Fair point. On the other end I don't see how anyone is expecting Arch to carve up our secondary either though. This game likely will come down to which young QB doesn't make the back breaking mistake.

Yep.

And whoever said bet the under, be careful. Mistake prone young QB’s can fuck an under quicker than a jack rabbit on a date.

CB Jermaine Mathews, Jr. (National Champion)

ScriptOhio

Jermaine Mathews Jr. is embracing his role as a starter and leader for Ohio State this season​

The cornerback’s role will expand in his junior season after totaling the most snaps of any non-starter on defense last season.

Since 2015, Ohio State has seen 11 cornerbacks selected in the NFL Draft. The last two of those corners to be selected were Jordan Hancock and

Denzel Burke, who both were drafted in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft in April.
One Buckeye who will be looking to step into the spot vacated by Burke in the secondary is Jermaine Mathews Jr., who is entering his third season in Columbus.The cornerback from Winton Woods in the Cincinnati area has seen his role on defense increase in each of his first two seasons in the scarlet and gray.

As a true freshman, Mathews didn’t take long to make an impact. Not only did Mathews record his first interception of his college career in the non-conference game against Western Kentucky in 2023, he returned it 58 yards for a touchdown in the blowout win over the Hilltoppers. In his first collegiate season, Mathews recorded 13 tackles and defended four passes.

Even though Mathews didn’t record an interception last season as a sophomore, he was still a contributing member of Ohio State’s secondary. Along with recording 22 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss, Mathews notched the first sack of his career in the win over Iowa. Later in the season against Northwestern, Mathews set a career-high with four tackles. There were three other games in 2024 where Mathews finished with three tackles.

For the record, I agree with those who are expecting a tight game at best vs Texas. The Buckeyes are notoriously slow-starting under Day, and anyone who remembers Stroud's first half at Minnesota can tell you that even a future NFL ROY is likely to struggle out of the gate (and that was against the Gophers).

But as a Buckeye fan it is difficult to know when optimism goes too far. There have been times in the not-too-distant past when I was bearish on the Buckeyes' chances and I was wrong.

In 2014, when Barrett went down, I thought it was ridiculous to believe that any team could win a National Championship with their 3rd string quarterback. Even when Urban said that they could, I simply did not believe him. I was wrong.

Last year, I thought the OL coach had not been given enough of a chance to prove himself by many. I thought we should wait until the end of 2024 to judge. And if I was not his biggest supporter on this board, I was close. The vast majority who expressed an opinion at all expressed a negative one. So when our top 2 OL went down mid-season at the 2 most important positions (and on a line that no one called "deep" at this point last year), I remember posting something to the effect of "OK fine, OSU was able to win a NC with a 3rd string QB, but it's delusional to think that anyone could win a NC with a M*A*S*H unit for an OL and an OL coach that none of the fans believe in." I was wrong.

That's twice in the last 11 years that Ohio State has done something that, in my opinion, we as fans had absolutely no right and no reason to expect.

So now when someone expresses a belief in something that I think we have no reason to expect, I have to remember... This is Ohio State. Maybe they can.

So I acknowledge the possibility, but I'm a guy and an engineer besides. I have to live my life based on that which is probable, not what is possible. I don't think Sayin will carve up a very talented and well-coached defense right out of the gate. I don't think it's likely. But I've been wrong before.

In all, Lovell flew four space missions — and until the Skylab flights of the mid-1970s, he held the world record for the longest time in space.

Trailblazing Apollo 13 commander James Lovell, whose “calm” heroics helped prevent a failed moon mission from turning into an unthinkable tragedy, has died.

He was 97.

Lovell died in Lake Forest, Illinois, NASA said in a statement as the astronaut was remembered for a life that “inspired millions” over the last several decades.

Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

billmac91
Sanders was legitimately running the offense with ball boys as WR’s last week. Like, zero time with any first or second stringers.

It’s why people are assuming he is “being set up to fail”.

The most common theory I’ve heard is Stefanski and Berry wanted no part of another QB after Gabriel was taken. Haslam meddled again and the coaching staff isn’t putting up with it so they want to nip it in the bud ASAP.

I don’t know if that’s true but it’s also the Cleveland Browns so chances are high….absolute clown show.
