Hustle and Hit: Let’s Watch Some Ohio State Linebacker Highlights
Ohio State linebackers coach Al Washington posted a video on Twitter this morning of great Buckeye linebackers of the past, with the gist being that his players are going to honor that tradition.

Ohio State Football Notebook: ‘It’s a little bit more speed’
The Buckeyes return 127 of their 271 receptions from last season, and while that might sound like a lot, 79 of those returning catches belong to Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson.

Having Outgrown Linebacker, Cade Stover Ready for Life at Defensive End
Sitting at a table among a long line of Ohio State coaches in the days leading up to the Fiesta Bowl, OSU linebackers coach Al Washington was finishing up some question-and-answering with one reporter when he was asked, “Hey Al, why weren’t you able to hold on to Cade Stover?” “That’s a good question,” Washington said laughing. “Mother Nature, I suppose?”
Buckeye Football Notebook: ‘I’d be surprised if any of that stuff happens’
Every year at a successful program, a head coach has to prepare himself to lose talented assistant coaches. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day didn’t anticipate losing Jeff Hafley after one year, but that’s the situation he finds himself in currently. With Hafley taking the Boston College job, the football program is in a bit of a flux as it deals with the situation. And when assistant…
