Top 2018 prospects have Ohio State among leaders
Charles Doss via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
The Buckeyes are in the mix for numerous top junior recruits.
While Ohio State might’ve not landed a verbal commitment over the holiday weekend, the Buckeyes still found a way to get their name in the recruiting headlines.
Before you can land a pledge you have to be among a recruit’s leaders. Over the past few days, Urban Meyer’s crew definitely became one step closer to adding to their list of future Buckeyes playmakers. Finding themselves already among the leaders to land a long list of soon-to-be senior recruits, three more class of 2018 prospects announced the Buckeyes are still in the running for their commitment.
On Saturday, a pair of junior recruits announced their top college list with the Buckeyes mentioned.
Four-star offensive lineman Barton Clement (Missouri City, TX / Fort Bend Marshall) took time out of his day with family and love ones to share a picture of his current headliners: Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Michigan:

The Buckeyes are putting pressure on the Longhorn State; at the moment, Clement has around a dozen scholarship offers, and is thought to be leaning towards staying closer to his Missouri City, Texas home base.
Soon after the 6-foot-2, 305-pound blocker announced his leaders, four-star running back Iverson Clement (Mount Holly, NJ / Rancocas Valley) took to his Twitter page to let the world know he is highly considering suiting up on the next level at either Ohio State, Michigan, Rutgers, Florida, Tennessee or Penn State.
Top 6 schools that me and family and coaches will be focusing on and will try to attend there Junioir day still open but for now this is my6 pic.twitter.com/8SzfzfGF1f
— Iverson Clement (@Swaggy__ai) December 25, 2016
Earning his offer from the Buckeyes in November, the New Jersey product made a trip to the OSU campus just days later and has been feeling what the Meyer and crew has to offer ever since.
Per the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Clement, who rushed for over 1,400 yards and 19 touchdowns as a junior at Rancocas Valley High School in Mt. Holly, NJ., is currently considered the 21st athlete, and 284th overall prospect in the class of 2018.
After becoming one step closer to adding a pair of elite recruits on Saturday the Buckeyes had another key recruit formally let it be known that Ohio State is still in the mix to potentially land their signature on the dotted line.
On Christmas day, five-star 2018 offensive lineman Jackson Carman (Fairfield, OH / Fairfield) had some college football fans thinking he would commit to a college program. That didn’t happen. Instead the U.S. Army All-American let his top 10 out to the public:
Merry Christmas
Here is my top 10 pic.twitter.com/la5XFlhCmB
— Jackson Carman (@Jackthejiant) December 25, 2016
Pegged as an OSU lean for quite awhile, Carmen is taking a hard look at not just Ohio State, but also has interest in Clemson, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin and USC.
Taking in multiple games at Ohio State, Carmen had the following to say after watching JT Barrett, Mike Weber, Sam Hubbard, Malik Hooker and the rest of the Buckeyes defeat the Badgers, 30-23.
“Ohio State, even though they're young is just so spectacular to watch because they play like vets. They've yet to succumb to the average young team traits like inexperience or underdevelopment,” Jackson stated to Land-Grant Holy Land on the Buckeyes come from behind win over Wisconsin in October.
Even though Ohio State has made Carman a top priority on the recruiting trail, we’ll have to wait a little longer to see what colors he will don on the college level. Stick with Land-Grant Holy Land for the latest.

- You can’t get them all. As expected four-star class of 2018 safety Jordan Moore committed to Texas A&M on Christmas Eve. Moore, who picked up a scholarship from Ohio State during the summer chose the Aggies over not just the Buckeyes, but also programs such as Texas and Oklahoma. The twin brother of wide receiver Joshua Moore, an OSU target, Jordan’s pledge to Texas A&M will play no role in Joshua’s college decision.

Joey Bosa hit a mean O-h-i-o to ring in Christmas in Cleveland
Luke Zimmermann via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
Merry Christmas, indeed.
