Latest news and updates about the Ohio State
The buildup this week to No. 1 Ohio State playing Penn State is not what it has been in previous seasons, for obvious reasons. Penn State is 3-4 and 0-4 in Big Ten play, and they have already fired head coach James Franklin after three straight losses to Oregon, UCLA, and Northwestern. In their first […]

I have been a long-time James Franklin skeptic in that, while he was Penn State’s head coach, no matter how good the Nittany Lions were in any given year, I could go into Ohio State’s matchup with them with a certain level of confidence. I guess by that metric, a more accurate label for myself […]

Ohio State is still 7-0 following the bye week and is now preparing to host Penn State this weekend.

After multiple crazy weeks around college football, this week saw very few major upsets and much less movement in the poll. The top contenders continue to separate themselves, with Ohio State and Indiana sitting atop what looks like an SEC-heavy playoff field.

It was a late October day in Columbus, Ohio. Clouds sprinkled across the sky and the sun made the 50 degrees Fahrenheit day a prototypical autumn afternoon in the midwest. It was the kind of day where a hoodie and jeans felt perfect. Locals knew it was a “false fall” kind of day that should […]

Not long ago, the possibility of Penn State’s trip to Ohio State would be a #1 vs. #2 match-up seemed likely – perhaps inevitable. However, what was forecasted as the biggest game of the regular season has lost its luster thanks to the Nittany Lions 0-4 start in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes will be […]

The dilemma for opposing defensive coordinators is clear the moment Ohio State lines up. Two elite receivers, one impossible choice. Jeremiah Smith continues to be the steady, dominant presence every defense must account for, while Carnell Tate’s rise into full-fledged WR1 form has made double coverage a losing game. The ripple effect can be seen […]

Ohio State went on the road for the second straight week and the Buckeyes did their job again, bringing home a 34-0 shutout victory over the Wisconsin Badgers.
