RB Lamar "Bo" Jackson (All B1G)

Ryan Day looks to have lit a fire under an Ohio State football star in the perfect way ahead of 2026 season

Ohio State needs RB Bo Jackson to be a key piece for them in 2026, and the latest update from Ryan Day sounds promising.

Ohio State’s scrimmage this past weekend sounds like one where Jackson played well and potentially reasserted himself as the Buckeyes’ starting running back for 2026. Day’s public comments following the scrimmage were encouraging.

“The first thing is his reads and the way he’s hitting the hole has really shown up,” Day said over the weekend. “I think he’s doing a much better job at the second level. And we’ve talked about it before, either running over them or you’re running around and making them miss, and you’re seeing that. It’s showing up on film. It did not show up on film last year, we all know it.”

2028 PA WR Jett Harrison is a Buckeye!!!

Marvin Harrison Jr. made an honest admission about his 5-star brother that’ll have Buckeye Nation wishing he was on campus sooner

Marvin Harrison Jr.’s latest comment on Ohio State commitment Jett Harrison is making waves, and it’s easy to see why.

“Jett is a lot more talented than I ever was at his age,” Marvin told Arizona Cardinals reporters recently. “I think what really sets us apart is the mentalities that we have. I just love the confidence he has in himself,” Marvin told Arizona Cardinals reporters on Monday. “He feels he can do anything in this world, and I love that about him. I just try to do my part in being his big brother, steer him down the right path. I always emphasize work ethic, continue to work.”

2029 CA WR Austin Miller is a Buckeye!!!

Well, when they report for work-outs, the # of *s simply aren't there anymore. It's recruit v recruit. Whoever has the talent, the heart, works the hardest, 'gets it' the fastest, will play. Has always been tOSU's mantra. The best player plays. He who makes the plays gets to play, or some iteration of that. Would think that a highly rated 5* coming in with a bit of a swagger (based on past laurels, rating or ? might find that the upper classmen might/would hit him a tad harder, etc. Storylines abound about the vaunted player coming in humbley, and working his fanny off to earn a spot. Does tOSU still assign 'big brothers' to take the recruits under their wing, to show them the ropes (and the things not to do?)

Ohio State's scheduling big time non-conference opponents

I know you said "just some" of those opponents. But here's some more:
USC in the late 80s or early 90s. We got smoked in LA and then lost a close one in the rain at home.
Notre Dame in 95 and 96.
BC in the early 90s. I know they aren't always a powerhouse team, but those games were likely scheduled just after the Flutie years.
NC State in 03 and 04. Same deal - not a powerhouse team, but remember Phillip Rivers? He was no shlub.
Washington State in 02 was no shlub. There was supposed to be a return trip to Washington State, but they became a shlub so Ohio State cancelled that.
Washington in 07 and 08, I believe.
Oregon was supposed to be a 2-game series, starting in 21 or 22, I believe. But then they joined the Big Ten so they cancelled the second game.
Cal in 11 and 12, or something. I'm just kidding. They were terrible.

We scheduled those games with Cal in 2007. They were decent at the time with 2 10 win seasons in the last 3 years heading into 2007. We ended up catching them right at the time they hit complete rock bottom.
