Beating Michigan since 1919.

There were a number of outstanding performances from players on both sides of the football for Ohio State. Julian Sayin was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week after completing 20 of 23 pass attempts for over […]
Every season, the spotlight burns brightest on the stars — the quarterbacks, the playmaking receivers, the dominant edge rushers. But every championship-caliber team needs its glue guys. The reliable, physical, unselfish players who keep everything together when the lights are brightest. For Ohio State, several names fit that description this year. None may lead the […]

The Ohio State Buckeyes are the No. 1 team in the country in the AP Poll, the Coaches Poll, SP+, FPI, FanDuel Sportsbook (as well as every other book), and every other legitimate college football ranking system or poll out there. However, leading into Tuesday night’s first College Football Playoff rankings announcement of the season, […]
Before the 2024-25 Ohio State women’s basketball season, head coach Kevin McGuff said that recruiting class for the 25-26 campaign was going to be small. Until a late commitment flip and freshman transfer situation, the 2025 class was guard Dasha Biriuk. Now, the 6-foot-2 guard from Ukraine, by the way of Tennessee, joins the Buckeyes. […]
Ohio State’s 2026 class looks in good shape on paper, but Ryan Day and his staff are still very much active on the trail. The Buckeyes have spent the fall courting several prospects already pledged elsewhere, and this fall’s roster shakeups around the country, coaching changes, program turbulence, and a handful of decommitments have opened […]
Having one guy on your roster as good as Carnell Tate or Jeremiah Smith can take a team from good to great. Having two of them is an abundance that can shift the course of an entire season. With these two players, it’s well within the realm of possibility that the Buckeyes will have the […]
Even though it is football season, college basketball season is just around the corner with the Buckeyes tipping off on Nov. 3. There were a lot of roster changes for the Buckeyes heading into the 2025-26 season, and over the next couple of months we will be dropping one player preview a week to get […]
This offseason, the roster, leadership and expectations for Ohio State women’s basketball’s 2025-26 season were all in question. That made it difficult to make heads or tails on how things will play out for the Buckeyes. With all that in mind, after years of providing in-depth coverage of the team, Land-Grant Holy Land wanted to […]

Ohio State needed a half to return from its bye week but the Buckeyes were able to pull away from the Penn State Nittany Lions after halftime. Julian Sayin threw more touchdowns than incomplete passes, and his receiving corps continues to practice surgery on opposing secondaries. We broke down the Buckeyes’ 38-14 win over the […]
Ohio State is now 8-0 following an impressive 38-14 victory over Penn State last weekend. While the game was not as important as it looked earlier on this season, it still presented the Buckeyes with the opportunity to impress against a team of blue-chip athletes. Impress is what Ohio State’s football team did on the […]
New court laid out, new lights in the rafters, new German-born big man patrolling the paint. There was plenty of flash and fanfare on Monday night as Ohio State began its quest to win the second national championship in program history, but once the ball went up at 6:30, the Buckeyes were all business. Facing […]
On this week’s episode of “Off-Script Ohio,“ brought to you by Land-Grant Holy Land, Cole VanWiechen and Joey Gertz dive into Ohio State’s 38–14 statement win over Penn State, a game that was far more lopsided than the score even suggests. From Julian Sayin’s near-perfect outing to the defensive dominance up front, the Buckeyes sent […]
So far in Land-Grant Holy Land’s player preview series for the upcoming 2025-26 Ohio State women’s basketball season, a lot has been said about the Buckeyes’ deep shooting. Head coach Kevin McGuff has a smaller roster this year than in past seasons (11), but all of them have the ability to hit shots from beyond […]

Ohio State ultimately had no trouble in dispatching Penn State 38-14 on Saturday, but the Nittany Lions hung around for a while and the game became unnecessarily close just prior to halftime. The Buckeyes pulled away in the second half for what was a comfortable win in the end, as Matt Patricia made some good […]
The Ohio State men’s basketball team officially opens the 2025-26 season on Monday night against the IU Indy Jaguars.

They were picked to finish 10th (out […]
Over his last two games, Julian Sayin has completed 56-of-65 passes for 709 yards, eight touchdowns, and no interceptions.

It was a fantastic weekend for Ohio State football on and off the field. After the Buckeyes beat up on Penn State on Saturday to the tune of a 38-14 win, the program then picked up two big wins on the recruiting trail on Sunday. Offensive line coach Tyler Bowen landed two huge commitments in […]

A tale of two halves on Saturday in Columbus. While the Buckeyes ultimately won 38-14 over Penn State, a costly fumble into an immediate touchdown brought Penn State within three points at the half. From then on, it was all Scarlet and Gray; Ohio State would shut out Penn State and put up 21 points […]
