LGHL Ohio State’s 2018 football schedule is finally taking shape

Plus, OSU women’s hockey names four captains, and men’s lacrosse returns almost all of their top-scorers in 2019.

“The Big Ten Conference, along with the Big Ten Network, FOX and ESPN, has released start times and television carriers for the first three weeks of the Big Ten season and also for some additional select games this year.”

-Ohio State Athletics


As schools end for the summer and temperatures creep higher than we had begged for in January, football season is just around the corner. The past couple of weeks have seen a lot of changes and additions to future schedules for the Buckeyes — like no more Texas home-and-home series, and Toledo being added to 2022 — but, even though we already knew the dates and opponents, the 2018 schedule is finally starting to take a more well-defined shape.

Here’s what we know so far:

  • The season and home opener for Ohio State on Sept. 1 will feature Oregon State — in what I will forever call “The Battle of OSUs” — and kickoff will be at noon and televised on ABC.
  • The Buckeyes will take on Rutgers the next week, Sept. 8, and will be aired on the Big Ten Network, with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m.
  • Ohio State’s first primetime game of the year will be against TCU on the road at the neutral-site AT&T Stadium. ABC will televise the event, which will get underway at 8 p.m.
  • The Indiana game on Oct. 6 is set to be the Homecoming matchup and will either kickoff at 3:30 or 4 p.m. that day in Columbus (TV channel TBA).
  • Finally, the season finale and annual edition of “The Game” will be televised on FOX and will have the standard noon kickoff time. (It’s harder to burn couches and climb lightpoles in the middle of the afternoon... I said harder, not impossible.)

There are still some chances for the Buckeyes to claim more primetime games in the months leading up to the season — most notably against Penn State and/or Michigan State — but the NCAA is required to give teams at least a 12-day notice.

“While Sullinger is not officially on the roster yet, there is one addition that Penn confirmed to Jackson and McCoy. Former Penn State guard Talor Battle will be a member of Team Scarlet and Gray this summer.”

-Patrick Murphy, Bucknuts 247 Sports


Today was the day for the finalized rosters for The Basketball Tournament, and Team Scarlet and Gray may end up making a late addition depending on how things pan out. Jared Sullinger was notably absent from this year’s roster, after being a big contributor for the team during last year’s tournament.

Team GM Scoonie Penn spoke to 105.7 The Zone this week and said there’s still a chance the Buckeye big man makes an appearance for Team Scarlet and Gray. Sullinger is getting married this summer which apparently is throwing a wrench in the plan.


“There’s a good chance. There is,” Penn told 105.7 The Zone’s Stan Jackson and Matt McCoy this week.

”Jared’s getting married this summer, so that kind of messes things up a little bit. We know Jared. And it’s going to be here in the city and he’s probably gonna be alright. You’ll probably see him out there. Most likely.”

Even if the team is without Sullinger, they did bring in a Penn State alum to round out the roster. Initially Penn — as most Buckeye fans would be — was hesitant to bring in someone who didn’t play for Ohio State, but Talor Battle has close ties to this group of Buckeyes and has trained with them during the offseason on more than one occasion.

Team Scarlet and Gray earned an automatic bid to compete in the 2018 TBT thanks to last year’s effort as the Midwest region champions. This year’s Midwest regional will get underway on July 20, and there’s a chance Thad Matta’s Buckeyes will face off against some of Chris Holtmann’s Buckeyes competing on the Big Ten team “Big X.”

“I’m incredibly humbled by the opportunity to wear the ‘C’ and to work alongside my fellow co-captains,” Dunne said. “I think we have a really special group of young women who are all hungry to continue building off of last year’s success.”

-Jincy Dunne via Ohio State Athletics


Ohio State women’s hockey had an impressive 2017-18 season, and is hoping to carry that momentum into next season. The first step in their preseason planning is setting the team’s captains and assistant captains.

The Buckeyes promoted Jincy Dunne to full captain after she ultimately took over the responsibilities last season as an assistant midseason. She was a driving force in leading the team, and will step up even further, alongside her co-captain Erin Langermeier.


“It all comes back to Jincy taking over as an assistant captain halfway through last season and getting to watch her grow and become an elite leader both on and off the ice,” OSU Head Coach Nadine Muzerall said. “We needed to compliment her and surround her with fellow leaders that can keep up the high standards set by Julianna Iafallo and Lauren Spring last season.”

