Ohio State Football Notebook: ‘I’m ready to go get into a dogfight’
The Buckeyes walked off the field at Penn State last year more stunned than dejected. The shock would eventually wear off and the emotions would seep in. Ohio State was able to overcome that loss and make the playoffs. They probably won’t have that same opportunity this year. If they lose, the division is lost, and so are their playoff hopes.

The Rarest of Rarities Will Lead Ohio State in 2017

And if they aren’t any good, do you really want them hanging around for all five years? Despite the low tolerance for redshirting, it happens every single…
Ohio State Football Notebook: ‘He’s as phenomenal a kid, a leader, a person as I’ve ever seen’
There were plenty of stories written this spring about Chris Worley’s transition from outside linebacker to middle linebacker for Ohio State.

Ohio State Football Notebook: ‘You don’t survive here very long if you’re hanging around the Blue’
Mike Weber had a very good season last year, rushing for 1,096 yards for the Buckeyes as a redshirt freshman. You’d take that every year from a redshirt freshman. The problem for Weber, however, was that he left a lot of yards on the field, not to mention his 1,096 yards were coming on the heels of consecutive…
Ohio State Media Day Notebook: Seniors Galore
Ohio State brought three redshirt seniors with them to Chicago on Monday for Big Ten Media Days.
