Ohio State is already a top contender for the Big Ten title
Meredith Hein via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land

With a consistently outstanding recruiting pipeline and a fine-tuned coaching staff, the Buckeyes are already front runners in the Big Ten.
“When it comes down to it, the Buckeyes figure to always be in contention every year as long as Meyer remains in Columbus.”
-Austin Ward, ESPN
The Ohio State Buckeyes are an obvious contender to win the Big Ten this season. Despite losing in the semi-finals of the College Football Playoff last year, the Buckeyes have a wealth of returning talent and a high-caliber coaching staff that could boost them back into national contention come the fall.
For starters, Urban Meyer has established a recruiting machine in Columbus with a talented pipeline of four- and five-star talent. Last season, Meyer was forced to use a number of these recruits right off the bat, given the departure of a dozen players for the NFL Draft last spring. This year, however, Meyer and his coaching staff have a wealth of veteran talent to draw from, and have the opportunity to develop the freshman class for years to come.
In terms of veteran players, none has had more of an impact in his time at Ohio State than quarterback J.T. Barrett. Entering his senior season with the Buckeyes, Barrett has already broken most major program passing records in his three years as a starter. Now, with new co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ryan Day and a slew of talent at receiver, Barrett is already in a better position with his offense than he was leading into last season. And along with Day, Kevin Wilson’s arrival as co-offensive coordinator means tons of potential from a talented offense, especially given what Wilson was able to do at Indiana with less-talented personnel there.
On the other side of the ball, the Buckeyes bring an absolutely loaded front seven on defense. While the loss of middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan to the NFL Draft leaves a void, Chris Worley looks to be a worthy replacement. On the line, the Buckeyes return Tyquan Lewis, Jalyn Holmes, Sam Hubbard and Nick Bosa--a formidable front-four.
Finally, Meyer himself is perhaps the most obvious reason that the Buckeyes have a shot at title contention this year. He has lost just six games in five years at Ohio State, and has been able to consistently improve recruiting and fine-tune the coaching staff to achieve results in Columbus.
“It’s not different. Really it wasn’t Luke (Fickell) and I bouncing (of of each other), it was all four of us--always.”
-Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano, via Bill Landis, Cleveland.com
The defensive coaching staff at Ohio State has been a highly-collaborative coaching unit under Urban Meyer’s leadership. While the unit has traditionally boasted a pair of co-defensive coordinators, similar to Meyer’s structure on offense, the void left by Luke Fickell’s departure to Cincinnati means that Greg Schiano is currently the only defensive coordinator on the coaching staff. Still, the daily operations of the staff have remained the same, with Schiano working closely with Kerry Coombs on cornerbacks and special teams, Billy Davis on linebackers and Larry Johnson on the defensive line. Of the three, Davis is the only new face on the defensive coaching staff this season, having spent nearly his entire career coaching in the NFL.
While the operations remain the same as they did when Fickell was on the staff, potential promotions, new titles and higher salaries are all at stake in the new void, and one of the three defensive assistants could earn the title of “co-defensive coordinator” by the start of the season. Coombs, who has the longest tenure on the defensive staff, would seem the most obvious candidate. Despite rumors that he would be leaving Columbus to join Fickell, Coombs announced in December that he would be sticking around at Ohio State. Meyer then responded with a statement that Coombs would “have a much expanded role” and “more responsibility on the back end of our defense.” Given his ability to recruit and develop talent like Eli Apple and Marshon Lattimore, Coombs, whose contract is up in April, could be in for a pay raise.
Even so, Davis, with his NFL experience, is also a worthy candidate of the increased title and responsibility that would come with a co-defensive coordinator role. And Johnson has, according to Schiano, has declined coordinator jobs elsewhere. Meyer has three outstanding options, should he choose to stay with his traditional coaching structure on defense, but it is safe to assume that the on-field result will remain top-notch regardless.
“I think when the winter workouts came and the grind came, it was about the guys. I think my class, we love Ohio State. We love this team.”
-Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, via Eric Seger, Eleven Warriors
There are not often many fifth-year seniors on Urban Meyer-coached teams. This year, however, is an exception, as seven players on the roster prepare for their fifth and final season with the Buckeyes. Chief among the group are quarterback J.T. Barrett, defensive end Tyquan Lewis and offensive lineman Billy Price, all of whom were named captains for the coming season. Linebacker Chris Worley, tight end Marcus Baugh and defensive tackles Tracy Sprinkly and Mike Hill round out the group.
It is a surprising return for several members of the group, given that six members of the team declared for the NFL Draft at the end of the season as underclassmen. Especially given success of former Buckeyes at the next level, including many who left Columbus early, foregoing lucrative contracts to stay in school another year is unexpected.
Perhaps the biggest reason for this group to return was how their last game ended--a 31-0 loss to Clemson on the national stage in the Fiesta Bowl. “I just think there was unfinished business with a lot of guys,” Price said. “None of us liked the way we went out. You can’t leave on a mark like that. You leave your legacy with your last game playing at Ohio State and just the way we went out is not acceptable to a lot of the guys who are coming back.”
Meyer will be leaning on this core group of seniors both through spring practice and moving on to the start of the season. Especially given significant coaching changes on both sides of the ball, these established leaders will play a crucial role in “refreshing” the program. And according to Barrett, this group is already committed: “We want to do the best for Ohio State and make sure we end the season on top. I think that’s our focus.”