Merry Christmas (and Happy Chanukah to our chosen brethren) from all your friends at Land-Grant Holy Land. If you’re reading this on a brand new laptop, tablet, or smart phone, allow us to be the first to say, “LUCKY!” (/extremely Napoleon Dynamite voice).
Whether you’re celebrating the holidays, enjoying time away from the hustle and bustle with loved ones, or being a bit of a grinch -- we’ve all been there! — we’re thrilled you decided to spend even a few minutes of your Christmas Day with us at the Holy Land.
Those of you who’ve been reading us since the beginning know we have a series called “Why Is This News?”. It runs each weekday usually between 4:30 and 6 p.m. ET.
The premise is simple: We riff off three to five quotes to know, linking/crediting the source of those talking points and writing about what they mean for Ohio State fans. We close things with some silly off-topic links we call “STICK TO SPORTS”. It’s one of our most popular and well received regular pieces.
Well, what with it being Christmas and all, we figured what better time than to do a bit of a spin on WITN? (as we’re known to abbreviate it) and remix it with a little bit of an Advent Calendar flair? Unfortunately there’s not exactly a lot of news, news happening as the Buckeyes get ready to make their way to Phoenix to take on Clemson December 31 and with the holidays and all.
We’ll try and keep it light and fun accordingly, mixing sports and non-sports, and hey, maybe if you like what you see, you can come back each week night and take in more? Deal?
Happy holidays again. Thanks for your continued support of Land-Grant Holy Land.
And sack No. 9.5 for @jbbigbear ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#SDvsCLE #ChargeOn https://t.co/yXWnH51owA
— San Diego Chargers (@Chargers) December 24, 2016
Former Ohio State standout Joey Bosa was back on the field in the great state of Ohio for the first time since the 2015 Michigan State debacle. He capped off his first Christmas Eve as a pro appropriately with two sacks and five more tackles to go with it.
While his first ever trip to the Dogpound didn’t go exactly as planned, the outcome did guarantee the Browns wouldn’t join the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams to go winless in NFL history. Another win for Ohio over Michigan, no?
Bosa’s rookie year has all but put him in the driver’s seat for the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award. You’ve certainly heard of the guy likely a mortal lock for the offensive award too.
For all the on the field highs of the Urban Meyer era, recruiting analysts have been pretty uniform in stating it wasn’t the College Football Playoff national championship that’s most benefitted the Ohio State recruiting industrial complex; it’s the explosion of the number of guys drafted and their subsequent success in the pros that’s helping ensure more and more future supertalents head to Central Ohio.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our own Elflein...

If you’re lucky enough to have kids, were any of yours fortunate enough to get their very own The Elflein on The Shelf?
Ohio State football took to Twitter bright and early Sunday morning to give everyone some holiday cheer with the above great video featuring Rimington Trophy winner Pat Elflein.
Elflein, one of the “Loyal 11”, who honored their Ohio State commitments after the tattoo-for-bartering scandal culminated in the firing of then head coach Jim Tressel, had quite the Buckeye career. From lowest rated prospect in his class, to national champion, to the most decorated center in the country after not having played center primarily any of his previous seasons in scarlet and gray.
The Buckeye captain’s personality helps showcase why he’s such a force in the locker room. Whenever OSU’s 2016-17 playoff run comes to an end, Elflein will be one of a number of upperclassmen we’ll miss dearly.
“That’s the first thing you think about when you wake up,” Lewis said. “I’m thinking ‘Dominate’ as soon as I wake up.”
-Tyquan Lewis to Tim May, Columbus Dispatch
Even with the holidays here, with the looming challenge of a rematch of the 2014 Orange Bowl just on the horizon, it's impossible to get Ohio State football players' thoughts too far from the task at hand.
Buckeye football players get the morning to themselves but have to report back to The Woody (aka the Woody hayes Athletic Center) in order to get everything in order for a Monday flight to Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport.
