No. 11 Ohio State hockey downs No. 1/2 Penn State in shootout, 2-1

The Buckeyes came back from down a goal three different times to overcome the Nittany Lions in a shootout.
Nobody is really sure how good of a team Penn State actually is. They’ve beaten up on lower ranked teams, but they’ve beaten them, which is all you can ask for. They shoot at will and do enough to win. At least on most night. Because No. 11 Ohio State found a way to keep coming back in Happy Valley to down the No. 1/2 Nittany Lions in a shootout, 2-1.
Penn State came into the game just 3-2-1 against top 30 ranked teams, including a split at Ohio State on January 6th and 7th. They are, however, 13-0 against the bottom 30 ranked teams in the country, so they may not be quite the behemoth their No. 1/2 ranking would indicate. Ohio State showed that they could be beaten by quality competition yet again on Friday night.
The Buckeyes have now won two out of three games versus Penn State this season, with their 3-0 win on January 6th opening the season series and a 4-2 PSU win following that the day after.
Ohio State has had their problems with attacking hockey and generating shot attempts and scoring chances against pretty much any opponent, quality or not, recently, and that continued on Friday night. Penn State, as they’re wont to do as they are a team known for nothing if not firing from anywhere they can.
PSU generated 59 shots on goal in the game to Ohio State’s 27. Shooting from anywhere can only account for so much. That is a ridiculous possession percentage and the first period may have been the most embarrassing period of the year for Ohio State. Escaping from it down only 1-0 was a miracle the likes of which the team desperately needed to have a chance in this game.
OSU was outshot by a count of 24-3 in the first period. You read that right. Penn State had 24 shots. Ohio State had three.
Christian Frey kept Ohio State’s hopes alive somehow, stopping all but one of the Nittany Lion shots, a goal by James Robinson at 7:48 of the first frame. That’d be one of many missed opportunities for Penn State in this one as they had a chance to step on Ohio State’s collective throat and just couldn’t do it.
The second period would be slightly more egalitarian, to Ohio State’s liking, as the shots were 12-12 in the period. Ohio State survived the initial domination and onslaught to come back and play with the No. 1/2 team fairly evenly in the second. And if you’re getting even shots against Penn State, who will shoot from any possible place, inflating their possession stats, you’re probably outplaying them.
Josh Healey was the one who tied the game up for Ohio State, with a goal at 12:21 of the second, with assists going to David Gust and Dakota Joshua. He got a feed from Gust to the open slot to the right of PSU goalie Peyton Jones and fired it in.
Alas, Penn State would strike with just 1:34 remaining in the second to go into intermission with the lead. Vince Pedrie’s tally made it 2-1 in favor of Penn State as the teams headed to the dressing room, but Ohio State had to like how much it improved in the period as compared to the horror show of the first.
OSU would be outshot 18-10 in the third period, a less dominating showcase than you would think due to Penn State’s propensity to shoot from the moon if it lands on goal. And the scoring in the period would bear that out for Ohio State.
For the second time in the game, Ohio State closed a one goal gap and tied it, this time with a Mason Jobst tally at 6:53 of the third. He put in his own rebound to tie it, with assists going to Miguel Fidler and Matt Weis.
Penn State didn’t like this development, however, and decided to get their lead back just a few minutes later. At 12:41 of the third, they went back up by a goal and made it 3-2. Alec Marsh was the one who found some room past Frey and put PSU back up once again.
Jobst really wanted to have an ultimately game tying goal, though, and tied it up once again at 13:59 with his second of the night. Joshua and Gust both had their second assists of the night on the tying goal that would send the game to overtime and a shootout.
Penn State would be granted a powerplay in overtime on a Kevin Miller hooking penalty and outshot OSU 5-2 in the extra frame, but Frey stoned them. He ended overtime with 56 saves on 59 shots. That’s a .949 save percentage. He’d have to be Martin Brodeur crossed with Dominik Hasek to get anywhere near that on a regular basis.
The shootout is where Ohio State finally would end up with their first lead of the game.
The first four rounds would consist of nothing but misses, as OSU and PSU traded everything but goals. Jobst, Weis, Gust and John Wiitala all missed for Ohio State, while Ricky DeRosa, Andrew Sturtz, Denis Smirnov and Pedrie did the same for the Nittany Lions.
The fifth round is where things went off the rails. Brandon Biro finally broke the scoreless shootout tie and looked to one more save from Jones to send the Nittany Lions home with a victory. Joshua said no and tied it up. A pretty good time for their first shootout goal of the night.
Nate Sucese would then miss for PSU, with Kevin Miller doing the same for OSU. David Goodwin, who was the player sent off for the penalty that led to the powerplay Jobst tied the game on, also missed and then something good happened.
Sam McCormick, the freshman from De Pere, Wisconsin, sent Ohio State home with a win, scoring on Jones and giving Ohio State the win over the No. 1/2 Nittany Lions.
The two teams will battle once again on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET in Happy Valley. Ohio State can’t do any more than hope for a better first period with the same outcome.

