Ohio State vs. Iowa: 2026 game preview and prediction
Following a 42-19 win over Illinois in Columbus in their Big Ten opener last week, Ohio State hits the road in conference play for the first time this season when they travel to Iowa on Saturday for a ranked showdown with the Hawkeyes in Iowa City. Last week, Jeremiah Smith had one of the best […]
Ohio State offers 2028 ATH, stays in the hunt for in-state 2027 RB
Not done evaluating the class of 2028, Ohio State is still looking for new names that they believe can fit the caliber of player in Columbus. Earlier this week the latest offer was dished out, as the Buckeyes made their way back into Chattanooga, Tennessee with Dion Edwards out of Tyner Academy. Taking to his […]
Column: There are actually a few positives to take away from Ohio State’s poor defensive performance against Illinois
The defensive numbers from Ohio State’s win over Illinois were not great. The Buckeyes held the Illini to 19 points, their lowest total of the season and nearly half as much as their 34 points per game average. However, Bret Bielema’s group racked up 462 yards of offense, including just under 200 rushing yards. Ohio […]
Iowa’s best tradition puts college football in its proper perspective
I am, admittedly, an enormous sucker for college football traditions. I have made no secret of that throughout the years, especially this season. Give me marching bands, rivalry trophies, weird chants, fight songs, archaic stadiums, mascots with inexplicable origin stories, and rituals that would sound absolutely insane if you tried to explain them to someone […]
Ohio State’s Jaloni Cambridge earns Big Ten preseason honors
Another sign that the college basketball season is fast approaching came Thursday. That is when the Big Ten Conference announced the preseason awards, voted on by coaches and select members of the media. For the second season in a row, Ohio State women’s basketball point guard Jaloni Cambridge was amongst the illustrious list of basketball […]
5 things to know about Iowa
As the No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes (3-1, 1-0) head to Kinnick Stadium to take on the No. 14 Iowa Hawkeyes (4-0, 1-0) in what is one of the games of the year in the Big Ten so far, here are five things to know about the Iowa Hawkeyes. (An honorable-mention sixth thing to know […]
Ohio State makes an impression on game-day visitors, looks to re-enter open 2028 recruitment
Ohio State’s next major road test arrives this weekend, and a trip to Iowa is rarely an easy assignment. The Buckeyes might enter as 14.5-point favorites, but Kinnick Stadium has earned its reputation as one of the more difficult places to play in the Big Ten, and Ohio State will need to be sharp if […]

Beyond the Box Score: What stood out besides Jeremiah Smith in Ohio State’s 42-19 win over Illinois
Midway through the second quarter, the Buckeyes faced a 3rd-and-7 from their own 34-yard line, leading Illinois 14-7. The Fighting Illini brought pressure, and multiple players got to quarterback Julian Sayin… except they couldn’t bring him down. Sayin escaped multiple would-be sacks, then left the pocket to the right side of the field. Rather than […]
Ryan Day wants Legend Bey to play against Iowa

Off-Script Ohio: Buckeyes head to Kinnick for top-15 showdown with Iowa
Ohio State is 3-1 and heads to Iowa City for one of its biggest tests of the early season, taking on an undefeated Iowa team in a top-20 matchup at Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes are coming off one of the most dramatic wins in college football this season, beating Michigan 20-19 on a last-second touchdown […]
Riley Pettijohn is Ohio State’s best linebacker, and it isn’t really a debate anymore
I’ve been banging this drum since the spring, and two weeks ago I wrote that Ohio State has young talent and it’s time to let them play, with Riley Pettijohn at the top of that list. Four games into the season, and I’m ready to go a step further. Pettijohn isn’t just a young player […]
The Iowa game is more than just a must-win for Ohio State
There is a difference between believing that a football team can improve over the course of a season and actually seeing it. I spent a lot of time last week arguing that the Buckeyes don’t need to be perfect in September; they just need to be better by November. I still believe that. In fact, […]
You’re Nuts: What is the most memorable performance for an Ohio State wide receiver?
On Saturday against Illinois, Jeremiah Smith had his best performance as a Buckeye, hauling in 12 passes for 217 yards and four touchdowns. The junior opened up the game with 123 receiving yards in the first quarter, which is the most by a Big Ten player in the last 20 years. By finding the end […]
Column: It’s time for Ohio State to admit its mistakes in the transfer portal
Ohio State’s 2024 transfer portal class was as good as it could possibly get. The Buckeyes brought in eight total guys, and five of them — Caleb Downs, Will Howard, Quinshon Judkins, Will Kacmarek and Seth McLaughlin — were high-impact players on a National Championship roster. A sixth was Julian Sayin, who is now in […]
I’m still wondering just how big the cracks in Ohio State’s defensive foundation are
After losing seven key defensive players to the NFL Draft after the 2025 season — three of whom went in the top 11 — it’s understandable if there’s some rebuilding to be done on defense. Now that we’re a third of the way through the season, however, it remains to be seen whether the defensive […]
The future is now: Ohio State’s real WR2 is a true freshman
Jeremiah Smith can’t put up 217 yards and four touchdowns every week, and Ohio State shouldn’t need him to. Through four games, the junior has 33 catches for 617 yards and seven touchdowns. The four receivers competing to be his running mate, seniors Devin McCuin and Brandon Inniss and true freshmen Chris Henry Jr. and […]

4 games into the season, what are your expectations for the Buckeyes?
Throughout the year, we will be asking and answering questions about various Ohio State teams, the players, and anything else on our collective minds of varying degrees of importance.

Julian Sayin vs. Illinois’ secondary decided the game
Jeremiah Smith is going to dominate the conversation after this one, and he deserves every bit of it. 12 catches, 217 yards and four touchdowns is the kind of stat line that gets a receiver invited to New York in December. For me, the matchup that decided Ohio State’s 42-19 win over Illinois was Julian […]
Grumpy Old Buckeye: Nitpicking Ohio State’s 42-19 win over Illinois
Ohio State opened the conference slate on Saturday at home against Illinois. The Illibuck Trophy remains in Columbus after the Buckeyes took care of the Fighting Illini in a 42-19 win that felt a lot closer for most of the afternoon as Illinois won the third quarter. A 23-point win seems comfortable, and in many […]
