Well, there are several ways to look at Ohio State's 21-17 win over Nebraska on Saturday. You can try to think positively, as coach Ryan Day did afterward when he unconvincingly noted how happy he was that his Buckeyes had found a way to win a close game. Or you could see it as a […]

You probably have questions after college football's big-money Jeff Bezos eked out a 21-17 win over Minimum Pay Nebraska in the Shoe on Saturday – a close decision that threatened to end Ohio State coach Ryan Day's 43-game winning streak against unranked teams. I also have questions. Luckily, I have answers too. I call this […]

As the pass floated toward Jordan Hancock, it seemed like it would hang in the air forever. “It (felt) like it took us 20 seconds to get there, even though it was only two seconds,” Hancock said. It probably felt that way in part because Hancock was playing safety against Nebraska on Saturday and not […]

The loss on the road to Oregon two weeks ago was one thing. An upset at home against Nebraska would have turned out very differently.

That's exactly what awaited No. 4 Ohio State in the fourth quarter on Saturday in front of 104,832 increasingly […]

Ohio State could have easily gotten rid of Nebraska, but instead the Cornhuskers responded like a buried tire that keeps rising to the surface. The Buckeyes' running game was non-existent in their risky 21-17 win at the Horseshoe. The defense came under some pressure on Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola (three sacks) and made stops when […]

EUGENE, Ore. – Ohio State's top defense was a mirage. The Buckeyes were exposed by Oregon on Saturday night. In a match between the No. 2 Buckeyes and the No. 3 Ducks that lived up to its expectations, OSU's defense failed, resulting in a 32-31 loss in front of a deafening crowd of 60,129 at […]

How OSU fared after the 32-31 Big Ten loss at Oregon

October 13, 2024 | angela | Leave a Comment

A game between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Oregon lived up to expectations and went to the finish in a wild atmosphere. The Ducks won 32-31 and many won't be surprised to see these teams meet again in the postseason. Losses hurt, but they are not season-deciding this year because 12 teams make […]

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Disappointment with the Iowa football program will drop to a 10 out of 10 in this one. As 19-point underdogs, a loss to third-place Ohio State was expected. But appearing vastly outnumbered in the national spotlight once again has become a record-breaking event. The Hawkeyes couldn't get star running back Kaleb Johnson […]