How do Urban Meyer’s first 5 seasons stack up against Ohio State’s best coaches?
Ian Hartitz via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
Woody vs. Jim vs. Urban.
Ohio State has had three head coaches since the 1950s that have won at least as many national championships as Michigan has since 1948. Woody Hayes, Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer all reached the pinnacle of college football within their first four seasons of coaching.
For Hayes, his first five seasons were simply the start of an incredible 28-year career that saw him win five national championships and 13 Big-Ten championships. For Tressel, his first five seasons were followed by back-to-back national championship losses and ultimately the end of his time with the Buckeyes.
No one knows how Meyer’s final five seasons at Ohio State will go. The recruits sure look great now, but only time will tell if Meyer can cement himself as the greatest Buckeyes coach ever.
With that said, Meyer has now been at Ohio State for five seasons, it’s the #offseason, and I’m itching to do some comparing. Which Ohio State coach had the greatest first five seasons? Let’s first take a look some of each coach’s key statistics.
Overview
/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7838161/jimmy_meyer.jpg)
Those are three very impressive resumes, but it’s clear each coach has an edge in certain areas. Let’s dive into five key categories and see who comes out on top.
Michigan. Edge: Urban
Meyer is the the clear leader against That Team Up North at 5-0. He’s won against mostly solid Michigan teams as well, as his wins include three wins over top-20 Michigan teams. Meyer’s clear highlight was beating No. 3 ranked Michigan 30-27 in double OT in 2016, though his dominant 42-13 win over Jim Harbaugh and company in 2015 was legendary in its own right.
Tressel also killed it against Michigan, just like he said he would from day one. His 4-1 record came against five-consecutive ranked Michigan squads. Tressel’s signature win came at home against No. 12 Michigan in 2002 to go to the national championship, but shout-out to the 2004 Buckeyes for shocking No. 7 Michigan at home 37-21 in a huge upset.
Hayes lost two of his first three games against the Wolverines, but had back-to-back decisive victories in 1954 and 1955. After clinching a Rose Bowl berth after a 21-7 victory in 1954, Hayes traveled to Ann Arbor in 1955 and earned the only shutout among the group: a 17-0 victory of No. 6 Michigan.
Big Games. Edge: Jim Tressel
Hayes went 11-3-1 against the top-25, notching the fewest losses among the three coaches, but this category has to go to big-game Jim.
Tressel was consistently playing the country's best, as his 27 games against top-25 competition were eight more than Meyer and 12 more than Hayes. Tressel made a point of balling out against top-10 competition, notching a very solid 6-2 record. Where he truly stood out was in bowl games, where his 4-1 record surpasses Meyer’s 3-2 mark.
Meyer is an impressive 15-4 against top-25 competition, but Tressel’s early-career bowl success is overwhelming. Unfortunately for Hayes, only the Big-Ten champion was eligible to play in a bowl game (the Rose Bowl) up until 1975. That’s okay, because Hayes didn’t need to travel far to establish his legacy.
Conference Play. Edge: Woody Hayes
Hayes owned the Big Ten and is the only coach of the group to have two outright Big-Ten championship. He finished 24-7-2 overall against the Big Ten during his first five seasons and he didn’t lose in-conference in 1954 or 1955.
Tressel’s two Big-Ten championships included one that was shared in 2005. His 30-10 record against the Big Ten includes as many losses as Meyer and Hayes had combined during their first five seasons.
Meyer’s 40-3 record against the Big Ten is incredible. It’s not his fault his 2012 team didn’t have a chance to compete for championship glory, but even then he didn’t ever possess the same stranglehold on the conference that Hayes did. Sure, Meyer’s incredible two-year start against the Big Ten was great, but it culminated in a crushing defeat against Michigan State. Hayes managed to win all 13 of his Big-Ten matchups during 1954 and 1955 and helped establish the Buckeyes’ dominance over their conference.
Titles. Edge: Push
Each coach managed to secure one national championship. No one had an opportunity to win two, though teams in 1955, 2003, 2015 and 2016 certainly came close.
Overall Excellence. Edge: Urban
Meyer’s domination is simply unparalleled. He’s had two win streaks longer than anything that either Hayes or Tressel managed to string together during their first five years. Meyer’s 61-6 record is preposterous, but I think the most ridiculous stat is the fact that Meyer managed to score more points during his first five years than both Tressel and Hayes combined.
Tressel + Hayes point total = 2664. Meyer = 2731.
While Meyer earns this blogger’s approval, this study truly reflects the embarrassment of riches Ohio State has had at head coach for the better part of the last 60 years. Here’s to continued success in 2017 and beyond.

The Buckeyes, who have won four straight over the Huskers, were turnover-free in the second half after committing 11 in the first while falling behind 40-32. They capitalized on Nebraska's awful shooting. The Huskers hit 50 percent from the field in ...

