MCDONALD CLEARED AFTER MEDICAL SCARE
The scariest moment of Saturday’s game at Ohio Stadium came early in the second quarter when Cincinnati safety Kyriq McDonald collapsed to the turf and received medical attention for several minutes after convulsing on the field, prompting Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, among others, to come out to midfield to monitor the situation.
Fortunately, McDonald was eventually able to rise to his feet, drawing an ovation from the Ohio Stadium before he was carted back to the locker room. McDonald was transported to the Wexner Medical Evaluation for further evaluation, but Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell said after the game that McDonald was expected to make a full recovery.
“I saw his mom. I just saw him. He’s been cleared with everything,” Fickell said. “I couldn’t tell you exactly what the situation was, only that he was not hit. I actually was watching him and thought he tore his Achilles because he went straight to the ground. Just a really scary situation.”
While Cincinnati did not confirm what happened to McDonald, his mother told ABC’s Allison Williams during the game broadcast that he has a history of seizures.
Several Ohio State players took to Twitter after the game to share their best wishes for McDonald.

Maybe the best news of the entire game.

THREE KEY STATS: BATTLE IN THE TRENCHES, EXPLOSIVE BUCKEYES AND FIRST-DOWN EFFICIENCY
At long last, the Battle of Ohio is over.
The Cincinnati Bearcats took the trek up I-71 for the first time since Ohio State's National Championship winning season. The Buckeyes controlled the game from start to finish, winning 42-0 and allowing just 273 yards of total offense. It was Cincinnati's first shutout loss since 2005.
In today's Three Key Stats, we'll look at the difference in pass protection, Ohio State's big plays, and how the Bucks efficiency on first down helped them stay ahead of the chains and control the game.
After their bout against Florida Atlantic, it was obvious that the offensive line was the unit that needed to improve the most. The Bucks allowed two sacks and two hurries against a bad Owls defense.
This week, against a defense that finished last year in the top five in total defense, the offensive line stepped it up, allowing just a single sack and no hurries. While there still may be work to be done with this unit, their performance in pass protection and run blocking (Ohio State averaged 5.9 yards per rush) against a solid defense is more than commendable.
On the defensive side, the Rushmen simply got after it. Tyreke Smith recorded his first career sack, Chase Young was in the backfield for 1.5 sacks and Brendon White added another one. Even defensive back Shaun Wade, who had arguably the most complete game of his young career, was able to sack Ridder.
In all, the Buckeyes sacked Cincinnati five times and allowed just one on the other side of the ball.
J.K. Dobbins is looking like J.K. Dobbins again, eh?
With three big rushes, including this 60-yard scamper, it is pretty safe to say he is back and (hopefully) better than ever.

These clowns at ESPN really want FPI to be a thing. It’s a joke.They ranked 11 of the 14 teams in the SEC in their preseason Top 25 and think that result is defensible.
It makes me want to apply for a job as an IT executive at ESPN just so I could walk into the office and fire them all the first day.
Who came up with FPI? You’re fired.
Who encouraged this? You’re fucking fired too.

The ceiling is very high I'll say that much.
I'm sticking to what I said before the game though, just a 10% improvement from week to week and start peaking in the Pig House. This week was more than a 10% improvement for sure.
Cincinnati is not a bad team and I think they'll show that in their conference. Just ran into a pissed off Buckeye Defense today and the Offense is cooking with Fields back there. On to the next!

I’m very curious to how this guy could explain the math of FPI of having a Tennessee team that went 5-7 last year, and looked quite bad at doing so. Being ranked #15 in said systems preseason ranking:
