Not a bad offer. Gabriel Osborne. Highly ranked boundary CB, who has only visited OU so far. Maybe Nate Roberts can do some recruiting for us.

Julian Sayin, Kayden McDonald and Jeremiah Smith Lead Pro Football Focus’ Highest-Graded Ohio State Players Against Purdue​

1. QB Julian Sayin (89.2)​

Are we living in a Bill Murray movie? For the fifth straight week, Sayin earned the highest grade among all Ohio State players. His passing grade of 88.8 against Purdue was the second-best in the nation among all quarterbacks with at least 25 pass attempts for Week 11, and his offensive grade of 89.2 was the best in the conference among QBs with a minimum of 25 passes.

For the season, Sayin continues to lead all quarterbacks in the FBS in offensive and passing grades. He has a 93.5 in both categories, as his passing grade is up from last week's grade of 93.1.

2. DT Kayden McDonald (88.3)​

McDonald earned the nation’s highest grade among defensive tackles (88.3) for his play against Purdue. It’s the second week in a row that an Ohio State defensive tackle has been the nation’s best, as Eddrick Houston was PFF’s highest-graded DT of the week for his performance vs. Penn State.

McDonald's rushing defense grade of 89.4 was the second-best in the nation for DTs in Week 11, and his 87.6 overall grade for the season is the best among Big Ten players at his position.

3. WR Jeremiah Smith (87.2)​

Smith's receiving grade of 87.8 and his overall grade of 87.2 against the Boilermakers were the best in the Big Ten for the week among all players with at least four catches. For the season, Smith has improved by 2.3 points from last week and leads the nation with an offensive grade of 90.3 among receivers with at least two targets.

Smith was Ohio State’s third-highest-graded player behind Sayin and a defensive tackle for the second week in a row, with McDonald replacing Houston in this week’s top three.

52 of 110 combined shots were 3 point attempts, most of which were missed. This is why I stopped watching basketball. It's turned into a chuck and pray sport.

McQuaide plays in 15th season
Former Ohio State long snapper Jake McQuaide’s NFL career officially reached 15 years on Sunday as he made his first game appearance of the season in the Los Angeles Rams’ 42-26 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Added to the Rams’ practice squad last week, McQuaide was elevated to the active roster for Sunday’s game. After he successfully handled snapping duties for all of the Rams’ six extra points and two punts, Los Angeles signed him to its active roster on Monday as a permanent replacement for its former long snapper, Alex Ward.

Now that he’s back in the NFL, McQuaide is once again tied with Cameron Heyward – who also started his NFL career in 2011 – for the longest-tenured former Ohio State player in the league. McQuaide’s reunion with the Rams, whom he spent his first 10 NFL seasons with after they signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2011, comes after stints with the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers over the last five years.

Keeping with the OL, Wiltfong said Ohio State is one of the top schools here:

WHAT A WAY TO LOSE​

Let's take a quick trip to Big Sky Country, where FCS No. 2 Montana stayed unbeaten in about the stupidest way possible. Eastern Washington quarterback Jake Schakel got the Eagles within 29-24 thanks to a touchdown pass with 1:01 remaining, and EWU recovered the ensuing onside kick. The Eagles were at the Montana 9-yard line with no timeouts and the clock dwindling when all hell broke loose. Schakel attempted to spike the ball to stop the clock with about 6 seconds left, but the ball slipped out of his hand before he could do so. Time ran out while the players battled to recover the fumble, ending the game.

Gorney thinks we still lead for CB Danny Lang, even after a heavy push and meeting with USC recently. Were rumors that he could be trying to make another visit to OSU soon. Night game against UCLA makes sense.

Well, Jim, guess you showed us that it's the Jimmys and the Joes, instead of the X's and the O's!

Do like having a legitimate 4 in the game, at the 4, not the 5. When the xfer shows up, he'll have to beat out Tilly, and the Croatian freshman. Certainly the scoring needs to be evened out, Thornton cannot be expected to score 30+ every night. Devin doesn't look entirely settled at the 3, hasn't taken the mid-range jumper much, and looks to revert to his playing the 4 days (which isn't all bad, but...). Do believe that the cake is in the over, and rising (or falling) as it cooks. Excuse the food analogy, need breakfast, but I find it fascinating how this team is growing, and finding their levels within the parameters of the team, and who's on the floor at the time. Go Bucks!

Thank you!

I think Steve Beurlein is getting short shrift here.

In my living memory it's between 1998 and 2019 teams.

Jury is still out on this one for reasons listed but there is no doubt it could have some of the best talent we've ever seen at OSU in Smith, Downs, Sayin and Reece getting himself into those kind of conversations.

You should be ashamed of yourself young man. Now you march your hiney right into the tight ends room and apologize!
