Numbers don’t lie. And the numbers Matt Patricia posted in his first season at Ohio State tell a story that even the most skeptical observer would have a hard time arguing with. When Patricia was hired in February 2025 to replace Jim Knowles, he inherited a defense that had just helped win a national championship. […]

Ohio State’s offense is built around elite skill talent, a future NFL quarterback, All-American receivers, and breakout running backs. But when you strip the layers back to what makes that offense work, it often comes down to the line that protects and propels it. And no player on that line matters more for 2026 than […]

It’s safe to say not everyone was sold on Ryan Day’s hire of Matt Patricia as defensive coordinator when Jim Knowles took the Penn State job. Our own site listed the uncertainty of the choice as one of the Buckeyes’ biggest concerns last summer. While things hadn’t gone so well for Patricia as an NFL […]

Ohio State’s most important offensive line question might not be whether the Buckeyes have enough talent. It is whether they can align that talent in the way that gives the entire unit its highest ceiling. Left tackle sits at the center of that conversation. Austin Siereveld handled the job last season and started all 14 […]

Earl Little Jr., the Florida State transfer, gives the Buckeyes a veteran defensive back with real production, real versatility, and the kind of experience that can stabilize a […]
