Saturday was “Ohio State Day” at the NFL Combine. Not officially, mind you, but essentially. Quarterback Dwayne Haskins worked out, as did receivers Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, and Johnnie Dixon. It was also media availability day for defensive end Nick Bosa and defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones. However, it wasn’t…
Last season, Terry McLaurin and Johnnie Dixon combined to procure 77 receptions for 1,370 yards and 19 touchdowns. For the first eight games, they were splitting reps at the Z receiver spot. Once Austin Mack was lost due to injury at the X, McLaurin moved over and shared reps with Binjimen Victor. As the No. 1 Z receiver down the…
Well before quarterback Dwayne Haskins bypassed his final two seasons of eligibility at Ohio State, the process of replacing him had begun. And then all hell broke loose. Justin Fields transferred in, Tate Martell transferred out, and freshman Matthew Baldwin was there to watch it all happen. Fields is arguably the most-highly-touted…
Terry McLaurin has been here before. No, not Mobile, Alabama where he is currently taking part in a week-long job interview at the Senior Bowl. Rather, having to once again prove himself to those who weren’t quite sure he was good enough to get the job done. McLaurin was a late addition to the Senior Bowl…
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.
There were rumors and speculation over the last five months that this would be Urban Meyer’s last season at Ohio State. Over the two weeks or so prior to the Michigan game, those rumors began to solidify. Before announcing his retirement three days after winning his third Big Ten Championship, Meyer wanted to…
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…
COLUMBUS — Urban Meyer was ready to retire and step down from coaching the Ohio State football program. There wasn’t necessarily a precise moment when he knew he was ready, but by Monday he had come to terms with his decision. While his health played a huge part in his overall decision to retire this year, the…
INDIANAPOLIS — He returned to his hometown to once again make a statement for the Buckeyes. The best of senior wide receiver Terry McLaurin was brought out on Saturday in the Big Ten Championship Game as he finished with three receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns in a 45-24 win over Northwestern to…
Saturday afternoon in Ohio Stadium with the division and — more importantly — bragging rights on the line, a big-time player stepped up in a big-time game. But this was unlike any other performance he has had this season. In a game where Ohio State was saying goodbye to three senior captain receivers, it was true freshman…
