SNAP COUNTS:

Snap Counts: Brock Boyd Leads Wide Receivers in Playing Time, But Khary Wilder Plays Only 11 Snaps As Ohio State Plays Deep Into Bench vs. Kent State​


164063_h.jpg


Ohio State took advantage of another opportunity to play deep into its bench in its final non-conference game of the season against Kent State.

37 Buckeyes saw playing time on offense while another 37 played on defense as Ohio State routed the Golden Flashes, 59-3. The Buckeyes played down to at least the third row of the depth chart at every offensive and defensive position group, testing their depth in what will likely be one of their last opportunities this season to give their backups extended playing time.

Buckeyes who saw their roles increase against Kent State from previous weeks included freshman wideout Brock Boyd, who played the most snaps among all receivers against the Golden Flashes. On the offensive line, Gabe VanSickle made his first start of the season at right guard and played all 48 snaps with the first-team offense, while Jake Cook played the biggest role of his Buckeye career to date as he played the sixth offensive line spot in the Bison package.

Defensive players who saw expanded roles against Kent State included defensive ends Epi Sitanilei and Qua Russaw, defensive tackle Jason Moore and linebackers Riley Pettijohn and TJ Alford, who led or tied for the lead in snaps at their respective position groups. One player who surprisingly didn’t see a big increase in snaps, however, was highly touted freshman pass-rusher Khary Wilder, who continued to see little playing time outside of the third-down Rushmen package even with starting defensive end Zion Grady sidelined for the game due to injury.

Our full report on how many snaps each Buckeye played on offense or defense against Kent State is below. Snap counts are courtesy of Pro Football Focus’ premium statistics, though a couple of snap counts along the offensive line were corrected to account for discrepancies we noticed while rewatching the game. (Note: Special teams snap counts are not included as they had not been published by PFF as of Sunday night.)

He needs to accept that they can't line up and ram it down the throat for that 3rd and 2 and find something else. We have the weapons to get those, but that doesn't include 3 TE's and a handoff.

Exactly. There's nothing wrong with being a finesse team until you try to play like 1990s Wisconsin. Get over being called soft and beat the shit out of somebody 70-27 with finesse.

Cincinnati Bearcats (Juggalos official thread of Faygo)

Juggalos troll Miami U after win:

the Bearcats posted a video to troll the RedHawks afterward, referencing the long stretches of the game Miami led with a clip from a viral commercial in which a fishing line is used to pull a dollar bill away, with the angler saying, "Ooh, you almost had it. You gotta be quicker than that."

Edited on top of the dollar bill in Cincinnati's version of the video? The Victory Bell trophy, awarded to the winner of Bearcats-RedHawks rivalry games.

Dillon Gabriel already had a phantom back injury to go on IR, so they are just waiting for something to justify putting Watson on there. Maybe a hang nail, maybe he slips and falls in the shower, who knows.

I think that's what they are hoping for. I'm sure the moron fan base will boo him as soon as he steps on the field next week, even after winning a game and outplaying the guy he replaced. Noted; neither of them were the answer at QB, and Sanders and Manning aren't either. Side note, there's no way Dawand is worse than the stiff they have at RT.

I think I'm at under 50% that Monkin is back as HC next year. They'll probably fire him and hire Schwartz.

Ohio State Opens As a 27.5-Point Favorite Over Illinois In the Battle for the Illibuck​

Ohio State will open up Big Ten play as a four-touchdown favorite over head coach Bret Bielema’s Fighting Illini.

DraftKings Sportsbook has the Buckeyes favored by 27.5 points for their Sept. 26 matchup against Illinois in Columbus.
Ohio State moved to 3-0 against the spread this season with its 59-3 win over Kent State. Meanwhile, Illinois has failed to cover the spread in all three games this season.

The game’s over/under opens at 53.5 points. Illinois has hit the over in all three of its games this season, while Ohio State has done so twice. The Buckeyes and Longhorns fell short of the total in their Week 2 matchup in Austin.

Ohio State has won its last 10 games against Illinois, including Ryan Day’s only matchup with the Illini as a head coach last season. The Buckeyes covered the spread in that game, while the total went under in Day and Bielema’s first head-to-head matchup.

You're acting like bringing in Legend Bey and then not giving the ball to him until the SECOND play isn't unpredictable. Raise your hand if you knew he was getting the ball on the second play.


Oh. Everyone? Everyone saw that coming? Huh.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

lvbuckeye said:
Can someone please explain this offense's philosophy to me? What is their base play? What is their base formation? How did Ryan Day go from "spread to run" and JK Dobbins running for 2,000 freaking yards, to packing the box with 9 or 10 defenders via 3 tight ends that apparently aren't threats in the passing game OR the running game?

Are the Buckeyes ever going to have 5 OL that can just blow the DL off the line ever again?

We had a OL last year who never even played a snap the last 6 games, and not only did Ethan Onianwa get drafted, he made the Falcons' 53 man roster. Wtf are we even doing?
