WR Jeremiah Smith (All B1G, B1G Freshman of Year, B1G WR of Year, Unanimous All-American, 2025 Rose Bowl Off MVP, National Champion)

Google AI: Stating true facts about your own achievements is not bragging if you have actually done the work to prove it.
Origins of the Phrase
    • Dizzy Dean: The famous baseball pitcher said, "If you can do it, it ain't bragging," before the 1934 season.
    • Muhammad Ali: The legendary boxer popularized the phrase, often phrased as "It's not bragging if you can back it up".
    • Other Legends: Similar versions are credited to Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, and Reggie Jackson.
Just sayin': Yeah, he's the best player in college football; and (so far) this season with the stats he has put up, he should be the Heisman frontrunner. However, do you think he's over doing it in hyping himself?.....:thinking:

Jeremiah Smith Declares He's The 'Best Player' In College Football​

"You've just got to [let] the Heisman voters or whoever it is know that I'm the best player in the country," Smith said, via Adam Rittenberg of ESPN. "I've got to be there."

Game Thread Maryland at tOSU, Sat. Oct. 10th, 4:15 pm ET, BTN

51-7 or worse this week.

JJ probably only plays a half. Need Henry, Mcuin, Inniss and White Lightning to have their best games going forward. Oline build it this week's good performance. Needs to be moving towards great quickly.

We've also got this 1 last week to fix the run fits, the shitty tackling and the ridiculous mental mistakes on Defense. After this week they'll cost us wins. Get it fixed! Pass rush was a hell of a lot better this week but still not great either.

Ohio State Dominates No. 14 Iowa, 31-14, to Start October with Statement Win​

Login to view embedded media
Ohio State started its monster month of October with a statement win on the road.

The Buckeyes dominated No. 14 Iowa at Kinnick Stadium, 31-14, to earn their first road win and first ranked win of the season.
In its first trip to Iowa City since its 55-24 loss to the Hawkeyes in 2017, Ohio State got revenge in blowout fashion. Another record-setting day by Jeremiah Smith led the Buckeyes to victory, as Smith became Ohio State’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving touchdowns in the process of catching 11 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns, also making him the first-ever Ohio State receiver with back-to-back 200-yard games.

With the win, the fifth-ranked Buckeyes improved to 4-1 on the season and 2-0 in Big Ten play, starting their toughest month of the 2026 season exactly the way they needed to.

Key Moments​

Q1, 14:19: Buckeyes force fumble on second play​

The Buckeyes got the ball in the red zone just two plays into the game when Kenyatta Jackson Jr. strip-sacked Hank Brown and Christian Alliegro recovered the ball at the 14-yard line.

Q1, 13:24: McCuin scores 15-yard touchdown​

Ohio State scored its first touchdown of the game on just its second offensive play as Iowa left Devin McCuin wide open over the middle of the field and Julian Sayin, with plenty of time to throw, found him for a 15-yard score.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

9 plays, 90 yards, 1:05
4 plays, 49 yards, :39
4 plays, 85 yards, :20
10 plays, 75 yards, 1:17
9 plays, 84 yards, 1:36

I don’t even know what to make of that stat. It’s like it’s a completely different team in those last 2 minutes. They can look uninspired and disinterested for the first 28 minutes and then suddenly flip a switch.

Just sayin': It would be interesting to know if the opposition changed their defense alignment for our final drives of the 1st halves. Did they go into some form of the so called "prevent defense*" and have it backfire on them?

*The prevent defense is a football strategy that p[laces extra defensive backs deep downfield to stop long touchdowns and run out the clock, even if it means giving up short, easy gains.

How It Works
    • Deep Alignment: Cornerbacks and safeties line up far behind the line of scrimmage, acting as a final safety net so no receiver can get behind them.
    • Fewer Pass Rushers: The defense rushes only three or four linemen, keeping more players back in pass coverage (often called umbrella coverage).
    • Trading Yards for Time: The defense willingly allows short passes or runs in exchange for the offense wasting precious seconds and staying in bounds

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

Yeah, recognize that. See that these kids communicate online with peers and/or others that have or are considering certain colleges. And maybe what other schools are offering via NIL. And/or teambuilding with other commits. Having 'the gang' for a sleepover during an unofficial visit (the official ones get put up in nice hotels-still the Black****?). Takes a special kinda of parent to host 4-10 recruits for 2-3 days. My house wouldn't be large enough certainly, but would enjoy doing it. Truly a bonding experience with recruits from other states, positions, walks-of-life etc. That's all intended to say.

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

I think it make sense for him to come back. His physical traits are what they are, they aren't going to get better. So he obviously is going to have to depend on experience, intelligence, processing etc. I think it would help him getting as much experience as possible before he goes into the league. Look at Purdy, who is his most obvious comparison, he threw almost 1500 passes at Iowa State. I think that helped him. Not to mention, this is a pretty loaded QB class and he's not going to be one of the top guys picked, so there's a good chance he'd make more money staying another year anyway.

RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

I bet Day would tell you off the record he regrets that Tyreek Hill comparison. No reason to gas up an 18 year old freshman like that, especially one who clearly has some maturity issues to work through.
I think he expected Bey to progress faster at that time. But in reality hes still just a true frosh who had a nice play against a MAC team. Fans lost their mind and expected Reggie Bush like year for a guy who probably doesn't know all of the plays
