There is certainly some irony in the fact that the nastiest guy on Ohio State’s offensive line was also the first to break down in tears after the Buckeyes’ win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game this past Saturday. Sure, everyone on the Buckeye offensive line was happy, and they have all climbed their own personal mountains to get where they’ve gotten…
One question that is always asked of coaches as bowl games are announced is how much of their upcoming opponent have they watched. It’s a way to get an off-the-cuff answer, but more importantly it shows whether or not that team has been on the coach’s radar. For Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, thanks to some early kickoffs on FOX, he’s seen…
Far more talented than any other team in the ACC or on their non-conference schedule, Dabo Swinney’s team won every game from October on by at least 30 points.
With a 10-yard reception in the third quarter of Ohio State’s 34-21 win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game, fifth-year senior receiver KJ Hill set the all-time receptions mark at OSU with 192 career catches.

Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields will be heading for New York in a couple of days as a Heisman finalist, which should give you an idea of how well the Buckeyes’ starter has played this year. Of course, another indicator would simply be statistics. Fields has thrown for 2,953 yards and rushed…

LSU fifth-year senior quarterback Joe Burrow, Ohio State sophomore quarterback Justin Fields, Oklahoma senior quarterback Jalen Hurts, and junior Buckeye defensive end Chase Young have been announced as the four Heisman finalists this year.
