Denzel Ward wasn’t the problem in Ohio State’s secondary against Indiana
Matt Tamanini via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


Also, what did Urban Meyer say his assistants need to work on after last season?

“This will be just the 14th time since the start of the 2012 season the Buckeyes have been a single-digit favorite, and they are 10-3 SU and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as one.”

- OddsShark, SBNation


After the Buckeyes won on the road in Norman last year, it’s not a tremendous surprise that they are more than a touchdown favorite for this Saturday’s return-game in Columbus. Going into this weekend, OSU is a 7.5 point favorite, and the game’s over/under is 64.5.

While the Buckeyes’ secondary will be tested after Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield put up video game numbers in the season-opener against UTEP; he was 19 of 20 through the air for 329 yards and three touchdowns; OddsShark points out that history is on Ohio State’s side.

“Ohio State is 22-1 SU and 15-8 ATS in its last 23 September home games,” OddsShark wrote. That sole, straight-up loss, as every Buckeye fan knows, was the 2014 defeat at the hands of the Virginia Tech Hokies. Ohio State went undefeated from there en route to the first College Football Playoff championship.

With the o/u in the mid-60s for Saturday, it might be valuable to note that the Sooners were over in seven of their last eight road games. Meaning that with the Buckeyes coming off of a 49-point output against IU, and Oklahoma having put up 56 against UTEP, this is shaping up to be an explosive prime-time matchup.

“Ward had five pass breakups and an interception in the boxscore. But did he play well or not? Should there be confidence or worry about the corner when it's time to face Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield?”

- Doug Lesmerises, cleveland.com


In an incredibly gif-tastic article, Lesmerises went back and examined all 18 times that Indiana quarterback Richard Lagow through at projected first-round cornerback Denzel Ward. Thanks to ESPN’s Megacast coverage, Lesmerises is able to include many looks at the All-22 footage, so you are able to watch the play, and Ward’s coverage, develop.

Of the 18 passes thrown his way, six were completed for 58 yards, and one earned Ward a pass interference call. Lesmerises correctly points out that for most of the game, Ward was on an island allowing his less experienced cornerback compatriots as much support as possible.

Unfortunately, the other CBs did not perform anywhere near as well as Ward did. Kendall Sheffield gave up seven completions on 13 targets for 105 yards, while Damon Arnette was thrown at nine times, including seven completions for 78 yards.

Ohio State’s non-Denzel Ward cornerbacks will need to do much better to keep Mayfield in check on Saturday.

“Despite reaching the College Football Playoff, Meyer received a ‘performance meets expectations’ when determining the competitive success of the program.”

- Colin Hass-Hill, The Lantern


The obvious take away from these reports is that they supply official confirmation that making it to the College Football Playoff every year is the expectation at Ohio State. However, what is most interesting is the things that head coach Urban Meyer most valued, and would like to see improvement on, from his assistants.

While he called defensive coordinator Greg Schiano the “best coach I’ve worked with,” he did have some constructive feedback for others on the defensive side of the ball. Meyer said that he would like defensive line coach Larry Johnson to to use his motivational ability more and to work on his game planning ability.

Meyer also said that he he valued cornerback and special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs’ loyalty, energy, and chemistry with staff as his best traits.

On offense, though Meyer gave wide-receiver coach Zach Smith high marks for recruiting, he would like to see the #Zone6 leader work on the WR corps’ behavior. He also wants to see more accountability and focus from the unit in the weight room and meeting room.

“Oklahoma’s upcoming game at Ohio State is one of the biggest regular season games in recent Sooner memory... but with quarterback Baker Mayfield leading the way, OU is in excellent hands.”

- Seth Oliveras, Crimson and Cream Machine


Look, this won’t come as a surprise to anyone, but for Oklahoma to win in Columbus this weekend, they will need to have a great game from Baker Mayfield. The problem is going to be that, despite OSU’s secondary woes against Indiana, if Schiano doesn’t have to worry about an effective running game from the Sooners, that will allow him to turn the Buckeyes’ ridiculous front four loose on the veteran quarterback.

If the rotation of Nick Bosa, Jalyn Holmes, Sam Hubbard, Dre’Mont Jones, Tyquan Lewis, and Tracy Sprinkle are able to pin their ears back in hopes of getting after Mayfield, it will make his ability to complete passes down the field difficult, no matter how suspect OSU’s inexperienced corners are.

So, while the Heisman-contender quarterback will certainly be important to OU’s success, what might be more impactful is if the Sooners are able to eek out enough of a running game to give Coach Johnson the slightest bit of hesitation when deciding to send his defensive line into the backfield.

Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson made an early impact against Indiana
Christopher Jason via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


The new Buckeye offensive coordinator dialed up some quality plays in the passing attack.

