The Illibuck is pointless, ridiculous, and exactly why I love college football
For 101 years, smart kids from a university in Central Ohio and another in Central Illinois have exchanged a turtle; for one year, a live one, and for the subsequent hundred, a wooden one. Why? Honestly, who the hell knows? But despite changes in rivalries, hiatuses mandated by Big Ten scheduling, and a worldwide pandemic, […]
Big Ten play brings a weekend full of guests ready to see the Buckeyes in action
Back at home this weekend, Ohio State may be playing host to Illinois, but that’s not all. Another chance to bring in recruits for a gameday, the Buckeyes will have several big names on site Saturday and starting with some of their very own 2027 commitments. Led by the likes of Brady Edmunds and Jimmy […]
Jason Moore is becoming Ohio State’s defensive line surprise
There were not many reasons to expect Jason Moore to become a major part of Ohio State’s defensive line this season. The 6-foot-6, 316-pound senior had played sparingly throughout his first three years in Columbus, totaling just 60 defensive line and special teams snaps as a sophomore in 2024 and 46 snaps as a junior […]
Shirt of the Week: ‘Jeremiah Smith: Receiving Yards King’
Early in Ohio State’s 59-3 win over the Kent State Golden Flashes, Jeremiah Smith officially entered his name in the record books, passing Michael Jenkins as Ohio State’s all-time leader in reception yards. Forget the fact that he’s done it in just 2.25 seasons of college football, but he is also on pace to earn […]
Column: Ohio State’s largely under-qualified offensive staff is holding its players back
From the outside, Ohio State’s 59-3 win over Kent State was a completely dominant victory against an overmatched opponent. The Buckeyes put up 527 yards of offense, had a net success rate of more than 60% (no other team had more than 40% in Week 3) and got valuable reps for some of their younger […]
Beyond the Box Score: Can Ohio State still win in the margins?
Honestly, how much have we really learned about Ohio State in three games? Yes, we learned that Buckeyes fans were deeply frustrated with Ryan Day after Ohio State blew a 23-3 lead in the fourth quarter against Texas. Those fans are probably still frustrated, even after a dominant 59-3 win over Kent State that saw […]
Ohio State’s next 3 games provide perfect opportunity for veterans to prove experience still matters
For me, there have been two main takeaways from the last three College Football Playoff national champions. The first is that the Big Ten is unequivocally and indisputably the best conference in the sport, and no one, not even the media’s beloved SEC, is anywhere close. The second is that in college football’s current landscape, […]

Off-Script Ohio: Illinois preview, and the start of Big Ten play
Ohio State is finally ready to get into Big Ten play. After bouncing back from the Texas loss with a 59-3 demolition of Kent State, the Buckeyes welcome Illinois to Columbus on Saturday for the first conference game of the season. Cole and Joey preview the matchup, discuss what they want to see from Ohio […]
The 3 most noteworthy takeaways from Ryan Day’s Illinois press conference
Ryan Day’s Tuesday press conference ostensibly was supposed to be about Illinois. And, sure, the Ohio State head coach said plenty of nice things about Bret Bielema’s team, quarterback Katin Houser, and the challenges awaiting the Buckeyes in their Big Ten opener. But the most interesting parts of Day’s roughly 30-minute availability weren’t about the […]
You’re Nuts: What is the biggest concern for Ohio State heading into Big Ten play?
Ohio State closed out the non-conference portion of their regular season schedule with a 59-3 win over Kent State on Saturday. The Buckeyes now head into their first Big Ten game against Illinois with a 2-1 record, with their only loss coming to Texas in a game where they blew a 20-point fourth-quarter lead and […]
Ohio State men’s basketball player preview: Lee Aaliya
Even though it is football season, college basketball season is just around the corner, with Ohio State tipping off on Nov. 2 against BYU in Salt Lake City. There were a lot of roster changes for the Buckeyes heading into the 2026-27 season, and over the next couple of months, we will be dropping one […]
Could Anthony Thompson become one of Ohio State’s highest NBA Draft picks ever?
Ohio State has sent plenty of talent to the NBA, but very few Buckeyes have heard their names called near the top of the draft. Greg Oden went No. 1 overall in 2007, Evan Turner and D’Angelo Russell went No. 2, while Dennis Hopson and Larry Siegfried were both No. 3 picks. Mike Conley Jr., […]

Ohio State trending for 2027 Ohio RB
Ohio State is now 2-1 following a dominant 59-3 win over Kent State. While the game was never close, Ryan Day and the Ohio State coaching staff have plenty of things to still improve on with this team. Many of the headlines surround the Buckeyes will focus on how the team can continue to get […]
Grumpy Old Buckeye: Nitpicking Ohio State’s 59-3 win over Kent State
Ohio State bounced back from the collapse at Texas with a lopsided win over Kent State. While few doubted that would be the case, and it by no means is an indication that the Buckeyes have resolved any of the issues that led to the aforementioned implosion, all a team can do is play the […]
By the Numbers: Key numbers that stand out from Ohio State’s 59-3 win over Kent State
Ohio State handled its business Saturday against Kent State, beating the Golden Flashes, 59-3. Winning by eight touchdowns is impressive. That said, we may not have learned anything new or groundbreaking about the Buckeyes beyond what we already knew. It was a record-setting day for Jeremiah Smith, though, even though he didn’t find the end […]

After the latest Gus disaster, we need a service that syncs radio broadcasts with televised games
I know that there is a certain segment of the college football viewing community that loves Gus Johnson. His brand of over-the-top enthusiasm appeals to some fans, and I certainly don’t begrudge them their appreciation of Fox’s play-by-play announcer. Gus has also been kind enough to join us here at Land-Grant Holy Land in the […]
Off-Script Ohio: Buckeyes get exactly the response they needed against Kent State
There was no drama this time. Ohio State scored touchdowns on each of its first four drives, built a 35-0 halftime lead and cruised to a 59-3 victory over Kent State on Saturday. After blowing a 20-point fourth-quarter lead against Texas one week earlier, the biggest question wasn’t whether the Buckeyes would win. It was […]
All the news, analysis from Ohio State’s 59-3 win over Kent State
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 […]
Report Card: Buckeyes handle Kent State to end the non-conference schedule
The No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes (2-1) took down the Kent State Golden Flashes (1-2) 59-3 to end the non-conference schedule and move into the nine conference games. Here is how some of the players, game, and broadcast graded out. A+: Jeremiah Smith Smith is pretty much going to be on the report card every […]
Ohio State’s wide receivers vs. Kent State’s defensive backs decided the game
Kent State simply had no answer for the depth and explosiveness of Ohio State’s wide receiver room today. After last week’s loss to Texas exposed how dependent the Buckeyes were on Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State made a point of getting more receivers involved Saturday. The result was a 59-3 demolition of Kent State and one […]
Backups who shined in Ohio State’s 59-3 win over Kent State
One of the goals for Ryan Day on Saturday was to see his team build a big enough lead against Kent State that he could get his backups in the game earlier than normal. By halftime the Buckeyes were up 35-0 on the Golden Flashes, which allowed Day to sit quarterback Julian Sayin after one […]
