That’s the biggest difference between Portnoy and McAfee - Portnoy just screams and trolls, he has no charm. He’s way too combative for mainstream tv. Unable to provide legitimate analytics and respectful discord with athletes, coaches, and colleagues on counter arguments. He’s too arrogant for a couple-hour-long segment. Taking away my bias, he still has no redeeming qualities to draw in audiences, and it’s why he’s more successful on quick Twitter rants.

3. S Jaylen McClain (78.3)​

With a season tackling grade of 90.7, McClain leads the Big Ten and is ranked fourth in the nation in this category. He is just shy of being No. 1 in the nation, as a pair of North Texas players have the top spot with a grade of 91.0.

2. DE Kenyatta Jackson Jr. (82.5)​

Jackson earned a pass-rushing grade of 90.8 against Iowa, the highest for any player in the Big Ten. The defensive end forced a fumble on a 13-yard sack on the second play of the game, backing up his words after he said the Buckeye defense would bounce back from a “terrible” performance against Illinois.

RB Ja’Kobi Jackson (Official Thread)

brodybuck21

JA'KO(R)B1​

His stat line never leaps off the page but there's no arguing Ja'kobi Jackson runs the ball like a rabid dog. The dude gets downhill quick, seemingly always falls forward and I have to believe the offensive line feeds off it.

Oh and he also had at least one really solid blitz pickup as he stoned a linebacker in the hole. He's not a receiving threat and I'm not sure he has many game-breaking home runs in his holster but at this point, he feels like RB1.

He carried it 14 times for 72 yards yesterday, good for 5.1 a pop, against an Iowa defense that was allowing around 2.7 entering the game. None of his carries went for negative yardage.

As nearly all of us expected Bo Jackson and Isaiah West to be the 1-2 punch in OSU's backfield, it's Ja'Kobi that seems best suited for the B1G grind at the moment. Props to the veteran for coming in and carving out a meaningful role.

Also, as much as Bo Jackson drives me insane because I don't feel he's maximizing his talent the way Ja'Kobi is, Bo was indeed a solid contributor again yesterday with 16 carries for 70 yards (4.4) meaning the Jackson 2 combined for 30 carries and 142 yards (4.7 ypc). It's not as sexy as we've gotten used to around here but that's not a bad day of work on the road against a physical defense.

SAYIN STEPS UP​

Julian Sayin used his arm and his legs for the second straight week and Ohio State's offense felt the boost from it once again as the signal caller went off.

In his 9th-career 300-yard passing game, Sayin completed 20-of-27 throws (a few drops in there) for 324 yards and three scores. He also showed impressive mobility in the pocket as he was frequently under duress. When he wasn't buying time to throw, Sayin recorded four different runs of at least five yards. Many of those kept OSU's offense on schedule even as passing plays broke down.

All of this was on display as Ohio State's offense trotted on the field nursing a 10-6 with 1:48 left in the second quarter. Sayin engineered a statement 9-play, 84-yard touchdown drive completing 3-of-4 passes for 38 yards and a touchdown but even more important, he recorded a nifty 7-yard scramble on 1st-and-10 and on the following snap, he audibled at the line to what became a 16-yard Bo Jackson run to the Iowa 18. Two plays later, he found Jeremiah underneath and 4 did the rest as he stretched the ball just over the goal line giving OSU a 17-6 lead with a mere 12 ticks left in the half. (Pretty sure Ohio State's offense has scored a touchdown with under 30 seconds in the first half in each game so far this season.)

Iowa fans felt like they were firmly in the game before that drive but knowing OSU was also set to receive the ball to start the second half, you could hear a bit of the air leave Kinnick. The Buckeyes wouldn't score on their first two possessions of the second half but on the third, still leading 17-6, Sayin took a 2nd-and-5 snap and immediately felt pressure up the gut. Instead of ducking for a sack, he calmly sidestepped the free rusher and fired a strike to Jeremiah for the 57-yard score and a 24-6 lead with 6:11 left in the third quarter.

Everyone will remember that play as Jeremiah's record breaking touchdown, and rightfully so, but it also captured how far Sayin has come with pocket presence and footwork. Couple that with the added muscle gained in the offseason and his effective if not pretty scrambles the last few weeks and his game is rounding into form just in time for stiffer tests ahead.

2026 tOSU Special Teams Discussion

MAYBE NO ST COACH WAS THE BETTER MOVE​

What do you even say about Ohio State special teams at this point? Hopes of the unit not being a raging dumpster fire for the umpteenth consecutive season were high after Day hired an actual special teams coach - with some prior success, no less - to come in and right that ship.

Through five games, that ship is still largely taking on water.

My favorite play yesterday had to be a punt from the OSU 45 all the way to the... Iowa 22. A 33-yard punt from midfield with no rush to disrupt the kick. Joe McGuire doesn't have enough punts to qualify for the CFB stats leaderboard but his average of 41.3 would slot about 58th right now.

The OSU punt team also got flagged for 12 men on the field (or maybe it was a false start) before a McGuire attempt.

Placekicker Connor Hawkins hasn't been bad for Ohio State, connecting on 5-of-7 field goal tries and both misses have from from 40+ yards but it doesn't feel like a coincidence the two misses came in OSU's two biggest games so far. His doink on a 40-yarder yesterday came with some pressure as the Buckeyes led 10-6 in the second quarter.

On punt return, an Iowa punt landed at the 17 and rolled to the 2 after the Hawkeyes purposely took a delay of game to give Boston Everitt more room to work with. Flawless execution.

I'm sure other bad stuff happened but I'm tired of thinking about it.

2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

brodybuck21

DEFENSIVE LINE'S OFF THE MILK CARTON​

Heading into yesterday's clash, Ohio State's defensive line had been maybe the most underwhelming position group on the roster. Ryan Day challenged the room, bemoaning the lack of actual production, and Larry Johnson's unit stepped up big time against the Hawkeyes.

Defensive end Qua Russaw came out of nowhere to finish second on the team with five stops while adding 1.5 TFL and a sack. Fellow DE Zion Grady returned from injury to add four stops. Reserve DE Beau Atkinson recorded a hurry. Cornerstone DE Kenyatta Jackson Jr. chipped in one tackle, a sack, a TFL and a forced fumble to set up Ohio State's first score.

On the interior, Eddrick Houston played maybe his best game as a Buckeye with four stops and a pair of hurries. James Smith had a stop and a PBU. John Walker had two hurries and Jason Moore added a hurry, too.

Overall, three of Ohio State's top four tacklers on the afternoon came from the defensive line and seven of those guys had at least a TFL, sack, hurry or PBU. That's doing work right there.

With the defensive line creating havoc, Iowa managed 39 rushing yards on 1.9 per carry and starting QB Hank Brown completed only 12-of-27 throws for 132 yards and a pick.
