The Buckeyes fall once again in their second-straight top-five matchup.

In a matchup of top-five teams, the No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes men’s lacrosse team opened up conference play with a 9-4 loss to second-ranked Penn State in Happy Valley. The loss was the team’s second straight, after opening the season 9-0. The Nittany Lions, meanwhile, remain undefeated on the season with a 10-0 record.

This year marks the third season of Big Ten lacrosse, and all six teams in the conference are currently ranked in Inside Lacrosse rankings. Ohio State’s matchup against Penn State was the first of a tough, five-game conference schedule.

The Buckeyes kept things close throughout the first half. Penn State opened up scoring with 13:19 remaining in the first quarter, but Ohio State answered on the next possession with a goal by sophomore midfielder Logan Maccani — his first goal of the season — assisted by senior midfielder Jake Withers. Penn State added a second goal midway through the quarter. Then, in the final seconds of the first quarter, freshman midfielder Tre Leclaire, the Buckeyes’ leading scorer on the season, scored his first goal of the game to tie things up heading into the second.

Ohio State took the lead just 10 seconds into the second quarter on a goal by freshman midfielder Ryan Terefenko. Penn State, however, tied things back up on a goal by Mac O’Keefe, the nation’s second-leading scorer. The Nittany Lions added another goal with 4:32 remaining in the quarter to take a one-point lead into the half.

Penn State took control in earnest in the third quarter, holding the Buckeyes scoreless as the Nittany Lions extended their lead to 7-3.

The Buckeyes were unable to create any momentum in the final quarter, though Leclaire added his second goal of the game to give Ohio State the team’s final goal, avoiding a second-half shutout.

Leclaire led the Buckeyes in scoring, finding the back of the net twice on three total shots on goal.

Shots were 39-35 in favor of Penn State. Senior goalie Tom Carey saved 12 shots on 21 shots on goal, while Penn State saved 13 of 17 attempts.

Withers, who is one of the top specialists in the nation, had another strong day on faceoffs, winning 13-of-17 attempts. Senior attackman Eric Fannell and senior midfielder Johnny Pearson each had four groundballs for the Buckeyes, though Penn State picked up 30 attempts to Ohio State’s 22.

Next up, Penn State faces ninth-ranked Maryland in College Park, while the Buckeyes return home to face No. 13 Johns Hopkins in Columbus.

Buckeyes Land Taron Vincent in 2018

By Trevor Arnold

Happy April 2, Buckeye fans as Ohio State adds a huge piece to the 2018 recruiting class. Taron Vincent, out of Bradenton, FL.

Vincent is the top ranked Defensive Tackle for the 2018 class. At 6-foot-2, 285 lbs, this kid will be an immediate impact on the defensive front.

Vincent was on an unofficial visit on March 30, and has committed to Ohio State today by way of Twitter. Vincent has had a great relationship with Larry Johnson since 2016 after Johnson visited him.

The 14th-ranked player in 2018 now marks 5 recruits already for Ohio State, and the recruiting season has only just begun. Ohio State is now ranked 2nd in the Big Ten in recruiting trailing only Penn State who has 12 recruits.

5-star DT Taron Vincent commits to Ohio State

BOOOOOOOOM!

The Ohio State Buckeyes got better in a big way Sunday when super-stud defensive tackle Taron Vincent committed to Larry Johnson, Mark Pantoni, Urban Meyer and the Bucks.

OSU’s taken their fair share of licks on the recruiting tail at the defensive tackle position, but no longer.

In Vincent, OSU gets the number one defensive tackle in his class and the number one player from the state of Florida. Vincent grades out as the 14th best player in the entire loaded 2018 class. Vincent’s father Troy was a five-time Pro Bowler in the NFL for the Eagles and is currently Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the league.

Vincent’s recent visit to OSU must have sold him on the package as Florida State was a real factor in his recruitment too. He attended an Ohio State camp a summer ago and was also at Friday Night Lights 2016. IMG Academy, which showcases a lot of the top high school football talent in the country, seems to be rapidly becoming a bit of an OSU recruiting pipeline.

Here’s what Vincent is expected to bring to the Buckeyes when he arrives in Columbus in anticipation of the 2018 football season, courtesy of our friends over at Hudl:

Ohio State-Purdue 2017 final score: Baseball Bucks lose game, series to Purdue
Ben Martens via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


Some head-scratching decisions led to a series loss to the Boilermakers.