4-star RB has Ohio State among leaders

The Buckeyes are still in the mix for another play maker.
To win college football games you usually need a long list of playmakers on your roster. Ohio State has been blessed with talented offensive weapons for years. That doesn’t look to be ending anytime soon.
Currently holding a verbal commitment from Brian Snead and Jaelen Gill, another class of 2018 running back announced over the weekend that he’s considering Urban Meyer’s Ohio State program as his next stop before the National Football League.
Taking to his Twitter page to release his leader list of programs that have and haven’t offered just yet, four-star standout Master Teague (Murfreesboro, TN / Blackman) is keeping a close eye on 12 schools.
Locking in over 20 offers from programs across the country, the 5-foot-10 210-pounder from The Volunteer State has Auburn, Duke, Georgia, Louisville, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Ohio State on top for his talents at the moment.

— Master W. Teague III (@33_blackman) March 19, 2017
While the Ohio State coaching staff has yet to offer Teague a scholarship, he holds both the coaching staff and the Buckeyes rich tradition in high regards.
“They produce good backs at Ohio State. They have good tradition. I really enjoyed my visit there back in the fall. I have enjoyed getting to know Coach Alford and I look forward to finding out more about the culture it seems they create for their players there. Coach Alford seems to care for his guys (RBs) and he talks about them a lot. Coach Meyer is known as great leader and it would be great to play for someone like him.” Teague stated to Land-Grant Holy Land as a few of the reasons why the Buckeyes made the cut over other Universities.
Just like a lot of recruits on their big board, Teague, the 18th running back and 324th overall prospect in the class of 2018, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings, will be back in Columbus in the coming weeks to get even more familiar with the Buckeyes.
“They invited me to spring practice and to sit in on the running back meetings. I will be there for two days to do that. I will be there from March 31 through April 1,” he said.
“I am excited to see more of the campus and athletic facilities. I look forward to speaking with academics and seeing where I would live on campus. I look forward to seeing how they share their player development culture with their players. It would be great to add an offer to the relationship that has been built.”
Even though he missed time due to a concussion, the powerful but shifty Teague rushed for well over 2,000 yards and 24 touchdowns last season as a junior to help lead the Blackman Blaze to an overall record of 9-4 and a deep run in the Tennessee state playoffs.

Coach Meyer is known as great leader and it would be great to play for someone like him.” Teague stated to Land-Grant Holy Land as a few of the reasons why the Buckeyes made the cut over other Universities.
Just like a lot of recruits on their big board, Teague, the 18th running back and 324th overall prospect in the class of 2018, per the 247Sports Composite Rankings, will be back in Columbus in the coming weeks to get even more familiar with the Buckeyes.
“They invited me to spring practice and to sit in on the running back meetings. I will be there for two days to do that. I will be there from March 31 through April 1,” he said.
“I am excited to see more of the campus and athletic facilities. I look forward to speaking with academics and seeing where I would live on campus. I look forward to seeing how they share their player development culture with their players. It would be great to add an offer to the relationship that has been built.”
Even though he missed time due to a concussion, the powerful but shifty Teague rushed for well over 2,000 yards and 24 touchdowns last season as a junior to help lead the Blackman Blaze to an overall record of 9-4 and a deep run in the Tennessee state playoffs.

