OhioStatevsTennessee

Game Details


Date: Saturday, December 21, 2024
Time: 8:00 PM ET
Location: Ohio Stadium, Columbus, OH
TV/Streaming: ESPN and ABC
Spread: Ohio State -7.5
Over/Under: 47 points

Players to Watch


Ohio State Buckeyes:

Will Howard (QB): Over from Kansas State, Howard has been very accurate on the season, completing 72.3% of his passes with 27 touchdowns versus 8 interceptions. His experience will need to be huge to work against the aggressive defense in Tennessee.
Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Egbuka - WRs: Smith has the edge with 934 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, while Egbuka has 743 yards with 9 scores. Chemistry between them and Howard is essential.
TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins - RBs: This tandem has rushed for a combined 1,556 yards, which could create some balance that might attack Tennessee's run defense.

OhioStateUniform

Tennessee Volunteers:

Nico Iamaleava (QB): As a freshman, he has huge upside, with 19 touchdown passes so far, but he needs to raise his game against the Ohio State defense. His ability to perform in cold weather may play a factor.
Dylan Sampson (RB): An SEC-leading 1,485 yards and 22 touchdowns on the ground; how Sampson will find life against the Buckeyes defense remains to be seen.
James Pearce Jr. (DL): The strong man in Tennessee's defensive line with 7.5 sacks so far this season, Pearce can easily disrupt the Ohio State attack.

Coaching Dynamics


Ryan Day (Ohio State): Under a lot of scrutiny following a loss to Michigan, Day needs a great outing to cement his spot. How he deploys the arsenal of offensive talent that Ohio State possesses is highly scrutinized.
Josh Heupel, Tennessee: With his innovative approach to offense, Heupel will look to attack any weakness that Ohio State's defense has while managing his young quarterback in a tough environment.

Predictions and Analysis


Matchup Offense vs. Defense: While both teams have top-tier defenses, with Ohio State pacing the country in points surrendered per game at 10.9 and Tennessee close behind, this may just turn out to be a battle of defenses with each trying to maintain control of the clock via the running game. Weather: The weather in Ohio will be cold, which might affect the performance of the Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who is raised in Southern California. Results Predictions:

Ohio State: Expected to leverage their home-field advantage and deep offensive talent, potentially winning by a margin but not covering the 7.5-point spread. The Buckeyes' experience in high-stakes games could give them the edge.

Tennessee: With a solid defense and a potent running game, Tennessee could keep this game closer than expected. If Iamaleava manages to handle the pressure and cold, the Volunteers might upset the odds.

The final score is Ohio State 27, Tennessee 20, indicating that both teams were in a well-contested game, both showing defensive skills, but Ohio State pulled through with some good plays.

Post-Game Outlook


The winner of this game is assured of a berth against No. 1 Oregon in the quarterfinals and sets up what could be another instant classic. Ohio State gets to wash off the sting of that Michigan loss, and Tennessee gets to make its biggest statement in its first-ever College Football Playoff appearance.

Buckeye nation can rejoice once again. The 7-foot-1 center, Aaron Bradshaw, is back with Ohio State men's basketball after his time away from the team. After an unspecified university investigation, Bradshaw has been working on a comeback trail and now is ready to go on the hardwood.

AaronBradshaw

A Welcome Return

The Buckeyes couldn't ask for a better time for Bradshaw to return. He is a huge addition to the team both defensively and on the glass for Ohio State. Bradshaw, in the scant games that he has played this season, has averaged 7.8 points per game with 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks. His protection at the rim and finishing at the rim will be huge as the Buckeyes try to fully navigate their remaining schedule.

Overcoming Adversity

Despite setbacks that Bradshaw has had to work through during his time away, he has proven resilient and determined in getting back on the court. "We are confident that Dan will quickly adjust back into the lineup and become an impactful contributor for us, as he was a season ago," Head Coach Jake Diebler said. The coaching staff will work closely with Bradshaw in getting him back transitioned into game shape.

