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 […]
A&M had one of their biggest wins in recent memory on Saturday, dismantling LSU 49-25 in Death Valley. But as is the case when you get near the top of the rankings, A&M stayed put at No. 3 in both the USA Today Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25 behind Ohio State (idle) and […]
Going into the season, many thought the Nov. 1 matchup between Ohio State and Penn State would be a clash of top 5 titans. Instead, an unranked 3-4 Nittany Lions team heads to Columbus next Saturday. Here are five things you need to know about Saturday’s matchup against Penn State. 1. Eight-game winning streak Ohio […]
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 […]
Happy football bye week, Jeff Boals exhibition week, and National Bologna Day, to those of you who celebrate any of those three things. The Ohio State men’s basketball team will face off with the Ohio University Bobcats in two days in an unofficial scrimmage, which you can buy tickets for here and attend, if you […]
Last month during Ohio State’s bye week, I put together my Big Ten power rankings. Since we are now at Ohio State’s second bye week and with just over a month of the regular season left, this is a good time to see where things stand in the Big Ten. The number after the team […]

As Ryan Day noted earlier this week in his press conference, the off week is a chance for younger guys to continue getting reps and the more experienced players to take advantage of some time to focus on their bodies. The program is using this last improvement week of the season to put themselves in […]
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 […]
Minnesota started the weekend off with a surprise win over Nebraska. Penn State continued its winless streak, this time losing at Iowa. UCLA continued its winning streak by beating Maryland. Ohio State and Oregon won on the road, but all of the other home teams won their games. So where does that leave all of […]
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has been called the best player in college football over and over again, and there’s no doubt he is. But we also know the Heisman committee favors the guys throwing the ball, and at this point in the season, arguably no one is doing that better than Julian Sayin. […]

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. There was a time not too long ago when a win by that score on the road would have been considered an amazing accomplishment, but with the […]
This week the separation became even more stark in the conference. Ohio State and Indiana are pulling away and on a collision course for an undefeated meeting in the B1G title game in Indy. A bunch of teams are a game back in the loss column, but that may not matter in the end unless […]
Ryan Day is the smartest head coach in college football. He understands that this is a long season, longer than college football seasons have been in the past. In particular, there used to be multiple to several weeks in between Conference Championship Saturday and the College Football Playoff Semifinals. Now, there can be as little […]
Penn State is still out of the Coaches Poll and the Associated Press ranking after another heartbreaking defeat, and their road will not get easier, as they face the top two teams in the country after this week’s bye. Ohio State remains No. 1 in both polls, with other conference foes Indiana (Now 2nd in […]
Indiana football quarterback Fernando Mendoza has the second best odds to win the Heisman Trophy following Week 9, per FanDuel Sportsbook. As of Sunday afternoon, Mendoza’s odds sit at +340, just behind Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, who leads with odds of +320. The two are trailed by Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin (+410), Texas A&M […]

But that’s ok, that’s what your friends […]
Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell has had a tough run in Madison, and his former team didn’t make it any easier on him Saturday. The Badgers, who currently sit at the bottom of the Big Ten, had a few nice individual moments, but they struggled to translate them into any sort of rhythm, and ultimately, […]
Ryan Day has made it clear that he is not worried about style points. In the 12-team playoff era, Ohio State simply has to avoid losing three games to have a guaranteed spot in the postseason tournament. OSU’s head coach doesn’t see the value in running up scores and piling on opponents, especially when he […]
