0 comment

Would Jameson Williams be the 4th best receiver on Ohio State’s roster? The question that has divided half the fan base needs to be addressed. Before I dive deep into this rabbit hole I want to throw a disclaimer out that I know this article will likely trigger some fans. The Jameson Williams debate has become a highly sensitive topic, but I felt as if this was a good time…

With Rose Bowl Over, It’s Time for Ohio State to Look Forward to 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…

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…

The Ideal Edge Rusher in a Jim Knowles Defense

December 22, 2021
0 comment

It is fair to state that the Buckeye defense struggled in 2021. Most notably in the losses to Oregon and Michigan, the defense failed to generate any semblance of a consistent pass rush that has been a staple for Ohio State the last decade. Despite putting up decent team sack numbers, 36 to be exact, the Buckeyes have not had an elite pass rusher since the departure of Chase Young….
