COLUMBUS — Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with reporters Thursday afternoon for his weekly rapid-fire ‘lightning round’ of questions from reporters. He talked about the impending reinstatement of All-American defensive end Chase Young, and answered several other questions about his team and their upcoming weekend. Here are the highlights.
Redshirt junior linebacker Tuf Borland and fifth-year nose tackle Davon Hamilton were named Ohio State’s Defensive Players of the Game for their performances in the Buckeyes’ 73-14 win over Maryland on Saturday. Redshirt-sophomore center Josh Myers and fifth-year senior receiver KJ Hill earned the nod for the Buckeye offense.
What can we possibly learn from what seems like the seventh 73-14 win for the Buckeyes this season? I have no idea, but even a day late because of basketball, I’m going to give it a shot. If I were to let Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt do this piece, the first item on the list would be that somebody in the Maryland football program blew the whistle on Chase Young. But that’s not…
There is good and bad in every game. Some games have more good than bad, and some games have more bad than good. And some games are over before the first six touchdowns are ever scored. This feature is about acknowledging both the bad and good, or whichever stood out to us most. Borrowing from Ohio State’s practice of handing out Buckeye leaves for good plays…
Ohio State tried really hard this week not to give me much to gripe about. For much of the game I didn’t have a whole lot of complaints. But I’m nothing if not persistent, so I stuck with it and found plenty of things to be angry about despite the ultimate 73-14 win over the Maryland Terrapins. Let’s get to what made me want to spray passersby with the hose.
COLUMBUS — Ohio State came into the Maryland game knowing that they would be down not one, but two of their starting defensive ends. Senior defensive end Jonathon Cooper has missed the majority of the games this season due to injury, and with junior defensive end Chase Young’s future up in the air, the Ohio State Rushmen had to figure out a way to make up…
COLUMBUS — Following Ohio State’s 73-14 destruction of the Maryland Terrapins, Buckeye head coach Ryan Day took to the podium to answer questions about his team and their impressive performance on the afternoon. An Ohio State spokesman began by saying there is nothing new that can be added to the Chase Young situation.
Look, it’s 9:07 pm on a Friday night and I haven’t even started the Tip Sheet yet, so please forgive me if I don’t recap all of my predictions last week which we can all assume were correct. I’ll recap them in next week’s five predictions on Friday somehow, even though I’ll probably be driving to New Freaking Jersey at the time.
If you found yourself bored by the week-after-week Ohio State dominance, then consider yourselves reawakened. Or maybe consider yourselves to blame. Buckeye defensive end Chase Young is out this week — not suspended — while OSU looks into improper benefits, so this does change things a bit for the Ohio State defense. It also changes things a bit for the staff picks.
