The Buckeyes made too many mistakes and came up just short on the west coast.


Ohio State went toe to toe with a good football team in Eugene, Oregon on Saturday night, but that team made a lot fewer mistakes than the Buckeyes and that culminated in a 32-31 win for the Ducks over the Buckeyes.

While the loss doesn’t prevent Ohio State from still being able to achieve its goals for the season, it was a disappointment seeing the Buckeyes become their own worst enemies. The loss in Oregon could serve as an important opportunity to learn and grow for the team if the Buckeyes can handle their business in the right way.

We analyze the things that went right and wrong for Ohio State and look back at our predictions and picks to click from last week’s show to see how we did.

Following our breakdown of the Oregon-Ohio State matchup, we turn our attention around the rest of the Big Ten conference to see how the rest of the league was doing. It was another good week for Luke Fickell’s Badgers, whose slow start seems to be a thing of the past. It was, however, not good for Rutgers.

Purdue did some good things on offense but still didn’t get a result because of its porous defense. Lincoln Riley continues to make curious decisions and non-decisions out in Los Angeles. UCLA threw away a lead, meaning the Bruins are still looking for a B1G win, while Iowa bounced back from its loss to the Buckeyes. We’ve got all of that and more.

We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email. Any questions directed toward us will be answered on our next show.

As always, thanks for listening!

LSU Tigers (official thread)

Both of these guys are good posters and add good stuff to the board, but there is something hilarious about two fans of another school arguing on another team's board!
I don't know, it reminds me of when my parents used to fight all the time. That ended in divorce. I don't think I could stand to see these two without each other. I just hope they can stay together for the BP members.

HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

Ryan Day isn't a head coach at heart. He isn't an offensive coordinator at heart. He is still a QB coach at heart. He will kill to get 5 star QBs to throw the ball and get 5 star WRs to catch the ball and everything else seems to be whatever.

So our QB room full of 4 star and 5 stars, an abundance of riches all but maybe one or two head coaches in the country would kill for but we are in such a dire situation at the position that we had to go to the portal to get a starter? Why aren't any of the highly rated guys we already have developing? I understand the Ewers situation, but I think everyone on Earth knew he was going to Texas as soon as he could get NIL there.b

HC Ryan Day (2019 B1G Media COY)

Ryan Day has one timeout remaining.

He suddenly realizes that 5 minutes ago he could have gone for a two point conversion after the Buckeyes most recent touchdown. If they would have made it they would have another shot at victory in overtime. Even if they missed, they would be in the same exact predicament anyways. A literal zero risk move.

"Why didn't I go for two?" Day growls to himself between clenched teeth. "I'm such an idiot!"

A jarring yet familiar noise snaps him out of his stupor. He wipes his eyes. It's the referee's whistle. His motions indicates that Oregon has just acquired a penalty. This may just be the break the Buckeyes needed...

He looks to the Oregon sideline and instead of the site of an angry coach, Dan Lanning stifles, trying to contain his laughter. "Something isn't right." Day says to no-one in particular "He doesn't even care about the five yards..."

Day's eyes dart to the game clock. Panic begins to overtake Ohio State's 10 Million Dollar Man. "Wait...how does this work? How does the game clock work?"

Ryan Day has one timeout remaining.

The Buckeyes will welcome a four-star Alabama running back commit on an official visit.

Ohio State is now 5-1 following the team’s first loss of the season. The Buckeyes came up short in Oregon, falling 32-31 in heartbreaking fashion in what is becoming an all-too-familiar feeling in Columbus.

All eyes were on the Ohio State versus Oregon game Saturday, including recruits that were able to take in the game in-person and those that were not. The Buckeyes may not have been victorious, and there are obvious, glaring weak points that need fixed, but the team still had an impressive showing in a difficult environment.

Many of the recruiting storylines to follow Saturday night’s game will be about Oregon, but the Buckeyes will still make headlines daily, and this held true Monday. In case you missed the Buckeyes making recruiting headlines to start the week, Land-Grant Holy Land has you covered.

Ohio State to officially host Alabama four-star RB commit​


Ohio State’s 2025 recruiting class is mostly complete and the focus is already shifting towards next year’s class. However, the Buckeyes are still looking to add a few more recruits to finish the class off and one of those positions is running back.

The Buckeyes already hold commitments from two running backs in the class with four-star backs Bo Jackson and Isaiah West. The duo is already an impressive haul and the Buckeyes may not be done. 2025 four-star running back and Alabama commit Anthony Rogers (Montgomery, AL / Carver) is reportedly set to take an official visit to Ohio State later this month when the Buckeyes host Nebraska.

Rogers committed to Alabama in June of 2023, but has not completely shut his recruitment down. The Buckeyes officially threw their names in the hat and offered him in April of this year. The team is not alone in trying to flip him, as Auburn and Georgia have both hosted him on visits recently.

Hometown team Alabama has to remain the favorites in this one, but Rogers is doing his due diligence to make sure he makes the best decision for him, and the Buckeyes may be able to change his mind. That being said, this would be one of the bigger recruiting wins for Ryan Day and Ohio State recent memory if he were to flip.

Rogers is the No. 6 running back in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 118 overall prospect. He is also the No. 9 recruit from Alabama.

Quick Hits​

  • Ohio State is not the only school trying to flip recruits, and they are not immune to other schools trying to flip its commits. Ohio State 2025 five-star cornerback commit Na’eemm Offord (Birmingham, AL / Parker) is also doing his due diligence, and took an official visit to Oregon Saturday and watched the school he is committed to lose in a close game.

Oregon has been making Offord feel like a priority recruit as of late, and this last weekend certainly did not help Ohio State feel better about this.


Five-Star CB Na’eem Offord on his Game Day visit to Oregon:

“Just seen 2 of the BEST TEAMS in college football go head to head, and this won’t be the last time”

The Ohio State commit added “it was one of the loudest games ever & the best visit so far.”https://t.co/JgvgiHzg7f pic.twitter.com/xvW9HJ3nuG

  • Ohio State is not only making recruiting headlines on the gridiron, as Jake Diebler and the Ohio State men’s basketball team is also making headlines of their own. 2025 four-star guard Isaiah Denis (Davidson, NC / Davidson Day) recently met with the Ohio State basketball team.

However, the Buckeyes were not alone, as hometown schools UNC and Wake Forest also met with him. Denis is the No. 9 combo guard in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and the No. 62 overall prospect. He is also the No. 2 recruit out of North Carolina.
