Just finished watching most of the season and the NC game. How did they win the Big Ten, let alone an NC? Coulda, probably shoulda lost to Purdue, Illinois, Michigan and Cincinnati. While Krenzel didn’t fumble or throw a bunch of interceptions, he also wasn’t accurate. Grooms and Nugent, Jenkins and Gamble, Smith, Doss, Wilhelm, Oleva and Stepanovich and the rest was smoke and mirrors. Took me two days to recover from the NC hangover.

Not only that but they capped the year winning a NC against a team that had won what 34 straight? One of the most talented teams to ever step on a college field.

Also MoC didn't even rush for 50 yards and Craig threw for 122 yards (is that even accurate???).

We needed every inch of motivation to gut that one out.

What was most satisfying? I watched it with my sister's boyfriend who was a Canes fan who trash talked all damn game. The loud noise you heard when Cie Grant rag dolled Dorsey wasn't our fans it was me 2000 miles away.

2015: JALIN MARSHALL BEATS JEREMY CLARK FOR 25-YARD TOUCHDOWN GRAB
Ohio State led just 14-10 at halftime in the 2015 edition of The Game. Looking for a spark to start the third quarter to create some separation and quiet the Big House crowd, the Buckeyes did just that.

After Ezekiel Elliott gashed the Wolverines with gains of 7, 21, 15 and 9 yards helping the Buckeyes drive to the Michigan 25 yard line, Urban Meyer and company figured Michigan would be ripe for a pass over the top.

On 1st-and-10, J.T. Barrett play faked to Elliott, dropped back and lobbed a throw toward Jalin Marshall on a post route.

Playing through defensive holding and pass interference, Marshall showed excellent concentration and hands, fighting off Michigan cornerback Jeremy Clark for a 25-yard touchdown giving Ohio State a decisive 21-10 lead.

Marshall's catch capped an 8-play, 82-yard drive – one of five OSU scoring drives of 75 or more yards on the afternoon.

The grab jump-started what became a 28-3 run in the second half as Ohio State exited Michigan Stadium with a 42-13 victory.

2016: CURTIS SAMUEL DELIVERS THE BROOKLYN DAGGER IN OVERTIME
Ohio State found itself in double overtime against Michigan in 2016 thanks in large part to a stagnant offense that gave Curtis Samuel just 10 touches before the final play of the game.

Facing 3rd-and-9 from the Michigan 24 yard line, trailing 27-24 in the second overtime, Samuel peeled off a drunken sideline-to-sideline zig-zag after a swing pass from Barrett for eight yards.

Now staring down a 4th-and-1 with the game on the line, Urban Meyer went to J.T. Barrett for the 30th time on the ground that afternoon and the signal-caller gained exactly one yard to move the chains following the most accurate official spot in the history of the sport.

As Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan sideline cried about the placement of the football, giving Ohio State new life with 1st-and-10 at the Michigan 15, the Buckeye braintrust opted against giving Barrett another carry, instead calling Samuel's number for just the seventh time in the run game via a shotgun give off left tackle.

Fifteen yards untouched later, Ohio State escaped with a 30-27 double overtime win over Harbaugh's squad.

Ohio State offers a trio of tight ends on Tuesday

Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here

Westminster School TE Holden Staes | Rusty Mansell, 247Sports
The Buckeyes continue to fill out their target board for the 2022 class

We’ve talked ad nauseam about the strength of Ohio State’s 2021 recruiting class. However, at a program like the one that resides in Columbus, you cannot step back all too often to rest on your laurels. The grind never stops, and before this current cycle is wrapped up a ton of work must be put into getting a head start on 2022 if the team wants to build continued success.

Three new Buckeye offers


As of the time this is being written, 247Sports has the running total for Ohio State’s 2022 scholarship offers at 65. However, with at least two of the newest offers having not yet hit the site, the actual number is likely somewhere north of 67. On Tuesday morning, the Buckeyes had an offer out to just one tight end in the class, but that number grew exponentially later that afternoon.

