Heck, the pass that got them to mid field on that last drive should have been knocked down too. Lucky ass throw and catch.

There were a million little things that led to the end but ultimately it was still blatantly taken away from WMU in front of our eyes.

I woke up still pissed off. That was a LOSS. The fact THAT school is the one that keeps evading what they deserve makes me lose my mind.

My expert prediction, because even theu van only absorb so much bad juju.

Is iowa getting 3 fgs and a safety?

The statement from the B1G is insulting. Fuck off. The sport I once loved above all others has been ruined by money and puppeteers jockeying to get their "name programs" a seat at the table. Fuck this sport. I hope the whole house of cards collapses in on itself.

You can still get Oklahoma -5.5. That's insane

So... how many games can you think of that had controversial clock-keeping? If you don't count games involving the cheaters, I can think of 2 pretty quickly: Alabama-Auburn in about 2013 (the "Kick-6"), and about 2008 or so, Nebraska played Texas in the Big-12 championship game, and there was question about whether there was 1 second left. And by "controversial", I simply mean that there was discussion on whether there should be 1 second left. I think the officials got both right in the end. But that's not my point.

How about if we include games with the cheaters, I can throw out 4 more games:
1. 2001 or 2002 - Michigan State just happened to have a guy named "Sparty Bob" running their clock. There was question over whether there should be 1 second left or if he stopped the clock too soon. I think it was determined that he got it right.
2. 2005 - Cheaters were driving to score winning touchdown against Penn State. With 31 seconds left, Llllllllloyd called timeout, but they took 2 more seconds off. He complained, and the refs agreed - put 2 more seconds back on the clock. With 1 second left, they scored the winning touchdown. I think the referees were right, which helped Ohio State, but it makes me feel sick to defend the cheaters.
3. 1997 - The cheaters are beating Washington State in the Rose Bowl by about 5. Washington State needs a couple of miracles to win it. They threw deep, which got them to about the 50. They run up to the line, spike it, and then you see 1-2 more seconds ticking down to zero. Washington State should have had 1 more play. It would have been another miracle, but they got boned out of a try.
4. Last night.

I understand that Ohio State lost to Sparty in the mid-70s from a controversial call with the clock. But still, that's only 3 non-TTUN games compared to 4 TTUN games that I could come up with.

Is this going to be on highlight reels? "Best plays of 2026!!!" How can you celebrate a play that shouldn't have been? And everyone knows it.

The real question is... Is ball state better than Western Michigan

Silver lining to UM getting a win last night, they will forever have to defend needing a miracle hail Mary gifted to them on a questionable review to beat a MAC school they were favored to beat by 4 touchdowns. They were so happy about this accomplishment, they rushed the field. Then again, these are the same fans that celebrate connor stations, so they are probably not self aware enough to understand their own stupidity.

Side note, if they are going to review when the play was dead, they should also review when the clock started for the play.

College students aren’t supposed to be playing or competing in the upper echelons of the pro tennis circuit however seems like no one told that to a couple Buckeye students
Today Carpico and Filin in the second round of the prestigious Us open grand slam men’s doubles tournament will drop their first set, win the 2nd in a breaker then,
In crunch time when amateurs typically fade, they post a third set victory to advance to the third round !

Just a few brief notes....

1. Ohio State had three TD drives of 90+ yards, and also had TD drives of 83 yards and 75 yards.

2. Ohio State had four explosive TDs (20+ yards) on offense: receptions of 25 yards (Legend Bey) and 48 yards (Jeremiah Smith), and runs of 49 yards (Ja'Kobi Jackson) and 65 yards (Bo Jackson). The last time that the Buckeyes had four explosive scores in the same game was against Oregon (and also Tennessee) in the 2024 Playoffs.

3. Five players scored their first Buckeye touchdowns: Ja'Kobi Jackson (run of 49 yards); Legend Bey (reception of 25 yards); Devin McCuin (reception of 17 yards); Chris Henry Jr (reception of 15 yards); and Julian Sayin (run of 3 yards).

We've gone from "we've never seen a freshmen like this" to the DFBIA openly rooting for Underwood to completely implode and for OU to embarrass them so Underwood can he benched for Carr.

Michigan's lawyers should be going over Bryce Underwood's NIL contract to see how they can get out of it and move on from him next year. He was ass last year and he continues to be ass. No improvements.

I disagree. They should give him more NIL.

It's pretty funny Bey clearly has some maturing to do on and off the field but the coaches are like "god damn man when this guy gets the football I dont know what to tell you"

Not that it means much in the long run but AP voters should drop Michigan out of the top 25 next week, nobody should recognize this result as legitimate.

i made 2026 torrent put a few in someone took it dowm so i give up

I dont understand why people are criticizing Henry for the pick. The ball was tipped. If the play is on anyone its on Fahey for throwing into coverage

NO WHERE ELSE TO POST.

Pessimistically, I expected to see a bland predominantly rushing offense that ignored the strength of our passing game. I was enormously relieved that this wasn’t the case at all. I liked the pass/run mix and Smith showed us, and Tejas, that he’s not afraid to throw downfield. Critically, even though it was against Ball State, the offense never had that janky pulling plays out of jar one at a time quality that we’ve seen even against outmatched teams. So far, I’m a fan.

That being said, I thought our run game sucked… against Ball State. Two big runs in the second half doesn’t/shouldn’t cancel out that other than that neither Jackson looked like he should be RB1 or 2; and Jakobi’s pass “blocking” was abhorrent. What we saw yesterday, from the line, as well, in the running game will not get it done next week.

Stock up report for Ohio State after beating Ball State​

Khary Wilder​

The true freshman defensive lineman flashed early for Ohio State and looked like a player who is going to have a role on the defensive line this season. Wilder generated a couple of pressures and was even rushing from the interior on some passing downs. It was a great day for him as the Buckeyes look for someone to be the No. 2 pass rusher opposite Kenyatta Jackson. Perhaps Wilder could be that guy.

Luke Fahey looks to have won the backup job over Tavien St. Clair​

A lot of the chatter over the last few weeks centered on a legitimate quarterback competition for the backup spot behind Sayin. The expectation was that Tavien St. Clair still held that job. He’s a former 5-star recruit and one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 class, and he already had a full year in the program under his belt.

That’s what makes Saturday’s development so notable. It wasn’t St. Clair who entered the game as Ohio State’s No. 2 quarterback. It was freshman Luke Fahey.

Login to view embedded media
Fahey has been a bright spot in Ohio State’s freshman class this past offseason, and he asserted himself as a real competitor in the quarterback room throughout fall camp. Listed at just 5-foot-11, Fahey doesn’t fit the prototypical size profile, but his play earned him the opportunity over a player with more experience and recruiting pedigree. Fahey finished 5-of-7 for 62 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and one interception on a Chris Henry Jr. drop.

Even if the backup quarterback job isn’t fully solidified at this point, Fahey clearly owns the lead in that race. For him to leapfrog St. Clair is a significant statement about where things stand in that room.