The Buckeyes extend their undefeated start to 9-0 this season.
The No. 18 Ohio State Buckeyes men’s lacrosse team toppled the top-ranked Denver Pioneers Sunday night by a score of 16-7 in Ohio Stadium. The win was the Buckeyes’ first over a top-ranked team since 1968, and their undefeated, 9-0 start is the program’s best start since 1966, when the Buckeyes were a perfect 14-0 on the season. Ohio State is one of just four remaining undefeated teams in Division I, and are scheduled to face two of the others, No. 2 Penn State and No. 5 Rutgers, in Big Ten play.
Ohio State also celebrated senior night Sunday, honoring 11 players on the roster. This class has contributed 33 program wins in their careers, including a trip to the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2015 after the Buckeyes defeated Duke in the opening round of the tournament.
Denver entered the game with the nation’s ninth-best scoring offense, averaging more than 13 points per game. They also boasted one of the NCAA’s top scoring defenses, allowing just 7.33 points per game. Ohio State’s defense, meanwhile, has allowed just 6.63 points per outing, led by senior goalie Tom Carey, who is sixth in the NCAA in save percentage at 61.2 percent, and junior defenseman Eric Evans, who has a team-high eight forced turnovers on the year.
Ohio State and Denver have met 26 times in program history, having previously been conference foes until the inaugural season of Big Ten lacrosse in 2014. With the win over the Pioneers, Ohio State now leads the all-time series 15-11. The Buckeyes also avenged last season’s 15-6 loss in Denver.
Freshman midfielder Tre Leclaire, who leads the Buckeyes in scoring on the year, opened things up for Ohio State with a goal just 1:16 into the game. Denver quickly responded, but senior midfielder Johnny Pearson capitalized on a man-up opportunity, assisted by Leclaire, to give the Buckeyes a lead that they would never relinquish. Senior attackman Eric Fannell followed up 10 seconds later with his first goal of the game, assisted by freshman midfielder Ryan Terefenko. Pearson then broke a six-minute scoring drought with his second goal of the game, assisted by junior attackman Colin Chell. Senior midfielder J.T. Blubaugh then capped off the first quarter with a goal of his own with senior midfielder Tyler Pfister on the assist to give the Buckeyes a 5-1 advantage heading into the second quarter.
The defenses slowed things down in the second, but Leclaire added his second and third goals of the game, with Chell and Fannell on the assists. Then, with one second left in the half, Chell himself found the back of the net to put Ohio State up 7-1 at the break.
The Buckeyes found their rhythm on offense once again in the third quarter, with Fannell scoring once again to open the second half of play, assisted by Terefenko. Leclaire added his fourth goal of the game on a Blubaugh assist, which was followed up by another Fannell goal midway through the quarter to put the Buckeyes up 10. Denver finally found the back of the net once more with 2:54 remaining in the quarter, but Leclaire hit his fifth goal of the game to put Ohio State up 12-2 heading into the final quarter.
After assisting Fannell on two goals, Terefenko scored his first goal of the game with 12:18 remaining in the game. Denver then scored two straight goals to close the gap, but senior attackman Austin Shanks scored in a man-up opportunity to stem the Pioneers’ run. Blubaugh then found the back of the net once more before Pearson capped the Buckeyes’ scoring with another man-up goal with 5:16 remaining.
Leclaire once again led the Buckeyes in scoring on the day, adding five goals to his season total along with two assists. Fannell and Pearson had three goal apiece (Fannell also logged four assists), while Blubaugh had two goals of his own. As a whole, the team had 14 total assists, far exceeding their average of six per game this season.
Carey recorded 11 saves on the day on 18 shots on goal. The Buckeyes outshot the Pioneers 22-18 overall.
Ohio State lost the overall faceoff battle, winning only 11-of-26 attempts. However, the Buckeyes dominated the groundball battle, winning 33 to Denver’s 18. Ohio State also caused seven turnovers compared to just three for the Pioneers.
With the loss, Denver falls to 5-2 on the season. Next up, the Pioneers head to Maryland to face Towson.
The win was the Buckeyes’ third in nine days, having previously defeated 10th-ranked Towson in Maryland. While Ohio State will have some much needed rest, not playing again until Saturday, the schedule does not get any easier, as they face No. 3 Notre Dame in South Bend this weekend before heading to State College to face Penn State to open conference play.