The first guy to officially add his name to the list is Westminster School’s Holden Staes. Not yet being rated by 247Sports, Staes is listed as a high three-star prospect on Rivals.


The Georgia native adds Ohio State to an already impressive list of at least 20 offers, including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Michigan, Penn State and others. The 6-foot-4, 240 pound tight end as seen his recruitment pick up as of late with both the Crimson Tide and Tigers offers coming at the end of May and now most recently the Buckeyes. Look for him to be at least a four-star prospect when the next update comes around.

Tight end is a big position of need in the 2022 class for Ohio State, and so the work did not stop there. A short while later, fellow TE Benji Gosnell took to Twitter to announce his latest offer from the Buckeyes.


A four-star prospect, Gosnell is the No. 5 TE in the class and the No. 9 player out of his home state of North Carolina according to 247Sports. The East Surry product currently holds offers from at least 14 programs, including the likes of Florida, Georgia, Notre Dame and Tennessee. Ryan Day was able to snag one of the Tar Heel State’s top prospects in RB Evan Pryor during this current cycle, and he'll be looking to do the same with Gosnell in 2022.

The offers did not stop there for Kevin Wilson and Co., as Bennett Christian became the third tight end in the span of about an hour to announce a scholarship offer from Ohio State on Twitter.


Without yet having a rating on either 247Sports or Rivals, the 6-foot-5, 225 pound tight end has around 10 different offers at this time, including programs such as Kentucky, Michigan State, Nebraska and Pittsburgh. A Georgia native like Staes, coach Wilson must have been doing his homework on tight ends on the East Coast, feeling comfortable enough to send out the trio of offers on Tuesday.

The TE spot is certainly going to be a position of great emphasis in the 2022 class, as both Luke Farrell and Jeremy Ruckert will likely be off to the NFL following this upcoming season. Ohio State currently has one TE commit in the 2021 class in Sam Hart, and could potentially still be adding the four-star Hudson Wolfe to the mix, but it is definitely a position group worth keeping an eye on moving forward.

Quick Hits

• Two of Ohio State’s early commits in the 2022 class are teaming up to give back to their community. Jyaire Brown and Tegra Tshabola will be hosting a youth camp for ages 8-14, with training in both offensive line and skill positions.

• I touched on this earlier on Tuesday in my Buckeye Bits column, but Ohio State running back commit TreVeyon Henderson has drawn some incredibly high praise.

#BlackoutTuesday
All of the latest Ohio State news from around the beat and beyond

With everything that’s currently going on in the world, it would feel wrong to make some kind of snarky joke or say something sarcastic like I usually would at the beginning of these things. Instead, today we will just be bringing you the latest Ohio State news. Some of it will be sports related to help escape the harsh realities of society, but I feel it is also important to highlight the outstanding work our fellow Buckeyes and others are doing to help take steps toward social justice and equality.

Without further ado, let’s get on with today’s headlines.

From around Land-Grant Holy Land...

• Ohio State offers 2021 four-star combo guard
  (Dan Hessler, LGHL)

Ryan Day isn’t the only Ohio State coach that gets to have some fun in the recruiting game. Chris Holtmann is putting in the work as well, and having already put together the nation’s No. 5 class in this cycle, they are hoping to make the short list for a top prospect later this week.

• Play Like a Girl podcast: A tribute to Phyllis George
  (Tia and Meredith, LGHL)

In this special written edition of the Play Like a Girl Podcast, Tia and Meredith pay homage to one of the trailblazers for women in sports media: Phyllis George. As host of The NFL Today beginning in 1975, CBS’ premier pregame show, George paved the way for so many talented women to make a name for themselves in a predominantly male realm.