Looking Ahead

With Bradshaw back in the fold, Buckeye fans can anticipate a very exciting second half of the season. His coming back not only strengthens the rosters but also gives his co-players a morale boost. As Ohio State rolls along through the Big Ten into whatever destination beyond, Bradshaw will be one of many players who will play leading roles in their success.

It's time for Buckeye Nation to rally around Aaron Bradshaw and the Ohio State men's basketball team in pursuit of greatness on the court. Let's go support and cheer them onto victory!

Columbus, OH -- In a stunning turn of events, Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday, taking its fourth straight in one of the sport's great rivalries. That would probably end the Buckeyes' Big Ten title hopes as well. Here's how it unfolded.

OhioStateMichigan

Unranked Michigan went into Columbus and managed to pull off the gigantic upset against heavily favored Ohio State Buckeyes. The game itself was tight, with two costly interceptions thrown by Ohio State quarterback Will Howard.

A Conservative Approach

Throughout the course of the game, Ohio State's play calling was quite conservative. This conservative approach allowed Michigan to hang in there and pull off the victory.

Missed Opportunities

Ohio State's mishaps did not stop there. The Buckeyes missed two kickable field goals, dropped a bunch of passes, and showed a timid approach. All of these blunders cost them the game and gave Michigan the chances they needed to win.

Post-Game Altercation

Immediately after the game, in a matter of seconds, emotions ran high as there was a huge fight on the field. Michigan players attempted to plant their flag at midfield-the Ohio State players fought and resisted with fisticuffs as the altercation grew into an ugly situation that involved the police-who at one point pepper-sprayed some combatants.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day expressed frustration but pride in his team while showing embarrassment about the loss and the post-game brawl.

Looking Ahead

This loss can be a huge blow in Ohio State's season. Moving forward, the team needed to re-group and have refocused. On the side of the Wolverines was to celebrate their fourth win straight out against their rivals, something that has not happened since 1988-91.

The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Indiana Hoosiers have a history on the gridiron, every game adding to this Big Ten rivalry. This season, the stakes are still high as Ohio State fights to maintain its dominance while Indiana eyes the chance to disturb the established order. This highly eagerly awaited match can be watched by fans on Saturday, November 23rd, at 12:00 PM ET, and it will be live on FOX Sports and streamed on select platforms. The Ohio Stadium in Columbus will be hosting the game, and that place is more popularly known as the "Horseshoe." Therefore, this promises to be a really thrilling match. With excitement and anticipation in the air, all eyes are on this pivotal Big Ten showdown.

OhioStatevsIndiana

Setting the Stage: Context of the 2024 Season

Ohio State enters this game on a high, carrying a very strong record to further their reputation as playoff contenders. The Buckeyes aim to prove themselves once more with an explosive offense and relentless defense. Indiana has had a bit of a struggle this season, but that Hoosiers resilience and hunger for an upset make it a formidable opponent. A win for either of these teams could redefine their trajectory in the Big Ten standings.

Key Players to Watch

Ohio State

Will Howard (QB): The senior quarterback has been a standout performer, with impressive stats and leadership on the field.

Quinshon Judkins (RB): A strong running back who has been crucial in the Buckeyes' offensive strategy.

Carnell Tate (WR): Known for his speed and ability to make big plays, Tate has been a reliable target for Howard.

All eyes will be on Ohio State's star quarterback, who has been the backbone of their high-octane offense. The Buckeyes can outpace almost any secondary with a receiving corps loaded for bear, and they have the tools to light up the scoreboard. Defensively, the standouts in the secondary and front line will prove pivotal in containing Indiana's playmakers.

Indiana

Kurtis Rourke-QB: This quarterback is the main cause for Indiana's greatness this season, having led his team to an undefeated record.

Ty Fryfogle-WR: An excellent receiver who has been vital in the Hoosiers' passing game each and every time.

CJ West-DL: A vital player on the D-line, with some awesome skills, disrupting the opponent's offense.

Take the Hoosiers' gritty quarterback who rises to the occasion against all odds, and their versatile running back who can make big gains out of small openings. Indiana's edge rushers need to disrupt Ohio State's rhythm if they're to be competitive at all.

