I’ll 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. First up: Ohio State vs. Oregon State.
Ten Things We Learned from Ohio State’s 77-31 Win Over Oregon State
Any time your defense gives up 31 points, it’s a bad look. But any time your offense scores 70 points, that’s enough to take your mind off of the 31, right? No, probably not. In fact, after about 56 points, people stop paying attention to offensive points because it’s assumed that every drive will be a score due to the opposing…
OSU Defensive Problems a Learning Experience, Fixable
In Saturday’s win over Oregon State, the Buckeye defense allowed 31 points and 392 yards of total offense.

Questions Answered: Buckeyes Maul Oregon State 77-31
Off-field issues made this year’s fall camp one of the quietest in memory as far as information about the progress of the team is concerned.

While you wait for the Buckeyes to kick off at noon today, feel free to look back on the week that was in Ohio State football.

Five Predictions — Oregon State at Ohio State
The keynote speaker at this year’s National Association of Revered Sports Predictors Convention couldn’t get off work, so I volunteered to speak in his place. Instead of going ahead and having me speak, however, they decided to just scrap the speech and open up the bar. I have given the speech before, so this was no big deal.
Five for Friday: What to Watch For — Oregon State at Ohio State
There is so much newness to this season, and especially to this game. Oregon State has a new head coach and new coordinators, which means that when the Ohio State coaches were preparing for it, they were looking at film from the places where those coordinators used to be. Then the Buckeye coaches take those schemes…

Well, I’ve only read my own picks, but I’m assuming there’s going to be a whole lot of Scarlet and Gray pickin’ going on. Which players will be picked to shine? Will there be any random predictions?