• Ryan Day has changed the quarterback position at Ohio State
  (Gene Ross, LGHL)

With no theme week from the mothership over at SB Nation this week, I decided to do a little bit of a dive into Ryan Day’s success coaching quarterbacks at Ohio State. Before he was the headman, he was in charge of the QB room, and since he’s joined the staff the Buckeyes have become one of the most prolific passing offenses in the nation.

From around the gridiron...

• The Ohio State football team put out a very powerful video on their Twitter feed last night, with many of its players and also coach Day advocating for the change that so many in this country are currently seeking.

• This is the first and likely only time I will ever say this, but you have to respect Jim Harbaugh for this move. In times like these, it’s important that those in a position of power and influence take a stand. For once, Day and Harbaugh are on the same page.

Ugly mask, though.

• Ohio State wide receiver C.J. Saunders arrested for curfew violation
  (Dan Hope, Eleven Warriors)

Saunders was detained by Columbus PD after walking from North High Street at 10:45 p.m. despite a 10 p.m. city curfew. The sixth-year senior, who is still awaiting word from the NCAA in terms of his eligibility for this upcoming season, posted bond at the Franklin County Jail on Tuesday morning. The arrest report did not specify if Saunders was participating in the protest, but that is assumed to have been the case. If so, good for CJ for sticking up for what he believes in.

• Why Corey Dennis was the right pick to lead Buckeyes’ QBs
  (Austin Ward, Lettermen Row)

With the departure of Mike Yurcich to Texas, Ohio State was in need of a new quarterbacks coach. Sure, Ryan Day was pretty much the man in charge of the room anyway, but the team needed someone on staff they could trust to carry on Day’s methods and teachings. According to the Bucks’ head coach, continuity among the coaches was a big factor in promoting Corey Dennis to fill the role.

• How each top 2020 college football team becomes a national title contender
  (Bill Connelly, ESPN)

Our good friend Bill over at ESPN put together a great piece looking at the two biggest “ifs” for each team in college football that has a chance to win a national title. When it comes to Ohio State, Connelly said the most important aspects will be finding ways to replace Chase Young’s production along the defensive line and the need for all of their high-upside wideouts to show prove that high upside.

• Charles Power of 247Sports had some incredibly high praise for Ohio State commit TreVeyon Henderson, calling the five-star RB “the most complete running back prospect entering his senior season in several recruiting cycles.” He’s got all the tools necessary to be the next great back for the Buckeyes.

• Speaking of Ohio State running backs, Trey Sermon has arrived.

From everywhere else...

• The Big Ten has announced the creation of Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Coalition, intended to be comprised of the conference’s student-athletes, coaches, and other members of the community as we all work together to create a better world.

• I would highly recommend taking time out of your day to watch this video from Emmanuel Acho. It is incredibly profound and yet another instance of someone using their platform to help inspire change and further the education on such a tough topic.

• Some good news in the world of sports: the NBA is working on a plan to make its return. The proposal, which would include 22 teams either in the playoffs/on the verge of a playoff spot playing at the ESPN complex in Orlando, would have the season resume on July 31, and would extend potentially to Oct. 12.

• We should all be proud to be Buckeyes in times like these, especially with a guy like Ryan Day in charge of things. His unwavering support has not gone unnoticed.

Play Like a Girl podcast (written edition): A tribute to Phyllis George

Tia and Meredith discuss George’s impact on the industry and how she paved the way for women in sports

On this week’s special (written) edition of Play Like a Girl, Meredith and Tia pay special tribute to Phyllis George, a pioneer of sports broadcasting and one of the first women to report sports on-air.

Hey friends - sorry we can’t share our dulcet tones with you this week, but it’s been a couple weeks since Phyllis George passed away, and Tia and I wanted to pay special tribute to this special person who paved the way so much for us and other female sportswriters and broadcasters.

Phyllis George did a lot of things throughout her career, but we’re going to focus on a subset that’s relevant to this podcast (even in written form). George was host of The NFL Today, CBS’ premiere pregame show, starting in 1975. It’s been many decades, the world has certainly changed and, as it relates to George, has opened up to women in sports.

