While the specifics of Moore's injury have not been revealed, it was reported on the NBC Sports broadcast of the game that Moore was able to move his hands and feet and managed to rotate his arms while being carted off.

You can debate whether Moore slid a little too late or if Stephens should've pulled up sooner, but one thing that won't give Stephens the benefit of the doubt was how he and his teammates handled the situation on the sidelines.

He was seen smiling and laughing while getting congratulated by teammates as Moore was still being taken off the field.

Sending the absolute best wishes to Dante Moore. Hate to see that happen to anyone.

Aiden Kim will play No. 15 Nasridinov in a consolation singles semifinal 11 am today. The winner will receive a direct acceptance into the NCAA championship.
Then at 12:30 a special All Buckeye doubles final is scheduled.

The defense just has to get off the damn field. It wasn’t just 3rd and 4th downs given up too. There were a lot of 2nd and longs that somehow we gave up also. We gave up 7 conversions on 3/4 downs and gave up a few really nasty conversions too like 2nd and 20 then Illinois gets 21.

Just cut that in half and this is a different game for the defense.

If think that’s issue #2 right now. Issue number one seems to me we don’t have the DL like we typically have. There’s a noticeable drop off IMO at DT. So when you force players who aren’t as good to stay on the field because you can’t get off the field. Not great mixture.

Limit the exposure by getting off the field.

This was always the underrated game of the year. Having lost to Texas we obviously can’t afford a loss to a team not named Oregon or Indiana.

if we can’t stop the run I don’t know if the offense can just blow the doors off the defense in this one. Iowa at home should generate a few more stops than typical. If we can’t do the same we could easily walk out with a loss.

Solid kid

2nd half actually looked really good.

‘I feel bad for him’ – Jeremiah Smith pulled no punches after Ohio State’s win over Illinois​

Ohio State star Jeremiah Smith had to troll an Illinois defender following the Buckeyes’ first Big Ten win.



Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith sent a firm reminder to the rest of the country why he is a top player in college football.

The Buckeyes rolled to a 42-19 Big Ten win over Illinois in Week 4, and it was a masterful day for Ohio State’s passing game, led by top target Smith, who had 12 catches for 217 yards and four touchdowns.

Smith’s second touchdown was a 72-yard score where he made a defender look quite silly on his way to the end zone. The junior wideout had quite the admission after the game, having some fun with the play himself.

“I can say I feel bad for him. Uh, when I did that, I just started laughing when I did it. So yeah, I feel kind of bad for him,” Smith said.

Illinois’ defenders probably aren’t going to take kindly to that comment, but there’s not much you can do when you’re made to look like that on national television.

Jeremiah Smith has leveled up his game in a major way for the Buckeyes ​

That touchdown was a signature play from Smith, who has leveled up his game this season for the Buckeyes. He’s a player doing a lot more damage after the catch now, and it’s turned his game up to another level. He can still cut off sharp routes and make defenders look silly, as well.

Ryan Day’s admission about Julian Sayin after Ohio State beat Illinois could change everything for the Buckeyes going forward​

Julian Sayin showed glimpses of his game changing in the Buckeyes’ Week 4 win, and it could completely change things for Ohio State going forward.



Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin delivered his best performance of the 2026 season in a 42-19 win over Illinois on Saturday, throwing for 367 yards and four touchdowns while flashing a new element to his game.

The Buckeyes’ passing attack was the story of the day, but Sayin’s willingness to use his legs may have been the most encouraging development for Ohio State’s offense going forward.

Julian Sayin’s legs could be a bitter factor for the Buckeyes going forward​

Sayin finished 27-of-36 passing with four touchdown passes and added a rushing touchdown on seven carries for 29 yards. The junior quarterback showed he can get out of the pocket and pick up yards when needed, highlighted by a key scramble on third down in the first half where he took the yards when they were given. That’s a real development for a player who simply didn’t do that last season.

On the season, Sayin is now up to two rushing touchdowns, which is two more than last season when he had zero. The coaching staff clearly made it a point of emphasis heading into the Illinois game, and Ohio State coach Ryan Day confirmed as much after the win.

“I would say that we’ve talked about it,” Day said. “But yeah, I mean, one of our jobs as coaches is challenge, challenge coaches, coaches challenge players, players challenge players. Sometimes the players will challenge the coaches. I thought you knew I like it when that happens. I love it when players challenge coaches. I think we need that a little more. But yeah, for sure, we challenged Julian this past week, and I thought he responded.”

The fact that Ohio State is pushing Sayin to run the ball adds another dimension to an offense that is already dangerous. Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith had 217 receiving yards against Illinois, and if Sayin can continue to use his legs, it gives defenses one more thing to worry about. The Buckeyes put up 518 total yards on the day, showing what a balanced attack can look like when the quarterback is willing to be a threat on the ground.

Through four games, Sayin has thrown for 1,206 yards with 10 touchdown passes and just one interception. If the junior quarterback can continue to play at this level, Ohio State is going to have a chance to accomplish its biggest goals this season. Saturday’s performance was a step in the right direction, and if Sayin’s legs remain a consistent factor, the Buckeyes’ offense could go to another level.

Hold the straw in one hand, use the other hand to force his head down on it.

See how that goes over.

Not exactly the PGA tour, but the international team, which, has only one win and one tie in 15 President’s Cups, is up 7-3 in the race to 15 1/2 after sweeping today’s foursomes 5-0. They made a lot of putts and the U.S. didn’t, so I expect a comeback of greater or lesser degree tomorrow.

10 1/2 to 7 1/2 for the international team after day 2. U.S. had leads a lot of the day, but didn’t close well and only cut into the lead by a point. 12 singles matches tomorrow, and the U.S. typically wins those by a decent margin. Likely to come down to the wire.
