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…

Statistical Projection: Ohio State vs. Indiana
Don’t let the impressive 4-1 record fool you. The Hoosiers have been remarkably average in their first five football games this season. They had a nice road win against a decent Virginia team, but also lost by two touchdowns to a Michigan State team that, though ranked, has also struggled a bit this season. In the in-between, they’ve…

Of those 14, 11 are back, and there are another dozen players looking for their first steps into the end zone this year as well. There are, of course, 100 yards separating end zones, and plenty…
5 Things To Watch For On The Ohio State Offense
Ohio State held its third practice of the fall on Sunday, although like the first two, it was still closed to the media. The team has a day off on Monday, and will be back at it Tuesday. The school has said that it will have an update sometime on Monday about when practices may reopen to reporters. However, the first game is now less than four weeks away, so there’s not much time for the team – and everyone else – to figure out the answers to a few big questions about this year’s Buckeyes…
Pre-Fall Positional Projection: Ohio State Running Backs
Tapping into my inner Tony and without doing the research, I’d assume there are not many running back rooms around the country which consists of two former 1,000-yard rushers. I’d assume there are even less that had both of those guys rush for over 1,000 yards in their respective freshman seasons. Going into last season…

Some coaches have trouble deciding which players to play because their choices are limited. Picking and choosing could sometimes be better described as scouring and scrounging.
