51-7 or worse this week.

JJ probably only plays a half. Need Henry, Mcuin, Inniss and White Lightning to have their best games going forward. Oline build on this week's good performance. Needs to be moving towards great quickly.

We've also got this 1 last week to fix the run fits, the shitty tackling and the ridiculous mental mistakes on Defense. After this week they'll cost us wins. Get it fixed! Pass rush was a hell of a lot better this week but still not great either.

Ohio State Dominates No. 14 Iowa, 31-14, to Start October with Statement Win​

Login to view embedded media
Ohio State started its monster month of October with a statement win on the road.

The Buckeyes dominated No. 14 Iowa at Kinnick Stadium, 31-14, to earn their first road win and first ranked win of the season.
In its first trip to Iowa City since its 55-24 loss to the Hawkeyes in 2017, Ohio State got revenge in blowout fashion. Another record-setting day by Jeremiah Smith led the Buckeyes to victory, as Smith became Ohio State’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving touchdowns in the process of catching 11 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns, also making him the first-ever Ohio State receiver with back-to-back 200-yard games.

With the win, the fifth-ranked Buckeyes improved to 4-1 on the season and 2-0 in Big Ten play, starting their toughest month of the 2026 season exactly the way they needed to.

Key Moments​

Q1, 14:19: Buckeyes force fumble on second play​

The Buckeyes got the ball in the red zone just two plays into the game when Kenyatta Jackson Jr. strip-sacked Hank Brown and Christian Alliegro recovered the ball at the 14-yard line.

Q1, 13:24: McCuin scores 15-yard touchdown​

Ohio State scored its first touchdown of the game on just its second offensive play as Iowa left Devin McCuin wide open over the middle of the field and Julian Sayin, with plenty of time to throw, found him for a 15-yard score.

9 plays, 84 yards, 1:36

I don’t even know what to make of that stat. It’s like it’s a completely different team in those last 2 minutes. They can look uninspired and disinterested for the first 28 minutes and then suddenly flip a switch.

Just sayin': It would be interesting to know if the opposition changed their defense alignment for our final drives of the 1st halves. Did they go into some form of the so called "prevent defense*" and have it backfire on them?

*The prevent defense is a football strategy that p[laces extra defensive backs deep downfield to stop long touchdowns and run out the clock, even if it means giving up short, easy gains.

How It Works
    • Deep Alignment: Cornerbacks and safeties line up far behind the line of scrimmage, acting as a final safety net so no receiver can get behind them.
    • Fewer Pass Rushers: The defense rushes only three or four linemen, keeping more players back in pass coverage (often called umbrella coverage).
    • Trading Yards for Time: The defense willingly allows short passes or runs in exchange for the offense wasting precious seconds and staying in bounds

Ohio State is a 35-Point Favorite Over Maryland​

Ohio State's second Big Ten home game isn't expected to be a close one.

The Buckeyes have opened as 37.5-point favorites over Maryland, a number that has fallen to 35.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook and 34.5 on FanDuel.

Ohio State is 4-1 on the season and also 4-1 against the spread, including 2-1 ATS at home. The only time the Buckeyes haven't covered this season was in their 42-19 win over Illinois in Week 4, a game OSU was favored by 25.5 points.

Maryland, meanwhile, is 2-3 on the season and 2-3 ATS, including 1-1 ATS on the road. The Terrapins have not covered in each of their last three games (all losses) after covering the spread in (and winning) their first two games of the season.

In Week 4, Maryland lost to UCLA, 54-3, in a game the Terrapins were only 1.5-point underdogs. The 49.5-point swing is one of the largest in history. Maryland has lost 10 straight Big Ten games after winning their conference opener over Wisconsin on Sept. 20, 2025.

The over/under opened at 54.5 points overnight, which quickly rose to 55.5 points, where it currently stands.

Just sayin': That comes out to around a 45 -10 Ohio State win......:boogie:

Improving but I hated those calls early in the 3rd on 3rd and 1. Don't get the first and turns the ball over on downs. Bad play calling sometimes. Smith has to quit being too cute.
Click to expand...
Yep, I was all "3rd and 1, our nemesis" and everyone started to question me. I said, "just wait, we're probably chucking a 40 yard pass down the sideline." And that's what happened. Then on 4th and 1 I said "well, this will probably fail, too, because we can't be bothered to take the snap under center."....

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

calibuck
Yeah, recognize that. See that these kids communicate online with peers and/or others that have or are considering certain colleges. And maybe what other schools are offering via NIL. And/or teambuilding with other commits. Having 'the gang' for a sleepover during an unofficial visit (the official ones get put up in nice hotels-still the Black****?). Takes a special kinda of parent to host 4-10 recruits for 2-3 days. My house wouldn't be large enough certainly, but would enjoy doing it. Truly a bonding experience with recruits from other states, positions, walks-of-life etc. That's all intended to say.

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

Tanner
I think it make sense for him to come back. His physical traits are what they are, they aren't going to get better. So he obviously is going to have to depend on experience, intelligence, processing etc. I think it would help him getting as much experience as possible before he goes into the league. Look at Purdy, who is his most obvious comparison, he threw almost 1500 passes at Iowa State. I think that helped him. Not to mention, this is a pretty loaded QB class and he's not going to be one of the top guys picked, so there's a good chance he'd make more money staying another year anyway.
