I need to shout out Jelani's performance. He was extremely physical out there. I think it was the second goal line TD, he went in motion and COLLAPSED his defender, which Judkins followed for the TD. Also, the hit he put on the defender on the play where the ball was out but they called it down was a sight to behold.

Thurman was knocking heads all night. His block on Q’s second TD run was beautiful.

Brutal comment.

Nah he was pulling sorry scuzzball shit for at least 6 years before this. Probably longer but he wasn't on TV so I can't be sure

He’s a millionaire who talks on TV in front of millions of people professionally who gets into arguments with random people on social media. There is absolutely no question that his brain is broken in some way, and his downward spiral started a long time ago (probably around when the guy with the broken brain started being viewed and evaluated by people on television).

As an alumnus from a near peer Ivy League school, Wilmington College, I accept you for who you are. Not all of yous can be Roads Skollars like meself.

I'll buy new when I land. I don't own a lot of short pants as the kids say

Saw him mixing it up with Tenn DL. Love those former wrestling OL

I'd love for you to be right, but you're wrong. He didn't "survive the ground". You need to possess the ball for more than just a moment, in bounds or out. I don't think anyone is arguing that Smith had a touchdown reception.
I think I disagree with the call that it was an interception. The defender's fingers had it with his toe down, but he didn't have it until his toe was up.
And I definitely disagree with the non-call of pass interference. That was just a terrible miss by the referee(s).

JJ had both hands on the ball and then use right hand to raise it away from the interfering defender when the knock loosen the ball. Anyway, that’s what i saw.

Still a good play from Will and JJ. No complain about them.

A healthy, fresh, strong, determined Luke is just what the doctor ordered.

Cecconi seems like Cleveland's type of pitcher. Good control and a plus secondary pitch. Given that five of his outings came against the Padres and Dodgers, plus he was absolutely slaughtered overall at the hitter-friendly Chase Field and I'm willing to give him a pass on his terrible 2024 numbers.


The way I see it, worst case scenario you made a 1-for-1 swap of Santana for Naylor while Cecconi doesn't figure it out and cost you the difference in a CB-Round B pick and a Rev Sharing Comp pick (~30 to 35 pick difference). Totally worth the risk considering Naylor's 2nd half numbers and Cecconi looking like the standard sprinkle some Cleveland pitching fairy dust on him and he turns into another, "Where did this guy come from!?"

As of this date 5 years ago, Fields had thrown 40 TDs with only 1 interception, and had 10 rushing TDs.

You 're right I will take the L there. First year Fields was other worldly he came back down to earth a bit covid thought not his fault with how funky that year was.

Thanks guys for the info . It's always nice to see the team improving and growing . Looking forward to another season of Buckeyes
dominance on the mats!

well, yeah, but… we’re going up against oregon next, hence my concern about gabriel’s slipperiness. we haven’t done well this year with slippery quarterbacks who are able to step up into the pocket and scramble out.

our lb’s are doing a better job of containing the qb scrambles, and the backs are coming in for support. but the backs likely will not be able to do that against oregon.

so maybe it just comes down to how much our lb’s have improved since we played in eugene.

This game was a total warmup for Oregon. Difference will be the accuracy of Gabriel and the talent of WRs. You can see the strategy working though. Gabriel ain't getting up from all the hits Nick took either

It was funny/ shocking on the Hendo first breakout when Monty ape fucked the DL to spring him, right at the cut Don was about to take on the LB and got ran the fuck over. I was like Holy shit he got trucked. Just ironic on a play that was so full of greatness

Cannot be stopped in the red zone. He loves payday

Broome played, and Auburn cruised to victory. I hate to say it but Auburn looks like a team that will be in the mix at the end of the year.

Yep saw that in the highlights. They were talking like he was going to miss a few games beforehand. They are a really good team

I'm in!

Buckeyes evened up the all-time record against Ky at 11-11. There aren’t too many teams that have played them 10+ times without trailing in the series head-to-head.

4. Ohio State continues to be a UK nemesis. With Ohio State’s upset win, the Buckeyes have now tied the all-time series with Kentucky at 11.

The Buckeyes are 3-0 vs. the Wildcats in CBS Sports Classic games. In the last three meetings between the teams, OSU has beaten UK teams ranked No. 4 (2015-16), No. 6 (2019-20) and No. 4 (this year).

OK, I looked up the losing record thing. These current Division I schools are included:

18-25 vs. N. Carolina
08-09 vs. St. Louis
11-11 vs. Ohio State
08-08 vs UCLA
