Ohio State women’s basketball forward Ella Hobbs missed her first year of college basketball due to an ACL injury. It was not on a key rebound inside the paint or using her physicality to get through defenders under the basket. No, it was none of those situations expected of a 6-foot-4 forward. “In high school, […]

Last week ATS: 7-8 (4-4 National, 3-4 B1G) Season ATS: 81-77 (33-40 National, 48-37 B1G) So far this year it has felt like we’ll have one big weekend a month and the rest of the time we are either a game above or below .500. It’s hard to get mad about since our season record […]

It has often been said that there is no recession-proof program in college football, quite like Ohio State. The Buckeyes have been ranked in the AP Poll more than any team in the sport, and only Alabama has spent more weeks at No. 1. So, to celebrate the program’s indestructibility, the National Bobblehead Hall of […]

Coming into the season, this weekend’s matchup was circled as one of the marquee showdowns on the college football calendar. While things have gone a bit sideways in Happy Valley and the game might not carry the same top-ten billing it once promised, Ohio State isn’t taking Penn State lightly. From the coaching staff to […]

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0, 4-0) are back in Columbus this week after a bye week last week to take on the reeling Penn State Nittany Lions (3-4, 0-4). A game that some people thought could be a top-three matchup, Penn State has had a disastrous season that has seen its head coach […]

Ohio State’s defensive identity this season starts at the edges of the defense. The Buckeyes’ corner room has quietly become one of the deepest, most reliable units in the country. A blend of veteran leadership, tested transfers and high-upside youth that has allowed Matt Patricia’s front seven to operate with fearless aggression. Jermaine Mathews Jr. […]

The rhythm of Ohio State’s offense this fall has felt less like chaos and more like composition — a carefully layered, perfectly timed symphony with Julian Sayin as its conductor. At just 20 years old, Sayin has turned what could have been a volatile quarterback transition into the most seamless offensive identity the Buckeyes have […]

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 […]

In an age of coaching turnover, booster collectives and headline-grabbing NIL deals, Ohio State is quietly winning a different sort of recruiting battle: the argument for steadiness. The Buckeyes’ selling point in recruiting rooms this fall has been less about an individual payday or a single flashy promise and more about a predictable process, consistent […]

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 and Penn State have played football every year since 1993, when the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten. Saturday will be the last time the programs will meet until 2028 due to the expansion of the Big Ten Conference. The annual meeting could have continued if Penn State had identified Ohio State as […]

Last season was the final campaign before revenue sharing started to make its mark in college basketball. For Ohio State women’s basketball, that meant possibly a final season with nearly 15 players on its roster. On the 14-player roster, four players did not play a minute and earned redshirt status. Forward Seini Henry is one […]

Ohio State enjoyed its second bye week — or “improvement week,” if you like — over the weekend, while most of the rest of the conference kept playing. We took the opportunity to get a look at some of the remaining competition, but what seemed like a strong slate of games was a bit disappointing […]

Ohio State is still 7-0 following the bye week and is now preparing to host Penn State this weekend. A game that looked to be one of the most challenging on Ohio State’s schedule at the start of the year has certainly lost some of its flair with Penn State’s disappointing season. However, do not […]
