 29

* 2011 season, Sugar Bowl vs. Arkansas, New Orleans

The last GameDay visit to Columbus was for Ohio State's game vs. Penn State on Nov. 13, 2010, which the Buckeyes won 38-24.

Johnny Manziel had his best day as a pro in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Watch video

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The Cleveland Browns suffered an embarrasing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, 30-9, and enter their bye week with a 2-8 record.

Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, however, had his best day as a pro, completing 33 of 45 passes for 372 yards. He had one TD pass and one interception.

In this video, cleveland.com Browns reporters Mary Kay Cabot and Tom Reed discuss the Tweet below, and whether Manziel helped his case to be the team's quarterback of the future.

I'm just glad we don't have to draft a QB.

-- TheJeremyinAkron (@JeremyinAkron) November 15, 2015

The Steelers blew out the Browns on Sunday. Here are some of the best Vines from the game.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Sunday was a rough one for the Cleveland Browns on many levels. The team was blown out again. There were turnovers, penalties and Ben Roethlisberger playing on one good foot.

This is when we should have known things weren't going to go the Browns' way.

The good news is things got better for Johnny from there. More on that later.

The Browns got a fumble on a punt to start the second quarter. The Steelers ended up recovering. In the scrum for the ball, Johnson Bademosi forgot which direction the Browns were going.

In his defense, they had just switched ends.

This facemask on Johnny Manziel was one of those stomach-churning, "I may never watch football again" moments.

Hey, remember how I said things got better for Johnny? He did this.

In typical Browns fashion, he was ruled short of the goal line and the team failed to score thanks to penalties and an interception.

Later in the fourth quarter, Antonio Brown did this.

Oklahoma is trying to gain respect for the Big 12 the way Ohio State has done it for the Big Ten.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Oklahoma 2015 wants to be Ohio State 2014.

Beyond that, the Big 12 wants to be the Big Ten.

The Buckeyes rule as the reigning National Champions, Iowa is 10-0 for the first time ever, Michigan State remains your favorite chip-on-the-shoulder underdog power and Michigan hired Jim Harbaugh.

Once the conference of no respect - less than a year ago, as the Buckeyes tried to work their way back up the rankings, that was still the case - the Big Ten has shucked off that burden. Ohio State did most of the shucking in January.

The league has followed up that restyling, as Ohio State ran its overall winning streak to 23 Saturday, Michigan reinvented itself and Iowa reclaimed some past glory. Don't forget Michigan State's early win over Oregon and Northwestern's first-week win over Stanford that helped boot the Pac-12 from the playoff picture, smoothing the Big Ten road to the year's playoff.

That road is still possible for the Buckeyes, Hawkeyes and Spartans. And folks like that Harbaugh karma so much, if things get weird, you never know what might happen with a two-loss Michigan team if it beats Ohio State and Iowa on the way to a Big Ten title.

Anyway, this was supposed to be about the Big 12. Remember them?

That league has a foursome like the Big Ten gang led by Meyer, Ferentz, Dantonio and Harbaugh, but no one sees Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Baylor and TCU the same way right now.

Perceived as the best of the Big 12, undefeated Baylor and undefeated TCU were No. 6 and No. 8 in the first College Football Playoff rankings on Nov. 3, while undefeated Oklahoma State was No. 14.

What has happened since then? TCU lost to Oklahoma State and Baylor lost to Oklahoma, proving the committee was right to judge them lower than the polls, which had Baylor at No. 2 and TCU at No. 5 at that same time.

So the committee will continue the yeah-buts with the Big 12 wins until further notice.

The committee will continue to punish the Big 12 for lousy nonconference schedules.

The committee will continue to talk about the admiration for balanced teams, which reads only as "YOUR 60-POINT-A-GAME OFFENSE DOESN'T IMPRESS US, ART BRILES."

What you thought the committee might do to the Big Ten last season the committee instead did to the Big 12. Those final rankings put Ohio State in a year ago and left out TCU and Baylor. The Big 12 is still taking punches.

Seriously - you do remember when the Big Ten was college football's punching bag, right? It was true for nearly a decade, starting with Ohio State's consecutive National Championship losses after the 2006 and 2007 seasons.

You realize it's not true any more, right?

As much as Ohio State fans celebrate what the Buckeyes are as National Champions, the Big Ten can celebrate what it is not - the conference that no one respects.

The Big 12 is living that right now.

Because Oklahoma State's win over TCU is better than any win by a Big Ten contender so far this season, yet the Cowboys were still No. 8 in the playoff committee rankings last week, behind No. 7 Stanford, a team that at that time had one loss - to the fifth-best team in the Big Ten.

