This game starts off as most of us would dream. OSU drives and scores early and never really looks back from there. The game never gets out of hand, but the Bucks maintain a 7-10 point margin for much of the contest before padding that further in the final period. Dwayne Haskins goes out on top, breaking nearly…
Next year, for the first time since 2011, Josh Alabi and Mike Weber won’t be teammates. The lineman and the running back first met as freshmen at Detroit’s football powerhouse Cass Tech High School.
Urban Meyer is on the cusp of coaching his final game as Ohio State’s head coach. The Rose Bowl has been a bucket list item for Meyer and next week he will finally get to check it off. Every day since his retirement, and probably a few well before it, Meyer has been taking stock of all of the “lasts” that he will be experiencing.
Ohio State junior running back Mike Weber announced Sunday evening that he plans to declare himself eligible for the 2019 NFL Draft. Much like defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones, Weber said that he plans to play in the 2019 Rose Bowl before officially turning pro. Weber made the announcement on Twitter. He wrote “I will forgo my Senior season an will live the dream I’ve had since (I was) 5 years old. I will be declaring for the 2019 NFL Draft.”
It wasn’t that long ago that trying to convince a running back to split carries was a fool’s errand. For a long time, running backs wanted to be workhorses. They wanted as many carries as they could physically handle. Time and change have surely shown, however, that there is a reason Woody Hayes always wanted a pair and a spare.
The Buckeyes have already had two underclassmen declare for the NFL Draft in defensive linemen Nick Bosa and Dre’Mont Jones, but more decisions are still to come. There are upwards of 10 Ohio State underclassmen who will be weighing their options, but most are waiting until after the Rose Bowl to really dive into their…
Some Buckeyes had an inkling that change was coming, but most had no idea that Urban Meyer was going to be announcing his retirement. They had seen the stress that this past year had put on their head coach, as well as the headaches that he was suffering, but when Meyer called an early-morning team meeting last…
The last time Ohio State didn’t lose an underclassman to the NFL Draft was 2015, which was also the last year without a full Urban Meyer OSU recruiting class being draft eligible. From 2008 to 2015, the Buckeyes lost eight underclassmen to the NFL Draft. In 2016 — which was the first year an entire Urban Meyer recruiting…
This season was not a mirage. Like the Michigan game, it was real and it was awesome. The Ohio State offense was the most impressive thing we have seen in school history. We knew it would be like this coming into the year. The Buckeyes had a very experienced wide receiver room, a dynamic 1-2 punch at running back, and…
It’s the B1G Championship Game edition of the Grumpy Old Buckeye, the column that represents the voice of negativity, even when things are going great. It’s where 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. This week we’re talking about a meeting…
