I said it during the Spring that Victor is going to have a breakout year this year. Glad to get a small glimpse of today's practice. More please!

That was a great catch and burst he had there. What I might be most impressed with though is BHart on him for not being stronger in the catch point and he caught it for a score! Might be a gem we've uncovered.

It really is that bad. Waited a long time for my fall fix. Now I don't know when it's coming or if it's the same stuff I got last time.

Buckeyes Keeping Things Light in Fall Camp
The Buckeyes opened up Fall Camp 2018 on Friday with their head coach Urban Meyer on paid administrative leave.
Rather than succumb to what is going on on the outside of the OSU football facilities, acting head coach Ryan Day and the rest of his staff are trying to keep the players insulated and upbeat.
Each day during practice and following practice, the team has done things to keep the mood lightened, and one of those things on Saturday was having a speaker.
Actor and comedian Sinbad, who is also the uncle of Buckeye safety Jordan Fuller, spoke with the team for a bit and appeared to be just what the doctor ordered.
He spoke on a variety of topics, but also had some advice for OSU strength coach Mickey Mariotti.
You can see a bit of what he had to say in this video tweeted out by Ohio State Football’s official Twitter account.
Fall camp is currently closed to the media and Ohio State will provide on update on Monday if anything is going to be opened in the near future. As such, there is no news and there are no photos coming out of camp.

You know what? Chicken butt.
I bet Jonathan Cooper, Chase Young, all the DTs not named BB or Dremont, the entire LB core, Sheffield, Okudah and several ather DBs, McCall, Haskins, an elite rookie TE from the east coast, Munford, Teague and a host of other guys are just grinding under the radar and thinking nothing but how to make themselves a household name, chase some hardware and get to the league.
They are watching film and getting their bodies right.
They will be hungry as hell in a month or so. This Urb deal is perfect cover while the soulless freight train gets up to speed.

With all the attention on UFM my only positive of the media blackout for fall camp is the players aren’t under the microscope this month and can focus on getting ready and from what I’ve read the last few post being loose and relaxed and just get it done. Hoping to see a fired up team come September 1st playing with a chip on their shoulder. Have a gut feeling they will come out ready to prove a point no matter what the coaching situation is, but I’m being an optimist right now.

There's a nice vid of Victor catching one over Okudah. Victor looks very quick and explosive!

OHIO STATE BETTER POSITIONED IN 2018 THAN IN 2011 FOR SUCCESS ON THE FIELD DESPITE POSSIBLE COACHING CHANGE
The last time Ohio State went though a coaching controversy of this magnitude, the roster that was left when Jim Tressel left Columbus was a skeleton of what it had been in years past.
With Terrelle Pryor gone and the likes of Dan Herron, Mike Adams, DeVier Posey and Solomon Thomas suspended, Ohio State's roster went from one that looked as though it could still contend for a Big Ten title to one that barely managed to make a bowl game.
Fast forward seven seasons later, and Ohio State is in a very similar situation.
Urban Meyer is on paid administrative leave and under investigation following accusations that he knew about Zach Smith's alleged domestic violence history, specifically an incident in 2015. Meyer has since admitted he knew about such allegations and reported them to the "proper channels," after he denied knowing about such allegations at Big Ten Media Days on July 24.
Meyer's future as Ohio State's head coach is still very much in the air, but one thing that is not is the talent on the field for the Buckeyes.
In 2011, when Luke Fickell took over for Tressel, Ohio State was going through similar position battles, but the talent at those positions wasn't what it is now.
Seven years ago, Joe Bauserman and a freshman Braxton Miller were battling for a quarterback position that ultimately went to Bauserman for the first three games of the year, of which Ohio State won two, albeit against Akron and Toledo. Now, the Buckeye quarterbacks battling it out are Dwayne Haskins and Tate Martell, one of which has played in The Game and won against Michigan, while the other was a highly touted five-star prospect.
The talent gap from 2011 to 2018 doesn't stop at quarterback. Currently, Ohio State is working with two of the best running backs in the Big Ten (if not the country) in its backfield and an offensive line that returns starters Isaiah Prince, Michael Jordan, Demetrius Knox and Branden Bowen. The Buckeyes also bring back a plethora of wide receivers with multiple years of playing experience.
In 2011, Ohio State's top two receivers were a freshman Devin Smith and a sophomore Corey "Philly" Brown. This isn't to say that Smith and Brown weren't extremely talented, but they were very inexperienced and thrown into a situation that was likely too big for them to handle at the time.
On the defensive side, the story is very much the same. While the 2011 defense featured plenty of young talent in freshmen Bradley Roby and Ryan Shazier, the Buckeyes were largely inexperienced or featured veteran players that had yet to make a significant impact on the program. Three of the four leading tacklers on the 2011 squad were sophomores playing their first significant reps as Buckeyes as C.J. Barnett, Christian Bryant and Johnathan Hankins ranked first, third and fourth on the team in tackles.
The 2018 Buckeye defense features the likes of Nick Bosa and Chase Young, who figure to book-end one of, if not the, best defensive lines in the conference. In addition, Jordan Fuller is set to patrol a defensive secondary that despite losing Denzel Ward, returns Kendall Sheffield and Damon Arnette, two cornerbacks with plenty of experience.
Not only is the talent on the field better, but the assistant coaching staff is perhaps the strongest in the country. Greg Schiano and Kevin Wilson both have head coaching experience while acting head coach Ryan Day is one of the game's youngest and brightest up-and-coming stars. Add in perhaps the best defensive line coach in the country in Larry Johnson, and you have a coaching staff that is light years ahead of the 2011 staff, which featured names like Jim Bollman and Nick Siciliano.