Suspect decisionmaking and an inability to get a hit when one was needed led to Ohio State baseball losing a very winnable game on Sunday afternoon at Bill Davis Stadium in Columbus. The Buckeyes were topped by Purdue, 2-1, losing the series and falling to 1-5 in Big Ten play.

The game turned on a questionable baserunning decision in the bottom of the sixth. With the score 2-1 in favor of the Boilers, the Buckeyes had runners at second and third with nobody out. Noah McGowan struck out on a ball in the dirt, and ran to first to force a throw from the catcher. Jacob Barnwell broke for the plate, but the throw back home was on target. He was called out, and the momentum was gone.

An inning prior, a Dominic Canzone triple to left-center with one out and a 1-0 lead seemed to have Ohio State poised to expand its lead. But a foul out by Noah West and a strikeout by Tre’ Gantt ended the threat.

A third scoring chance went by the wayside in the bottom of the eighth due to another puzzling decision. West walked and Gantt got aboard on an error by pitcher Cameron Williams on an attempted sacrifice bunt, giving the Buckeyes two on with nobody out. Barnwell was up next, and attempted unsuccessfully to bunt the runners over twice.

With a full count, the bunt was still on, though, and he failed to get it down, striking out. Washington and McGowan failed to come up with the clutch hit that was needed after that, and the Boilermakers escaped once again.

Unlike the first two games of the series, there were no early offensive fireworks in this one. Ohio State starter Jake Post and his counterpart for Purdue, Mike Kornacker, were firmly in command, each throwing up zeroes on the scoreboard through the first three innings.

Post, who was a question mark coming into the weekend due to back spasms, gave his club exactly the kind of start expected of a redshirt senior. He finished allowing two runs, one earned, on five hits in his six innings of work, and gave Ohio State a chance to win.

After Post tossed a scoreless fourth as well, the Buckeyes broke through. Kornacker briefly lost his command, hitting both Washington and McGowan with pitches back-to-back. Washington stole third, then came plateward on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Zach Ratcliff for the 1-0 lead.

The failure to score Canzone in the fifth immediately came back to bite Ohio State. Evan Warden led off the top of the sixth with a single and Harry Shipley attempted to bunt him to second. Third baseman Brady Cherry couldn’t make the play, though, and after a successful sacrifice by Nick Dalesandro, the Boilermakers had two runners in scoring position.

Skyler Hunter then delivered a single back up the middle, which scored both runners, and the Buckeye lead became a deficit.

Kornacker was every bit as good as Post, going five innings and allowing one run on just two hits. A leadoff walk to Barnwell in the bottom of the sixth fresh off claiming the lead caused Purdue to go to the bullpen.

Lefty Ross Learnard yielded a double into the left field corner to Washington, putting two runners in scoring position with nobody out. That’s when McGowan went down swinging and Barnwell got erased at the plate, two straight innings of golden opportunities going for naught for Ohio State.

Seth Kinker threw three scoreless innings of relief, keeping the Buckeyes within striking distance, but a scoreless ninth inning for Williams and the Boilers closed things out in disappointing fashion.

Ohio State, which now sits 11-16 on the year, has a tough in-state midweek date with Kent State on Wednesday night to round out its homestand before hitting the road for a three-game conference tilt with Penn State in Happy Valley next weekend.

Colin White Signs Entry-Level Contract, Will Join Senators in Detroit
T6S via our good friends at Buckeye Battle Cry
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here

For a time, it felt like the Senators were going to leave Colin White hanging like the prospect did to Gary Bettman at the 2015 NHL Draft.

https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/C8bGbDJUQAEy5Y3.mp4

When White’s sophomore season ended at Boston College, there were concerns that the Senators and White would not be able to come to terms on a contract before the end of the regular season.

The fear wasn’t so much that the Senators would not be able to come to terms on a deal with White and risk having him bolt as a collegiate free agent somewhere down the road, the concern stemmed from the Senators overlooking White as an internal alternative who could possibly be better than some of the players who are already on the parent roster.

Thanks to the continued struggles of the team’s bottom-six, it’s not like White’s being asked to clear some high hurdles.

Furthermore, considering this organization’s struggle to shed its playoff bubble image and the spectacular shittiness of the Eastern Conference, a lot of fans felt that this season might represent Ottawa’s best chance, as a dark horse team, to upset a few teams and make an extended run.

