Ohio State did not put its best foot forward in the Big Ten Championship Game against Indiana. The game was there for the taking, but the Buckeyes didn’t take it.

A conversation coming out of the Buckeyes’ Big Ten Championship loss to Indiana centered around the Buckeyes potentially being distracted by Brian Hartline taking the head coaching job at South Florida.

Ohio State entered the 2025 season with few bigger returnees than junior safety Caleb Downs. Coming off a dominant 2024 campaign in which he helped anchor the Buckeyes’ national championship defense, Downs returned as one of the nation’s most elite defenders, a preseason All-American and a projected top-10 NFL Draft pick. Over the course of […]

Ohio State has never lacked talent at running back, but true freshmen rarely seize the job and never look back. Bo Jackson did exactly that in 2025. Entering the season in a split backfield with CJ Donaldson, Jackson steadily asserted himself with every carry, eventually emerging as the Buckeyes’ clear RB1. He currently has 168 […]

Brian Hartline’s departure from Ohio State leaves a significant gap. During his tenure as wide receivers coach (and most recently offensive coordinator), he helped develop a pipeline of elite pass-catching talent and guided one of the nation’s most prolific receiver rooms, including players like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jeremiah Smith, while overseeing an offense that […]

Much has been said about the fact that it’s entirely possible if OSU had not lost to Michigan in 2024, they may not have had the fuel they needed to go on to win a national title. Now, as they gear up for their showdown with Miami in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve, […]
