Skull Session: Jaylen McClain Names Three Under-the-Radar Buckeyes Entering 2026, Urban Meyer Reflects on the Cost of Ohio State’s 2016 Loss to Penn State

Jaylen McClain names three under-the-radar Buckeyes entering 2026, and Urban Meyer thinks a missed penalty led to Ohio State’s 2016 loss against Penn State.

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN. Urban Meyer believes one missed penalty changed the course of Ohio State's 2016 season.

In a clip from The Triple Option released this week, Meyer said an uncalled penalty on a late field goal attempt prevented the Buckeyes from tying Penn State — and ultimately cost them a Big Ten championship.

Holding a 21-17 lead with 4:39 remaining in the fourth quarter, Ohio State lined up for a 45-yard field goal on 4th-and-7. Penn State blocked Tyler Durbin's kick, and Nittany Lions cornerback Grant Haley scooped up the live ball and returned it for a touchdown, turning Ohio State's three-point lead into a 24-21 deficit.

The Buckeyes had one final chance to respond, but Penn State's defense forced a 4th-and-23 from Ohio State's own 29-yard line, where the offense failed to convert.

“By rule, you can’t physically pull the field goal protector out of the way of the guy jumping through, and Penn State, the one win they got against us in 2016, they blocked the field goal,” Meyer said. “I turned it in, and I didn’t bitch a lot about it; my fault that we ran the field goal team on late. That cost us the Big Ten championship in ’16, and they later came back and said it could have been, and should have been, a penalty, if I remember right. That’s one that might have been — if they would have thrown that flag, obviously we win.”

Ohio State's loss to Penn State was its only regular-season defeat in 2016 and kept the Buckeyes out of the Big Ten Championship Game. Penn State went on to beat Wisconsin 38-31 for the conference title, but the College Football Playoff selection committee still selected Ohio State over the Nittany Lions for the four-team playoff.

Penn State lost to USC in the Rose Bowl.

Ohio State lost to Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl.

I wonder if those results would have been different if the referees had thrown a piece of yellow laundry 10 years ago at Beaver Stadium.

The world may never know.

Massive great white shark spotted off NC coast. See where its headed​

The Atlantic Ocean's largest tagged great white shark in history recently resurfaced off the coast of North Carolina near the Outer Banks, scientists said.

At nearly 14 feet long, the big fish named "Contender" appears to be heading toward Cape Cod and the eastern coast of Canada, according to a OCEARCH, a global non-profit marine research group tracking shark sightings and migration.

Researchers first tagged the massive great white shark on Jan. 17, 2025 off the Florida-Georgia coast, according to online data from the non-profit.

Most recently Contender breached the surface just before 2 p.m. ET on July 10.

QB Luke Fahey (Official Thread)

Login to view embedded media

Depth Chart Outlook​

Fahey is competing for the QB3 spot as a freshman in 2026 with Justyn Martin, a fifth-year quarterback who transferred to Ohio State this offseason. His first chance to compete for the starting job could come in 2027, assuming Julian Sayin enters the 2027 NFL draft.

That said, Fahey will have a challenging path to a future starting job at Ohio State. Current QB2 Tavien St. Clair is the heavy favorite to be Ohio State’s next starting quarterback after Sayin, and given Ryan Day's track record at OSU, there's a good chance that five-star quarterbacks will continue to come to Columbus even after Sayin and St. Clair are gone.

That’s not to say that Fahey lacks the talent to be a big-time quarterback, even though he is a bit undersized at 5-11. That said, Fahey isn't afraid of the competition and how tough it will be to be QB1 for Ohio State. In fact, he has expected it since the moment he committed to the Buckeyes.

“At other schools, I felt like the path to being a starting quarterback was easier. But again, I don't want to be scared of competition when in life you're going to have to compete,” Fahey said. “I know those guys will make me work hard at every aspect while I'm there, if that's on the field, in the weight room, sprints. And again, my goal is to be an NFL quarterback. And when you're around people who are better than you, it only pushes you to be better. It only makes you work that much harder.”

'27 OH PG Joshua Tyson (Verbal Offer)

Ohio has always had good basketball players, getting them to stay in-state has been a problem. Now, it appears that Diebs is getting that to happen. Love it, and hope we see more of it. My fervent wish is that tOSU basketball (men and women) would get the populace to react like Buckeye football, and look at the home fires first, before making a recruiting decision.

They've come and gone, and our fundraising never slows down. You can go all the way back to our first multi-year campaign in the mid 80s that had a goal of 250M and raised 450M--a record at the time for a public university.

Dude did a huge job on the recent campaign, but the next guy will do just fine.
