Ohio State beat writer for Bucknuts of 247Sports/CBSSports & Columbus Crew for Massive Report | St. Louis ➡️ Columbus · [email protected]
This throw by Julian Sayin won't get talked about much because it's become so routine, but 35 yards on the money. His footwork is great as he flips his hips around after rolling left.
Jeremiah Smith also makes this route and catch look easy despite two defenders around him.

"When you're at Ohio State, you've got to bring your A game every day. In practice, you can't have a bad day at Ohio State." - Julian Sayin on his responsibility as the #Buckeyes' QB1.

There hasn't been much communication between Ryan Day and Jim Knowles after the latter left for Penn State in January. However, the #Buckeyes moved on quickly, finding success and the right chemistry with Matt Patricia.
"It ended up being a home run."

The passing game and the defense were great. The rushing attack and the special teams were not.
I've got grades from Ohio State's win at Wisconsin.

A night game in the Shoe! A weird game for the #Buckeyes, but a win
I was there and took it all in. I have my stream of consciousness from Ohio State's game against Ohio.

Changing his typical day-before-game plan, Ryan Day, along with his wife Nina, was at the Arts IMPACT Middle School this morning discussing mental health for kids: "It's about the impact you have on people."

I'm interested to see if Ohio State can come out and play like last week against an overmatched opponent and how seriously the #Buckeyes take the Bobcats.
I joined the Bucknuts staff, giving our thoughts and predictions before this week's game.

It was hard to find many negatives about Ohio State when the #Buckeyes won 70-0. But nitpick we must.

I enjoyed talking with national champion Tyvis Powell about Ohio State's defense, how it worked against Arch Manning and Texas and why Matt Patricia was able to install so much so quickly. A great Bucknuts Happy Hour this week.

There were questions about what Matt Patricia's Ohio State defense would look like. Based on a big Week 1 win, it's going to look pretty good.
I delve further into the #Buckeyes' win against Texas upon further review.

Some people have asked me if Wessam Abou Ali will play for #Crew96 tonight. He will not and I don't believe he travelled. Wilfried Nancy made it seem like it would be a while this week, as the new DP striker hasn't played since suffering a hamstring injury in the final game of the Club World Cup.