As the venerable Tim May outlines, even when spending time with family and friends, Buckeye football players fill the gaps by watching film on their iPads or trying to visualize how they’ll do their jobs when the situation calls for it as the No. 2 seeded Tigers attempt to return to their second straight national title game and the Bucks seek to upend them to make their second in three seasons.
New Year’s Eve can’t get here soon enough.

Revisiting Ohio State’s exhilarating history with the Fiesta Bowl

The Buckeyes are getting set for their seventh Fiesta Bowl foray.
We’re less than a week away from what we’ve all been anxiously waiting for since The Spot Was Good.
Ohio State. Clemson. Fiesta Bowl.
Monday, the Buckeyes will arrive in Glendale, Arizona, to gland-hand the Yellow Blazer Brigade and commence final preparations for their College Football Playoff semifinal matchup. Next Saturday night will be Ohio State’s seventh Fiesta Bowl appearance, so what better time than now than to re-live the Buckeyes’ previous five encounters in the desert. Your boy wasn’t born yet when Ohio State competed in the 1980 (a 31-19 defeat by Penn State) or 1983 (a 28-23 win over Pittsburgh) Fiesta Bowls, so those two contests were omitted in this column.
Note: Florida’s romp over Ohio State in the 2007 BCS title game was played in Glendale but was not the actual Fiesta Bowl for the 2006-07 season — that honor went to Boise State and Oklahoma. The BCS increased from four games to five prior to that season, which provided the BCS sites with an additional BCS game once every five years. This is why the 2002-03 BCS title game between Ohio State and Miami was also a Fiesta Bowl game.
Got it? Good. Games were ranked by a combination of excitement and quality of play. Let’s go! (John Junker gift package sold separately.)
5. Jan. 1, 2016: Ohio State 44, Notre Dame 28
Some thought the defending national champs may not get up for this game after missing out on a chance to reach the College Football Playoff for the second year in a row. They postulated that a squad that would go on to have 11 of the first 102 players selected in the 2016 NFL Draft may not put forth maximum effort in what amounted to playoff consolation game between two teams that finished seventh (Ohio State) and eighth (Notre Dame) in the final playoff rankings.
They thought wrong.
The Buckeyes smacked the Fighting Irish upside the head with a 2x4 for much of the game, gashing Brian Kelly’s group for 285 yards on the ground and 496 total yards. The game lost some of its shine in the first quarter due to Ohio State’s incredible start (the Buckeyes were ahead 14-0 barely halfway through the first quarter) and because of a pair of player departures. On the Buckeyes’ second TD drive, Notre Dame star linebacker Jaylon Smith suffered a serious left knee injury that he still hasn’t fully recovered from. A few minutes later, Ohio State defensive lineman Joey Bosa was ejected for targeting.
The Buckeyes led by as much as 28-7 before half, but the Irish recovered to score just before intermission and again on their first possession of the third quarter to close to within 28-21. But, Ezekiel Elliott’s 47-yard TD run on Ohio State’s next drive restored order as the Buckeyes would go on to tack on three additional field goals.
The win upped the record of Ohio State’s senior class to 50-4, which tied Boise State’s 2011 seniors for the best mark in a four-year window.
4. Jan. 2, 2004: Ohio State 35, Kansas State 28
No. 4 and No. 5 on this list are essentially interchangeable, as they featured Ohio State teams coming off national championships.
Things weren’t so rosy at the start for the Buckeyes opposite the Wildcats, as their first two drives ended with a Craig Krenzel interception and a 3-and-out. But Ohio State’s defense held — the Silver Bullets forced the Wildcats to punt on their first six (!) possessions — and Ohio State’s offense eventually found its footing. Following John Hollins’ blocked punt return for a touchdown, Krenzel found Santonio Holmes and Michael Jenkins for a pair of TD passes before half.
Kansas State closed to 21-14 early in the third quarter, but Jenkins and Holmes reeled in two more TD passes to stretch the margin. The Wildcats actually recovered a late onside kick, but were whistled for a false start.
