The No. 6 player on this list enters his third season in the starting rotation for the Buckeyes and has put up 11 touchdown catches over the last two years. Binjimen Victor is perpetual potential, constantly on the cusp of breaking out. Urban Meyer called him one of the most physically gifted receivers he’s ever recruited. So far in his three years, Victor…
It’s a common theme for college football fans to be told they are seeing things through “such and such” colored glasses. Sometimes, it is fans of a team that hasn’t been relevant in over 20 years thinking they are National Title contenders. Other times, it is a fan from {insert literally any southern team here} thinking they would be the best team in any other…
Our ongoing Big Ten conference positional ratings move now to the wide receivers and the tight ends of the East Division. There are only three returning receivers in the East that averaged more than four catches per game last season. The tops among them is Ohio State’s KJ Hill, who finished fifth in the B1G last season with 68 receptions and 865 yards.
The Buckeyes went about replacing outside receivers Terry McLaurin and Johnnie Dixon this spring, turning toward several players to give it a go. Austin Mack and Binjimen Victor returned and provided a veteran presence for a group that needs it. The group has also seen an injury to redshirt freshman Kamryn Babb and the transfers of…
COLUMBUS — The Buckeyes have lost three fifth-year senior receivers in Terry McLaurin, Johnnie Dixon, and Parris Campbell from last year’s team. As key cogs of Ohio State’s receiving group — better known as “Zone 6” — they set the standard for what OSU receivers should be. With all three off to the NFL, the younger members of…
2018 was a fantastic season, and one that came with plenty of excitement. The Buckeyes finished the regular season with just one loss and won a conference championship. Though the Purdue game still stings, it shouldn’t overshadow some other truly amazing moments. And, in order to make it as far as they have, preparing…
This season was not a mirage. Like the Michigan game, it was real and it was awesome. The Ohio State offense was the most impressive thing we have seen in school history. We knew it would be like this coming into the year. The Buckeyes had a very experienced wide receiver room, a dynamic 1-2 punch at running back, and…
It’s the B1G Championship Game edition of the Grumpy Old Buckeye, the column that represents the voice of negativity, even when things are going great. It’s where 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. This week we’re talking about a meeting…
Just like I had said in last week’s statistical projections… 52-51, OSU wins an overtime thriller! Alright, so that’s obviously a lie. I thought that OSU would come out and dominate Maryland from start to finish. As you saw, they did not do that. In fact, I found myself, several times, looking at the score and thinking, “Oh, wow, Maryland’s…
I normally start off each weekly post with a quick recap of the previous week. I’ll still give a brief list of where I was right and wrong with regards to my Purdue predictions. I will, however, opt out of the game summary. It may be Halloween, but I still don’t have the heart to scare you with a thorough recap of that mess.
The Buckeyes will be without the services of starting wide receiver Austin Mack for the foreseeable future following foot surgery on Monday. Mack was injured Saturday night during the Purdue game. The third-leading pass catcher on the team with 26 receptions, Mack has been Ohio State’s starting X receiver for the…