Coaching Strategies: A Tactical Battle

For Ohio State, the game plan is to use depth and speed. Quick passes and power running can overpower Indiana's defense, while calculated blitzes try to keep Indiana's quarterback on his heels. Trick plays, clock management, and aggressive defense may be different ways in which Indiana tries to even things up. It will be intriguing to see this chess game between the coaches.

Game-Day Atmosphere: The Ohio Stadium Experience

Ohio Stadium becomes a sea of scarlet and gray on game day, affectionately referred to as "The Horseshoe." The fans bring energy, passion, and tradition, pushing the morale of the team. Energized by the salient half-time show performed by the band, the cheer that erupts after each touchdown makes the Ohio State experience unparalleled. This game will not be an exception, with over 100,000 fans expected in the stands.

Predictions and Expectations

The odds makers see this game as a close contest, but they're leaning slightly towards Ohio State.
Here are some key points:
Spread: Ohio State is favored by 13.5 points.
Money line: Ohio State is at -500, while Indiana is at +375.
Over/Under: The total points line is set at 51.5.
Despite Ohio State being the favorite, Indiana has been impressive this season, especially with their high-scoring offense. It's expected to be a competitive game.

Analysts give the nod to Ohio State for what should be a solid victory, based on superior talent and depth. Indiana, though, is a dangerous underdog since they always find ways to make big plays off turnovers. A close game isn't out of the question, especially if the Hoosiers can play with urgency and precision.

The Larger Ramification

For Ohio State, it cements its way toward the Big Ten Championship and strengthens their playoff hopes. A loss would introduce question marks as to whether they are truly capable of performing under pressure. For Indiana, it would be a bright spot within a very stormy season and perhaps could be what that program may need moving forward. Beyond the numbers, this game defines college football and the competitive spirit that is the Big Ten.

Conclusion

As the Buckeyes and Hoosiers get ready to square off, the game is more than the next notch in their season schedules. It is a clash of tradition, grit, and will-a treat for the fans and players alike. From an Ohio State commanding win to an Indiana upset, this matchup will etch its mark on the 2024 season.

Game Overview

This Saturday, the Ohio State Buckeyes face off against the Northwestern Wildcats in a rather improbable locale: Wrigley Field, the storied home of the Chicago Cubs. Kickoff in this Big Ten tussle is at 12:00 PM EST and airs on the Big Ten Network-the Buckeyes' fourth consecutive noon game this year. The Northwestern Wildcats have their traditional Ryan Field on campus renovated, so they are playing their final home games at Wrigley, which adds an extra layer of special to the matchups for fans.

Northwestern

Team History and Recent Encounters

The Buckeyes and Wildcats represent one of the Big Ten's most lopsided series, with Ohio State leading 65-14-1 all-time. Ohio State had also won ten in a row over Northwestern since 2004, including last year's 21-7 victory on a very windy day in Evanston. For Northwestern, the odds of an upset remain slim, though past games have occasionally delivered surprises.

Key Players to Watch

Ohio State's quarterback, Will Howard, fresh off of a great performance, will be leading the Buckeyes. This season, Howard has impressive stats, having thrown for over 2,200 passing yards and 22 touchdowns in a very efficient, well-decisioned style. In the run game, Ohio State has Quinshon Judkins powering through on the ground with 647 yards rushing, while wide receiver Jeremiah Smith leads this receiving corps in production with 765 yards. Defensively, Sonny Styles anchors Ohio State’s efforts, amassing 42 tackles this season.

For Northwestern, quarterback Jack Lausch faces a challenging matchup against Ohio State’s powerful defense. Although Lausch has managed over 1,100 passing yards this season, Northwestern’s offense has struggled to maintain momentum. Running back Cam Porter and receiver A.J. Henning will need to step up significantly to support Lausch and attempt to match Ohio State’s high-scoring potential.

