Demario McCall ‘Can be a matchup nightmare’
Ohio State running back Demario McCall is not a patient person by nature. And if you think about his game, that makes sense.
WATCH: Ohio State Running Backs On Spring Football
This is a big spring for the Ohio State running back room. J.K. Dobbins is looking to rebound, and Demario McCall and Master Teague are pushing for carries.
Morning Constitutional: What to Expect from Demario McCall This Spring?
Wednesday was the official opening of spring camp for the Buckeyes. Reporters were allowed in for the first hour and then after practice we spoke with head coach Ryan Day, receiver KJ Hill, defensive end Jonathon Cooper, and running back JK Dobbins. The first part of practice was stretching and I found it interesting that…
Six Buckeyes Primed for a Spring Breakout on Offense
In college football, players must emerge every spring in order to replace departed teammates. For Ohio State, this generally works out, thanks to tireless recruiting, but it’s not foolproof. There have certainly been times when the Buckeyes have left the spring with coaches still wondering who who was going to fill out their…
How Will Ohio State Replace… Parris Campbell
It is never easy to replace a player who can go from one goal line to the other arguably faster than anybody else in the nation. It is also never easy to replace a player who caught 90 passes the year before. In losing Parris Campbell, the Buckeyes will have to replace both. Campbell caught 90 passes for 1,063 yards and…
With Trust Earned, Demario McCall Expecting More in 2019
They say the waiting is the hardest part, but as Ohio State’s Demario McCall found out this past season, fighting your way into a loaded lineup is even harder. As an H-back with a tailback upbringing, McCall found himself behind JK Dobbins and Mike Weber at running back and Parris Campbell and KJ Hill at H-back.
Morning Constitutional: What Does KJ Hill’s Return Mean for the H-Backs?
In a bit of a surprise move on Tuesday, Ohio State fourth-year junior H-back KJ Hill announced that he is returning for his fifth-and-final season with the Buckeyes. Many times, players are graduated and simply ready to move on by the time a fifth season rolls around. Hill, however, is following the path that was also chosen…
Ohio State’s Five Most Important Plays of 2018
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…
Five for Friday: Buckeyes Who Will Benefit Most From Bowl Practices
The main reason college football coaches want to go to bowl games is because it gives them extra practice time and acts essentially as a pre-spring training camp for the following season. Sure, they also like that it rewards the players, but the real benefit comes from the 15 or so practices over the month of December.
The Grumpy Old Buckeye: Ohio State vs. TTUN
It’s the regular season finale of the Grumpy Old Buckeye, the column that aims to be the voice of negativity, even when things are going great (and let’s face it, most everything was pretty great yesterday). 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.
Statistical Projection: Ohio State vs Michigan
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…