Meredith: I’ll admit that I didn’t know a lot about Phyllis before hearing about her death, so I recognize that I’ve become one of those people who posthumously mourns someone who didn’t really impact me directly, but it was upsetting that I wasn’t really aware of the contributions of Phyllis as a pioneer in a field which is really important in my life. And even though her on-air time was before my time, her influence has certainly been felt: Doris Burke, Robin Roberts, Hannah Storm and others are all broadcasters I’ve looked up to over the years.

Tia: I’m with you in that I didn’t know much about her until now, but after googling her and watching YouTube video after YouTube video, I think she’s my new hero. Here are some good ones that capture who she was and some of the work she did:


It’s almost sad that, when I watch some of her interviews and broadcasts, my thoughts instantly go to “I bet so many people didn’t take her seriously,” which has nothing to do with her performance, and has everything to do with the fact that women sports broadcasters are still, to this day, not taken seriously by some, let alone George who was the very first woman to do it.

Meredith: I was born in 1990, and by that time, there were a few women in sports who I’ve always remembered being on the air (confirmed by The Last Dance, which featured several early- to mid-1990s female reporters), but I can’t imagine what it was like back in the 1970s when it really was “a man’s world.”

One of the things that stuck out to me was something her daughter said about when Phyllis would receive hate mail. “Mom said that when she stopped reading the letters, she gained so much confidence.” We’ve talked about that subject on the show so much, and it’s really such great advice. I mean, you want to be able to take guidance and grow (because a growth mindset is important), but when people are really just insecure about themselves and try to tear you down to build themselves up, it’s best to just ignore them.

What’s horribly depressing is that we continue to see this kind of behavior on social media (or in our comments section) every day. We’ve talked extensively on the pod about the quizzing and the comments that men will make when they find out we like sports, but at least we can laugh together about it. I can’t even imagine what it was like for Phyllis when she was literally the first woman there.

Tia: When you’re in the business of putting out content or speaking on camera, allowing yourself to be judged by everyone reading or watching or listening, I think it’s so easy to tell yourself “oh, I can ignore the trolls! They’re just insecure!” or “I’ll just turn a blind eye,” but turning that into action is incredibly difficult. Not only did George keep her chin up and blatantly ignore the hateful letters, she did so with grace and class. I have nothing against snapping back at awful comments you might get on Twitter— sometimes you just gotta reply— but I’m a firm believer that no reaction is the best reaction. It makes me smile thinking of those men back in the 70s who, even after sending her hate mail, had to watch her grace their televisions once more...with even more confidence.

Meredith: Phyllis was also Miss America back in 1971. I love that she used that platform to grow and pioneer the sports broadcast industry as a place for women. I’m going to be real: I couldn’t name a single Miss America winner, so it’s pretty cool that she continued to leverage that part of her life to build this place for women in sports.

Obviously the disparity still exists today. Brent Musburger, who was on NFL Today with Phyllis back in the day, cited the “dozens” of women whom Phyllis paved the way for when it came to sports broadcasting. “Dozens” is not a lot. There are literally dozens of sports networks with hundreds of shows and thousands of individuals involved over five decades. How are there only dozens of women that Musburger can think of?

Tia: Downsizing her impact to “a dozen” is a slap in the face to George, who literally paved the way for every single female sports broadcaster since 1975. Every single one of them. Like you said, that’s not a dozen, but thousands of women. Not to mention the hundreds of women in the 70s who loved sports, maybe wanted to work in sports, but were told it was not a place for women, only to see George pop up on their screens chatting about football.

“Sometimes you have to see it to be it; you have to know something is a career option in order to aspire to it,” SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm told The New York Times. “Which means someone has to be first. That was Phyllis George — a true trailblazer.”

Ohio State offers 2021 four-star combo guard

Westtown School combo guard Jalen Warley | GoFlashWin
The guard received an offer from Ohio State over the weekend and he is now set to trim his list down.