A pair of Ohio State defensive stars are projected to be drafted in the first round

Buckeyes have a nice showing in Mel Kiper’s first mock draft of the season.
“Kiper had only two Ohio State players in the first round in his first mock draft. He projected cornerback Marshon Lattimore going No. 6 overall, to the New York Jets, and safety Malik Hooker heading to Washington with the 17th pick.”
— Bill Rabinowitz, The Columbus Dispatch
As Ohio State’s football squad is pivoting to the start of the 2017 campaign, those leaving the program in search of the NFL are starting to see their projected draft spot.
Famed ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. made his first mock draft board of the year that featured a couple Buckeyes projected in the first round. Defensive back Marshon Lattimore leads the OSU delegation and is projected to be the No. 6 pick — going to the New York Jets. The second Buckeye, and fellow defenseman, is Malik Hooker; Hooker is slated to go to the Washington Redskins at the No. 17 slot.
Kiper said three Buckeyes (Curtis Samuel, Raekwon McMillan and Gareon Conley) could go in the second round, according to Rabinowitz’s write up for the Columbus Dispatch. Former offensive lineman Pat Elflein was graded as a potential third round pick by Kiper.
Receiver Noah Brown made the surprise to forgo the 2017 season and enter the draft — surprising Kiper. However, Kiper has Brown being taken off the board in either the third or fourth round, according to Rabinowitz’s article.
The Buckeyes had a few more first round selections in last year’s draft, though. Five Buckeyes saw their name come off the first round draft board, with Joey Bosa and Ezekiel Elliott leading the pack as top five selections.
"Look, he’s what 23-24? For a guy to be doing that meeting with the coaches after practice, and coming in at 6-7 a.m., you’re talking about a (24) year-old. You kidding me?"
— Lawrence Timmons on Ryan Shazier, as reported by Christopher B. Mueller (The Times)
Sunday, Ryan Shazier will play for an AFC Championship (and a potential trip to his first Super Bowl) with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was only four years ago that Shazier suited up in Scarlet and Gray as part of the vaunted silver bullet defense. Since being drafted in the NFL, the former Buckeye has made himself a tour de force on the gridiron, and helped anchor a Steeler defense that has shown steady progress — compared to two years before Shazier arrived in Pittsburgh, where the Steelers missed consecutive playoff appearances.
In an article in The Times, Christopher Mueller broke down Shazier’s rise to being a defensive leader for the Steel Curtain. Still in the early stage of his professional career, Shazier gained the trust of the coaches and is doing the things that leaders do. Lawrence Timmons’ quote above describes Shazier’s work ethic and commitment to leading the pack.
So far this season, Shazier has 55 tackles, three interceptions and three forced fumbles in 13 games played. Shazier can add to those numbers this Sunday, as the Steelers face the New England Patriots at 6:40 p.m. on CBS. The winner will be crowned AFC Champion and will have their tickets punched for Super Bowl LI.
“That won’t be welcome news for the Cats, who have lost 12 straight games against Ohio State and 19 of 20 since Thad Matta became the Buckeyes’ coach in 2004.”
— Ben Pope, The Daily Northwestern
On the hardwood, Thad Matta and his Buckeyes are starting to find their identity in conference play. After dropping the first four games in Big Ten competition, the Bucks have won back to back contests that came down to the wire.
For Northwestern, OSU’s next opponent, they may not be too thrilled with the Buckeyes starting their winning ways again.
In the Daily Northwestern, writer Ben Pope brought up NU’s drought of missing the NCAA Tournament, and how maybe (maybe) this would be the Wildcats chance to get invited to the Big Dance. However, after losing to Iowa on Sunday and watching the Buckeyes beat Nebraska at the buzzer on Wednesday, Northwestern’s margin of error for getting into the tournament may keep on getting smaller as the Wildcats travel to Ohio State for Sunday’s contest.
Since Matta became the coach in Columbus, Ohio, OSU has dominated the series against Northwestern. We’ll see at 1 p.m. Sunday if Matta can go 20-for-21 against the Wildcats — and put the Buckeyes on a three game winning streak in conference play.
Buckeyes at the College Football Hall of Fame
If you plan on traveling to Atlanta in the near future, you’ll be able to see recent College Football Hall of Fame inductee, and former Buckeye great, Tom Cousineau’s memorabilia on display.

Geoff Hammersley
From a helmet to his Orange Bowl MVP trophy, the 2016 inductee has a small corner of one of the display areas recognizing the 2016 class. Throughout the museum, you can also look at the hall of fame profiles of past Buckeye greats like Chris Spielman and Archie Griffin, as well as the profiles of coaches like John Cooper and Jim Tressel.
Beside Ohio State memorabilia, the hall of fame features trophies from the New Year’s Six Bowl games, breakdown of plays by famous coaches, kicking and passing minigames and the ability to record your own broadcast of famous college football plays. For giggles, you can broadcast your own version of Colorado’s Hail Mary to defeat Michigan in 1994.
It’s definitely a place to visit if you love college football.
