Beyond the Box Score: Let’s talk about the human element
First of all, I’m chalking up Ohio State’s loss to Texas Saturday as inexcusable. It never should have happened. Forget that the Buckeyes conceded 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to wipe out a 20-3 lead; Ohio State had two chances to recover a fumble that could have effectively ended the game. Those two […]
Ohio State has young talent. It’s time to let them play
Ohio State’s 24-23 loss to Texas exposed plenty of problems. The Buckeyes blew a 20-point lead, struggled to generate pressure on Arch Manning late and watched a defense that had dominated for three quarters unravel when the game was on the line. The loss also made something else increasingly difficult to ignore. There is a […]

The Texas loss could give Ohio State the chip on its shoulder Ryan Day’s teams seem to need
There is no universe in which blowing a 23-3 fourth-quarter lead is a good thing.

You’re Nuts: What was most promising for Ohio State in loss to Texas?
The first half of Ohio State’s game with Texas on Saturday night was a fun watch. Then the second half happened, and the Buckeyes apparently decided to do the opposite of everything that was working in the first half. With a few days to digest Ohio State blowing a 23-3 lead, we are well aware […]

By the Numbers: Key numbers that stand out from Ohio State’s 24-23 loss at Texas
Saturday night was not a great night for the Buckeyes, at least in the fourth quarter. Anytime there’s a comeback like that, it’s easy to focus on how big the comeback was and be upset that the Buckeyes blew a 20-point lead. I saw a lot of Buckeyes fans on social media upset at Ryan […]

Ohio State has to wake up from this big-game ‘Groundhog Day’
In life, I think that it is exceedingly healthy to turn every stumble, every setback, every failure into an opportunity to learn and grow. After all, once it’s over, those negatives are in the past, and there’s nothing you can do about them. But at some point, if the same stumbles, setbacks, and failures keep […]

The Longhorns proceeded to score touchdowns on three straight […]
The pressure is on Texas tonight; Ryan Day should go all-in
I am a poker player… not an especially good one, but someone who enjoys the ritual of sitting down at an upholstered table with seven to nine people I’ve never met before in an overly air-conditioned poker room for the mental and emotional torture of playing cards for three to 10 hours straight. There are […]
