J.T. Barrett gets the captain honors again, becoming OSU’s first ever 3x captain.
Ohio State football is just around the corner. While some position battles are still taking place, the captains for the 2017 Ohio State football team have been named.

The OSU football Twitter page put up the graphic of the nine captains.
Quarterback J.T. Barrett became a captain for the third time. It’s the first time anybody has been named a captain of the OSU football team on three separate occasions. In his career, Barrett is 26-4 as a starter for the Buckeyes—and has never lost to Michigan.
Three other captains also come from the offense: center Billy Price, and wide receivers Parris Campbell and Terry McLaurin.
Five members of the defense were named as captains, too. Defensive ends Tyquan Lewis, Sam Hubbard, and Jayln Holmes; linebacker Chris Worley; and defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle all picked up the coveted role for the Buckeyes, who enter the season ranked as the No. 2 in the nation, according to the AP Poll released on Monday afternoon.

At Ohio State, there are a lot of options to lead the team in sacks
Meredith Hein via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
From fifth-year senior Tyquan Lewis all the way to true sophomore Nick Bosa, the defensive line is loaded with pass rushers.
“What I keep coming back to, though, is Lewis’ knack for finding the passer. More importantly, he might be even more skilled at finishing the play once he gets there.”
-Ryan Ginn, Land of 10
The power and depth of the Ohio State defensive line is, even before the start of the season, undeniable. Especially at the defensive end position, which is two-deep in former four- and five-star recruits, the Buckeyes have plenty of options for pressuring the quarterback. With that depth, though, the question remains as to who will emerge as the overall leader in sacks for Ohio State, or if there will be a clear leader at all.
Tyquan Lewis, who opted to return for his senior season in Columbus, is the obvious choice to lead in the category. He is the reigning Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year and a two-time captain, and is currently 14th in career sacks in program history with 16.5. While it seems unlikely that he’ll catch up to Mike Vrabel’s program-best 36, 11 more sacks would firmly plant Lewis in the No. 2 spot. Lewis has led his team in sacks for each of the last two seasons, and has shown an innate ability to get to the quarterback on a consistent basis.
Still, there are a number of challengers to Lewis’ title. Nick Bosa is the likely upstart as he enters his second year with the program. In his freshman season, Bosa recorded five quarterback sacks on his way to freshman All-American honors. He’ll likely be coming off the bench for much of the season, but that situation might prove to be an advantage against a worn-down offensive line later in the game.
We also can’t count out defensive end Sam Hubbard, widely considered a future first-round pick, or defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones, who has proven effective at getting to the quarterback from the interior of the line, from the conversation. Collectively, the line will be a terror for opposing passers and offensive lines.
“After graduation and yet another NFL exodus, the Buckeyes are searching for players to step up and fill the voids left by the departed players, or in some cases, improve upon lackluster production from last season.”
-Kevin Harrish, Eleven Warriors
Despite the loss of a core group of players to the NFL Draft (again), Ohio State has plenty of unproven talent with a huge potential upside remaining to fill gaps. On offense, especially with Kevin Wilson taking over as coordinator, there are new possibilities for wide receivers like Binjimen Victor and Johnnie Dixon. While Victor began to emerge at the end of last season, he has acknowledged that he has finally gained a grasp of the offense, which he lacked last year. “Now I feel more comfortable and I can play,” he said. Dixon, meanwhile, is well-familiar with the program as he enters his fourth season at Ohio State, but has been plagued with knee issues throughout his time in Columbus. However, he was named the MVP of the spring game, with 108 receiving yards on six catches, including two touchdowns.
At H-back, Parris Campbell has a lot to live up to after the loss of Curtis Samuel to the draft, but he brings significant natural talent to the position. Campbell is the fastest player on the team in the “Flying 20” and has the longest broad jump at more than 11 feet. The junior’s versatility extends to the return game as well, and he is expected to continue his special teams role in 2017.
On defense, a quartet of defensive backs look to collectively fill the shoes of three departed first-round picks from the unit. Cornerbacks Kendall Sheffield, Damon Arnette and Denzel Ward and safety Damon Webb have tremendous capacity to lead the defensive secondary. Sheffield, a former five-star recruit and junior college transfer, is new to the program, while Arnette and Ward both saw significant playing time last season. Webb, entering his senior season, remains the only returning starter in the unit, but was largely overshadowed last season.
“On defense, that’s the name of the game--if you stop the big plays, you’ll win a high percentage of the games.”
-Ohio State linebackers coach Bill Davis, via Tim May, The Columbus Dispatch
The Ohio State defense is expected to be among the elite defensive units in the country come the start of the season. Much of this buzz is due to an embarassment of riches in personnel, specifically on the defensive line. But defensive coordinator Greg Schiano is actively working to improve deficiencies from last season on a defense which was, statistically, already one of the best in the FBS. Specifically, Schiano is looking at how to limit “chunk” plays of 25 or more yards, which is one of the few areas where last year’s defense was deficient.
The 2016 Buckeyes allowed 30 plays of 25-plus yards on defense (not including special teams plays). And though Ohio State allowed just 14.2 points per game--good for third in the NCAA--they allowed a big play on 13 of the 20 touchdown drives against the defense. Coincidentally, just three “chunk” plays themselves went in for touchdowns. However, these big plays often proved to be the impetus for an eventual score by the opposing offense.
Of the long plays allowed, 11 came on runs, and more came on short- or medium-length passes with faulty coverage. Just four long passes got past the elite secondary, including two in the loss to Clemson in the College Football Playoff Semifinal. Clemson also had a rare, 30-yard touchdown pass. This area will be one to watch, given the loss of Marshon Lattimore, Malik Hooker and Gareon Conley to the first round of this year’s NFL Draft.
In order to halt the big play, linebackers coach Bill Davis says that personnel, especially linebackers, need to improve at recognizing and filling gaps that might be left open for the offense. And, perhaps more apparent, players need to be efficient tacklers. “That’s what we do; that’s what we’re paid to do,” Davis said. “We’re going to get to the ball and we’re going to tackle.”

