Looking at McGuff’s personnel decisions in Ohio State women’s season opener
The usual plan for Ohio State women’s basketball is to hit near the roster-size max, redshirt a handful of players for developmental purposes, and then rotate around 10 players into meaningful game moments. This is not the usual season for the Buckeyes. Head coach Kevin McGuff’s 11-player roster, with only five athletes who saw time […]

Ohio State’s men’s basketball team is off to a 2-0 start a week into the 2025-26 college basketball season. Even though the first two games were only against IU Indianapolis and Purdue Fort Wayne, there was a lot to like in the victories. While the Buckeyes have a lot of work to do to make […]
What I’m thinking about after Purdue: Is Ohio State’s offensive line its Achilles heel?
There aren’t many teams that can match the caliber of Ohio State’s offense this season, what with Heisman hopeful Julian Sayin at quarterback and the country’s two best receivers in Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate on the same roster. But even with its arsenal of talent, the Buckeye offense still has issues to work out, […]
Off-Script Ohio: Buckeyes grind past Purdue, injuries pile up, and UCLA looms under the lights
With Ohio State handling Purdue 34–10, Cole and Joey broke down a win that felt businesslike more than electric on this week’s episode of “Off-Script Ohio,” presented by Land-Grant Holy Land.

Board men get paid: Tilly looks legit, Royal bitten by injury bug in Game No. 2

Beyond the Box Score: Ohio State’s offense still prolific without Carnell Tate

Ohio State kept rolling on Saturday with another comfortable win over a Big Ten opponent. The Buckeyes defeated the Purdue Boilermakers 34-10, and it shouldn’t have been that close.

BOOOOM! Ohio State flips four-star DL Emanuel Ruffin from Colorado
After a bit of a slow start by Ohio State’s standards to the 2026 recruiting class, the Buckeyes have been on a tear lately.