Chris Holtmann and the Basketball Buckeyes have been hard at work putting together elite level recruiting classes during these unprecedented times. The program continued to do so over this past weekend and the work may already be paying off.

Ohio State officially offered four-star combo-guard Jalen Warley (Norristown, PA/Wesstown School) following a virtual visit, according to Jake Weingarten of StockRisers.


The offer puts Ohio State among the likes of Creighton, Louisville, LSU, Marquette, Maryland, Michigan, Penn State, Oregon and Xavier in pursuit of earning a commitment from Warley.

The Buckeyes will soon learn if the virtual visit and offer were well received, as Warley is also planning on trimming his list down this week. He took to Twitter recently saying he will be releasing his top schools on June 7th.


Warley is one of the top prospects in the 2021 class, one where Ohio State already holds the No. 5 spot in the 247Sports class rankings. He is listed as the No. 3 CG in the country and is the No. 28 overall prospect despite position. Warley would make for an excellent addition alongside already verbally committed four-star CG Meechie Johnson and three-star power forward Kalen Etzler.

Quick Hits:

• In news that will surely not be surprising for Buckeye Nation, defensive ends are leading the way in 247Sports Bill Kurelic’s Ohio State 2022 big board.
• The tight end position is one of great importance in Ohio State’s 2022 recruiting class, and four-star Donovan Green spoke with Rivals about the Buckeyes pursuit for him and what he thinks of the program.

All of the latest Ohio State news from around the beat and beyond.

As a sports writer, it’s becoming more and more difficult to “stick to sports” lately. On one hand, sports are a great way to distract yourself from the horribleness that is our world right now. On the other hand, distracting yourself is a privilege that, for many, is not an option. Not to mention, distracting yourself does absolutely nothing to help drive change— something we so desperately need. I guess what I’m trying to say is, if you need a mental health break from taking in all the violence happening in every city in the country, take one. Sports content is a great way to do that. After that, however, I think it’s important that you continue to educate yourself on what it means to be antiracist, sign petitions, donate to charities and proactive groups, vote in local elections, and read these incredibly well written articles:

Column: How “no fan” sporting events might affect home field advantage

Meredith Hein, LGHL

In Meredith’s latest column, she highlights the many other types of advantages that playing at home brings, even without fans in the stands.

Column: TBDBITL has always made me cry, but sometimes those tears are exactly what I need

Matt Tamanini, LGHL

Matt capped off “Sports Moments That Made You Cry” Week by describing, in detail, the sports moment that makes him cry every single time without fail: The Ohio State Marching Band’s entrance into the ‘Shoe.

This upcoming season will likely be the first one since I was five that I will not get to see TBDBITL perform inside the ‘Shoe, which made this column even more of a tearjerker.

Coombs continues strong bid to land No. 1 Michigan recruit

Bill Kurelic, Bucknuts

Ohio State is a strong contender for Michigan’s No. 1 2022 prospect/ the nation’s No. 4 cornerback, who, according to 247Sports is not even considering Harbaugh’s Wolverines as his future team, which, according to yours truly, is hilarious.


Ohio State’s 11 most experienced players entering the 2020 season

Dan Hope, Eleven Warriors

Hope took a look at the 11 most experienced Buckeyes heading into the season, ranked by the number of snaps each of them have played in their Ohio State careers. When Chris Olave is listed as the least experienced, you know you’ve got a pretty good list.


Arm strength helps make Justin Fields Heisman-ready quarterback

Spencer Holbrook, Lettermen Row

Justin Fields was near perfect last season with just three thrown interceptions, 41 touchdowns, and over 3,000 yards. What’s scary (for other teams) is that he’s piling on a whole second year of training with some of the best quarterback coaches in the country, including QB Whisperer Ryan Day and the rest of Ohio State’s offensive staff, meaning he’s just going to come back...more perfect.

Seth Towns continues to protest in downtown Columbus.


