Ohio State women’s basketball forward Ella Hobbs missed her first year of college basketball due to an ACL injury.

No, it was none of those situations expected of a 6-foot-4 forward. “In high school, […]

Coming into the season, this weekend’s matchup was circled as one of the marquee showdowns on the college football calendar.

From the coaching staff to […]
Five things to know about Penn State
The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0, 4-0) are back in Columbus this week after a bye week last week to take on the reeling Penn State Nittany Lions (3-4, 0-4). A game that some people thought could be a top-three matchup, Penn State has had a disastrous season that has seen its head coach […]
Locked Down: How Ohio State’s cornerbacks and the youth movement have turned the secondary into a strength
Ohio State’s defensive identity this season starts at the edges of the defense. The Buckeyes’ corner room has quietly become one of the deepest, most reliable units in the country.

By the Numbers: Key facts and figures to know ahead of Ohio State vs. Penn State
The buildup this week to No. 1 Ohio State playing Penn State is not what it has been in previous seasons, for obvious reasons.

What I’m thinking about heading into Penn State week
I have been a long-time James Franklin skeptic in that, while he was Penn State’s head coach, no matter how good the Nittany Lions were in any given year, I could go into Ohio State’s matchup with them with a certain level of confidence. I guess by that metric, a more accurate label for myself […]
