Just sayin': Well, for starters Micah Parrish (Senior), Ques Glover (Senior), and Meechie Johnson (quit team) definitely won't be back. I'll also say Kalen Etzler (who has been here 4 years; but redshirted one) won't be back either.

Can Ohio State return the "core players", i.e. Bruce Thornton, Devin Royal, Evan Mahaffey, and John Mobley? I'll say that they also want to keep Ivan Njegovan, Colin White, Taison Chatman, and Austin Parks all who have potential to develop and be significant contributors.

Just the fact that they finished 2024/2025 2-5 and declined the Las Vegas tournament leads me to believe that there was some unhappiness/disenstion on the team. Does Bruce thornton go pro? Do any of the above transfer out?

The other big questions are:

1) What about Aaron Bradshaw and Sean Stewart. They were major disappointments considering the amount of NIL money they probably received, etc. I'm guessing that they just hit the transfer portial again this year.

2) Can Diebler get some impact players for 2025/2026 out of the portial?

The Houston Texans have agreed to trade starting right tackle Tytus Howard to the Cleveland Browns for a fifth-round draft pick, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Howard will receive a three-year, $63 million extension from the Browns, his agent told Schefter.

... As a tackle, Howard ranked 52nd out of 68 qualifying tackles in pass block win rate and 49nd in run block win rate.

WTF.. $21M/yr for someone who ranks at the lowest tier

Kentucky should have ended Auburn but the refs got involved at the end helping Auburn to the win. I am still ticked off over that one.

That said Auburn just needs to lose 1 of their final 2 with that 2nd game being at Bama and they are finished as no 16 loss team has ever got a NCAA at large bid.

Cal took that same horrific loss Ohio State did against a terrible Pitt team the only difference is they did it at home and they got smoked and it was when it mattered more in timing.

Got the sweep yesterday 4-1. All of the scoring was by our trio of Swedish Olympians.

We get Minnesota in the knockout round this coming weekend. Wiscy gets an easier path since Minny State upset UM-Duluth this weekend.

Auburn and Cal who are both right at the brink as well both losing at home to bad teams yesterday gave us a big boost along with us winning this game today. Avoiding a loss to Penn State is really the crucial thing at this point as that would knock us back down to that level.
