Not that there are necessarily routine injuries, but there are routines for dealing with injuries. Medical professionals have seen it all and been trained for everything, but for the person who is injured, it becomes a very singular situation. When Ohio State running back Master Teague suffered an Achilles injury early last month and was lost for the rest of spring camp, the…
Every year following Ohio State spring football we recap what happened position by position. Who stepped up, who stepped back, what got fixed, and what didn’t? With 12 of the 15 spring practices cancelled due to the pandemic, however, essentially nothing happened, nothing got fixed, nobody stepped up, and no questions got answered.
In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss a recent Twitter poll asking Ohio State fans if they would accept a loss to Michigan this year if it meant the college football season would begin on time and unencumbered. They then discuss Friday’s conference call with Ohio State football’s director of recruiting Mark Pantoni.

The show then turns to what may or may not be (but totally is) a talent gap between Ohio State and Michigan.

They were able to get three practices in before everyone took off for spring break. Soon after, everything changed and eventually all university athletic activities were essentially…