The Big Ten has two strong old-school voices on the committee in Wisconsin athletic director and former football coach Barry Alvarez and former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne. The Big 12 has current Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt, who can't carry the same weight.

So the Big 12 includes four of the top seven offenses in the country in Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Ohio State is the top Big Ten offense, and the Buckeyes rank 28th in the country averaging 36.4 points per game.

But that clearly doesn't hold a lot of water. When committee chairman Jeff Long explains the playoff rankings each week, he practically says, "So what?" when it comes to Big 12 offenses and Big 12 wins.

Remember when the Big Ten lived in the So What Zone? It's worse than the Friend Zone.

The way out for the Big 12 is through Oklahoma, which may be on the Ohio State path. A traditional power like the Buckeyes, the Sooners have the same weird loss that Ohio State had last season. For Ohio State it was Virginia Tech, for Oklahoma it is Texas. As a rivalry game, it may be even easier for the committee to get past this loss than it was to get past that Hokies loss for the Buckeyes.

Oklahoma also has a road win against an SEC team, though it was at Tennessee, which might be the ninth-best SEC squad. And the Sooners finish against TCU and Oklahoma State.

The Sooners, like the Buckeyes, must prove they are a team that can rise above a conference that the committee may not think much of. They're fighting not just contenders from other leagues but the disrespect demons in their own conference.

If Oklahoma can get in the playoff, or Oklahoma State if the Cowboys run the table and remain undefeated, then all that needs to happen is for the Big 12 to win the national title and completely change everything about how that league is viewed. 

You know, like Ohio State did for the Big Ten.

Until that happens, the Buckeyes, Spartans, Hawkeyes, Wolverines, Wildcats, Badgers and everyone else in the Big Ten can look at what's happening with the Big 12 and say, "Remember when that was us?"

Elliott did what he had to do to against Illinois to stay in the Heisman Trophy race.

Cleveland Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam said 'No change' right after the loss to Pittsburgh. What do you expect him to say at that point?

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Scribbles in my Browns notebook the morning after the 30-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers:

1. Jimmy Haslam said exactly what he should have said immediately after the game. The media asked if there would be any changes during the bye week. He said, "No change." He also is the owner and has the right to change his mind. Furthermore, that was not the time or the right forum to discuss possible changes with the media.

2. Anything other than "no change," would have been a blowtorch setting off fireworks of speculation. Haslam is watching the same games as the fans. He has to be embarrassed by how his team is playing. But what does he do about the 2-8 Browns?

3. I absolutely hate interim coaches. They are like substitute teachers taking over a chaotic class. No one respects them. It's not their fault, it's the nature of what happens when a team is losing ... the head coach is fired and someone is promoted to act like a head coach but with no job security.

4. I still remember Terry Robiskie coming out after one game holding a football. He was the interim coach after Butch Davis left in 2004. Davis had a 3-8 record. Davis quit, claiming he had panic attacks. Yes, that was another "Only in Browns Town" moment.

5. Anyway, Robiskie brought a football to one post-game press conference. He kept saying, "We have to hang on to this." It made me smile, but it didn't change the situation. The Browns were 1-4 with Robiskie. They were outscored 124-51. He was fired after the season.

6. As I explained in my post-game scribbles, the Browns have no one on the current coaching staff who has been a head coach in the NFL. Only receivers coach Joker Phillips was a Division I head coach, having a 13-24 record at Kentucky (2010-12). Special teams coach Chris Tabor was a head coach for one year (2001) at Culver Stockton, an NAIA school in Canton, Missouri. He had a 6-5 record. He was replaced by Shawn Mennenga, who had the Culver Stockton job for three years. Mennenga is now the Browns assistant special teams coach.

7. The 188 yards in penalties assessed to the Browns in Pittsburgh is the second most in Browns history. The Browns rank No. 2 in yards penalized this season. Only Buffalo has more. The Browns were No. 12 in yards penalized last season. They are an undisciplined, sloppy team.

8. I asked Pettine about all the penalties and he gave a vague answer about needing to look at the video, etc. I think he meant to say he wanted to see if some of the pass interference calls were really pass interference. But it was a poor answer because it gave the impression that he wasn't especially bothered by it. I think the penalties do upset him, but I wish he'd make that known forcefully in his press conferences.

9. Veteran Tramon Williams was flagged twice for pass interference. Johnson Bademosi and Charles Gaines also drew pass interference flags.

10. Defensive players with offsides penalties: Desmond Bryant, Paul Kruger, Karlos Dansby. The Browns also had an illegal formation and a delay of game. So that's five "pre-snap," penalties.

11. The Browns have been penalized 743 yards this season. It was 932 a year ago. With six games left, they will easily blow past that total.

