The Grumpy Old Buckeye: Ohio State vs. Sparty
This week we’re grumping about Ohio State against the Spartans. If you’re not familiar with this column, it’s where I gripe about the stuff that…
High-Octane Ohio State Offense Simply Too Much for Spartans’ Top Defense
COLUMBUS — Ohio State knew coming into Saturday night’s game against Michigan State that they would be facing the Big Ten’s second-best rush defense and…
Statistical Projection: Ohio State vs. Michigan State
Holy moly, Ohio State! Though my offensive statistical projections for the Buckeyes were pretty close last week, I wasn’t ready for the defense to continue crushing souls quite like they did. I hadn’t been impressed with the Huskers’ defense, so I figured that a Ryan Day offense would cut through it like butter. But the Silver Bullets truly turned heads last weekend.
Statistical Projection: Ohio State at Nebraska
So if you’ll recall from last week’s statistical recap, I thought that OSU would score a lot of points (56, to be exact). Ryan Day and company thought that was hilarious and tacked on an extra 20 for good measure. I predicted that Justin Fields would throw for 213 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs, and rush for another score. He had the audacity to toss in an extra ten yards passing and an additional…
Austin Mack Leaning On Wide Receiver Testimony In Senior Season
Austin Mack came into this season knowing that it would be his last opportunity to leave his mark as a Buckeye and also his last chance to show that he was ready for a professional career. For most players, this would be the time that they would want to post their best numbers. Mack, who has posted 50 total receptions the last two seasons…
Statistical Projection: Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Miami (OH) RedHawks
Not a lot of sense wasting time on last week’s statistical recap. I was accurate on a couple of predictions, but undervalued the offense and it showed in the overall yardage. When you rush for over seven yards per carry and better than 300 yards, overshooting the passing yardage is possible. I did just that. I hit on another Justin…
Statistical Projection: Ohio State Buckeyes at Indiana Hoosiers
I was close on some aspects of this game but like many people I thought it would be much closer than it was. Read: I thought Cincinnati might score some actual points. But, I’m not complaining. Justin Fields made me look smart last Saturday, which is a rare feat and one that I’m eternally grateful for. My prediction for him was 20 completions for 238 yards…
Statistical Projection: Ohio State vs. Florida Atlantic
The statistical projections are back, and there’s nothing worse than trying to pin down the first game numbers. The team is new. The QB is a transfer. The opponent is relatively unknown (read: not in the Big Ten). Their coach is equal parts hilarious and certifiable, so I have no idea if he’s about to roll out a competitive, innovative game plan that…
Statistical Projection: Ohio State Pass Catchers
The Buckeye football season is nearly upon us, so I’ve finally decided to come out from hiding to start throwing around my crazy statistical predictions.…
Fall Camp 2019 To Do List: WR Coach Brian Hartline
Fall camp got underway for the Buckeyes this past Friday and every single Ohio State position coach has a mental list of things that they need to get done. In fact, they may actually have a physical list as well. Speculating as to what might be on each assistant coach’s list is always a fun exercise, and there are no shortages of items that will need to be addressed.
100 Ohio State Matchups To Watch in 2019: 100-81

That is especially true if you think about the sheer number of individual matchups there are to watch this season. And that’s just the Ohio State games.
