The struggles of the Ohio State rushing attack this fall have been well-documented. So has the role that the Buckeyes’ offensive line has played in those tough performances. The OSU coaching staff has tried to downplay their concerns over the past month or so, pointing out that the increase use of run-pass option plays may…
Wins are great, but man is this year’s undefeated Ohio State team winning in ways that are making the Buckeye fan base want to rampage. With a 7-0 team after a 30-14 win over Minnesota, all the discussions seem to be about the poor running game, the broken defense, and the lack of any kind of ideas on the coaching staff’s part…
Welcome back to the Grumpy Old Buckeye, the column where no matter how good things are, I find some stuff to gripe about. Every week I point out the things from the 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 Ohio State vs. Minnesota…
The Ohio State defense will be without one, and possibly two starting defensive ends when it faces Minnesota on Saturday. Nick Bosa is definitely out following abdominal surgery, and Jonathon Cooper is questionable following a concussion. Could this be defensive tackle Robert Landers’ big chance to move outside and rush off the edge? “Oh no, that’s too much running. That’s way too much running for me. I’m good where I’m at,” Landers said Wednesday.
Urban Meyer is officially back in charge of the Ohio State football program this week. His Buckeyes are getting ready to face Tulane on Saturday. Monday, Meyer met with the media to discuss his suspension and thoughts on the Buckeyes’ big win over TCU. Tuesday evening, it was his players’ turn to discuss this week’s big changes. Players met with the media following practice. Topics included Meyer’s return, where the team stands after three weeks, and what lays ahead against Tulane…
Not having starting free safety Jordan Fuller on the field on Saturday was less than ideal for the Buckeyes. The results spoke for themselves as the safeties struggled on an afternoon where the Ohio State defense gave up 31 points to Oregon State’s backup quarterback. Fuller is not only a great tackler, but gets the secondary…
The subject matter was limited, but we got to speak with redshirt sophomore middle linebacker Tuf Borland, fifth-year senior receivers Terry McLaurin, Johnnie Dixon, and Parris Campbell, junior defensive end Nick Bosa, junior free safety Jordan Fuller, and senior right tackle Isaiah Prince. Check out our videos of each of the interviews below.
The 2018 Ohio State football team will be without its head coach for the first three games, but it should still have plenty of leadership in the locker room. The Buckeyes voted seven players captains, including two who will serve in the role for the second time. Wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Parris Campbell are the returning captains. A third wide receiver, Johnnie Dixon, and offensive tackle Isaiah Prince are the other captains on the offensive side of the ball…
The process of getting better for any athlete involves learning from mistakes rather than focusing on them. When Ohio State right tackle Isaiah Prince had his rough moments as a sophomore in 2016, he wasn’t yet able to distance himself from his mistakes. He couldn’t take his eyes or mind off of them, which held him back…
Last season as a redshirt sophomore, defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones was generally pulled off the field on passing downs. Replacing him was one of four Ohio State defensive ends, affectionately known as ‘The Rushmen.’ One of the reasons Jones decided to return for a fourth season at OSU was because he wanted to…
Senior Isaiah Prince has played every snap of his Ohio State career at right tackle. To say there is a comfort level on the right side for Prince would be like saying you have a comfort level with having the steering wheel of your car on the left side. Does that mean you couldn’t drive a car with the steering wheel on the right…