With time running out on inexpensive contracts to many of the team’s best players and the trade deadline moves to bring Alex Burrows and Viktor Stalberg into the fold, management made a conscious decision to go for it, so it only stands to reason that the organization should give a look to White to see if he can help.

So when the Ottawa Senators announced this afternoon that Colin White has signed a three-year entry-level contract and will join the team in Detroit, the news was met with some fan fare. (As an aside, it means that the first year of White’s contract will be burned this season.)

Granted, not everyone is overjoyed by the news.

Injuries may have forced the organization’s hand, but there definitely are a number of people who have anxiety over White’s future and understandably so.

As I mentioned above, Ottawa’s best players are essentially coming off their inexpensive first or second contracts over the next few years. Assuredly the Senators will retain the bulk of these players, but with each of these players being in line for a raise, the reality of Ottawa’s situation is that they’ll soon be paying these players more money for what are essentially the same results.

What I mean by that is that there are very few players on the parent roster who can realistically be expected to produce than they already are. There simply isn’t a lot of safely projectable growth on the roster. As far as how the current roster is constructed, I’m skeptical of know how much better this team can get unless it punts its roster detritus and starts making smarter personnel decisions to complement its core.

What this means is that there’s a considerable amount of pressure on blue chip prospects like Colin White and Thomas Chabot to not only develop, but develop into impactful players. If they fall short, it’s going to be incredibly difficult for the Senators to make that transition from an organization that is simply content to get into the playoffs to one that actually create a window of Stanley Cup contention.

It doesn’t help that there this omnipresent anxiety over White’s future is rooted because of the underwhelming development of failed collegiate free agents like Stephane Da Costa and Bobby Butler or previous first round picks like Jared Cowen, Cody Ceci and the recently departed Curtis Lazar like they’re one and the same.

Of course it’s easy to sit on the sidelines and preach patience when no prospect has ever had their development stall by spending extra time in junior or in the AHL. But conversely, having White be around the team and experience playing in a handful of games during a meaningful playoff stretch isn’t going to irreparably harm his development either.

There is no one-size fits all mentality when it comes to prospect development. It’s wrong to believe that every prospect develops at the rate and responds positively to the same stimuli or set of circumstances.

Giving White this opportunity now can’t hurt. He only has to bring more to the table than Tommy Wingels or Chris Kelly. How hard can that be?

Why didn’t Ohio State pressure the QB more last season?
Chad Peltier via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


They certainly had the talent.

Conventional wisdom says that the defensive line is not a position the Buckeyes need to worry about very much for 2017. Essentially the entire defensive line returns, including defensive ends Sam Hubbard, Jalyn Holmes, and Tyquan Lewis.

But for as good as the defensive line looked last season, the numbers suggest that there might be a few issues nevertheless. Primarily, that has to do with how effective the defensive line was at pressuring the quarterback.

The Buckeyes ranked 54th in total sacks last year, but were 78th in adjusted sack rate. Was there actually a problem with the defensive line last season? And because the same personnel return, will there be a problem with defensive pressure again this season?

Potential reasons for the low sack rate

1. Talent. Talent is usually cited as a strength for the defensive line, particularly at defensive end. Lewis, Hubbard, and Holmes, the top three at the position, were all four-star recruits.
2. Personnel fit. Is it possible that, while talented, none are pure pass rushers?
3. Scheme. The low sack numbers could be a byproduct of the play calling. For instance, if the defense usually only rushed four, that could largely account for the lower-than-expected sack rate. But even if that’s true, shouldn’t Ohio State-caliber ends be able to get pressure without a big numbers advantage?

Some context


Even the adjusted sack rate, when viewed by itself, doesn’t necessarily tell you a whole lot. So here are some other relative statistics:

Do the Buckeyes have work to do at defensive end?


The picture you get from the other advanced stats is still a little unclear. Overall the pass defense was excellent, ranking eighth overall in passing S&P+. But how much of that is due to an absurd secondary that will likely have three defensive backs drafted, potentially all in the first round?

The issue isn’t with the line’s ability to create havoc overall, either. If you include tackles for loss in the equation, the defensive line ranked 19th in line havoc rate, first in stuff rate (which measures the rate of tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage), and first in power success rate (which measures the effectiveness in short-yardage situations). The line was incredibly effective at generating havoc plays in the run game — it was more or less just an issue with getting to the quarterback.

But there does seem to be some kind of issue with the pass rush. There’s not much of a difference between the pass rush on standard versus passing downs (78th and 90th), but passing downs success rate was poor relative to the rest of the defense’s play (34th). And that’s despite the use of the vaunted Rushman package, which packs the line with four defensive ends.

