In this episode of The Buckeye SloopCast, Jared and Kyle pay homage to Ohio State’s best defensive player since Antoine Winfield, as punter Drue Chrisman had a whale of a game against Michigan State. They also look back at the rest of the game and talk about what went right and what went wrong, and what it means moving…
COLUMBUS — Ohio State has announced the Players of the Game and Champions from the Buckeyes 26-6 win at Michigan State on Saturday, and there is a rare double dip involved.

After getting their collective soul cleansed by an old-fashioned butt-whooping at Purdue, the Buckeyes have…

A fist fight is not the most appealing thing on a cold day in November in East Lansing, but that’s exactly what the Buckeyes (9-1, 6-1) found themselves in for a half against the Spartans of Michigan State (6-4, 4-3). Neither team could mount any kind of consistent offense in the first half as both defenses dominated play.
The last thing my Prediction Master told me on his death bad was that he knew this was coming. The second-to-last thing he told me was that predicting college football is the most difficult soothsaying there is. For one, you can’t trust these dang millennials. For two, on any given play with 22 players on the field, at least 11 are screwing up.
This is a very big game for the Ohio State football team this weekend, which means it is time to ask for help. As we do in big games, we head to the other side of the field for some proper insights. This week, we check in with Matt Wenzel, who covers Michigan State football for MLive.com. As always, this question-and-answer…
They say the enemy of your enemy is your friend, but what if the enemy of your enemy is also your enemy, yet also your friend for many years now?
