Kevin Wilson Looking for a One-Two Punch at Tailback for Buckeyes
They say when you have two quarterbacks, you don’t have one. When you have two running backs, however, you should probably use them.

Ohio State Football Notebook: ‘It’s in the back of everyone’s minds’
Woody Hayes used to say that when it comes to running backs, you need a pair and a spare.

Only once…

The Fake “A” Student: The 2016 Ohio State Offense
I want you to think really hard about this next question — what do you consider a successful offensive season for Ohio State? Is it how many points they score? Or how many yards they put up? What about just being consistent? Maybe a combination of all of these? For each person, the answer to this relatively simple…
Being A Grown Up In The Age Of Jim Tressel
James Vogel recently wrote an article about former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel that accomplished two things simultaneously. As Tony Gerdeman accurately predicted, the article by James made me feel very old. The second made me positively reminisce about the Tressel years, even as Ohio State fans are basking…
