I’m still thinking about the star power of Ohio State’s freshmen in Saturday’s win over Ball State
As the Buckeyes walloped Ball State, 56-3, over the weekend, there were, of course, a lot of familiar faces doing the walloping. 2025 Heisman finalist quarterback Julian Sayin threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 12.8 yards per throw. Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith had 151 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions, including a […]

Deck the halls this holiday season with an Ohio State ornament Advent Calendar
Happy Labor Day, Buckeye fans.

So, naturally, it […]

Off-Script Ohio: Ohio State rolls past Ball State, but Texas is already looming

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Ohio State’s 56-3 win vs. Ball State
