Latest news and updates about the Ohio State
With some of the top teams off (Alabama, Texas A&M, Oregon) and others playing conference doormats (Penn State-Ohio State, Indiana-Maryland) as per usual, the SEC took center stage. It was much better entertainment than watching the Dodgers’ “bought” World Series win. One shlock-fest in particular caught some eyes for the car crash that it was: […]

I wrote a couple weeks ago about the countdown to Kaytron Allen trying to become the Penn State career rushing leader, and given the relative meh-ness of this season, I think I’m going to keep tabs on it on a weekly basis, or at least until something more fun happens.

While fan expectations were not high for Penn State’s once-marquee matchup with Ohio State, the Nittany Lions still got their money’s worth in the first half. Nicholas Singleton rounded into form, and Ethan Grunkemeyer helped orchestrate one of the team’s best drives of the season. Suddenly, Penn State was within one score. Still, plenty of […]

1) Good first half Penn State didn’t roll over, staying with the Buckeyes blow for blow. It looked like it was going to get out of hand early, but Penn State took advantage of a rare Ohio State turnover to turn what could have been a 24-7 hole into a 17-14 halftime score. 2) Bad […]

I’m going to be honest with you, the first seven weeks of the Ohio State football season went even better than I could have anticipated (and I predicted them to go 16-0 and repeat as national champions). But with two off weeks worked into the season, it allows Ryan Day and his staff to be […]
