COLUMBUS — Ohio State head coach Ryan Day will meet with reporters today at noon to look back at the game against Cincinnati and look ahead to Saturday’s matchup with the Indiana Hoosiers. We will have live updates here throughout his media sessions, so refresh for updates once the festivities get underway right around 12:00 pm.
For the second week in a row, Ohio State junior defensive end Chase Young has been named the Buckeyes’ defensive player of the game following a stellar performance in the opposing backfield. Just like last week against Florida Atlantic, Young tallied 1.5 sacks in Saturday’s 42-0 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats. Joining Young on the Players of the Game…
Chase Young had a great game on Saturday. Ohio State’s All-American junior defensive end totaled three tackles with 1.5 sacks. He also blocked a field goal to help preserve the Buckeyes’ shutout. He did everything you could ask a defensive end to do and he should be happy with that. Speaking with reporters after the game, Young was definitely in a good…
“Don’t expect to see Dwayne Haskins-like accuracy from Justin Fields this season because it’s just not realistic.” Those are my words, paraphrased, which I have used repeatedly to caution Ohio State fans from heaping unrealistic expectations on Justin Fields’ ability to fit footballs into tight windows like Dwayne Haskins could. Haskins, as I would tell people, is…
This was the game we were going to have notions confirmed, and after Ohio State’s 42-0 win over Cincinnati on Saturday, there was plenty of confirmations going on. Justin Fields looked as comfortable as a goat in a junk yard, and his receivers gave him more cushions than a bumper pool factory. The running game responded as well, providing…
Just as somebody probably predicted somewhere, the Ohio State Buckeyes put it to the Cincinnati Bearcats and came away with a 42-0 shutout win. Justin Fields was accurate, JK Dobbins was explosive, the receivers were open, the offensive line was suggestive, and the defensive line was not. The back seven continues…
There is good and bad in every game. Some games have more good than bad, and some games have more bad than good. And some games have a slow start and then a second quarter from the stars, while the opponent never actually has any good of their own. This feature is about acknowledging both the bad and good, or whichever stood out to us most.
It’s your Week 2 edition of Grumpy Old Buckeye and we’re talking about Ohio State vs. the University of Cincinnati. If you’re new to this column, welcome! The aim here is to be the voice of negativity, even when things are generally pretty great. I point out the things from each game that make me want to walk out onto my lawn in my bathrobe and yell at people about it.
COLUMBUS — One of junior running back J.K. Dobbins’ goals this season was to get back to his freshman form. Last season Dobbins averaged 4.6 yards per carry, which was well under his 7.2 yards per carry as a true freshman. In the season opener last weekend, Dobbins averaged just 4.3 yards per rush and totaled 91 yards and a touchdown on 21 attempts.
In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr give their immediate thoughts following Ohio State’s impressive 42-0 win over Cincinnati. This was the most complete Buckeye victory since when? Is JK Dobbins back? Is Justin Fields better than we thought? Is there anything this defense can’t do? It was a complete team victory by…