12. When Haslam and General Manager Ray Farmer sit down with Pettine, the easiest thing to resolve is the quarterback situation. Just play Johnny Manziel. Let's see if he continues to improve. Let's see if he can be a starter, a good backup ... or exactly what his role will be in the NFL. Let's see if he has the self-discipline to keep preparing and to stay out of trouble. This is a perfect chance to find out a lot about Manziel.

13. If Pettine wants to go back to Josh McCown at this point, you really have to wonder about the coach. To Pettine's credit, he was upbeat about Manziel after the game, praising the quarterback without being asked.

14. In fact, a way for Pettine to save his job is to develop Manziel as a quarterback who looks like a possible starter for next season. At least that would be something positive to come out of this disaster.

15. One of the most encouraging aspects of Manziel's performance was his completing 33-of-45 passes. He had completed only 51 percent of his passes in 2015 entering this game. His accuracy took a major step forward.

16. This was the sixth time in 10 games the Browns have allowed at least 30 points. It happened only twice last season. So exactly why isn't Pettine more involved with the defense, as he was in 2014? Haslam needs to ask that question.

17. Pettine just shrugged when asked about Justin Gilbert not playing. He mentioned wanting to play Gaines, who appeared in his first pro game. He keeps playing Bademosi in front of Gilbert, and Bademosi is over-matched at cornerback. He is a special teams player. Why not take a look at Gilbert in some situations? Bademosi played 17 snaps at cornerback.

18. The Browns often leave their cornerback "on an island." That means they are by themselves, not much help in coverage from safeties. The idea is to create more players available to rush the passer. But the Browns have only 16 sacks this season, and seven were in the same game against Tennessee. So they aren't doing a good job in coverage, and they are failing to put pressure on the passer.

19. Haslam and Farmer should ask Pettine, "Come on, isn't there a problem with the defensive scheme? Get real. Look at the numbers and the game video."

20. Part of good coaching is saying, "I'd like to pressure the passer and trust my cornerbacks, but that's not working. We have to change."

21. Finally, Monday Morning Quarterback's Peter King wrote: "How hard it must be to root for the Browns ... mistake after mistake after mistake."

Jimmy Haslam told cleveland.com's Tom Reed that there will be no major changes at coach or GM at the bye week. But should there be? Watch video

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The Cleveland Browns are have a lot of questions to figure out during their bye week after Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They stand with a 2-8 record.

After the game, owner Jimmy Haslam told cleveland.com's Tom Reed that he won't be making any major changes during the bye week. But should he?

Urban Meyer and his coaching staff have been recruiting five-star offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson of Brooklyn (N.Y.) Poly Prep, and the 6-foot-7, 322-pound prospect released a top eight on Sunday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State already has a verbal commitment from five-star offensive tackle Josh Myers of Miamisburg, Ohio, in its 2017 recruiting class. 

The Buckeyes don't want only one. 

Urban Meyer and his coaching staff have been recruiting five-star offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson of Brooklyn (N.Y.) Poly Prep, and the 6-foot-7, 322-pound prospect released a top eight on Sunday. 

The Buckeyes made the cut, along with Michigan, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Clemson, LSU and Rutgers.

-- [?] [?]Hav[?] [?] (@savagezay74) November 13, 2015

Along with Myers, Ohio State also has an offensive line pledge from four-star prospect Jake Moretti of Arvada (Colo.) Pomona. 

Ohio State is trying to put the finishing touches on its 2016 recruiting class, but it has gotten off to a really fast start in 2017, and adding Wilson, who is rated in the 247Sports composite rankings the No. 5 offensive tackle in the class, would be huge. 

As of now, Ohio State has the No. 1 overall class in the 2017 class, according to the 247Sports team rankings. 

Ohio State plays Michigan State on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The game you've been waiting for is here.

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer will preview Saturday's game against Michigan State during his Monday news conference at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Meyer is expected at the podium around 11:45 a.m.

Updates and comments from Meyer will appear in the comments section below.

The No. 3 Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) are coming off a 28-3 win over Illinois on Saturday. J.T. Barrett was back at quarterback for the Buckeyes, but the offense did not click the same way it did three weeks ago against Rutgers when Barrett made his first start.

No. 13 Michigan State (9-1, 5-1) is coming off a 24-7 win over Maryland. Spartans quarterback Connor Cook injured his shoulder against the Terrapins, but said he'll play on Saturday against the Buckeyes.

A few weeks ago, it looked like this would be a matchup of No. 1 vs. No. 2, but Ohio State hasn't been good enough to get that top ranking, and Michigan State lost to Nebraska last week.

