In 2017, JK Dobbins had the best freshman season an Ohio State running back has ever had. He rushed for 1,403 yards on 194 carries, averaging 7.2 yards per attempt. His career began with a bang, having been thrust into the starting lineup in the season opener due to an injury to Mike Weber. In that opener, Dobbins carried the ball…
The Ohio State Buckeyes opened their 2019 spring football season on Wednesday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. It was the program’s first practice since the end of the 2019 Rose Bowl, and also the first one of the Ryan Day era at OSU.
This a topic that I stole from the message board because I found it pretty interesting. In any given year there are certainly candidates to discuss, but this is especially true in the years when the Buckeyes have won a national championship. In 2014, you could make the argument for Ezekiel Elliott or Taylor Decker or Joey Bosa or Darron Lee…
For every freshman, experiencing the first workout or first practice is an eye-opening experience. At Ohio State, freshmen can no longer get by with just being bigger or stronger or faster than the players they are competing against. Sure, those things help, but until players get the necessary technique down, they will be at a disadvantage.
This game starts off as most of us would dream. OSU drives and scores early and never really looks back from there. The game never gets out of hand, but the Bucks maintain a 7-10 point margin for much of the contest before padding that further in the final period. Dwayne Haskins goes out on top, breaking nearly…
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…
Last week’s edition of The Game was awesome. There’s no getting around it. I went in with guarded optimism, my weekly statistical projection giving the Buckeyes a very close victory. Instead, they dissected Don Brown’s “gameplan” like he was a middle-of-the-pack Big 12 defensive strategist. And, in just four hours, Urban Meyer turned…
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…
