There was someone else there […]

The Denver Broncos are adamant about wanting to build a defense-oriented team under Vic Fangio. With that being said, the Broncos should have some interest in Ohio State linebacker Malik Harrison in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Los Angeles Rams have shown that they have a few holes to fill after the 2019 season comes to a close. Among their needs, Ohio State cornerback Shaun Wade could make sense as a second-round target for the Rams in 2020 NFL Draft. Earlier this season, Los Angeles surrendered a ton of draft capital […]

Through 14 weeks, the Pittsburgh Steelers are 8-5. A lot of that success has come from a stifling defense. The offense, on the other hand, has struggled for the most part. Now, injuries to players like Ben Roethlisberger, Juju Smith-Schuster and James Conner are certainly a part of those struggles. And speaking of Conner, after […]

Now in his third year as an Indianapolis Colt, former Ohio State Buckeye Malik Hooker is a key cog on an improved defense. The 6-foot-2, 213-pound safety has proven to be the right pick at No. 15 in the 2017 NFL Draft, as he’s been a focal point to a shored up secondary. With that […]

As the NFL becomes increasingly infatuated with the passing game, defenses are prioritizing interior pressure, and the 2019 Draft class is filled with many excellent defensive tackles. While Quinnen Williams and Ed Oliver headline the group, there will be good value to be found later on. Ohio State’s Dre’Mont Jones began the pre-draft process as […]

Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Dwayne Haskins is considered one of the top prospects heading into next month’s NFL Draft, and Lance Zierlein of NFL.com has a comparison for Haskins: Drew Bledsoe.

Shelley Meyer is by no means a household name, but her comments carry some weight in the realm of college football. Her husband is Ohio State Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer, which naturally puts her in the limelight, unfortunately whether she wants it to or not. That limelight has now put in her a bit of […]

Week 7 of the college football season featured no top 25 matchups, but that doesn’t mean it was a dull weekend.

There’s something new that is bothering Urban Meyer these days. […]

The Ohio State Buckeyes have given head coach Urban Meyer a huge raise. “But they don’t have enough money to pay the kids.” Said someone who realizes how silly all of this is.

Ohio State Buckeyes gunslinger JT Barrett was coming under a lot of fire this week. Some, the uneducated, believed it to be time for Urban Meyer to bench the electric talent. Those people are dopes.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Even heavier? The college football coach who put colleagues on blast for making excuses, but then hurls an entire position under the bus.

Oklahoma Sooners talent Baker Mayfield apparently holds a grudge. Last season, the Ohio State Buckeyes celebrated on Oklahoma’s field after beating the Sooners.

When the game was over, […]

The Ohio State Buckeyes appreciate the Big Ten Conference television deal and all, but just not that much.

The Oklahoma Sooners will face the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. This is a pretty big game, even if it is still incredibly early in the college football season.

LeBron James has often teased that if he were to have played college basketball, he would have done it for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
