Ryan Day is saying the quiet part out loud, and Ohio State is better for it
For most of his tenure as Ohio State’s head coach, Ryan Day has approached press conferences with the cautious precision of someone who knows that every word he says will be scrutinized, dissected, and potentially used against him in the court of Buckeye fandom. He has become exceptionally skilled at answering questions without necessarily revealing […]

Change to this weekend’s guest list impacts five-star defensive line target With Maryland coming to Columbus this weekend, Ohio State has another opportunity to build on last Saturday’s impressive road win over Iowa before heading back out for two more important October matchups. The Buckeyes have a challenging stretch ahead of them, but as Ryan […]
What to watch for as Ohio State hosts Maryland
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 […]

5 observations and musings from Ohio State’s 79-68 loss to Cincinnati in the CareSource Invitational
Sunny, 79 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, and a slight breeze coming out of the southwest. Perfect weather for…. basketball?

Beyond the Box Score: Ryan Day is who every head coach should be, plus other elements that stand out from Ohio State’s win at Iowa
Ryan Day is the ultimate class act. He is the exact leader any college football program should want in their head coach. The way he carries himself, especially as the head coach of THE Ohio State Buckeyes, is extremely admirable. CBS sideline reporter Jenny Dell detailed the letter Day wrote to the children at Children’s […]
Simeon Caldwell is quietly becoming a big part of Ohio State’s defense
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 […]
Ryan Day gets candid about special teams failures; why Wilder, Bey aren’t playing

You’re Nuts: Which Buckeye has been the most pleasant surprise this season?
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 […]
After watching NCAA Tournament from bench, Josh Ojianwuna is ready to “give his all” for Buckeyes this season
Ohio State’s 66-64 loss to TCU in the NCAA Tournament last season was tough to swallow for everyone involved — players, coaches, and fans alike. The Buckeyes gave up a 13-2 run in the final five minutes of the first half, falling behind by a bundle of points (15, to be exact) by the halftime […]

Aside from J.J. and Julian, who are you most confident in on the Ohio State offense?
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. Well, the Buckeyes survived the Kinnick Stadium test this past Saturday, and on Saturday, Oct. 17, they will face an even bigger test at Memorial Stadium. But before […]
Ohio State preparing for another busy recruiting weekend
Ohio State is now 4-1 following an impressive victory against Iowa. Ryan Day and the Buckeyes walked out of Kinnick Stadium with a 31-14 win thanks in large part to Jeremiah Smith having another elite showing. Smith showed once again he was the best player in college football with another 200-yard, multi-touchdown game. The Buckeyes […]
You’re Nuts: What was the most important thing we learned from the Iowa game?
Ohio State’s 31-14 win over Iowa was not the kind of performance that radically changes how we view the Buckeyes, but it might have clarified a few things. Playing in one of the more difficult road environments in the Big Ten, Ohio State controlled the game for most of the afternoon, outgained the Hawkeyes 484-238, […]
Grumpy Old Buckeye: Nitpicking Ohio State’s 31-14 win over Iowa
In the classic battle of eyes (both Buck and Hawk), it was the Buckeyes of Ohio State that came away with the victory Saturday in Big Ten play. It may not be the most difficult game on the schedule in 2026 (then again, it may be), but in the end, a 31-14 win in Iowa […]
Get to know Ohio State guard Curtis Givens: Knockdown shooter and aspiring optometrist
After getting very little from his bench last season, Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler was on a mission this spring to add plenty of depth to the 2026-27 roster. The Buckeyes’ first-round loss to TCU in the NCAA Tournament embodied a yearlong issue — the Buckeyes had the talent and firepower to hang around […]
By the Numbers: Key numbers that stand out from Ohio State’s 31-14 win over Iowa
Jeremiah Smith isn’t just great; he’s once in a generation. Enjoy it. Ohio State rode No. 4 and Julian Sayin to a dominant 31-14 win at Iowa, a game that showed the Buckeyes’ mettle and national championship potential. Here are some key numbers from the victory. 207/3,381/36 Jeremiah Smith is now Ohio State’s all-time leader […]

Off-Script Ohio: Iowa recap, defensive turnaround and what comes next
Ohio State took care of business against Iowa on Saturday, winning 31-14 and getting back on track in a big way after a concerning defensive performance against Illinois. Cole got the exact score right, so naturally we had to talk about that first. The Buckeyes jumped out to an early 7-0 lead after Kenyatta Jackson […]
Ohio State’s offensive performance against Iowa was historic, and not just for Jeremiah Smith
The Buckeyes likely won’t get the credit they deserve for beating up on a No. 14 Iowa team on the road. Ohio State as a blue blood program is expected to easily win games over the Hawkeyes, even despite the top-15 ranking next to their name. That has largely been the case throughout history, as […]
Ohio State’s win over Iowa finally showed us what progress looks like
Now look, I am not going to suddenly pretend that I think Iowa is a great football team simply because Ohio State beat the Hawkeyes by 17 points on Saturday. I have an enormous amount of respect for Kirk Ferentz, Phil Parker, and virtually everything about the Iowa program, but I didn’t believe that this […]