My guess is that this is an issue with specific personnel assignments and scheme more than any single issue by itself. As you can see from the talent ratings of the top three ends at .9277, it isn’t like there is an overall talent problem. Instead, as Ross Fulton has suggested, it might be more about what these ends are asked to do relative to their overall strengths and weaknesses. It’s possible that none are truly elite pass-rushing specialists, despite them being excellent players overall.

My guess is that one or more of Nick Bosa, Jonathon Cooper, and Chase Young find themselves in the steady rotation at end. These three former five-stars have extraordinarily high ceilings as pass rushers, which will be especially important in 2017 when Malik Hooker and Marshon Lattimore are no longer in the secondary, ready to turn a QB pressure into a pick-six. Assuming that the 2017 secondary doesn’t create the same level of havoc as the 2016 group (which was third in interceptions per game), the defensive line will need to turn more QB pressures into sacks.

The Buckeyes’ Jekyll and Hyde routine continued against the Boilermakers.

Day and night. Yin and yang. Hope and despair. All of these terms roughly approximate the consistency that has been shown by the Ohio State baseball team on a game-to-game basis in 2017. A day after beating Purdue by 11 runs, the Buckeyes suffered a thorough loss of their own on Saturday evening, 6-1, at Bill Davis Stadium in Columbus.

In a near-perfect reversal of game one of the series, Purdue scored early and often, building a big lead that would ultimately stand up. The Boilers got a run in the first, three in the second, and one more in both the third and fourth in knotting the series at a game apiece.

As has been the case much of the season, sophomore Ryan Feltner struggled to command the bottom of the strike zone, and as a result, got knocked around a bit. The big right-hander allowed six runs on six hits with three walks, three hit batsmen, and four strikeouts, but did manage to battle and give his club 6.2 innings.

Also keeping to script on this night was the inconsistency of the Ohio State bats. After racking up a baker’s dozen of runs on ten hits on Friday, the Buckeyes went 3-for-14 with runners on base in this one.

Ohio State now stands 1-4 in Big Ten play, 11-15 overall, while Purdue improved to 2-3 in conference games and 14-12 for the year.

Purdue struck first, taking advantage of a hit by pitch on the first offering of the game by Feltner to plate a run. The pitch hit Evan Warden, who would advance to second on a sacrifice bunt, steal third, and score on a groundout by Nick Dalesandro.

The Boilermakers weren’t done exorcising some demons from Friday night’s drubbing, putting up another three runs in the second. Bryce Bonner led off with a double and was immediately bunted over to third. He scored on a single by Mike Madej, who would himself come around on a triple by Alec Olund. Warden capped things off with an RBI groundout, pushing the lead out to 4-0.

Feltner’s troubles continued in the third, as Purdue tacked on one more. Dalesandro led off with a single up the middle just outside the range of Buckeye second baseman Noah West. A pair of wild pitches allowed him to advance to third, where he trotted home on a Jacson McGowan groundout.

Keeping with the theme, the Boilers got the leadoff man aboard in the fourth and it came back to bite Feltner and Ohio State. Madej walked, stole second, and moved over to third on a groundout. Warden then dropped a perfect safety squeeze bunt to bring Madej home, extending the advantage to 6-0.

Meanwhile, Purdue starter Gareth Stroh was cruising through the Buckeyes’ lineup. The left-hander pitched to contact extremely efficiently, allowing just a single run on six hits in 7.2 innings of work. Stroh only struck out two, but walked no one and threw over 63 percent strikes in earning his second win of the season.

After the Boilermakers went without scoring for the first time in the fifth inning, the Buckeyes finally got to Stroh. Brady Cherry singled back up the middle with one out and moved to second on a passed ball. After a Tyler Cowles single, there were runners on the corners for Shea Murray. He lashed a double down the left field line, scoring Cherry and giving the scarlet and gray two runners in scoring position.

But Stroh buckled down, getting West to send a shallow fly ball to right and Tre’ Gantt to foul out to third to end the threat.

Ohio State got 2.1 innings of scoreless relief out of Austin Woodby, and managed to load the bases in the bottom of the eighth, but a comeback simply wasn’t in the cards.

The rubber match of the weekend will be played on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. ET with the winner getting its first series win of the Big Ten season. Buckeye Vision will have the game available for live streaming.