Dunne is coming off of a career-best season with 26 points and 24 assists (to tie for the team high), along with earning a slew of postseason honors; including AHCA All-American Second Team, All-USCHO Third Team, and All-WCHA First Team. Heading into her redshirt-junior year, she’s also notched several academic awards, including WCHA All-Academic Team, Academic All-Big Ten and a three-time Ohio State Scholar-Athlete.

Her co-captain, senior Erin Langermeier, started all 39 games last season for Ohio State, and has been a vocal leader in the locker room. Muzerall lauded the new captain saying, “She acts almost like a mom on the team. She’s the one that the ladies can bring their problems to and know they’ll be heard and helped.”

Dunne and Langermeier’s assistant captains are senior Madison Field and junior Olivia Soares.

Field has played in every game since joining the team in 2015, claiming the most appearances (112) of any player on the team. She recorded a career-high 19 goals last season, and nabbed her second-consecutive 30-point season. She was also named the NCAA No. 2 Star of the Week thanks to her five-goal weekend in the opening round of the WCHA Tournament.

Heading into her third season as a Buckeye, Soares has solid experience having played in all 37 games as a freshman, and in 32 games last season. She takes her studies just as seriously as her hockey training, and has earned WCHA Scholar-Athlete status, as well as being named to the WCHA All-Academic Team, the Academic All-Big Ten team, and as an OSU Scholar-Athlete both years.

The women have a few months before they officially take the ice for the 2018-19 season, but they are building a great foundation, and these four captains and assistants should be a big boost to the team as they prepare.

“The 2019 Ohio State men’s lacrosse team will return a large percent of its production on both ends of the field thanks to underclassmen that continue to produce when opportunities arise.”

-Ohio State Athletics


Seven of the top nine scorers for the Buckeyes last season will return for the 2019 season, setting up a lot to be excited about through the offseason.

At the top of the scoring list were then-sophomore Tre Leclaire (37 points), freshman Jackson Reid (28), and junior Jack Jasinski (28). The underclassman performed so well in 2018, that 54 percent (110 of the 204) of the total points scored for OSU were claimed by either a freshman or sophomore. Leclaire, along with Ryan Terefenko, has already earned more than one USILA All-America honor.

Rounding out the impressive young talent were freshman Justin Inacio — who finished the 2018 season ranked No. 1 among freshman nationwide with a .613 winning percentage — and redshirt freshman goalie Josh Kirson.

It might be awhile until we get to see the Buckeyes back on the field and in action, but it’s nice knowing that the 2019 season should be a good one for Ohio State men’s lacrosse.

The Buckeyes bullpen had a day to forget as they fell to South Carolina, 8-3.

Just a day after being named a second-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, Ohio State relief ace Seth Kinker experienced what was perhaps the worst inning of his career in scarlet and gray. Trying to protect a 2-0 lead in the seventh inning, the right-hander surrendered five runs before he could retire the side against South Carolina, as the No. 3 seed Buckeyes fell 8-3 in their opening NCAA tournament game in Greenville.

Coming into the day, Kinker had allowed just 10 earned runs all season. But a three-run homer by center fielder Danny Blair and a two-run single by second baseman Justin Row started the rout, as the second-seeded Gamecocks scored all eight of their runs in their final two at-bats to grab the victory.


CLUTCHHHHH ⚡@GamecockBasebll flips the script with one swing of the bat!!!

Bot 7 | SC 3 | Ohio St. 2 pic.twitter.com/iFySkwfYot

— NCAA Baseball (@NCAACWS) June 1, 2018

Ohio State squandered several scoring opportunities throughout the game, leaving 11 runners on base and stranding the bases loaded twice. The disappointing performance by the team overshadowed freshman Dillon Dingler’s best game of the season. The catcher-turned-center fielder went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, and two runs batted in.

Starter Connor Curlis did his job on the bump and then some for Ohio State, tossing six shutout innings. The southpaw yielded just four hits and two walks while striking out four earning a no-decision.

On a sunny, humid 90-degree afternoon at Clark-LeClair Stadium, Ohio State made South Carolina starter Adam Hill labor. Working long at-bats, the right-hander’s pitch count climbed quickly, and he would be gone before recording an out in the fifth.

As they did throughout the Big Ten tournament last week, the Buckeyes got on the scoreboard first in this one. With one away in the top of the second, Dingler unloaded on a fastball in the middle of the plate, sending it screaming over the left field wall for his fourth home run of the year.

Ohio State would have opportunities again in the fourth and fifth frames, but came away empty. In both innings, the Buckeyes loaded the bases but failed to deliver the clutch hit needed to blow things open.

