Ohio State-Wisconsin: First Thoughts →
What a nutty night. It was one of those hot-and-cold mid-fall days in Ohio when the temperature drops 15-20 degrees between noon and nine and you’ve never quite sure how to dress. Consequently, there…

I talked to some of members of the 1961 Ohio State football team about their reunion and the Buckeyes uniforms they will wear tonight
Overheard at Ohio State Football: Wisconsin Week →
Another week of preparation for a football game has come and gone at Ohio State. Here’s a recap of what the Buckeye players and coaches had to say leading up to the Wisconsin game in case you need a…
Scouting Wisconsin vs. Ohio State →
I was skeptical this was possible before the season, but these Badgers are better overall than last year’s version. I think the defense prevents it from being a national championship caliber team,…

Ohio State-Illinois Second Thoughts →
I re-watched the Buckeyes’ 17-7 win over the Fighting Illini so you didn’t have to… The game ball certainly goes to the tailbacks. I counted at least four times Boom Herron or Jordan Hall were dead…

First thoughts: Ohio State-Illinois →
We often do not give the opponent enough credit, be it after a win or a loss, but I do think Ohio State exposed Illinois somewhat. The Fighting Illini are a good team – better than I expected them to…

Cleaning out the reporter’s notebook for another week of Ohio State football, beginning with head coach Luke Fickell’s weekly press conference and moving on to the players and assistant coaches….
Scouting Illinois →
Illinois’ 6-0 start looks pretty legitimate to me. The Fighting Illini have no glaring weaknesses, and a defense that was expected to struggle to replace a handful of big names who headed to the NFL…
Final thoughts on OSU-Nebraska →
After watching the game again, I think I get why Ohio State’s coaches decided not to spend a lot of time reviewing it with the team. The main lesson, particularly on defense in the fourth quarter, is…
Stuck in the Middle with You →
Ohio State hit the midway point of the season with an audible thud. Where do the Buckeyes go from here? It’s really up to them. This week we find inspiration from Stealer’s Wheel as we look back at…