Towns is already becoming many Ohio State fans’ favorite player and he hasn’t even worn a scarlet and gray jersey yet. No matter what he does on the court, I could not be happier that Chris Holtmann snagged this guy from Harvard.


New TBT podcast


Lettermen Row’s Drive The Lane Podcast—hosted by former Ohio State men’s basketball captain, Joey Lane, and Andrew Zoldan— are teaming up with TBT to produce the official podcast for the tournament, Inside TBT, where they’ll provide TBT content all summer long.

Gene Smith supports Ohio State athletes’ right to protest, encourages them to participate in conversations about racial injustice

Dan Hope, Eleven Warriors

Gene Smith “wholeheartedly” supports Seth Towns’ and other Ohio State athletes’ right to protest, stating that “they have the ability to do what other generations haven’t done.” He also says it’s “extremely important” for head coaches to advocate for change, as well— something they have done, while other prominent head coaches have yet to do.

Hope has more on that, along with Smith’s personal thoughts on the matter.


Good news for music majors and performers!


Ohio State is getting a long overdue new music building, thanks to a $17 million gift from alum Ratmir Timashec and his family’s charity foundation. It will be named the “Timashev Family Music Building” in their honor, and will “be among the most acoustically and technologically advanced facilities in the nation upon its completion in 2022,” according to Ohio State.


Former Ohio State fullback Dionte Johnson’s downtown Columbus shoe store, Sole Classics, was damaged and looted during a protest on Friday night.


You can donate via a link he provided on his Instagram to help pay for damages and stolen inventory. He states that any donations that exceed the costs of said damages will be donated to neighboring minority-owned small businesses who also suffered damages.

Here's a little bit of history on the 1971 season about a QB a lot of Buckeye fans(maybe) never heard of:

In 1950, the NCAA was gradually moving toward college football on television. The Big Ten struck it down and placed a ban on the televising of any football games within the conference for the 1950 season.

Opinions on the ban varied. Many feared a decline in attendance at games if fans could just watch from home, but it appears that members of the football team and fans were divided on the issue when asked.

It’s just a few opinions in one newspaper, and I'd be foolish to directly compare TV in 1950 to today in 2020, but it’s interesting to see the progression from concerns over a loss of ticket revenue to the powerhouse force that is college football on television that we know today.

Nonetheless, attendance wouldn’t be an issue moving forward when games were permitted to be televised again. As football's exposure on television increased, so did ticket sales.

But, I guess hindsight is always 20/20.

So, so true about the 1973 team. And, as hard as anyone wants to try they will never convince me that Randy Gradishar wasn't the greatest linebacker we ever had. Dude had the size of a defensive end. The speed of a cornerback. And the ballhawking ability of a safety. Forget linebacker, he may very well be the best overall defensive player we ever had.

THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT OVERTIME THRILLERS IN OHIO STATE FOOTBALL HISTORY

2014: NO. 13 OHIO STATE 31, PENN STATE 24 (2OT)
Heading to Happy Valley with a 5-1 mark, having lost to Virginia Tech in week two, No. 13 Ohio State needed to run the table if it wanted to get back into the 2014 national title picture.

Urban Meyer's squad built a 17-0 halftime lead in whiteout conditions but the Nittany Lions turned the tables in the second half, scoring 17 unanswered of their own via a pick six of J.T. Barrett, a Christian Hackenberg touchdown pass and a Sam Ficken field goal with nine seconds left in regulation.

After Penn State scored first in the extra session, Barrett answered with a 5-yard touchdown, tying the game at 24 to force a second overtime.

Ohio State was afforded a short field after a Penn State personal foul and capitalized as Barrett took a third down carry four yards for a 31-24 lead.

The Silver Bullets took over from there, culminating with a Joey Bosa walk-off sack of Hackenberg on fourth down.

The victory was Ohio State fifth-straight in what became a 13-game winning streak en route to the most incredible national title run in school history.