But that doesn't mean this isn't an important game. Whoever wins has the path to the Big Ten Championship and a possible playoff spot.

The first offensive play for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday encapsulated their recent stretch of games perfectly.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The first offensive play for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday encapsulated their recent stretch of games perfectly.

Johnny Manziel took the snap, went to throw and the ball slipped out of his hands, giving the Steelers great field position and ultimately allowing them to take the first lead after a field goal.

To Manziel's credit, he rebounded nicely, driving the Browns downfield for the game-tying field goal. But not even his best game as a pro, throwing for 372 yards and a touchdown, was enough to end the season-long losing skid.

The Steelers won, 30-9, sending the Browns into a bye week that will be dotted with questions.

Here is what they are writing nationally following Cleveland's fifth straight loss:

CBS Sports hands out weekly grades and while there weren't too many positives to take from the blowout loss, there was one -- Manziel.

"The bad news for the Browns is that they lost, but that happens all the time to them, so let's focus on the good news: Johnny Manziel actually looked like a competent quarterback. Johnny Football threw for 372 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, the Browns defense couldn't slow Pittsburgh down. The Steelers only punted once on Sunday and that came on their very first offensive series of the game. Grade: D."

Yahoo Sports points out the Week 10 winners and losers. No Browns make the list, but the Pittsburgh Steelers' wideouts, a group that torched the Browns on Sunday, do have a place.

"We can argue endlessly if Ben Roethlisberger makes the Steelers' receivers great or it's the other way around, but let's agree that they're both a lot better off with each other. Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant probably weren't happy to see Landry Jones leave the game with an ankle injury Sunday ... but they probably didn't mind seeing Roethlisberger back on the field either. 

Bryant had 178 yards and a touchdown on six catches. Brown had 139 yards and two touchdowns on 10 catches, and he has a good argument for being the best non-quarterback in the NFL this season. Brown already has 1,141 yards and that's with some wasted weeks when Michael Vick couldn't get him the ball. He also had an awesome front flip celebration on one of his touchdowns. Roethlisberger had 379 yards off the bench, and that's an NFL record for a quarterback who didn't start the game according to NFL.com's Gil Brandt.

The Steelers won to improve to 6-4 in a game they needed to win. They won't have All-Pro running back Le'Veon Bell for the rest of the season, and that probably limits what they can accomplish this season, but the passing game won't be fun for any opponent to draw in the playoffs."

Pete Prisco from CBS Sports believes it's time for the Browns to make a permanent quarterback switch. 

"Is there any doubt that the Browns need to play Johnny Manziel the rest of the way? He looked much more comfortable against the Steelers in his start than he did last week against the Bengals. He made some mistakes, but he threw for 372 yards and a touchdown. Why the Browns would consider going back to Josh McCown is a mystery. Their season is done. Find out if Manziel can grow. Mike Pettine has to know that's the right thing to do."

ESPN.com's Pat McManamon hands out his game ball for Week 10 and it goes to Manziel despite the loss.

"He had by far his best game for the Browns, completing 33 of 45 passes for 372 yards and a TD and interception. Manziel was poised and effective in the pocket. It was not his fault that the Browns lost. He actually gave hope for the future." 

FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo points out that he flashed back to Manziel's college days at one point during Sunday's loss.

"It was late in the third quarter when Johnny Manziel looked downfield and didn't see anyone open, so he moved left to escape the pocket, only to be grabbed by the Pittsburgh Steelers' Jarvis Jones.

Manziel spun, forcing Jones to try to hang on with one hand. He was unable. Manziel then froze linebacker Arthur Moats with a pump fake and darted up the middle. He was tackled just before he crossed the goal line for an 11-yard gain.

It was proof Johnny Football still exists.

The drive didn't result in any points, thanks in large part to a holding penalty on rookie guard Cam Erving and a sack of Manziel when linebacker Ryan Shazier bulled right through rookie running back Duke Johnson, but Manziel was outstanding on that drive. He completed nine of 10 passes for 82 yards before he was intercepted on a fourth-and-goal play when he was simply taking a chance because he had to.

At this point, the Browns and head coach Mike Pettine can't possibly keep Manziel on the bench. Pettine's team (2-8) is trending downward and, given the fact he's a defensive coach, the Cleveland defense's ranking 29th in the NFL is an issue. The conversation regarding the Browns often seems to revolve around the quarterback position, but frankly this team has issues all over the place."