The last U.S. total solar eclipse in 1979 brought good things to Ohio State football. Can 2017 do the same?
Geoff Hammersley via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
The year was 1979, a year that saw the Buckeyes bounce back from a bowl loss to Clemson by going undefeated in the regular season—and advancing to a Rose Bowl.
The time has come: a total solar eclipse has made it’s way to THE continental United States of America. The last time this happened, it was in The Year of our Lord 1979. Wild times those were—I wasn’t alive back then, but it was the 70s, and those seemed like wild times. I mean, 1979 featured Queen releasing a hit in “Don’t Stop Me Now,” Margaret Thatcher becoming the first women Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, ESPN getting launched, and McDonald’s coming out with the Happy Meal.
But, we haven’t touched on one of the most important topics of 1979: the college football season. Was it as crazy as 2007? Nah, not really. But, the end product was sorta the same. Just like in the 2007 edition of CFB, the 1979 season featured the Ohio State Buckeyes running the table en route to a Rose Bowl appearance—basically, a de facto national championship game. The Buckeyes ran through a tough non-conference foe in UCLA that season, had an early conference matchup on the road against Minnesota, and they had to travel to Ann Arbor to take down a Michigan team on the outside of the Top-10.
On this undefeated journey—one that started after OSU lost to Clemson in the infamous Citrus Bowl, which then propelled Earle Bruce to assemble the group of Buckeyes out for revenge on the college football landscape—quarterback Art Schlichter threw for 1,519 yards and 13 touchdowns, and finished fourth on the Heisman voting. Also on the offense, guard Ken Fritz earned a spot on the All-American team. Collectively, those ‘79 Buckeyes forced 31 turnovers, and held teams to under 10 points per game, according to the ESPN College Football Encyclopedia.
This Bruce-coached squad began the season outside of the AP Top 25, but then racked up the wins. Below is the reign of destruction the ‘79 Buckeyes left.
The Buckeyes tore through their slate of games. That’s the good news. However, there is some bad news. If history repeats itself, which, judging by the preseason predictions, might happen, USC and Alabama will be in the title picture this season—just as they were in 1979. The Rose Bowl in 1979 was a showdown between No. 1 Ohio State and No. 3 USC.
If the Buckeyes would’ve defeated USC, they would’ve been in serious conversation for a share of the national title. However, there’s a reason would’ve is used instead of did. The Trojans beat the Buckeyes in the 1980 Rose Bowl, 17-16.
Adding insult to injury, No. 2 Alabama played No. 6 Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl, and the Crimson Tide thumped the Razorbacks, 24-9. And just like that, Alabama claimed their 11th national title. The final standings to the 1979 season: Alabama (1), USC (2), Oklahoma (3), and Ohio State (4).
So, this now brings us to 2017: the year were the total eclipse makes its return to the U.S. Is it a coincidence that the storylines from 1979 run similar to 2017? Probably. But, putting on the tinfoil hat and finding ways for this correlation to equal causation is a fun occupation.
Once again, Alabama, USC and Ohio State are all back on the race for the national championship, and OSU’s journey to the top of the mountain comes on the heels of a loss to Clemson in a bowl game; additionally, the Buckeyes have a stellar QB at the helm in J.T. Barrett to guide them through the twist and turns of the season.
If the 2017 season ends up being 1979 version 2.0, then it might be a downer for Buckeye nation. But, things tend to not break the same way the second time around.
What do you think will happen in the 2017 season with the Buckeyes? Will it be like 1979? More like 2014? Let us know below.

The year was 1979, a year that saw the Buckeyes bounce back from a bowl loss to Clemson by going undefeated in the regular season—and advancing to a Rose Bowl.
The time has come: a total solar eclipse has made it’s way to THE continental United States of America. The last time this happened, it was in The Year of our Lord 1979. Wild times those were—I wasn’t alive back then, but it was the 70s, and those seemed like wild times. I mean, 1979 featured Queen releasing a hit in “Don’t Stop Me Now,” Margaret Thatcher becoming the first women Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, ESPN getting launched, and McDonald’s coming out with the Happy Meal.
But, we haven’t touched on one of the most important topics of 1979: the college football season. Was it as crazy as 2007? Nah, not really. But, the end product was sorta the same. Just like in the 2007 edition of CFB, the 1979 season featured the Ohio State Buckeyes running the table en route to a Rose Bowl appearance—basically, a de facto national championship game. The Buckeyes ran through a tough non-conference foe in UCLA that season, had an early conference matchup on the road against Minnesota, and they had to travel to Ann Arbor to take down a Michigan team on the outside of the Top-10.
On this undefeated journey—one that started after OSU lost to Clemson in the infamous Citrus Bowl, which then propelled Earle Bruce to assemble the group of Buckeyes out for revenge on the college football landscape—quarterback Art Schlichter threw for 1,519 yards and 13 touchdowns, and finished fourth on the Heisman voting. Also on the offense, guard Ken Fritz earned a spot on the All-American team. Collectively, those ‘79 Buckeyes forced 31 turnovers, and held teams to under 10 points per game, according to the ESPN College Football Encyclopedia.
