I’ve mentioned it before, I like predicting stuff. It’s fun. Hit on a couple of guesses, ignore those that you whiffed on, and you’re feeling like a million bucks. We’re now in the dog days of summer, with nothing left but baseball to save us from absolute sports boredom. For me, that’s just not enough, and my brain is…
Shannon Sommers and Chip Minnich get together to discuss the biggest game in the Big Ten this season. They are honored to have Kevin McGuire (@KevinonCFB) from NBC College Football Talk, Athlon Sports and No Two Minute Warning Podcast. Kevin helps break down what we are all hoping will be a great game between…
Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is leading the nation in all-purpose yards, averaging a combined 211.1 rushing, receiving, and kickoff return yards per game. Those numbers have made him a Heisman favorite. They have also made him a very bright target for the Ohio State defense on Saturday. “The dude’s a monster,” said linebacker Jerome Baker.
Saturday’s game against Penn State is the biggest test for Ohio State since they faced Oklahoma at home in week two. That game did not go well for the Buckeyes, which makes this game even bigger. There is no margin for error here, which has put quite a bit of pressure on the Buckeyes. Some teams love pressure, while others simply can’t handle it.

This means that every team in the B1G is also playing second fiddle to the Penn State running backs. Second fiddle ain’t so bad. I like fiddles. There are also going to be some new…
I just realized that splitting up this 100 Things into 10 pieces means that I have to come up with 10 separate intros. Intros are not my favorite things, and so sometimes I don’t put as much thought into them as I should. This intro, for instance, is probably going to be my worse one ever. But then I remember that I still have…
Anybody can look forward to 10 things, or 40 things, or 85 things, but it takes a special lot to look forward to 100 things. But you being Buckeye fans, and them being the Buckeyes, 100 things is just a drop in the bucket. Fortunately for all of us, 100 things is also the max that I can probably get away with throwing…
How far Ohio State football goes in 2017 will depend in large part on how well the best players on their schedule play when facing off against the Buckeyes. With a schedule that features 10 Power 5 opponents, there are plenty of good players to worry about. Oklahoma, Penn State, and Michigan could all end up in the…
