What to like about Ohio State’s win over Maryland
Ohio State didn’t play anywhere near their potential in Saturday’s 45-16 win over Maryland. Even though there was a lot that ruffled the feathers of Buckeye Nation, there also was some positives to come from the victory over the Terrapins. While the mistakes will obviously be scrutinized by Ryan Day and his coaching staff this […]
All the news, analysis from Ohio State’s 45-16 win over Maryland
Look, we get it. Your days are busy, and you don’t have time to read all of the stories and tweets from the three dozen websites dedicated to covering Ohio State athletics, or the 237 Buckeye beat writers churning out hot takes and #content on a daily basis. But that’s ok; that’s what your friends […]
Revisit Ohio State’s best plays in their 45-16 win over Maryland
You wouldn’t know it to look at the commanding 45-16 final score, but Ohio State’s homecoming win over Maryland was sloppy at best. While many of the reps went to guys a little deeper in the depth chart than usual as Ryan Day tried to rest starters where he could ahead of Indiana next week, […]
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Ohio State’s 45-16 win vs. Maryland
Ohio State took a bit to get going on Saturday, but eventually ran away — quite literally — with a 45-16 win over Maryland in Week 6. The Buckeyes’ ground game was the star of the show, as Bo Jackson and Ja’Kobi Jackson led the way with a 200-yard rushing performance. Jeremiah Smith still managed […]
Ohio State’s sloppy 45-16 win over Maryland might be exactly what they needed before Indiana
Before the game on Saturday, I wrote about my desires for the Buckeyes to open things up against an overmatched Maryland Terrapin team. Head coach Ryan Day did accommodate my requests by sitting every starter with anything worse than a hangnail and therefore allowing Buckeyes normally deeper down the depth chart to get meaningful reps […]
Ohio State vs. Maryland game chat: Live updates from Week 6
The No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes will wrap up the first half of their regular season this afternoon when the Maryland Terrapins come to Columbus.

Before the nerves of next week, Ohio State should get a little weird against Maryland
I admit that this article might make me a bit of a hypocrite, but I’m willing to accept that in order to advocate for the kicks and giggles. Before the season started, I wrote about how I was excited to be nervous watching Ohio State football games this fall. I wanted games that required emotional […]
Shirt of the Week: ‘Jeremiah Smith: Triple Crown’
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 […]

OHIO STATE GAMEDAY: It’s a bad day to be a Maryland Terrapin
Wake up, everyone. It’s Ohio State game day! The Buckeyes will host the Maryland Terrapins in their only home game during the month of October.

Streaming expert on the best ways to watch No. 5 Ohio State vs. Maryland for free
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 […]
Jeremiah Smith has run out of Ohio State records to break; the Big Ten record book is next
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 […]

You’re Nuts: Who will win Big Ten Player of the Year?
Welcome back to another thrilling edition of “You’re Nuts”, where our basketball writers pick and debate a college basketball topic to the death, or until Legend Bey gets another carry, whichever comes first. The Ohio State men’s basketball team played this week, and although the game didn’t count towards anyone’s stats or record, that didn’t […]
I’m still thinking about how successful Ohio State’s offense was against Iowa
Heading into Saturday’s game against the Buckeyes, some of the Hawkeyes’ statistics were a bit misleading. Their rush attack, for example, was averaging more than 215 yards per game through the first four weeks of the season. Don’t let the numbers deceive you, though: These stats were lopsided, bolstered by impressive numbers against teams like […]
Off the Cuff: Don’t let off the gas pedal
We’re entering the dog days of Big Ten season. Not every matchup will be a marquee one, even though it’s a Big Ten contest. That’s what this weekend’s game against Maryland is. Ohio State played Illinois on Big Noon Kickoff and Iowa on CBS’s Big Time in their first two Big Ten games. Those are […]

Ohio State is keeping a 2028 in-state DL on its priority list early
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 […]
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 […]