From NFL.com:

"NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported before the game that Browns coach Mike Pettine doesn't believe Johnny Manziel has earned the starting gig. I see a quarterback who needs to keep playing. Why not? Despite clumsily losing the ball for a fumble on his first pass attempt, Manziel rebounded to hook up with Travis Benjamin for a 61-yard gain en route to hitting 19 of his first 23 passes. He generated points on just two of his 11 drives, but Cleveland's dried-up ground game, spotty blocking and endless penalties were no help as Manziel was sacked five times on the day. Finishing 33-of-45 passing for 372 yards with a touchdown and a pick, Manziel made his mistakes, but showed overall growth under center. We don't understand what the Browns are doing if they sit him again. Find out what you have. After all, certain moments from Johnny suggest something special."

There's another vote for Manziel to become the Browns' starting QB for the remainder of the season. It comes from Michael David Smith from ProFootballTalk.com.

"Manziel was far from perfect in the Browns' 30-9 loss to the Steelers yesterday. But Manziel did complete 33 of 45 passes for 372 yards and also make plenty of plays with his legs. He looked like he has some promise, and the Browns need to stick with him the rest of the year and let him show what he can do. There's no reason to go back to Josh McCown except that Browns coach Mike Pettine is a stubborn man who wants to stick with his preferred quarterback. If Pettine goes back to McCown, he's putting his own stubbornness ahead of the long-term well-being of the franchise."

CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora points to Cleveland's biggest problem during Sunday's loss against Pittsburgh in his Inside Football column. 

"The Browns seem to regress by the week, which is saying something given the low point they were starting from. They had 10 penalties for 154 yards Sunday, against rival Pittsburgh, before the third quarter had even expired. They routinely extended drives with procedural penalties, gave the Steelers extra cracks at fourth downs and took points off the scoreboard. This team isn't nearly good enough to beat most teams consistently playing disciplined football, much less with these kinds of performances. With Johnny Manziel again generally doing well under duress, should Mike Pettine opt to come out of the bye with Josh McCown under center, the cliques and alliances in that building will only grow. Cleveland will come out of its bye having won two games in the past 53 weeks (since Nov. 22 of last year)."

Monday Morning Quarterback's Peter King has some thoughts on the Browns goal for the remainder of the season.  

"I think I'm not telling Mike Pettine what to do or anything, but this might be the year for the Browns to go 2-14 and get the first overall pick. I've even got the campaign slogan for the Browns players and coaches: 'Be lax for Pax.' Or, if they get to the last week needing a loss against Pittsburgh to ensure the first overall pick, how about this: 'Clinch for Lynch.'"

It's possible we haven't seen this much talent at the position since the AL boasted young upstarts Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Nomar Garciaparra in the late '90s.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A skinny, pimply, barely-of-legal-drinking-age shortstop will collect the American League Rookie of the Year Award on Monday evening.

Whether it's Houston's Carlos Correa or Cleveland's Francisco Lindor, one thing is clear, given the performances by the pair of first-year players in 2015: The future of the shortstop position in the AL is in good hands (and gloves).

Correa was the No. 1 overall amateur draft selection in 2012. The Indians scooped up Lindor with the No. 8 choice a year earlier. Perhaps neither player will live up to the lofty expectations. Their rookie numbers, however, would suggest otherwise.

It isn't just Correa (21 years old) and Lindor (turned 22 on Saturday) leading the shortstop renaissance in the AL. Boston's Xander Bogaerts (23) batted .320 with 35 doubles and 81 RBIs. New York's Didi Gregorius (25), in his first full big league campaign, turned in a fine season in the field. Last week, Andrelton Simmons (26), a two-time Gold Glove Award winner in Atlanta, joined the Los Angeles Angels in a trade.

It's possible we haven't seen this much talent at the position since the AL boasted young upstarts Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Nomar Garciaparra in the late '90s.

Once Cal Ripken Jr. shifted to third base in his later years, the AL youth movement commenced. Jeter captured the Rookie of the Year crown in 1996. That was also Rodriguez's first full season, and he was named an All-Star and finished second in the Most Valuable Player balloting, with a .358/.414/.631 slash line, 54 doubles, 36 home runs, 123 RBIs, 141 runs scored and 15 stolen bases. He turned 21 in late July that year. Garciaparra joined the fray in 1997, when he was an All-Star, the Rookie of the Year, and the AL hits leader.

The trio revolutionized the shortstop position, which had long been considered solely a source of defense. For the first time, 6-foot-3 behemoths were anchoring the infield and swatting balls over fences. They tended to overshadow Omar Vizquel, who won nine consecutive Gold Glove Awards from 1993-2001, but only made the All-Star team in '98 and '99.

