Controversial Call Costs Ohio State Victory

In a nail-biting game that ended with a 32-31 loss to Oregon, Ohio State faced several highs and lows. Man, that game against Oregon was intense! Can you believe that call on Jeremiah Smith? Offensive pass interference?! Joel Klatt even said it was bogus. We had a real shot at winning, but that call pushed us out of field goal range. Heartbreaker, right? What a ride. This penalty moved the Buckeyes out of field goal range, dashing their hopes of snatching victory.

Buckeyes on the Rebound: Ohio State’s Journey to Redemption Against Youngstown State

Kyle McCord

The No.5-ranked Ohio State football team displayed a somewhat lackluster performance against Indiana, leaving many wondering about the wrinkles in their offensive attack. A new chapter had begun with the introduction of Kyle McCord as the starting quarterback, and it was apparent that adjustments were in order.

Kyle McCord

Kyle McCord’s inaugural start as the Buckeyes’ quarterback may have sputtered in the season opener, but with Youngstown State in their crosshairs, there’s an air of anticipation. The question looms: can McCord and the offense find their rhythm? Fans holding tickets for this game hope to see a resurgence, led by head coach Ryan Day and their new signal-caller. Yet, the subplot thickens.

It’s not just about McCord; it’s about the quarterback room in its entirety. Ohio State football aficionados are well aware that two quarterbacks are slated to take the field against Youngstown State. McCord’s understudy, Devin Brown, is scheduled to enter the fray. If the game unfolds as expected, with Ohio State heavily favored and a point spread extending beyond 40 points, it’s plausible that fans might glimpse the emerging talents waiting in the wings.

Shifting the focus to the defensive side of the ball, Ohio State’s performance against Indiana … Read more at FryingPanSports

2023 Ohio State Quarterback Lincoln Kienholz

Ohio State signed 2023 South Dakota Quarterback Lincoln Kienholz (6’1 180) to a National Letter of Intent on Wednesday. His skill-set would fit right in with the Buckeyes. Lincoln Kienholz is one of the state’s top recruits this cycle. He’s already signed with Ohio State and appears to be a team leader, but what could have been? The Buckeyes flipped him from Washington when they lost another top quarterback in the cycle. It is becoming a habit that OSU needs a quarterback late in the recruiting period.

Kienholz Could Have Gotten More at Washington

With every Ohio State signee, there seems to be a question whether or not the Buckeyes are maximizing its NIL potential in regard to recruiting. It’s no different with this cycle, perhaps more so given the rampant speculation over Alabama’s (and yes, other rivals’) use of satellite camps and other visits in the summer. Keinholz stated this past week that Washington had more NIL money for him than Ohio State had available.

The Buckeyes secured a signature from the fastest-rising quarterback in the country after flipping him earlier this month. For Lincoln Kienholz, there was no end to the size … Read more at FryingPanSports
