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…
I know, I know. It’s a travesty and you’re as fired up as I am about it!! I’m referring, of course, to the Big Ten’s (coaches and media) decision to award the conference’s Punter of the Year Award to Michigan’s Will Hart and not Ohio State’s Drue Chrisman. It may not be a scandal or anything national newsworthy, but…
Over the one hundred-plus years of Ohio State playing Michigan, the Buckeyes have won any number of ways. There have been close wins, come-from-behind wins, blowouts, comfortable-but-still-kind-of-close wins like in 2007, and even a win in the Game of the Century in 2006. Over the last three years, however, the Buckeyes…
In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr revisit the Michigan game and wonder why the Wolverines were so darn helpful. They also have a discussion about Urban Meyer’s future. The show eventually gets to Northwestern and the B1G Championship Game before closing with listener questions.
Michigan came into Saturday’s game against Ohio State with one of the nation’s top defenses, holding opponents to just 13.5 points per game. The Buckeye offense, undeterred, went ahead and scored four times that amount against the Wolverines. Quarterback Dwayne Haskins threw for 396 yards and six touchdowns, and…
We love our autumn traditions on the Silver Bullets Podcast: apple cider, pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving dinner with the family, and a big Ohio State win over that team up north. Both Chip Minnich and I predicted an Ohio State victory but neither of us expected it to be quite so comprehensive. We break down the OSU victory…
I don’t really know what else to say about Ohio State’s 62-39 win over Michigan that I didn’t already say in The Scarlet Wedding piece that I wrote on Sunday, but I guess I can try. Everything that follows will probably be some form of me saying that nearly everything Michigan did in this game could have been mistaken…
In 1993, the Buckeyes were 9-0-1, having tied Wisconsin. They headed to Ann Arbor to face a 6-4 Wolverine squad in that year’s episode of The Game. I was there. It was my first (and only) trip to the “Big House.” Like many other Ohio State fans that year, I was feeling good about our chances that afternoon. It was probably…
Making his first-ever start against Michigan, the sophomore from Potomac, Md. threw for 396 yards and a school record-tying six touchdown passes. In the process, he set Big Ten season records for passing yards and TDs. He broke Drew Brees’ TD record of 39, set in 1998, and Curtis Painter’s yards mark of 3,985, set in 2006.
Ohio State has announced the Players of the Game from the Michigan game, as well as all of the players who graded out as Champions, and it’s a good thing the internet exists because the list may actually be too long for print. The Player of the Game on offense was senior H-back Parris Campbell, who had six catches for 192 yards…