Other tidbits about this game: Kansas State QB Ell Roberson was permitted to play despite being accused of sexual assault by a woman earlier in the week. (Roberson was never charged.) ... Ohio State’s B.J. Sander punted seven times in the game, landing three inside the 20, which helped keep Darren Sproles (still in the NFL!) in check. Sproles was held to 10 yards on four punt returns, and also gained just 46 yards on 13 combined rushing and receiving touches. Sander would go to be a third round pick of the Green Bay Packers (lol). ... Jenkins moved ahead of David Boston for the program lead in receiving yards in this game, a record he still holds.
3. Jan. 2, 2006: Ohio State 34, Notre Dame 20
Each of Ohio State’s four touchdowns went for at least 56 yards as Troy Smith, Ted Ginn Jr., Santonio Holmes, and Antonio Pittman lit up the Tempe, Arizona, sky in Sun Devil Stadium’s Fiesta Bowl finale.
The Irish struck first on a 20-yard touchdown run by Darius Walker, but Buckeyes responded with three successive touchdowns: a 56-yard bomb to Ginn Jr.; a 68-yard run by Ginn Jr. off a reverse that Brent Musberger proclaimed a touchdown 40 yards before Ginn Jr. hit paydirt; and an 85-yard pass to Holmes, a play that was reminiscent of a Smith-to-Ginn Jr. connection in the 2006 Ohio State-Michigan game.
Ohio State, which finished with 617 yards of offense, kept Notre Dame in the game with two fumbles and a pair of missed field goals. The Irish crept to within 27-20 with five minutes and 27 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, but Smith’s shades-of-Michigan escape-and-completion to Anthony Gonzalez with two and a half minutes left led to Pittman’s game-clinching 60-yard TD sprint.
2. Jan. 2, 2006: Texas 24, Ohio State 21
After Boom Herron burst through the Longhorn line to push the Buckeyes ahead 21-17 with 2:05 left in the game, I turned to the Texas fan (a guy I had been chatting with all game) sitting next to me inside University of Phoenix Stadium and said, “They scored too fast.”
Less than two minutes later, Ohio State made me a prophet. Colt McCoy found Quan Cosby for their 14th connection of the game, a 26-yard catch-and-run that send Ohio State to its third consecutive BCS setback. The Buckeyes yielded a very un-Silver-Bullets-like 468 yards, with McCoy finishing 41-of-58 for 414 yards.
Things looked very bleak for Ohio State as the third quarter ended. The Longhorns led 17-6 and the OSU offense had gone MIA. But, everything changed when Todd Boeckman found Brian Robiskie for 48 yards on 3rd-and-13 from the OSU 24 on the first play of the fourth frame. The Buckeyes settled for a field goal on that drive, but then added two straight touchdowns (with the Texas offense producing two punts), with the aforementioned score by Herron preceded by Boeckman’s TD toss to freshman QB Terrelle Pryor.
1. Jan. 3, 2003: Ohio State 31, Miami 24, 2OT
I own a VHS tape of this game, so if the apocalypse ever finds fruition, I only need a VCR, a television, and a working electrical outlet to re-watch this titanic struggle. Nearly 14 years after the game was played, it still stands as one of college football’s most exciting, holy-bleep-did-that-really-just-happen contests.
Ohio State’s disaster of a start on offense (three punts, an INT, a failed fake field goal on first five possessions). Maurice Clarett stripping Sean Taylor. Willis McGahee’s unsightly knee injury. Chris Gamble’s catch-to-potentially-ice-the-game-that-wasn’t. Todd Sievers’ kick to force overtime. Official Terry Porter’s late DPI flag in the first overtime. Cie Grant’s well-timed blitz to blow up Miami’s final chance.
As great a game as this was, the tilt wasn’t terribly well-played. Craig Krenzel completed just seven of 21 passes and threw a pair of picks, including one in the end zone. The Hurricanes turned the ball over five times. The Buckeyes logged nine penalties.
