Latest news and updates about the Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Maryland football’s road trip to No. 5 Ohio State was billed as a wide receiver showdown, with two of the nation’s top pass-catchers taking the field in Columbus.

I am running out of ways to describe the heretofore unseen dominance of Jeremiah Smith. The junior wide receiver hasn’t even played two and a half seasons of college football, and yet he already sits atop the three major Ohio State career receiving categories. He could also legitimately break two major Big Ten marks this […]
Being the Buckeye beat’s black sheep blog, we here at Land-Grant Holy Land like to pat ourselves on the back. So, throughout the season, members of our staff will be making predictions about that day’s game. They will go on the record with what they think the final score will be, who the game’s MVP […]
If you are the type of cord-cutter and TV viewer who cancels your streaming subscriptions after the football season is over and waits to sign back up until games are back on the air, a lot can change in between seasons. It can be incredibly confusing to find the best way to watch a game […]
Happy Friday Hawkeye fans and welcome to the weekend! It’s a short turnaround for the Hawkeyes as they look to bounce back from last week’s 31-14 loss at the hands of #5 Ohio State. Iowa not only lost the game, but they lost their starting QB in that one as Hank Brown exited early with […]
It took Jeremiah Smith less than three full seasons to rewrite Ohio State’s receiving record book. He passed Michael Jenkins for the program’s career receiving yards record against Kent State. Two weeks later at Iowa, he broke the career marks for receptions and receiving touchdowns on the same afternoon. Through 34 games, he has 207 […]
Where do college football's elite teams stand more than one month into the season?
Ryan Day could celebrate Ohio State’s offense all he wanted, but the defense was becoming a problem he could no longer ignore. Illinois had just shredded the Buckeyes for 462 total yards, including 199 on the ground, exposing cracks that the first three games had managed to hide. And after Ohio State’s fourth-quarter collapse against […] The post Ryan Day Gives Positive Defensive Update After Its Biggest Weakness Became Public appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The 2027 class will quickly be wrapped up, and while Ohio State loves the haul they have thus far, there’s still work to be done before it’s 100-percent complete. Only a few spots up for grabs, the coaching staff has their big boards narrowed down. The 2028 class is another story. Soon to take center […]
Ohio State football wide receiver Jeremiah Smith sparked “GOAT” debates the last three seasons. Smith is a trending Heisman Trophy finalist now that he’s scored nine touchdowns so far.

It's right back to work on the road for the Huskies, with challenging road matches at Ohio State and Penn State in the third week of Big Ten play. Washington (12-1, 3-1 Big Ten) is up to No. 20 in the rankings after its biggest win of the season on Sunday, but UW will be looking for its first ever wins in Columbus and Happy Valley.
On paper, this one shouldn’t be close. Ohio State is a 34.5-point favorite, the Buckeyes have never lost to Maryland, and the Terrapins arrive in Columbus at 2-3 and 0-2 in Big Ten play after back-to-back blowout losses. Maryland lost 54-3 at home to UCLA, then 48-23 at Nebraska, and Mike Locksley has now lost […]
Red Sox-Yankees? Lakers-Celtics? Ohio State-Michigan? How about Dillon Brooks vs. Benny the Bull as the best rivalry in sports.
Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith is possibly the best player in the nation. He has consistently performed on the biggest stages, even with teams doubling and tripling the receiver. His play has made it so Smith is the clear favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.

The freshmen getting most of the attention at Ohio State this season have been Chris Henry Jr., Brock Boyd, Jay Timmons, and Khary Wilder. That makes sense. Two of them are dynamic receivers, Wilder is a pass rush monster, and Timmons is already one of the best players on the defense. But there’s another first-year […]
Khary Wilder came to Columbus with major expectations after finishing his high school career with 267 tackles and 29 sacks. But Day’s message is clear: reputation and talent only get a player so far. If a player does not meet the standards and responsibilities expected of him, he can quickly find himself out of the […] The post Ryan Day Lays Down Tough Rule for Ohio State’s Younger Players: “Nobody Just Gets on the Field” appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Week Five had several good games including obviously the most memorable one with the Gophers winning the Jug at home for the first since since 1977.

Ohio State enters this week’s game against Maryland with a 4-1 record. The only loss for the Buckeyes came by a point to Texas, who is currently the top-ranked team in the country. Most recently, Ohio State went on the road into a tough environment at Iowa and handled their business in the 31-14 win […]
Indiana is 5-0 and sitting at the top of the Big Ten picture. Ohio State follows with 4-1, with its only blemish coming in a game it appeared to have won before Texas stormed back in the fourth quarter.

To him, Curt […] The post Urban Meyer Calls for Ohio State’s Rival Big Ten Team to Be Penalized for Weak Schedule: “It Just Doesn’t Count” appeared first on EssentiallySports .
On Friday, we learned that Fox Sports was moving on from having Dave Portnoy on Big Noon Kickoff after a season and a half.