Perhaps Simmons will fill that role while Correa, Lindor and Bogaerts -- not exactly defensive slouches themselves -- rack up the offensive accolades. Correa posted an .857 OPS, with 22 homers and 68 RBIs in 99 games. He didn't turn 21 until the waning moments of the regular season. Lindor exceeded expectations with a .313 batting average and 12 homers in 99 contests. He also totaled 10 defensive runs saved, according to FanGraphs, the most among AL shortstops.

Lindor, Bogaerts, Correa and Gregorius -- in that order -- ranked as the top four AL shortstops in WAR in 2015. Keep in mind, Lindor and Correa only played in 99 big league affairs. Erick Aybar, Jose Reyes, Danny Santana and J.J. Hardy led the way in WAR last year. Those names don't exactly scream star power.

Shortstops Alcides Escobar and Jose Iglesias represented the AL at the All-Star Game in July. Escobar finished the season ranked 10th in the AL at the position in WAR. Iglesias finished eighth. Escobar posted a .613 OPS during the regular season. He then became the AL Championship Series MVP and the catalyst of Kansas City's championship lineup. Iglesias batted .300 in a career-high 120 games with Detroit.

Troy Tulowitzki, a five-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove recipient, might be the old man on the block. The man who turned 31 last month owns a career .297 average and .877 OPS. He joined the Toronto Blue Jays at the trade deadline over the summer and figures to enter the 2016 campaign as part of a potent batting order that also features Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion.

Jeter bowed out last fall after about 20 years at the shortstop position. It appears as though the spot is in capable hands for the foreseeable future.

A 12-week recovery period would land near Dec. 15. The full 14-week timetable puts his debut near early January.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The word is Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert is breaking records when it comes to how aggressively he's attacking his rehabilitation.

That might be hyperbole, but what's clear is he's ahead of schedule in his recovery from a ruptured Extensor Carpi Ulnaris sheath in his right wrist. But if you ask him, none of this comes as a surprise.

Is a mid-December season debut in the works?

"If I could have, I would have played soon as they took the cast off [on Oct. 14]. I think I'm six weeks out. They said 12-14 [weeks], right? If I can make it at 12, I'm trying to make it at 12," Shumpert told cleveland.com. "If I can get there right at 12, I'm trying to get there right at 12, but I'm trying to make sure I take my time."

A 12-week recovery period would land near Dec. 15. The full 14-week timetable puts his debut near early January.

Shumpert has worked on maintaining conditioning and strengthening the one hand he can use: his non-dominant left. Assistant coach Phil Handy has a created a rigorous workout plan that includes ball-handling, shooting floaters, making crisp passes and Shumpert is even dunking with his left in halfcourt simulation sets.

Anything that has to do with handling the ball, it's all being performed with his left. But that is on the verge of changing soon.

"I just started being able to touch it with my right hand and finish," he said. "I think within week, I'll be able to maybe do layups and stuff with my right hand. It's a progression."

With all the reps and attention being paid to his left hand, he is of the mindset that once his right hand is fully healed, he'll come back better than before.

"I better, unless this is all in vain," Shumpert said with a laugh. "I definitely feel like I have more control with my left hand. But if you're not able to use your right, you're going to find a way [to be productive]. So I've been using my left-hand floater and developing a touch. I'm definitely more comfortable using it."

Although he's progressing, frustration sets in from time to time. He's a basketball junkie. It's killing him to be a spectator at practices and games. He understands it's a process, but at times he feels left out.

"Here and there I'm like, 'damn, I'm sick of doing cone drills,'" Shumpert says. "[I'm] listening to one coach. Coach [David] Blatt's not giving me any directions. He's not paying me any mind. [He's] running plays for everybody and I'm just sitting there. I have to learn the plays through film. That's frustrating, but I haven't hit that wall where I'm just like, 'dog, this is taking too long.'"

While sidelined, Shumpert has been doing all that the Cavaliers have asked. On occasions they've had to tell him to pull back some. That's just a testament to his drive.

Whether he hits the court in mid-December or January, it won't occur until he's completely healthy. There's a bigger picture to keep in mind.

"I'm coming back when it feels right," he said. "I'm not in a rush. We know what we're playing for."

Ohio State hasn't had a ton of recruiting visitors this year because its 2016 recruiting class is very full. But because Michigan State is the biggest home game of the year for the Buckeyes, the sidelines are expected to be packed. Inside a list of expected visitors.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Dennis Manoloff of The Plain Dealer joins CineSport's Noah Coslov to discuss why he gave Johnny Manziel a B- for week 10 and what to expect after the bye week.

Something that helped Barrett win the starting job was a struggle on Saturday against Illinois.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- There were specific numbers Urban Meyer pointed to when he named J.T. Barrett Ohio State's starting quarterback before the game against Rutgers nearly a month ago.

