Congratulations Buckeye Nation! Our Men of the Scarlet and Gray are your 2018 Big Ten Champions! At the start of the season, most of the nation expected Ohio State to be standing victorious in Indy, and they did just that. Sure, there were things that were maddening this season: the inconsistent play from the…
In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr give their instant reactions from Ohio State’s 45-24 win over Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship Game. Does this performance put the Buckeyes in the playoffs, or will it be the Rose Bowl for the first time since 2009? Listener questions are as always part of the show.
The Ohio State Buckeyes successfully defended the Big Ten Championship with a 45-24 win over Northwestern. OSU jumped out to a 24-7 halftime lead and then held off a Northwestern rally before pulling away late in the game. Quarterback Dwayne Haskins threw for 499 yards and five touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Johnnie Dixon had 129 yards receiving and a touchdown, and sophomore defensive end Chase Young had three sacks and a forced fumble…
The No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes are set to face off with No. 21 Northwestern in the 2018 Big Ten Championship Game. OSU is favored by more than two touchdowns, and will likely need to win by even more than that to have a chance to sneak into the College Football Playoff field. The Buckeyes are coming off a 62-39 win over Michigan. We know that you know that already, but are guessing you’re okay with reading about it again. Northwestern went 0-3 in non-conference play, but finished 7-1 in the Big Ten…
Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald is just one win away from doing something that would have been unthinkable 25 years ago – leading the Wildcats to the Rose Bowl as both a player and a coach. The former NU all-American linebacker will need his team to knock off heavily-favored Ohio State on Saturday night to do it. The Wildcats have had a crazy season, losing all three of their non-conference games, including a shocking upset against Akron. But they finished 7-1 in Big Ten play, with the only loss coming by three points against Michigan…
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer had some interesting things to say during his final press conference before the 2018 Big Ten Championship Game. His No. 6 Buckeyes are still alive for the College Football Playoff, and would be guaranteed no worse than a Rose Bowl berth with a win over No. 21 Northwestern. However, the answer that might draw the most attention was a simple “no comment on that” to a report that he does not plan to coach beyond the end of the 2019 season…
The Big Ten Championship is Ohio State’s main goal every season. As long as the Buckeyes win the conference championship, they believe other positive things will then be made available to them, such as the College Football Playoffs. The playoffs may or may not happen this year, but it’s definitely still a possibility.
In this episode of the Buckeye SloopCast, Jared and Kyle preview Saturday night’s Big Ten Championship Game between Ohio State and Northwestern. They also look at the rest of the matchups this weekend that will impact the Buckeyes. Conversation then turns to the College Football Playoffs and what the Buckeyes…
The 8-4 Northwestern Wildcats are The B1G’s West Division champion, just as everyone anticipated back in the summer. Now that the snickering has subsided, a closer look reveals a team that lacks a great deal of sizzle, but compensates for their lack of flash by playing fundamentally strong defense that limits big plays down the field.
