That Allen guy must be the next Walter Payton looking at the ststs. And, as much as I loved him on Bucks, Judkins isn’t it in the NFL. We desperately need a power back

A QBR under 70 against the Jets. Wow just pathetic

Ironically feeling better about my prediction about this unit being a Top 5 defense come the end of the year. Hell they will have a shot at being the best when it’s all said and done. Had a feeling they’d get exposed like 2024 did against Oregon before Day forced Knowles to play defense like a sane person. They held up though for three quarters against one of the most talented offenses in the country. Think this will be a dominant unit by the end of the year.

Well they're already a Top 5 unit according to college football stats so they've arrived early! Not sure they'll ever be dominant but I think they'll still be very good. Will absolutely be a lights out unit next year though.

Eddrick Houston Credits Mentality Switch To Recently Improved Play: “I Want to Be the Best 3-Tech in the Nation”​

Eddrick Houston got into the backfield often against Iowa, and each time he did, he flexed his muscles in celebration.

A week later, he screamed out of his spot on the defensive interior against Maryland, once again getting to the backfield at will and letting everyone around him know he was having his way.

The defensive tackle got off to a slow start in 2026, notching only three total tackles in the first four games. Now, he’s making a big impact, tallying four total tackles in each of the last two games.

“Just intensity, and being able to lock in a little bit more than what I was before,” Houston said postgame about what has changed for him.

Houston credited his improved play to a change in his mentality.

"My mindset has changed — I feel like my mindset has just changed in general," Houston said. "From where I was to now, I want to be the best 3-tech in the nation."

What caused his mentality to shift?

"You guys," Houston said with a slight smirk, referring to the media as he scanned his gaze to the press who surrounded him in the back of Ohio State's media room.

"Just me knowing I can do better for y'all," Houston said about the media.

Houston didn't say whether he had receipts of the media saying things about him that could have led to his retort. But something clearly resonated with him for him to bring up reporters as part of his answer to what inspired a change for him.

But the other part of his answer, and this one is certainly more important, is worth noting.

“Not just (the media), but my team also,” Houston said. “They need me. So I'm glad I'm able to step up like I have been these couple of weeks.”

"We're challenging guys to maximize everything that they have. And I thought he showed a lot of things (against Iowa) that were very encouraging. And so now the challenge for him is to consistently do it over and over again, week after week," Ryan Day said of Houston Wednesday after practice. "Because that's what being great is, and everybody comes here to be great. That's the challenge now, that competitive stamina, the ability to play at that level week in and week out for the entire game ... I think he played some good football this past week. So that was encouraging, and certainly had a lot to do with our win and our ability to stop the run."

When asked if he's playing angry right now, Houston replied, "Oh yeah, from the first snap to the last one."

That anger and internal motivation are amplifying his own play and the play of the entire defensive line around him. But he's not satisfied.

"I got another gear, and I'm going to keep working week in and week out to get better and better," Houston said.

Is their OL legit this bad? Holy shit.

I think CJ completely revitalizes him and he can then compliment Nico very well. Texans should pull the trigger

Everyone hates him for good reason but Watson is playing pretty damn good ball.

Well, the NFL doesn’t lack for unpredictability…, although it’s weird to imply that Browns fuckery is something other than predictable.

Not watching other than checking on the score app, but this team better get a better rush defense and a couple offensive linemen who aren’t slow and fat! And that Verse fella hasn’t done diddly dick so far in Cleveland

No Austin or/and Daniel’s struggle. JJ 4 catches forget it.

Anyone going to be in Denver for this game? I see Hayter’s is the alumni watch bar but haven’t been there since I’m from out of town. Was supposed to watch with someone but he bailed on all our plans for that weekend.

I'm in Colorado Springs, and the Buffalo Wild Wings near me usually hosts a Buckeye watch party. I've been once, but it's a solid group of fans, if you were to make the drive.
