It would help an offensive line trying to gel that’s for sure.
We are now in the home stretch so anything we’ve been saving we need to have available. Also, forget the snap counts for kids at this point too. I still hope we rotate on the DL but for example Trey and Q should be on the field at the same time more. They’re too good to only get 12-15 touches a game and we need to be able to run the ball.

Ryan Day
On Carson Hinzman and Austin Siereveld
- "It's an opportunity. Every week is an opportunity."
- "Nothing that's happened in the past matters moving forward. It's all about what you do moving forward. All the work that's been put in leading up to this point now has to pay off."
- "These guys are gonna have great opportunities."
- Day said Hinzman and Siereveld have experience and will benefit from the bonds they've created with the teammates around them on the offensive line. He said they'll also benefit from blocking Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton in practice each day.
On how Ohio State will respond to Seth McLaughlin's injury
- "Our leaders have got to lead."
- "This team wants to win. They're not interested in individual accolades."
- "The whole team, the offense, the offensive line is crushed for Seth. But you wake up the next morning, you gotta move on. Nobody cares. The game of football doesn't care. That's the way it works. We do. We want Seth around until he has his surgery and then we'll go from there. But at the end of the day, we have to rally. The leaders have to do that."
On Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson
- "I thought they were running downhill. They're gonna need to run downhill in this game. These guys do a lot of moving and shaking in different fronts."
- "We all have to sacrifice if we want the betterment of the entire team and the goals we want to achieve. It's not about individuals. Both of those guys have sacrificed this year."
- Day said Judkins and Henderson have been able to "play fast, downhill and physical" at this point in the season because they made sacrifices earlier in the year.
On Ohio State's scout team
- "Our scout teams have been excellent this year."
- "We are able to utilize more coaches now... and have scout team meetings and really mimic the body language, the looks, the coverages and all those things. When we go to practice every day, we are working through the issues and not working through them in a game."
- "The scout teams have done a great job all season but in particular this week of showing what Indiana is gonna do on offense and defense."
On Ohio State's special teams, Indiana's special teams
- "They've had some good returns," Day said of Indiana. "They've played well on special teams."
- "We need the special teams to continue to be a plus for us. We're talking about the battle of field position in a matchup game. Every yard matters. Every inch matters."
- Day said Ohio State has "spent a good amount of time" on special teams this season and that "the focus has been good" in special teams meetings this week.
On Caleb Downs
- "He triggers. He covers a lot of ground quickly. He's explosive."
- "He puts a lot of work in. I think he's a great example to some of our younger players to see that this is a guy who is very, very talented, but he puts in just as much work, if not more work, than anybody on the defensive side of the ball."
- "We're gonna need him this week."
- "We're gonna have to have that secondary playing sound but being really competitive and getting after it."
On Sonny Styles
- "A lot of production, especially in the second half."
- "He can do things at all three levels."
- Day said people forget that Styles moved to linebacker this offseason and doesn't have much experience at the position. "The more he's seeing things, the faster he's playing."
On Ohio State making second-half adjustments
- "We have a veteran group, so it's important to recognize what's going on in a game and make those adjustments."
- "I thought we did a nice job in the middle eight (minutes) this past game."
- "I think understanding situations is as important as anything."
On making in-game adjustments
- "We got to be on our game."
- "We got to be communicating at a high level."
- Day said adjustments can happen quicker now because of the tablets Ohio State has access to.
- "Some of those TV timeouts are so long, you've got time. You might as well find something to do. Give me the tablet. We'll get some guys coached up in the huddle."
On Indiana's passing game vs. Ohio State's secondary
- "They're very balanced."
- "They're gonna throw the ball in the RPO game and take their shots."
- "They're gonna challenge our guys in the secondary, for sure. I think the quarterback does a nice job in terms of locating the football, getting the ball out on time. The receivers do a nice job of running routes... I also think they play the ball really well."
- "You see it in the numbers this year. A good challenge for our guys."
On Jack Sawyer
- "Jack has been a great leader for us."
- "He really embodies what it means to be a Buckeye. He loves his teammates. He loves this school. He loves the Buckeyes. He plays really hard out there. ... He's bringing guys with him. That's what leadership is about. ... He's been strong in there. He's had a great presence."
- "He knows he's got to be at his best just like the rest of those leaders."
On Carnell Tate
- "He's a team player."
- "I just think so many guys have so much respect for how he handled himself."
- "He's got a lot of respect in this building. A lot of people care a lot about him."
- "The whole team rallied around him. I think he felt his support."
- Day said Brandon Inniss has "always been there" for Tate. "I think he's one of the closest people in his life. You can see their relationship. When Carnell scored, Brandon was probably in the end zone by the time he landed. That's the way Brandon is. He is such a competitive dude. He loves to play."
On Will Howard, his leadership on and off the field
- "That's what we need here. Here we go. Game 11, top-five matchup, it's gonna come down to leadership. The No. 1 job for the quarterback is to lead the team to the end zone and lead the team to victory. His leadership has been excellent. Excellent."
- Day said Howard has taken command of the offense this season and has built rapport with Ohio State's running backs, wide receivers and tight ends.
- Day said Chip Kelly is the only coach who communicates with Will Howard via helmet communications. Day said he has a button he can press on his headset to communicate with Howard, but he hasn't used it much this season.
On Indiana's defense
- "They're moving every play. They have multiple fronts, multiple coversages. They are very aggressive in what they do."
- "A lot of movement up front. They do a good job of it – a lot of TFLs and they tie it all together in how they call it. They're very good. Their backend is tied in well."
- "It's a great challenge for our offense."

There is a large talent differential…tOSU should dominate .. if Indiana plays PSU Oregon they lose. So in “theory” a two score win. The job gets done…

Just a schlub from Y-town
After some reflection, the 2024 debacle was a result of benching Hinzman and putting Jones at center, and also starting a not very strong Vimahi, because Hinzman did a stupid podcast. UGA's players who have committed crimes have been treated better than Hinzman has been for a freaking podcast. Lol. Add the Brown injury. It was a cluster F.
Hinzman has experience at center. He looked strong at guard and Siervold has looked good when he was given the opportunity to start in place of Tegra.
I think this Oline can get it done, but as a whole they have not worked together. Hopefully the kinks get worked out as the game and the rest of the season progresses.
IU has bigger depth issues.
We shall see.... go Bucks!

Again they have not played anybody, and their depth is suspect.
Not saying it will be a cake walk, but I like our chances.

This will be the last of 5 matchups between top-5 teams in the 2024 regular season
Ohio State will have been in three of those 5 games
Georgia was in both of the other two
Ohio State and all of its opponents are still in the top 5
Only one of the teams involved in the other two top-5 matchups is still in the top 5 (Tx)

Let the cards fall...
Put me in the camp of being skeptical of Indiana. The have benefitted from outscheming equal or lesser talented opponents to this point. I’m not discounting the job that their coaching staff has done to this point. Everything being said, how do they do against a team playing their third top 5 matchup, with significantly more talent in their building? Did I mention that our coaching staff is more experienced in these types of games? Even if they would put together a great game plan I don’t think it’s nearly enough.
I like the Buckeyes by 14+ this weekend.