The big ones were proficiency in the red zone and on third down.

Barrett isn't in jeopardy of losing the job now, it's evident the offense needs him to consistently move the ball. But Barrett was bad in one of those two key areas in Saturday's win over Illinois.

In eight chances with the ball in his hand on third down, Barrett managed to get the first down just twice. He completed 2-of-4 passes for 23 yards and one first down. He ran four times for 23 yards and one first down in third down situations.

Ohio State was 4-for-13 on third down for the game, and is statistically one of the worst teams in the country on third down. They're ranked 77th with a 38.6 completion rate on third down. To put that in perspective, the Buckeyes were third in third-down conversion last year, converting more than half of their tries.

Part of the struggles on Saturday against Illinois were due to poor pass protection, but Barrett is supposed to be a better option on third down than Cardale Jones.

He needs to be better this week against Michigan State.

Here are Ohio State's complete quarterback numbers through 10 weeks:

J.T. BARRETT PASSING VS. ILLINOIS

J.T. BARRETT RUSHING VS. ILLINOIS

Johnny Manziel played possibly his best game on Sunday. Is there reason to return to the veteran? Watch video

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- With the Browns season essentially over, there will be more young players likely getting looks as the season goes along. That would include second-year quarterback Johnny Manziel.

That being said, is there any reason for head coach Mike Pettine to go back to veteran Josh McCown as the starter for the team's next game -- a Monday night date against Baltimore? Bud Shaw, Chris Fedor and Michael Reghi debated the topic on Monday morning. Take a look at the video and tell us what you think.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton shot back at J.J. Watt for that Red Rider BB Gun comment after T.J. Yates and the Houston Texans won on MNF. Rob Ryan was fired and Victor Cruz's career is in jeopardy. Kris Bryant and Carlos Correa are Rookies of the Year. Holly Holm is OK with a rematch against Ronda Rousey.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Houston Texans backup T.J. Yates replaced Brian Hoyer and upset Andy Dalton and the previously undefeated Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, which prompted J.J. Watt to compare Dalton to a Red Rider BB gun.

Watch DeAndre Hopkins' crazy catch for the only touchdown of the game below.

New York Giants wideout Victor Cruz's career could be over, and Rob Ryan's career isn't looking too promising after he was fired as the New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator.

Remember when the Cubs demoted Kris Bryant in spring training? He didn't forget, and it helped drive him to become National League Rookie of the Year.

The Indians also sent Francisco Lindor down in spring training, and perhaps if they had kept him around he might have won the AL Rookie of the Year. Instead, he was second to Houston's Carlos Correa.

How low can the Browns go? Secondary market ticket prices for their upcoming Monday Night Football game against the Ravens are cheaper than what some downtown lots charge for parking.

And if you were Holly Holm, would you give Ronda Rousey a rematch?

These are some of the trending sports stories Tuesday:

T.J. Yates leads Texans upset of Bengals: Haunting the previously undefeated Bengals for the third time in his career and throwing a 22-yard game-winning touchdown pass in a game that counted for the first time since beating Cincinnati twice as a rookie, T.J. Yates calmly led the Texans to a dramatic 10-6 victory Monday night at Paul Brown Stadium.

Yates recalled his past heroics at this stadium, including when his parents watched him clinch a playoff berth for the Texans as a rookie.

Signed on Oct. 28 after the Texans cut chronically late backup quarterback Ryan Mallett, Yates entered the game when starting quarterback Brian Hoyer left the game in the third quarter with a concussion and displayed poise, accuracy and sound decision-making.

Although it was primarily behind an inspired defensive performance that stymied a usually prolific Bengals offense led by Andy Dalton, the 4-5 Texans wouldn't have been able to beat the 8-1 Bengals without Yates' contributions. (Houston Chronicle)

Andy Dalton shoots back at J.J. Watt: Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton wasn't happy with comments defensive end J.J. Watt made to ESPN after the Texans' 10-6 victory.

Watt told Lisa Salters, "Our goal was to come out here and make the Red Rifle look like a Red Rider BB Gun, and I think we did that tonight."

Watt went on to praise Dalton - calling him a great quarterback and the Bengals a great team - but Dalton didn't like the Red Rider comment.

"I'm disappointed in him because of the integrity of this game," Dalton said. "I have a lot of respect for him. He's a really good player.

"There are a lot of kids and people who look up to him, and for him to make comments like that, he's just showing it's acceptable to say that kind of stuff.

"It's disappointing for one of the best players in this league to come out and say something like that. It shows what he's about, and that's disappointing." (Houston Chronicle)

Bengals at their worst: The previously unbeaten Cincinnati Bengals played their worst game of the year offensively.

