Game Thread THE GAME: #1 tOSU at tCun, Sat. Nov. 29th, 12 pm ET, FOX

Somebody tell Day that he doesn't have to win by running the ball! Heck, couldn't do it with Treyvion and Quinshon, and this year's RBs are not of that caliber. Take what the D gives you, and spread them out by flooding the field with WRs. Hopefully the communication between Smith and Tate and Sayin is still 'fresh' and working after the WR layoffs. Rely on the D, and send the house to rattle Underwood. Keep Reese keyed on Underwood, so he cannot squeeze through without getting his helmet rattled (PS, in no way am condoning targeting). Stop the run game, and force Underwood to beat us through the air. Will let our superior DBs overwhelm their WRs, and maybe get 2-3 pick sixes to punctuate the game. 35-9.
I was thinking of using Sonny Styles as a Spy on Underpants.

Was 2014-2018 the best 5-year stretch or are we in it now?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Was 2014-2018 the best five-year stretch in Ohio State football history? A national championship, wins in the Rose, Cotton, Fiesta and Sugar Bowls and a 62-7 record.

Or are we in it now? 2021-2025: A national championship, 2 Rose Bowl wins, a Cotton Bowl win, a 58-8 record with more forthcoming this year?

OT Austin Siereveld, Captain (National Champion)

Just sayin': There's a reason why Ohio State is currently 11-0 and #1 in the polls (after a season where 14 players where selected by NFL teams). A lot of players that didn't start last season have really stepped up and contributed in big way as a starter and that list definitely includes Austin Siereveld.

Deaths Of Notable Sports Figures (R.I.P.)

Fuzzy Zoeller, 1984 U.S. Open Champion, Dies at 74

1000-02159J.jpg


rank Urban “Fuzzy” Zoeller Jr., who won two major titles in playoffs, including the 1984 U.S. Open, died on Nov. 27 at the age of 74.

"Fuzzy was one of a kind," said USGA CEO Mike Whan. "We are grateful for all he gave to golf. I hope we can all remember his unmistakable joy. The USGA is sending our deepest condolences to his family and friends."

Born and raised in New Albany, Ind., Zoeller received his nickname thanks to the initials of his first, middle and last names. He later played his collegiate golf at the University of Houston, then a Division I juggernaut, before turning professional in 1973. Six years later he became just the second golfer to win the Masters in his first appearance, following Gene Sarazen who did so in 1935. Then 27, Zoeller was tied with Tom Watson and Ed Sneed after 72 holes.

In the first sudden-death playoff at Augusta National, all three players began with pars on the 10th hole. After Sneed and Watson made par on the second playoff hole, Zoeller faced a 6-foot birdie putt to win the title. He memorably flung his putter high in the air after the ball dropped in the hole. “I’ve never been to heaven, and thinking back on my life, I probably won’t get a chance to go,” Zoeller once said. “I guess winning the Masters is as close as I’m going to get.”

In 1984, the 32-year-old Zoeller was making his eighth U.S. Open appearance when the championship was contested on the iconic West Course of Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y. After shooting a 1-over par 71 in the first round, Zoeller fired a 66 on Friday, leaving him one stroke behind leader Hale Irwin, winner of the 1974 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. The leaderboard remained the same after Round 3, when Zoeller and Irwin both shot 69. Also shooting 69 on Saturday was Australian Greg Norman, who moved into third place, two strokes behind Irwin and one behind Zoeller.
