August 1, 2022

The Ohio State Football team is in prime position for a big season and these players will be x-factors for the Buckeyes this fall. The 2022 season arrives with more anticipation and expectations than the Buckeyes have garnered, arguably, since the 2015 campaign.

Jim Knowles Making Big Strides As Ohio State Defense Looks to Rebound

April 13, 2022

This defensive struggles for Ohio State have been well chronicled the past two seasons. The Buckeyes gave up a combined 97 points in their final two games of 2021, a historically abysmal performance. In many of the biggest games, the Buckeye defense has been out-schemed and out played to the point where even historically prolific offenses couldn’t keep up with the pace. Ryan Day was famously outwardly disgusted with such…

Gee Scott Jr’s TE Journey

April 6, 2022

Once a highly touted 4-star prospect and top 10 at his position (WR), Gee Scott Jr found himself lost in the wide receiver shuffle, coming into a room that would include Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Julian Fleming. This is nothing new to the Buckeyes as Jameson Williams famously had the same issue and ended up becoming perhaps the best deep threat in the country while at Alabama,…

January 3, 2022

If you’re anything like me, I’m sure you’re still emotionally recovering from the Rose Bowl that took over the NY6 weekend with all its fireworks. Jaxon Smith-Njigba shattered a number of records on his way to a 347 yard (FBS bowl record) and three touchdown performance. Somewhat overlooked was CJ Stroud’s performance, amassing 572 yards passing (OSU single game record) and six touchdowns. The offense was spectacular in every sense…

What To Watch For In The Rose Bowl

There’s no doubt about it: the Rose Bowl is not where the Buckeyes expected to be nor wanted to be at the end of the year. Nonetheless, it’s still the Rose Bowl and there is still plenty to improve upon and play for. The overwhelming amount of attention will of course be on the defense, namely against the run as Utah prides itself on having a physical ground game, something…
