Game Thread Nebraska @ Ohio State - 11/03/18, 12:00PM (FOX)

Login to view embedded media
The Not So Good…
  • The passing game was erratic at best. It was Haskins lowest completion percentage of the year (aided by two drops as well).
  • Third Down conversions were 33% for the game. But we only had nine third down plays.
The Bad…
  • Three turnovers.
  • Despite limiting the explosive plays, Nebraska held an edge in overall success rate. And the yards per play of 5.49 is still more than a good defense should permit.
Yeah, in addition to "missed tackles" and some of the "penalties", the "turnovers" and "dropped passes" need to get eliminated.

OH QB Jeffery Beverly

THE HURRY UP: MICHIGAN GAINING SIGNIFICANT GROUND WITH ZACH HARRISON, MORE DETAILS ABOUT JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA AND GOOD NEWS ON AIDAN KEANAAINA

BEVERLY RELEASES FRESHMAN TAPE

Back on Oct. 11, I spoke with Franklin Heights quarterback Jeffery Beverly about his visit to Ohio State earlier this season. At the time, Beverly said, "I like how [Ohio State] is a big team and filled with a bunch of kids who want to graduate and earn a degree. I'm looking to just build a better relationship and eventually see more and learn more about OSU."

Beverly, in the class of 2022, has already been on multiple visits to Ohio State and has kept in contact with coaches Ryan Day, Devon Smith and Ed Terwilliger. This past week, he posted his freshman season highlight video.

Sharrif Floyd (official thread)

Sharrif Floyd suing Dr. James Andrews for $180M

Andrews and the Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, alleging he suffered permanent nerve and muscle damage following a knee procedure in September 2016.

The lawsuit was announced in a statement by Floyd's lawyer Brad Sohn that was obtained by NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

"If you break something, you pay for it," Sohn said. "And this lawsuit seeks to hold the parties' responsible who we allege have done so. This guy went in for a routine knee scope and left without his incredibly lucrative career."

The suit alleges Floyd was told he needed arthroscopic knee surgery and that he'd be out for 3-4 weeks. Instead, he underwent a more "significant procedure" and suffered permanent nerve and muscle damage in his right leg that Floyd and his lawyers believe was the result of a negligently administered pain blocker by the Andrews Institute.

Just sayin': Floyd should have worked on a law defgree at Florida. If his cases are actually legit (and I have no reason to believe they aren't), he could save millions in legal fees.

Who bought cheap candy for Halloween?

Well, I made my annual pilgrimage to the candy/holiday aisle on November 1... so I bought Halloween candy for cheap. Does that count.
And yes, I'll be headed that way on December 26, February 15, and the Monday after Easter.
No, buying quality candy for a discount, does not constitute buying cheap candy (dollar tree(

The world is a worse place today...

One of the best men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing died today at 96. Dwight Davis served as a bomber in WWII before his plane went down and he was captured by the Germans where he was kept as a POW.

His story is one of strength and faith. On his last night as a POW being forcibly marched north along the Baltic, he feel asleep on the beach certain that he would not live to see the morning due to the cold. In the morning, he woke under a blanket of snow that he forever believed that's God had used to save his life. He weighed 98 pounds when he was freed.

I got to hear much of his story last year when he spoke on National POW day at the Champaign Aviation Museum and it's an incredible story.

Below is a link to an interview he did with the Ohio History Connection. I haven't gotten to watch it yet, but I expect it will be much like what I heard last summer.

If you have the time, give it a watch. I can almost guarantee it will be worth it.

DB Tre Avery, fka Kareem Felder (transfer to Toledo, transfer to Rutgers Scarlet Knights)

TRE AVERY, CORNERBACK, RUTGERS
If the name Tre Avery does not sound familiar, it's because he was once known as Kareem Felder when he signed with Ohio State in 2016. Before arriving in Columbus, however, Felder decided to enroll at Toledo instead, where he did not see game action.

The Baltimore native then went to the Garden State, changed his name, and rode the bench for the Scarlet Knights last season.

So far this season, Avery has recorded two tackles for the Scarlet Knights.

OL Jack Wohlabaugh (transfer to Duke Blue Devils)

JACK WOHLABAUGH, OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, DUKE
A low-ranking member of Ohio State's class when he signed, Wohlabaugh really never had a shot to be a valuable member of the Buckeyes.

After two seasons in which he redshirted and then did not see any playing time, Wohlabaugh elected to transfer to Duke.

So far, Wohlabaugh has played in every game for the Blue Devils this season.

DB Joshua Norwood (transfer to NW Mississippi CC, transfer to West Virginia Mountaineers)

A Georgia native, Norwood is on his third school in three years.

He has racked up 31 tackles, six pass deflections, and a forced fumble so far this season.