Meanwhile, Curlis was showing the grit of an ace on the mound. South Carolina had runners in scoring position in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, but the Findlay native executed pitches when he needed to to escape the jams.

The seventh inning is where things turned. Ohio State took a 2-0 lead when Dingler delivered a two-out double down the left field line to score Connor Pohl. With Kinker coming on looking for his 16th save of the season, the Buckeyes had to feel confident.

But the senior sidearmer just didn’t have his best stuff. A pair of singles and a sacrifice bunt gave the Gamecocks two on with one out, and that’s when Blair went yard.

A single and a botched force play at second base set up Row to knock in two more, and the air was taken out of the Ohio State dugout.

Freshman lefty Griffan Smith and senior right-hander Kyle Michalik would follow Kinker and give up another three runs, adding to the bullpen’s woes on the afternoon.

Junior righty Graham Lawson set down the Buckeyes in the eighth, but an error, a single, and a Pohl sacrifice fly led to one last run in the ninth. It was far too little, far too late.

What had at one point looked like a banner day for the boys from Columbus swiftly ended in defeat. Ohio State will have little time to recover, though. The Buckeyes will play an elimination game on Saturday at noon against the loser of the matchup between top seed and host East Carolina and fourth-seeded UNC Wilmington.

Ohio State basketball holds 70-to-1 odds of winning national championship

usa_today_10715470.0.jpg

Those odds were 60-to-1 on April 3.

Bovada, a popular online sportsbook, released a new batch of odds for who they think will take home the 2019 college basketball national championship. For the Ohio State Buckeyes, their odds took a slight tumble.

Right after Villanova won the title in April, early odds had the Buckeyes sitting at a respectable 60-to-1 odds of winning the title next season. Those odds, as of June 1, now sit at 70-to-1.

Believe it or not, the Scarlet and Gray are tied for the fifth best odds among Big Ten schools to bring home the whole enchilada next season. For the Big Ten, the location of next year’s Final Four falls within their territory: U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Michigan and Michigan State hold the best odds as representatives of the conference, both coming in at 25-to-1. The Wolverines—reigning national runner-ups—have held at 25-to-1 since April, but the Spartans have dipped a bit; MSU was at 20-to-1 odds just a couple months ago.

Indiana is the biggest surprise among all programs. They were previously off the board in April, but now have surged to 40-to-1 odds to haul in next season’s title. A solid recruiting class, on top of a big commitment from five-star Romeo Langford, and you have a recipe for believers in the Hoosiers program. Right behind the Archie Miller coached program is another in-state team in Purdue. The Boilermakers hold 50-to-1 odds.

Maryland, like Ohio State, falls into place with 70-to-1 odds.

Below are the top 10 schools, regardless of conference, with the best odds to win the championship.

Could the Buckeyes be landing yet another interior defensive lineman?

If you’re keeping track, we’re officially under 100 days until Ohio State kicks off their 2018 season. With 94 days to be exact, Buckeye football cannot seem to come soon enough. As the summer months approach, camp season will be in full swing for the Buckeyes. Set to host multiple camp dates and also be in attendance at more, the summer will see plenty of recruiting efforts. Currently though, while the Buckeyes haven’t gained a commitment or pledge from a 2019 kid in a few weeks, the future is still very bright. As we await the next pledge, it’s important to keep in mind that this Buckeye football staff has everything mapped out and are currently working hard on the trail to keep the 2019 class much like the previous Meyer classes—which are top notch to say the least.

Buckeyes make the short list


Ever since defensive line coach Larry Johnson got on campus, he’s been a wrecking ball on the recruiting trail. If it seems like each and every cycle he hits a home run with a top stud defensive line prospect, it’s because he has. Whether it’s in or out of state, Johnson has been basically able to call his shot and land his guys. Thankfully, what was once a little bit of a worry at the interior defensive tackle spots, now, thanks to that recruiting ability by Johnson, the Buckeyes have not only depth, but more than enough talent to be one of the strengths of the team and country. His coaching speaks for itself, but when considering his relentless pursuit of the next great Buckeye defensive lineman, there’s a reason Johnson is considered by many to be the best in the business. Buckeye fans are hoping 2019’s class continues with that same trend.