It didn’t take long for new offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson to put his fingerprints on the Ohio State offense. In the Week 1 matchup against the Indiana Hoosiers, we saw tempo, wheel routes, crossing patterns, wide receiver screens and more high percentage throws for J.T. Barrett. Although the first half looked more like the inconsistent 2016 offense, the receivers started to gain separation and Barrett started to hit his open receivers which resulted in some big plays.


Looking at the chart above, the offensive line did an excellent job keeping Barrett in a clean pocket and upright. On 37 dropbacks, I charted only four pressures, two hits and one sack on Barrett. The quarterback was under siege last year, and it looks like Isaiah Prince held his own against the Indiana front. Left tackle Jamarco Jones was credited with the only sack allowed on the night.

Wilson dialed up a shallow crosser for Parris Campbell early and it was very successful. As you can see below, Wilson catches Indiana in man coverage. Campbell is lined up in the slot on the right of the line of scrimmage, while Marcus Baugh (#85) is lined up in the left slot and Johnnie Dixon (#1) is lined up outwide to the left.


Campbell runs a three-yard crossing pattern, while Baugh basically runs a pick on Campbell’s man and Dixon picks a linebacker sitting in the middle of the field. These two picks open up Campbell for an easy, high percentage throw from Barrett.



The one concerning thing about Barrett’s day was once again his accuracy. Sure, his receivers didn’t help him in the first half by not gaining great separation, but he also overthrew his target six times. With his offensive line giving him a clean pocket for the majority of his throws and Wilson giving him quality throwing windows, Barrett needs to complete the tougher throws downfield (below) to take this offense to the next level.



On the perimeter, Zone 6 had two key downfield blocks which sprung their teammates for long scores. On Campbell’s touchdown reception, Terry McLaurin had a great block that was in the difference in a 30-yard gain and a 74-yard score.



On Johnnie Dixon’s 59-yard score, Binjimen Victor also threw a key block on a corner, allowing Dixon to scamper to the end zone for the first time as a Buckeye.



After struggling to block on the perimeter since the departure of Evan Spencer, it looks like Zach Smith’s group is back in a big way — both as pass-catchers and as blockers.

Overall, the offense had little wrinkles from Kevin Wilson that make the offense much tougher to defend in man-coverage and should return Barrett to his 2014 form. The offense is still a run-first, inside zone team, but the passing game will put Barrett in a better place to succeed, while they give their four- and five-star athletes space to make plays. J.K. Dobbins was excellent (that jump-cut?) in his first collegiate game, and the return of Mike Weber -- especially in short yardage — will make the running game even tougher to defend.

Look for the offense to continue where it left off next week against Oklahoma.

Oklahoma shutdown cornerback Jordan Thomas could give Ohio State’s offense problems
Kyle Sumner McKinnon via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


A passing game in its infancy meets four-year starter Jordan Thomas.

Few players are as important to their team as Oklahoma cornerback Jordan Thomas.

A four-year starter, Thomas snagged two interceptions to go along with his 17 pass breakups – third most in school history – last season. His 49 tackles were good for a career-high and he could surpass that personal best in 2017.

When the two-time, All-Big 12 corner is locked in, he can lockdown any receiver in the country. Oklahoma’s coverage on defense is literally predicated on Thomas completely eliminating one side of the field.


The difference between the Sooners winning a third consecutive conference title and returning to the College Football Playoff partly rests on Thomas’ shoulders.

Just don’t actually tell him that. He’d say the exact opposite, which he did, per CNHI Sports Oklahoma.


Referring back to what I said earlier, the 6-foot-0, 185-pound Thomas is not only capable of taking away an offense’s top receiving target, but can eliminate an entire side of the field.

Sooner wideout Jeffery Mead praised Thomas during training camp for his ability to play the ball and read receivers.


After tossing UTEP aside 56-7 in their season-opener, Oklahoma will soon arrive in Columbus to square off with OSU under the lights. In his final go-round as a Sooner, Thomas is going to want to make this one count, so keep an eye on him throughout the night.

If he’s indeed locked in and is blanketing a whole side of the field, it’ll make life exceedingly difficult for a Buckeye passing game that has never been able to duplicate their performance against Oklahoma in 2016.

It’s up to Thomas to ensure it stays that way, a harsh reality for OSU.

5-star offensive tackle Devontae Dobbs to visit Ohio State this Saturday
Geoff Hammersley via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


The No. 1 OT will be visiting one of the biggest games the Buckeyes play this season.

As we reach Wednesday, we are now just a few more days away until the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes tackle the No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners inside The Horseshoe for a 7:30 p.m. battle of top-five ranked teams.

Already, Urban Meyer has held his weekly press conference, and insights were disseminated. But as the student-athletes and coaches prepare for the game, there is another battle to be won: recruiting. A bevy of talent will be descending upon Columbus, Ohio this weekend, including the No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2019 class.

