The Top Five​

1. QB Will Howard (85.7)​

This is Howard's debut as Ohio State's top-graded player from PFF and it's the fourth consecutive week that Howard is in the top five. Howard has been on a tear. Starting with the Oregon game, this is the fifth time in seven weeks for Howard to make the top five.

Completing 22 of his 26 passes with two touchdowns, Howard had a Big Ten-best overall grade of 85.7 and a passing grade of 85.3 among the conference's quarterbacks. Howard has led the Big Ten's quarterbacks in both of those categories in back-to-back weeks.

2. WR Emeka Egbuka (85.4)​

Egbuka caught seven passes for 80 yards and a score against the Hoosiers and PFF rewarded him with his highest grades this season. For the first time this year, Egbuka earned an overall grade in the 80s. He also received his highest receiving grade of the year: 82.5, almost two points better than the 80.7 receiving grade he earned against Western Michigan in Week 2.

3. LB Cody Simon (81.4)​

With an exceptional pass rush grade of 92.5, Simon was the highest-graded Big Ten player and the fifth-highest-ranked player in the nation in that category after recording 2.5 sacks on 10 tackles against the Hoosiers.

The linebacker makes the top five for the fourth time this season and the third time in four weeks. This is the third time this season for Simon to get a grade above 80.

4. S Lathan Ransom (75.2)​

Ransom ranked in the top 20 of the nation with a run defense grade of 87.9, which was good for the third-best grade in the Big Ten. This is Ransom's third appearance in the top five and the first time since landing the top spot against Oregon.

5. RB TreVeyon Henderson (74.9)​

For the fourth time this season and the third time in four weeks, Henderson makes the top five. His run grade of 75.3 and overall grade of 74.9 were the third-best among running backs in the Big Ten last week.

Henderson ran for 68 yards and a score against Indiana and is now 79 yards away from passing Tim Spencer (3,553 yards) for fifth place on Ohio State's all-time career rushing list.

"We're trying to figure out what's the best now for the long term," Rizzi said. "There's a process in which he's going through. He met with our people and then there's people outside the building. ... Chris is going to be out right now for the short term, and then we'll make a decision for the long term. But he is meeting with multiple people and everyone here, our medical staff has been in touch with all of them."

Woods was fined $16,683 for his hit on Olave, which also resulted in a penalty. It was Woods' ninth unnecessary roughness penalty since entering the league in 2017, the most in the NFL in that span.

Why is this guy allowed to remain in the league? Does the players association not care about the health and safety of their members?

Thanks for the info. Definitely bringing warm clothes. Gonna be slightly colder than California lol.
theyve never been much into hockey but the basketball game would be fun. I got tickets for it.
my boys are 22 and 23, so we’ll probably end up on Short North and hit a couple of spots. Fives Up High looks promising.

Mack Brown (ex-Texas and ex-UNC Head Coach)

Brown fired by Tar Heels, to coach vs. Wolfpack

North Carolina football coach Mack Brown, 73, will not return to the Tar Heels next season but will coach Saturday's game vs. NC State, the school announced.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Brown has three years left on his contract, which pays him $5 million annually. The school said the remainder of the contract will be paid by the UNC athletic department and not through state funds.

Just sayin': UNC is still honoring (i.e paying him what is called for in) his contract.

Yeah, but if the checks come from UNC, that means his pension will be paid with taxpayer dollars. As a recipient of OSTRS funding, I often think about such things in terms of what is owed by OSTRS to folks who make more in a year than I made in a lifetime.
