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…
Justin Fields was electric, as we knew he should be. I was very close on his pass total (25 vs. a projected 26) and completions (18 vs. 21). He managed to outshine my TD total, throwing one more TD pass than I anticipated. I thought that the other QBs would see more action, but Ryan Day left Fields in for the majority of the game, limiting the backup…
Welcome back to the first Grumpy Old Buckeye of the 2019 Ohio State season. If you’re new to this column, welcome! The aim here is 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.

There are roughly 21 players on the Ohio State roster who can catch or carry the football this year, not including the quarterbacks. Coming up with a list of 20 of them is not difficult. Only two of those players were left off of this list. The first — redshirt freshman receiver Kamryn Babb — isn’t listed because he is returning from a torn ACL. Expect him to…
If a high school recruit signs a letter of intent with Ohio State, that is a pretty good indication that they can play football at a high level. Incoming freshmen Bryson Shaw and Craig Young were two of OSU’s lowest-rated recruits, but their coaches have as much anticipation for them as they 5-star recruits. Young could end up in a couple of different spots on the defense.
The Ohio State football media team has released their latest edition of The Room, detailing the inside workings of each specific Buckeye position group. Today, the tight ends get the spotlight. Voted the unit of the offseason for their work in the winter, the Buckeye tight ends talk about the importance of their position and the coaching that…
