Silver Bullets Podcast — Badger Beatdown and B1G Results
The Buckeyes, as it turned out, had little trouble handling the Wisconsin Badgers, although the visitors from the dairy state kept things close for a…
The Grumpy Old Buckeye: Ohio State vs. Wisconsin
The Buckeyes and Badgers met in what would have been a much bigger game if not for the Badgers stubbing their toes in Champaign last weekend. Wisconsin still presented the most difficult test to date for the Buckeyes and all Ohio State did was win by 31 points on a day with weather that made passing difficult. It’s been a difficult season to…
Statistical Projection: Ohio State vs. Wisconsin
And like that, the Buckeye victory train keeps on rolling. Even with their big brains, the Wildcats of Northwestern had no answers for Ohio State last Saturday Friday night. The Buckeyes scored more and gave up less than I projected, making me feel like a Negative Nelly for yet another week, despite picking them to win by nearly five touchdowns.

Silver Bullets Podcast — Nerds Stuffed in Locker; Wisconsin Preview
The Buckeyes went into Evanston and ran roughshod over the Wildcats by 49 points. Even when trying to run out the clock, backup running backs…
Statistical Projection: Ohio State at Northwestern
Back when I was younger and far less wise, I predicted that Justin Fields would throw the ball over 30 times in a single contest. It seemed like an astute projection, based on observation of the perceived weakness of the opponent’s defense. As it turns out, the Buckeyes could not have cared less how good Michigan State’s run defense was and proceeded…
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.
The Grumpy Old Buckeye: Ohio State vs. Nebraska
It’s time for some Nebraska talk. If you’re new here, this is my column where I find things to complain about, even when there isn’t…
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…
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…
The Grumpy Old Buckeye: Ohio State at Indiana
By now you should know that the Grumpy Old Buckeye column aims to be the voice of negativity, even when things are generally pretty great. 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 discussing Ohio State’s first road game and first conference…
