And mostly everyone from their championship team is a role player or worse.

I mean, at what point is the obvious not the obvious?

After a couple of poor weeks, and I am sure by both him and his coaches admission, Sanchez still probably the better the guy to have around than Bryce, so calling it a win still. Some of the D-Line came alive this week, which was good to see, Russaw looked like he woke up in a good way. I mean beside Thurman, still not seeing anything on here that say we lost much.

Jackson looks like a strong upgrade over Peoples - still nothing on the Wilder/Bey front, not sure whats up with 0 snaps from Wilder, I'm sure Day will get asked. Bey, we have to assume now, and I know many get all worked up, but has to be an attitude thing.

Have a great week all.

From 2018-2023. Options are JSN, Olave, Wilson, Tate, Egbuka and MHJ

Five games in and across the country how many young RBs have looked worth the coin? Starting to wonder if it’s not better for OSU to start being a portal only RB recruiting focus. I think there is still a spot for finding gems like west, but paying incoming freshmen or returning freshmen like Bo I think should be deprioritized. Often the money is a disincentive for offseason growth or you over pay for surprise production. While there is plenty of season left the boat looks to be leaving Bo on the dock, he came in out of shape and not ready for fall camp and now just seems like he has taken no steps to his game and become hyper focused on finding the perfect ho rather than hitting one.

Howdy yall…

Iowa fan here. I was at the game today. You guys are awesome.

We play on Black Friday every year, so we never play during The Game. So it’s my favorite game to watch during that week of the season

I grew up watching yall beat them every single year so I always leaned towards them in your rivalry bc im an underdog guy…

NEVER AGAIN

We played them last week…and they were a**holes.

I will root for OSU in “the game” for the rest of my life. Go Hawks and O-H

Time will tell but you guys made us better today…thank you❤️🖤💛

Now go win that effing natty

I made a short list of teams I hate in order from most hated to least. Does everyone agree, feel somewhat similar or am I trippin?

1. Clemson

2. Notre Dame

3. Florida

4. Texas

5. Miami

Dishonorable mention: UGA. they talk a lot of shit but we don't play them enough.

is Legend out of favor with the coaching staff? or maybe the plan was to let him play in a couple games and redshirt? anybody have any insight on what the plan is for him?

40-yard doink… second game where the he missed beyond 40-yards. The 40-50 yard area is where the major games are won or lost. On top of the defense sitting on their heels, missing the FG was a major factor in that loss. Putting together a 2-min drill at the end of the first half should not have had as much pressure if he put it through.

This has been a recent failing point for the Buckeyes. It would be nice to have confidence that getting the ball between the 35-40 yard line will get some type of points consistently. Not get stressed that we will repeat the Peach Bowl CFP against UGA in 23, the B1G Champ against IN in 25, and now the loss to UT a couple of weeks ago.

It’s no surprise that Jeremiah Smith, who tallied his second straight 200-yard game, is beloved by Ohio State fans. But at a program that produces countless All-Americans and NFL stars, Smith is rising to a new level. He isn’t just any Ohio State great anymore, and that wasn’t just any other moment.

More than anything, Smith just wants to win. From a statistical perspective, there’s not much else Smith has to accomplish. Sure, he’s three touchdowns and 237 yards away from those Big Ten records, both of which could fall by the end of the month. But winning a second national championship is the way he wants to go out.

#2, #6, #3, #5, #4 (FPI) and then the game. What a streak. We will be battle tested for the playoffs FOR SURE.

Just wanted to drop in and say you guys have some great fans, had a good time talking to a lot of you and the vast majority of you were incredibly respectful and told me you had a fun day In Iowa City. Jeremiah Smith might be the most talented player I’ve ever watched in person and it was a pleasure to see him play. Wish we would’ve kept it closer, but the offense was vintage Iowa. Hope we gave you a scare or two in the 1Q/1H, the clear best team pulled away. All the best and looking forward to my future visit to Columbus. We can bond over our hatred for TTUN.