The offensive line and receivers were called for numerous penalties, from holds to false starts, to push the team further back on drives or eliminate positive plays. Andy Dalton was inaccurate, from dump offs to deep balls. A.J. Green was completely taken away. Tyler Eifert dropped the ball. The running game was ineffective.

And it took all of that for Houston to barely squeak by, thanks to an early fourth-quarter touchdown from backup quarterback T.J. Yates to DeAndre Hopkins, who made a great play over the head of Adam Jones along the boundary of the end zone. The Bengals' defense, which entered the game with the league's second-best scoring defense, was stingy again - but the group was just one play too short. (Cincinnati Enquirer)

Victor Cruz's career in jeopardy: Victor Cruz's much-heralded return will not take place this year. And there is some doubt that it ever will.

The Giants wide receiver announced Monday morning that he will require season-ending surgery on his left calf. He made the announcement in a video through the website Uninterrupted. (Newsday) 

Kris Bryant unanimous Rookie of Year in NL: Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant was named the National League Rookie of the Year, a unanimous choice by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

It was called "a bad day for baseball" when Byant was sent down in spring training. A bad day for baseball turned into a good year for Bryant -- and perhaps became the impetus for his monster season.

Bryant said Monday he played with a "chip on my shoulder" after the Cubs sent him down, and it worked to perfection in the long run.

"It's good to play that way sometimes," he said. "You really want to help your team win in any way possible, and sometimes when you have something to play for, you play even better." (Chicago Tribune) 

Francisco Lindor second to Carlos Correa: Cleveland Indians shortstop Franciso Lindor turned in a ravishing rookie season that included an array of defensive highlights and timely hits. One rookie, however, stood tallest in 2015. Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa received the American League Rookie of the Year Award.

"It's not disappointing," Lindor said. "You're a little upset because you want to win. I'm not disappointed. I'm not mad. I'm here with my family, my agent, the people I love. That's what it's all about.'' (cleveland.com) 

Holly Holm ready when rematch comes: Holly Holm woke up Monday morning in Australia basking in the satisfaction of her massive upset of Ronda Rousey and her new standing as the Ultimate Fighting Championship women's bantamweight champion.

And she might not have to fight again until the summer, given UFC President Dana White's position that Rousey deserves a rematch and probably won't be ready until UFC 200 on July 9, 2016, in the new Las Vegas arena.

"I want to fight when they give me the opportunity," Holm told The Times in a telephone conversation from Melbourne, Australia. "I've never once said I want to fight this date against this person. I've always wanted to be the champion.

"My mental game is the best when I just take the opportunity when it comes, so whatever opportunity they give me is what I'll want to take." (Los Angeles Times) 

Browns tickets plummet, just like team: Log onto StubHub.com and browse the asking prices for the Browns-Ravens game on Monday Night Football in two weeks. There are $95 upper-deck, midfield tickets going for $28. Upper-level corners with a $74 face value on the TicketMaster website are available for $15 on StubHub.

This is the cost of a 2-8 season when the Browns still have four home games remaining. It's the cost of 17 years of bad football and unfulfilled expectations.

A season ago, the Browns were 6-4 at this time and would have killed for a three-game home stand like the one that opens after the bye week. Now, you wonder about the enthusiasm level for a team that's lost five straight and shows no signs of bottoming out. (cleveland.com) 

BGSU-Toledo showdown tonight on ESPN: As the Mid-American Conference football season winds down, the pressure builds to continue winning, particularly in the MAC West. For Toledo, that means Tuesday night's rivalry game at Bowling Green is a little bigger than usual.

Bowling Green (8-2, 6-0) is the only team undefeated in MAC play and has the East title locked up. But the West is still in turmoil as Toledo (8-1, 5-1), Northern Illinois (7-3, 5-1) and Western Michigan (6-4, 5-1) remain tied for first, with Central Michigan (5-5, 4-2) still in the title picture as well.

Toledo and Bowling Green square off at 6 p.m. on ESPN2 and it's a rivalry game, both on the field and on Twitter, where eight current NFL players, four from Toledo and four from Bowling Green, will conduct a Twitter Takeover. (The Plain Dealer) 

GW upsets No. 6 Virginia: Mike Lonergan has his biggest win in five years as George Washington's coach. His Colonials beat No. 6 Virginia 73-68 on Monday night.

But first, he had to overcome a faux pas. With just over three minutes to play, George Washington was assessed a technical foul for having six men on the court.

"I'm glad we won because I've never had six guys on the court. I take the blame for that. I thought I'd get (criticized) in here if that came back to haunt us," Lonergan said.

It didn't matter. (Associated Press)