Yesterday, North Carolina native Joshua Harris, a 6-foot-2, 315-pound four-star defensive tackle took to Twitter to announce his top five schools list—and the Buckeyes were able to make the cut. Joining Ohio State are NC State, North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. Interesting of note, though, Harris has yet to make it up to Columbus for an Ohio State visit. In other words, the Buckeyes are the lone school to not have a visit in his top five schools he’s still considering before making the final call. For the Buckeyes to still be in the mix for this four-star prospect, it speaks to not only the caliber of team they are, but also the amount of respect they have earned on the recruiting front. For a prospect to not even yet visit but still seriously have interest in your program, that speaks for itself right there.


pic.twitter.com/QSswxRYoEr

— Joshua Harris (@H_Josh93) May 31, 2018

While that is impressive in and of itself, the scoop is that Harris does have an official visit locked in for the Buckeyes and will change the “yet to visit” status before all is said and done. As many have said time and time again too, when the Buckeyes are able to get a prospect on campus, anything is possible. With the red carpet treatment they are able to lay out and not to mention every other aspect that goes into a visit, you have to like where Ohio State already stands, but also what could be after Joshua does indeed see campus for the first time.

Currently, Harris is considered to be the 15th best defensive tackle prospect in the country for the 2019 class and is also the ninth best prospect in North Carolina for the current cycle. While the Tar Heels and Wolfpack are hoping to keep this stud within the state lines, Urban Meyer and Larry Johnson may have other plans. Time will tell, but the Buckeyes are at least still in it even before his first visit.

The QB situation never stays the same


If it feels like the only subjects talked about recently within Ohio State football is the quarterback spot, you’re not wrong. Whether it be the actual QB of the upcoming season or the recruitment of 2019 QBs which is ever changing, the signal caller spot is truly seeing most of if not all the attention in the world. At a place like Ohio State though, that is and should be expected. A position of fame and scrutiny, finding the right guy for the job each and every season is never an easy task.

As heard several times before, the recruitment of 2019 QBs seems to never be anything but certain. With the impression that the class itself is lacking of a depth of solid guys at the position, Ohio State is being ever so careful to say the least. While a leader has thought to have been in the fold with Grant Gunnell, he’s still not in the class and the coaching staff certainly seems to still be looking. If you fast forward though to the 2020 class, the long thought to be leader and maybe even “shoe-in” for the Buckeyes is Arizona native Jack Miller. The fifth best pro-style QB in the 2020 class is a heavy favorite to Ohio State on the 247sports crystal ball predictions, and that follows the trend of everyone else’s thinking as well, which is Miller being the guy for the Buckeyes in 2020.

News surfaced late last week that Miller would be making a return trip to Columbus to see the Buckeyes. This time, in attendance would be Miller’s mom who has yet to see what Ohio State has to offer, at least on sight. However, more trips are now included in that news. Yesterday, via Jeremy Birmingham’s Twitter account, we learned that Jack will not only be seeing Ohio State, but will also be making trips to both Michigan, Michigan State and Alabama the same week. A busy time for Miller and his family, it’s not out of the ordinary to see a prospect making multiple trips to “closer” distant locations while away from home.


2020 QB Jack Miller will be back at Ohio State in June, his father tells me they’ll be in Columbus on June 22. The Chapparal (Scottsdale, AZ) star will be at Michigan on June 20, MSU on June 21 and Bama on June 23.

— Jeremy Birmingham (@Birm) May 31, 2018

Fortunately, the Buckeye football staff has already made Jack a high priority and maybe even their top priority at the position for their 2020 class. Their relationships seem to be very strong even with two full seasons still to be played at the prep level. It can never hurt to make a great first impression and Meyer and the rest of the staff and program have seemed to do just that. If all goes according to plan, Jack may be the next great Miller to suit up in the Scarlet and Gray.

This is the first meeting between the two since the Buckeyes bounced the Orange in the 2012 Elite Eight.

As the football schedule for 2022 was being pieced together, the 2018 schedule for the Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team also saw an addition. Per CBS Sports college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, the Buckeyes will host the Syracuse Orange in the 2018 edition of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.

For the Buckeyes, their non-conference slate of games on the hardwood includes some tough opponents. Creighton, Cincinnati, UCLA and ‘Cuse are NCAA Tournament -worthy teams that will get their chance at Chris Holtmann’s squad in the fall.

Last season, the Jim Boeheim coached program danced all the way to the Sweet 16 after defeating Arizona State, TCU, and upsetting Michigan State before falling to Duke. The Buckeyes’ season ended in the Round of 32 after a tough loss to Gonzaga.

Boeheim has experience going up against OSU—although he lost the last time they met. In 2012, Thad Matta’s Buckeyes tipped off with the Orange in the Elite Eight. Behind a 19-point effort from Jared Sullinger, the Scarlet and Gray prevailed, 77-70, and advanced to the Final Four.
