Nothing cleanses the taste of defeat like the taste of victory. The Buckeyes spent a week with the sour taste of their loss to Oklahoma in their mouths. They got rid of it with a one-sided win over Army. The Buckeyes scored on their first two possessions to take a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and really never looked back.
It’s gameday, Buckeye fans. Army (2-0) comes to Ohio Stadium to take on the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes (1-1) for the first time ever. We’ve got the entire gameday covered, with pregame videos, postgame videos, and in-game coverage. It’s all here for you in one gigantic social stream. Check it out!
It is incredible to watch a program use the run to set up effective and manageable passes like Army does. A program that knows its identity, as well as its deficiencies, yet makes them work together to control the line of scrimmage and time of possession. With such contrasting styles of offense on display this weekend, there are…
Kevin Wilson has already detailed some of the problems with the Ohio State offense and some of the ways he intends to get it fixed. Those fixes might in terms of opening up the big plays, but the question remains whether or not the Buckeye receivers can capitalize on those openings. With two glaring drops by open receivers…
The Ohio State wide receivers have been criticized for the better part of two years now for their overall lack of production. The 2015 team had Michael Thomas to lean on, and last year there was Curtis Samuel, but there was never really a Robin to their respective Batman. The 2017 season has started with similar criticisms…
The Army Black Knights bring their triple-option rushing attack to Columbus on Saturday following a win last week over MAC opponent Buffalo. Running behind a veteran offensive line that has combined for 77 starts, the Black Knights have already rushed for 835 yards, averaging 7.4 yards per rushing attempt. Last season…
After we all nailed our week one picks, week two went… not as well. That seemed to be going around. I was the only person to predict a team’s score exactly, so I’ll declare myself the winner, but really there were no winners last weekend. Except for Oklahoma. This week figures to go better, both for the Buckeyes and all of us. Probably.
The Buckeyes look to get back on the winning side of things by taking on America this week. It is difficult for me to relate to losing, however, as I rarely experience failure. I began the season getting four of five predictions correct. Unfortunately, I do not have any way of going back in time to find out what my predictions were last…
Urban Meyer’s weekly show on the Ohio State IMG Radio Network takes place this Thursday around noon. We will have live updates once the show gets under way shortly. Expect Meyer to provide updates on injuries, such as quarterback Joe Burrow and running back Demario McCall. Meyer will also look forward to this week’s opponent, Army.
Ohio State has released their official depth chart for Saturday afternoon’s game against Army and there are only two changes, but they do involve the defensive ends. The changes? An AND/ has been added to the OR at defensive end, meaning that it now reads Tyquan Lewis and/or Nick Bosa, and Sam Hubbard and/or Jalyn Holmes.
