It’s another game in the books for the 2023 version of YOUR Ohio State football team, and it was another victorious one, with the Buckeyes pulling away from the Youngstown State Penguins to win, 35-7.
It was a little bit of a ho-hum feeling afterwards because there were signs of an OSU offense waking up, but we also saw plenty of moments that still need to be addressed. At the end of the day, the best thing about being 2-0 is that you get a chance to be 3-0, and that’s really where things stand heading into a matchup with Western Kentucky next Saturday.

Off we go …
I love the smell of rubber turf pellets in the morning

Big, if true
I promise you that you can be happy about Ohio State winning, and also think they have things to work on without being miserable.

An announcement coming this week?
Ryan Day on Kyle McCord taking over as Ohio State's starter full-time: "We will look at all this weekend to see if he's made that step," he said. "I'm not ready to make a decision on that yet."

I have to admit, I never really thought we needed LESS of college football, but that's where we are
Trying to get people to understand the game clock issue is annoying….
Ohio State had a 13 play drive that took 4:51 seconds.
YSU had a 6 play drive that took 4:08 seconds.
If you cant grasp how this is slowing down the game and limiting OSU opportunities nothing will.
OSU…
