Allen Trieu says some people believe Ohio State is leading TCUN for Dakota Guerrant.
Meanwhile, I’ve seen some insiders indicate that Alabama has the momentum again with Monshun Sales.
I really don’t care who we get to pair with Jamier Brown, it will be an elite class regardless.

Also it sounds like one of Nick Lauter, Preston Fryzel, or PJ MacFarlane will eventually get an offer at TE, according to Birm

TCUN fans absolutely hate the fact that Amari Latimer is trending to Ohio State:

I mean, it’s pretty annoying tbh. I’m not saying he would’ve been in Michigan’s class when you factor in Hiter, but they did seemingly kind of just move on after he changed plans on them, which I get if you feel slighted I guess, but this is big boy stuff at the end of the day. Then they just settled for an easy RB2 with no competition just like last year. Alfords M.O. with RB2s in a class is kind of disturbing to me. It’s like the easiest, safest route possible. You’re allowed having two excellent backs in a class, especially if you’re a program like Michigan and what they want to do. Unless you’re just going to decide to pluck the best one from the portal every other year.

Thank you! Looks great.

I'd take Brody's line-up for the core of the Buckeyes right now. Didn't realize how nicely the 2026 team was lining up. Hopefully Diebs can put all the parts together this year, paving the way for next.

Great to see. Hopefully he'll show out enough with current tOSU line-up, to help this team win, and showcase what Diebs can/will do with players that can play on the big stage. Would love to see some more of Ohio's best come on down to C'bus and join the show. Go Bucks!

Brody was writing what I was thinking. Very nice to see Graham and Porter in real duties. Both performed admirably. Of course, we couch QBs wonder why they aren't getting more reps, given what we see, but got to remember that the players in front of them have done it before, and are quite simply, good at it. But glad Brian's giving them some real-time exposure, so next year and year after, when current WR talent is in the NFL, they can walk in, with either Julian or Tavian in there, and keep the chain alive. Hopefully they'll see more significant action later on in the season.

And yet one wonders how the pre-season line-up had both of these guys farther down the pecking order. The emergence of the two of them, true freshmen, makes me wonder if trouble holding on to the football? Missing holes, simply 'not getting it', and then all of a sudden, voila. Bo seems to have lost some of his early dynamics, but Isiah has seemed to 'get dynamic' and gain some yards. Maybe it's like the pitcher that's called up, an strikes out bunch of opponents, and then second time around (the league), the tape shows tendencies, and he gets shellacked. Don't really know, can only guess. tOSU still seems to bring in Donaldson when there's a tough yard or two needed. Anyway that's what the coaches are paid the big bucks for.....Go Bucks (team not the $).

No argument here, but the question is how does one equate the competition at Rice, versus that of tOSU? Always the question when one brings in a star from a lesser league. Certainly agree that tOSU has 'hit' more than 'missed', though Daniels came from a bigtime program (from Minnesota), versus Rice. It also looks like others (Beau) hasn't shown enough to crack the line-up. Not certain I could stand-up to the constant pressure of doing well, (a la Tegra), on a daily basis. Knowing there's at least two-three others champing at the bit to bypass me. And, just as a PS, watch Sayin, who's lighting it up, and wonder how Day could say that Keinholz was neck-in-neck with Sayin in the QB derby. Baffling for sure, but wife said it's 'coach speak', to keep him from transferring etc.

Other than a bad OL, nonexistent running game, and bad OC, they looked pretty good.

You know you’re doing well when the QB has to use a 10 step drop to get enough depth so he can throw to a spot before pressure arrives.

So, if you have to pay out 5/6/7 mil a year for 6/7 years to make the pain go away, can you spend 11-15 mil on "The Answer" without using tuition money?

I know I don't need PFF to tell me anything about TT.

I just watch the replay after a sack or TFL and he's usually pretty easy to evaluate.

Looks like he is quite the disruptor.

Stock Down​

Tegra Tshabola​

Unfortunately, major lapses continue to plague Ohio State’s second-year starter at right guard. A reminder that criticisms like this of a player are never a personal attack, but this is a results-based business. Watching, rewatching, there was a reason Joshua Padilla played 26 snaps, swapping in for Tshabola for multiple series as opposed to the one he usually plays.

Tshabola has his solid moments. But, thus far this year, there have been too many moments where he’s caught off-balance, like on this play where he leans too far forward on a pass block and gets beat handily at the line, forcing Sayin to scramble.


I’m not one to put much stock into PFF’s grades (their advanced stats are incredibly helpful, however), but Tshabola was Ohio State’s lowest-graded run and pass blocker against the Badgers at 46.3 and 45.1. He allowed two pressures.
