I will say if he is anything like the Argentine football team, he will be the team leader in flagrant fouls.

If he decks a TCUN player I'll buy his jersey, no hesitation.

Dude's a beast, for sure. But your point about taking hits is valid.

Friedl and Hayes get back-to-back hits, and you'd think that would be the entire statement. But it's not. Elly then hits... into a double play to end the inning.

Elly seems to be hitting the same wall that he did last season when he wouldn't take the day off. Hits are way down and the errors up the past several weeks. Can't remember the last time he got a hit from the left side of the plate.

Sad as hell.

Geesh totally forgot about this stud! Man we are LOADED.

Yeah I have to admit I think the concerns are overblown too. We gave up 5 sacks all year until the final 2 games.

We struggled vs the movement of IU and the ran into 2 first round DEs vs Miami. Those just weren’t the best DLs we played but they were 2 of the best.

Throw in a first year OC, a true freshman RB and a QB that went unchallenged all year? It’s no surprise the offense struggled

I’m still a huge believer in TSC and think he will start next year. I’ve also been vocal in this thread that I really wanted Brady in this class and think he’s an elite passer. I couldn’t be happier with TSC, Edmunds and Vargas in the pipeline.

It's not a knock on TSC. It's a knock on my never-ending love of hating on moron "fans"....

That's a helluva opinion, especially from one of the northmen. I hate to say it, but I like butt. :)

Ohio State football leader’s comment on one Buckeye freshman is all you’ll need to hear to know how good he’ll be​

Ohio State Buckeyes CB Jermaine Mathews Jr.’s comment on an Ohio State freshman all but tells how good he’s going to be in Columbus.

Brock Boyd is making noise weeks ahead of the season​

Brian Hartline did Ohio State one last big favor before leaving, and that was bringing in the class of 2026 to Columbus, headlined by 5-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. Henry isn’t the only freshman catching attention during fall camp, though. Back in the spring, it was Brock Boyd, the former 3-star recruit from Texas, who was the most talked-about freshman because of how quickly he hit the ground running in Columbus, andit’s still the case

Senior cornerback Jermaine Mathews Jr. was asked about Boyd on Thursday, and he didn’t hold back.

“Brock is just, shi*, Brock is different,” Mathews stated on Thursday. “I don’t know, It’s something about Brock. He’s different, I love Brock.

When it comes to the freshman class as a whole, Mathews is very high on them.

“I really like all the receivers. The freshmen, they’re probably the best freshman players I’ve ever seen. Freshman, they are nice. Receivers are always going to be receivers here. I’ve done seen a lot of them coming through here. I think they just give us work every day. They’re just special,” Mathews added.

Brock Boyd’s role could be there Day 1​

Boyd is a 6-foot-1, 196-pound receiver who is going to play for the Buckeyes this year, likely out of the slot. Even if it starts as a depth role, he’s going to get on the field. He’s made that much clear already early in his Ohio State tenure. Despite not being a coveted recruit, Hartline pushed to flip him from his commitment to TCU, and we’re seeing why now.

Henry, Boyd, and fellow freshman Jerquaeden Guilford are all going to be a huge part of Ohio State’s receiver room going forward. If it’s not this year, then next year. Hartline went out with a strong final class in Columbus, and Boyd wasn’t a headliner name coming in. His teammates are speaking out about him now, though, and that’s worth paying attention to.

Former Ohio State OL George Fitzpatrick still dealing with a medical emergency​

According to Wildcats head coach Collin Klein, Fitzpatrick is still not medically cleared to play. Therefore, he will miss the entire 2026 season. In fact, in his announcement, it sounds like Fitzpatrick might not be able to continue playing football since he hasn't hit certain benchmarks.

"Because of the timing of his not clearing some of these benchmarks, for his best interest and his health, the doctors have recommended that he not play this season. Football is still not out of the question in his future by any stretch, but his long-term health and safety have always been at the forefront."

This guy has the ability to sure keep the locker room lose.....

Just start fast, get the starters out, and play depth for 2.5 quarters.

Hopefully it’s not like Akron from 2024 where we start slow and play with our food a bit.

Smart guy. Let his Dad tout his kid. After all that's what we fathers do! Keep your mouth shut, and anything you say won't end up twisted, and insinuating something completely out of context.

One would think that Arch, with the influx of talented portal players, and a solid D to go against, would in fact improve his lot. Got nothing for Underwood, so there's that. But Texas has a stout team, and even with a black jersey on, should have improved a bunch. His name is still gonna garner some big time consideration, but we'll see how Patricia schemes against Arch's proclivities. Go Bucks! Predict 31-10 tOSU.

Well, guess that the pundits wouldn't get any views if they wrote Tennesse recruit probably signing with Buckeyes. Heck, I wouldn't bother if it was other way around.....soooo they put their best face, and best spin on the article. As we've found out, doesn't have to be accurate, but should at least have a smidge of truth. But do notice Pops said 'more than likely to sign' with the good guys. But might want to put some money in Vegas on the good guys winning.

Another little nugget about a surprise player. When asked about the DL, and who was standing out, the first player that LB Christian Alliegro mentions in a interview, was Will Smith Jr.

I love it when a plan comes together.

New Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris shoots armadillo in yard​

Pistols Firing: OSU's Morris kills armadillo in yard

"My brain's going constantly and so ... I don't sleep very well," he said Tuesday. "I've had a couple of armadillo problems tearing up my lawn. Finally, a couple of days ago I just popped up at 2:30 [a.m.] because I couldn't sleep and I thought it was a great opportunity for me to go outside and luckily I found him."

It was the first encounter with an armadillo for Morris, who said it "was crushing my yard, my flower beds, digging everything up."

Morris made quick work of the animal and gave new meaning to "Pistols Firing," a popular slogan and hand gesture used by Oklahoma State fans and teams.

"Had to send a text message to my neighbors," he said. "I apologized for the gunshot. I am in the country, so it was legal. But I did get rid of him."

Just sayin': Critters tearing up your yard....
