You’re Nuts: One player not named Sayin or Smith who holds the key to beating Indiana
Everybody knows that one of the best parts of being a sports fan is debating and dissecting the most (and least) important questions in the sporting world with your friends.

Beyond the Box Score: Ryan Day provides a steady hand among ever-evolving college football landscape
When Ryan Day became Ohio State’s head coach after Urban Meyer announced his retirement, he made it clear that he and his family understood the expectations that come with the job. This is THE Ohio State University. Expectations are to win the national championship every season. How does that impact the leadership of the man […]

Which remaining Ohio State game are you most excited for?
Throughout the year, we will be asking and answering questions about various Ohio State teams, the players, and anything else on our collective minds of varying degrees of importance. The college football regular season is officially halfway over for the Ohio State Buckeyes. They completed the first portion with a bumpy 5-1 record. While not a certainty, […]
Off-Script Ohio: Previewing Ohio State’s top-five showdown at Indiana
This is the one Ohio State fans have had circled since December. No. 4 Ohio State travels to No. 5 Indiana on Saturday at noon ET on FOX for a rematch of last year’s 13-10 Big Ten title game loss in Indianapolis. The Buckeyes are 3.5-point favorites, but going into Bloomington against the defending national […]
You’re Nuts: What should concern Ohio State most about Indiana?
Ohio State and Indiana square off in Bloomington on Saturday in a top-5 battle between unbeaten teams. The showdown will also be a rematch of the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game, where the Hoosiers squeaked out a 13-10 win over the Buckeyes. Curt Cignetti’s team would go on to win the national championship while Ohio […]
Jermaine Mathews Jr. is quietly having his best season at Ohio State
There’s an old rule about cornerbacks — If you aren’t hearing a corner’s name, he’s probably doing his job. Nobody talks about the corner when the ball goes somewhere else, when the receiver he’s covering finishes with two catches, or when a third-down throw falls incomplete because the quarterback never pulled the trigger. By that […]
Ohio State men’s basketball player preview: Alex Smith
Even though it is football season, college basketball season is just around the corner. The Buckeyes tip off on Nov. 2 against BYU in Salt Lake City. There were a lot of roster changes for Ohio State heading into the 2026-27 season, and over the next couple of months, we will be dropping one player […]
I’m still wondering how costly Ohio State’s special teams will continue to be to the program’s success
There’s a lot from last weekend against Maryland that is still on my mind, and no doubt, it’s still on Ryan Day’s mind as well. Despite the 45-16 victory over the Terrapins, the Buckeyes’ performance is easy to scrutinize (and trust me when I say I have, as someone who loves to coach from the […]

The numbers reveal an Ohio State running game that’s better than it looks
There are few things more beautiful in the history of college football than an Ohio State running back in the open field. From Les Horvath and Hopalong Cassady to Archie Griffin and Keith Byars to Eddie George, Ezekiel Elliott, J.K. Dobbins, and TreVeyon Henderson, Buckeye fans have been spoiled by decades of running backs capable […]
Ohio State gained ground with several recruits following Maryland win
Ohio State is now 5-1 following Saturday’s win over Maryland. The Buckeyes earned another impressive victory with their 45-16 win against the Terrapins for their annual homecoming game.

You’re Nuts: What was the most important thing we learned from the Maryland game?
Every time the Buckeyes take the field, it is an opportunity for us as fans — and, I guess, more importantly for the coaches — to learn something new about the team. Well, now that the first half of the season is in the books, OSU is heading into an insanely challenging back half in […]
Ohio State’s secondary vs. Maryland’s receivers decided the game
On paper, Maryland’s best chance at keeping this one close was through the air. The Terrapins entered the weekend averaging 277.2 passing yards per game, 28th in the country. They also had Chris Durr Jr., who ranked second nationally with 8.4 catches per game, behind only Jeremiah Smith. Durr had at least six catches in […]
Grumpy Old Buckeye: Nitpicking Ohio State’s 45-16 win over Maryland
Ohio State took care of business in its 45-16 win over Maryland, and although it wasn’t always the cleanest performance, it was another positive step for a team that is still growing together and a chance to rest some guys who have picked up knocks in recent weeks ahead of a Top 10 showdown at […]
By the Numbers: Key numbers that stand out from Ohio State’s 45-16 win over Maryland
Ohio State’s win over Maryland was weird — or rather, the game was. It rained throughout, Julian Sayin didn’t look completely sharp, the Terrapins were kind of in it even though the stat sheet didn’t show it, and Jeremiah Smith was held to under 150 receiving yards for the second time this season. Let’s look […]

Off-Script Ohio: Maryland recap, Sayin’s struggles and a wild weekend in college football
Ohio State moved to 5-1 and 3-0 in Big Ten play with a 45-16 homecoming win over Maryland, but it wasn’t always pretty. The Terrapins pulled within 14-10 in the second quarter, and for a few minutes in the rain at Ohio Stadium, this one felt closer than it should have. Then Maryland’s secondary simply […]
Ohio State trending to flip a 2027 LB after big recruiting weekend
Ohio State did a great job of winning both on and off the field on Saturday. The Buckeyes beat up on Maryland 45-16 behind a strong defensive effort and big plays from Jeremiah Smith and Bo Jackson, and all the while the coaching staff was playing host to a plethora of big time recruits. One […]

Revisit Ohio State’s best plays in their 45-16 win over Maryland
You wouldn’t know it to look at the commanding 45-16 final score, but Ohio State’s homecoming win over Maryland was sloppy at best. While many of the reps went to guys a little deeper in the depth chart than usual as Ryan Day tried to rest starters where he could ahead of Indiana next week, […]
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Ohio State’s 45-16 win vs. Maryland
Ohio State took a bit to get going on Saturday, but eventually ran away — quite literally — with a 45-16 win over Maryland in Week 6.
