Quarterback Tate Martell sat down at a table this past February surrounded by a least a dozen media members. It was signing day for Ohio State and the freshmen who had enrolled in the winter spent some time talking to reporters. One of the common topics of conversation for Martell was why he would sign…
There isn’t much that Urban Meyer has yet to accomplish as the head coach of the Ohio State football program. The trophy case contains a Big Ten Championship and a National Championship. It technically even contains five Division Championship trophies. Meyer is 61-6 as the head coach at Ohio State.
When you look at Ohio State’s 2017 recruiting class, Pete Werner might be a forgotten guy. He wasn’t one of the Buckeyes’ 10 early enrollees, and the fact that he comes from Indiana may cause some to overlook him. Don’t let the home state fool you, however, because Werner was one of the top high school linebackers…
The Ohio State Buckeyes are the most-talented team in the Big Ten, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t question marks. No team is perfect. In fact, it’s overcoming their flaws that makes great teams unforgettable. Did the 2002 Buckeye offense have any business winning a national title? No. Did the 2014 defense…
Baron Browning has yet to play his first snap of Ohio State football, but that hasn’t stopped the expectations. Or the stories. The top outside linebacker in the 2017 recruiting class, Browning had his choice of schools. Ultimately, he selected Ohio State, even if he told Urban Meyer he was headed to Alabama.
During Ohio State’s three 1-day camps for high schoolers, Urban Meyer spoke to the players about having ownership of their teams and actions. There is also a need to have ownership of your name, and what it can become. Ohio State’s Twitter account released a pretty amazing video package about this topic that you will want to check out.
Back in February, I gave you five (or so) predictions for Ohio State’s 2017 early enrollees, so I thought it would be a good idea to do the same for the rest of the freshmen now that they are all on campus. I’m going to use the same topics that I did in February. I could say it was for clarity’s sake, but in reality it’s…
There isn’t a positional group on the Ohio State roster where there is so much controversy without being any…y’know controversy over the starter. It really isn’t uncommon for the starting quarterback to take a lot of heat, whether you are at Ohio State or Idaho State. In this case, the heat gets scorching when the last time…
As we continue our positional breakdowns of players who could step into prominent roles this season, it is now time to take a look at the Ohio State running game. With last year’s leading rusher Mike Weber returning, the Buckeyes will look to replace the production left from the 700+ yards Curtis Samuel contributed.
“I feel like that’s a future first rounder, top-10 pick in my eyes,” he said of Barrow. “Once he starts believing that on a consistent basis, nobody can block him. That’s a strong statement. That’s a strong statement. I’m dead serious. When he is a first round pick, you all come call me because I said it first.”
Ohio State announced on Thursday that Ohio State cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs has been promoted to the additional title of Assistant Coordinator, Defense. Coombs will continue to oversee his cornerbacks. The promotion is the fulfillment of Urban Meyer’s promise from months ago that Coombs…
To look at Sam Hubbard’s numbers, you might not come away as impressed as you should be. Last year, he tied for third on the team with 3.5 sacks and finished fourth on the team with 8.5 tackles for loss. Those aren’t exactly staggering numbers for a guy who is supposed to spend his time in the backfield. But when…
Last night I was able to sit down and discuss the Ohio State Buckeyes with MarkRogersTV. For those not familiar with Mark, his channel is a gold mine for information about teams all-across the nation. As part of an on-going series with Mark, I took a look at the Ohio State offensive line for the 2017 season.
As the Scottish poet Robert Burns and the American author John Steinbeck might tell Coach Meyer, the best laid plans often result in something completely different and unpredicted. Urban Meyer has made no secret of wanting true freshmen to contribute on the field, but the realities of the Ohio State depth chart has…
From the outside, there doesn’t appear to be too many snaps available for Ohio State freshman running back J.K. Dobbins. After all, this is an OSU offense that hasn’t had carries for a backup running back since 2014, and that was only because the Buckeyes didn’t quite know what they had in Ezekiel Elliott.
Urban Meyer is one of the premier figures in college football. As such, assistant coaches around the country would do just about anything to be part of his program. When there is an opening on his staff, the résumés come rushing in like bingo balls. To expedite matters, Meyer keeps a running list of potential assistant coaches going…