A game with top schools brings top talent


Five-star OT Devontae Dobbs (Belleville, MI/Belleville) has been a target of the Ohio State recruiting efforts. The 2019 prospect went to the Friday Night Lights camp hosted by OSU back in July, and the Buckeyes have been in a battle with the Michigan Wolverines for the prospect.

In an article written by Bill Kurelic of Bucknuts, Dobbs confirmed that he will be at the game on Saturday. For the Buckeyes, this is very big news. Meyer’s squad gets the first chance this season to talk with the No. 1 prospect from Michigan, and can make inroads at one of the biggest games of the college football season.

Those inroads couldn’t come soon enough, as the 247sports Crystal Ball tracker has three predictions that Dobbs will go to the Buckeyes, and three predictions that have Dobbs going to the Wolverines. However, the last three predictions that were filed all went to Jim Harbaugh’s program.

While there is plenty of time until National Signing Day 2019, the impressions made now can be the difference maker. So far, 26 offers have come in for Dobbs. Programs like Alabama and Clemson, the last two national champions, have already made offers to Dobbs.

The competition is there, but the Buckeyes get the early advantage by getting Dobbs on campus for a major non-conference contest. Whichever program gets the commitment from Dobbs is picking up an absolute star-of-tomorrow. The Belleville, Mich., native is the No. 8 prospect in the whole 2019 class—and is the top prospect at his position, and in the state.

Once the visit concludes, we’ll have you covered on any updates surrounding Dobbs and the Buckeyes.

The Eyes of Texas


Also visiting this weekend for the OSU-OU game is five-star cornerback Anthony Cook. Cook is a Houston native, and is making his commitment on Oct. 30; right now, the three schools that are vying for the CB are Ohio State, Texas, and LSU.

Even though the three schools are college football powers, 13-of-15 predictions in the 247sports Crystal Ball have Cook going to the Buckeyes. Nothing is set in stone, but it’s reassuring for a Buckeye fan to know that a lot of the recruiting followers have Cook to Columbus.

Once again, Meyer and his coaches have a big opportunity to sell the program to another five-star prospect in person this Saturday night.

Vegas: Ohio State’s national title odds slightly better after Week 1 win at Indiana
Geoff Hammersley via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


The Buckeyes have the second best odds to win the whole enchilada.

With all the Week 1 games now in the books, the focus shifts to Week 2. Going into the second true week of the college football season, the sportsbook Bovada has issued their new odds on who they think will end the season holding the national championship in Atlanta, as well as updated odds on who they think will take home the Heisman Trophy.

Ohio State carries the second best odds for the college football world at 6/1. Last week, the Buckeyes’ odds were 13/2—which simplified down is 6.5/1. If Urban Meyer’s squad can get past the Oklahoma Sooners this Saturday, then expect the Buckeyes to have even better odds for the second consecutive week.

Alabama still holds the best odds to win it all, but their odds have become slightly longer. In the last set of Bovada listings on Aug. 31, the Crimson Tide registered a 12/5 chance of winning the title; those odds are now 13/5 after their win against Florida State inside the new Mercedes Benz Stadium—which happens to be the site of the College Football Playoff National Championship this season.

The third best odds belong to USC. Like ‘Bama, the Trojans took a small slide on their national title odds after Week 1, going from 6/1 (Aug.31) to 7/1 (Sept.5). Additionally, quarterback Sam Darnold took a hit to his Heisman odds after the reigning Rose Bowl champions struggled mightily with Western Michigan in their own backyard.

Below are the top 10 teams with the best national championship odds, according to Bovada.


On the Heisman circuit, Darnold was the leader last week with 9/2 odds to take home the trophy. Now, his odds are 6/1, and that makes him second on the list. Defending Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson of Louisville has slingshotted up the odds table, and has the best odds going into Week 2 at 4/1.

J.T. Barrett slid to eighth on the list, and carries 14/1 odds this week. Sooners’ QB Baker Mayfield has the third best odds at 7/1—maintaining the same odds from last week. A good hypothesis: The winning QB from the Ohio State-Oklahoma contest will more than likely see their Heisman odds move up heading into Week 3.

UCLA Bruins QB Josh Rosen had one of the larger rises of the week after leading the Bruins to a victory against Texas A&M, 45-44, after trailing 44-10 late in the third quarter. Rosen was a 25/1 longshot before the season started, and now has 8/1 odds going into Week 2.

Seminoles’ QB Deondre Francois, who suffered a season-ending knee injury late in the game against the Crimson Tide, had 18/1 odds last week. Now, due to the injury, he is off the board. Additionally, Texas Longhorns QB Shane Buechele is off the board, too. Before the Longhorns’ home loss to unranked Maryland, 51-41, Buechele had 50/1 odds of being a Heisman winner.

Below is a table of the top 10 odds for who will walk away with the Heisman Trophy, according to Bovada.
