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…
The Buckeyes faced a strong opponent in TCU and received their first real test of the season. Reading the box score, the two teams were pretty even statistically, except for one key area. The thing which jumps off the page was TCU’s three turnovers. But when we dig deeper, things were not as even as they seemed.
TCU finally forced Ohio State to face a bit of adversity. Trailing in the second half and without perhaps the nation’s best college football player after Nick Bosa’s injury, the Buckeyes rallied in all three phases of the game, scoring on Dre’mont Jones’ shovel pass pick six, blocking (partially, anyway) a punt, and hitting big pass…
Ohio State came into Saturday’s game against TCU with questions needing answers. The first two games against Oregon State and Rutgers provided glimpses, but there was still too much mystery surrounding parts of the team. Following the Buckeyes’ 40-28 win over the Horned Frogs, however, some of those glimpses…
Welcome back, friends. In case you’re new to the Grumpy Old Buckeye, this column serves as the voice of negativity, even when things are generally pretty great. 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. This week we’re talking Ohio State…
Dallas — Through three games this season, Ohio State junior defensive end Nick Bosa can make a strong argument that he is the best player in college football. A dominating defender, Bosa is equally as devastating against the rush or the pass. Offenses scheme entire game plans around him because if they don’t, they will…
ARLINGTON, Tx — The No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes answered plenty of questions in Saturday night’s 40-28 win over No. 15 TCU, but they didn’t answer all of them. The OSU offense and defense both had their struggles in the first half, but both sides of the ball bounced back in the second half. Following the win, acting head coach…
All the talk about TCU (2-1) being a test for the Buckeyes (3-0) turned out to be absolutely true. After cruising to easy wins over Oregon State and Rutgers, the Buckeyes finally played a team with a pulse. In the end, OSU had too much for the Horned Frogs and prevailed by a final of 40-28, but for just over a half TCU, gave…
The-Ozone has arrived at beautiful AT&T Stadium, which means that we are also tweeting about it. If you haven’t been keeping up with our travels, it’s been a real good time so far. Tonight at 8:00 pm Eastern (the only time zone that matters), the No. 4 Buckeyes and the No. 15 TCU Horned Frogs settle their beefs once and for all.
Ohio State is second in the nation in scoring, No. 12 in the nation in rushing, No. 16 in passing, and second in total offense. They have won their two games by an average score of 64.5 to 17. The Buckeyes are one of three offenses (Oklahoma State, Mississippi State) to be in the Top 20 in both passing and rushing.
Every year there comes a point in time when we download a gigantic file of information on the Ohio State football team. Over the first two weeks, we’ve gotten snippets, but on Saturday night, we’re going to get an entire zip file. We think we know how good the Buckeyes are, but we’re going to know a whole lot more…