Game Predictions and Betting Odds

Ohio State comes into this game as the heavy favorite, with a spread of -28.5-a reflection of Ohio State's top-tier consistent performance and dominance that it has been able to exhibit in the Big Ten. The over/under for the game is set at 44 points, likely factoring in the sturdiness of Ohio State's defense, which has only allowed an average of 10.7 points per game. Perhaps the momentum could slightly fall in Northwestern's court as the matchup is held at Wrigley, but Ohio State should still dominate this game.

Phases of the Game: What to Expect

1. Offensive Strategy: Ohio State’s passing game, led by Howard and Smith, will be on full display. If Northwestern’s defense, ranked lower in the Big Ten, cannot apply pressure, Ohio State may reach the end zone quickly. Judkins will likely balance the offense with strategic rushing plays to exploit Northwestern’s weaker rush defense.

2. Defensive Prowess: Ohio State’s defense, which has been stellar against both the run and pass, aims to shut down Northwestern’s offense early. With players like Styles and Tuimoloau leading the charge, the Buckeyes will aim to contain Lausch and force Northwestern into mistakes that could quickly turn the tide.

3. Special Teams Impact: Field position could be crucial, especially in Wrigley Field’s tighter setup. Both teams will look to use special teams to gain any advantage, especially in potentially adverse weather conditions.

NorthwesternMascots

How to Watch and Final Thoughts

The game is on Big Ten Network whereby fans can watch it alive with the game is scheduled to kick off at 12:00 PM (EST). Knowing that Ohio State is chasing a playoff spot itself, it follows every game counts to the national ranking of the team. Northwestern, while in a rebuilding phase, hopes to give their fans something to cheer about in the unique Wrigley Field atmosphere.

With an expected high-scoring affair favoring Ohio State, the game promises exciting plays and another chance for the Buckeyes to solidify their dominance in the Big Ten.

Brutus Buckeye and Boilermaker Pete

Game Preview

Ohio State, riding high after their recent victory, faces a Purdue team that has struggled, losing seven straight games. The Boilermakers have made significant offensive changes, benching quarterback Hudson Card and inserting freshman Ryan Browne.

While the receiving corps of Ohio State is ranked one of the best in the country, the defense of Purdue will certainly be up to the task. Boilermakers’ running game—though not so reliable—may well make Ohio State’s running game’ s’ protection struggle.

Prediction

Who Will Prevail?

Game History

This rivalry with an ever-increasing intensity is bound to take another leap this weekend as the #3 Nittany Lions host the #4 Buckeyes in Happy Valley. The first match occurred in 1912, Pennsylvania triumphed with a score of 37-0. This became one of the most demanding rivalries in college football since it joined the Big Ten Conference in 1993. The Buckeyes lead the all-time series 24-14, winning every game since 2017. This year's matchup pits two powerhouse offenses: Penn State quarterback Drew Allar versus Ohio State quarterback Will Howard, and both are ready to roll. Saturday at noon ET.

PennState

Coaches

On one side, we have Ryan Day, the head coach of Ohio State. Day has been a revelation since his tenure began in 2019 and holds an overall score of sixty wins out of sixty three, but his achievements have not been consistent and he has opened only two wins against the ranked top five teams from total seven played games. On the other side, James Franklin leads Penn State. Franklin has built a strong program in Happy Valley, but he's 1-12 against AP top-five opponents.

Relationships and Rivalry Dynamics

The relationship between these two teams is intense and competitive. This is a big one. Ohio State has owned the series lately but Penn State is always looking to pull the upset. Close games and finishes are the norm so if you’re a college football fan you have to see this.

Players to Watch

From Ohio State look out for TreVeyon Henderson who has been dominant in carrying a significant portion of the Buckeyes’ offense. Drew Allar is Penn State's standout player, assuming he is fit to play. Allar has performed admirably this season, leading the Big Ten in passing yards and touchdowns. If he can't go, backup Beau Pribula has demonstrated his ability to jump in and make an impact.

Outcome Prediction

It appears this game will be a fierce competition with both teams expecting victory. Looking at the last few games played, Ohio State seems to have an advantage, but Penn State's strong season and home-field advantage could tip the scales. Allar returning would boost Penn State’s odds, but a star-studded performance from Ohio State is possible in his absence. In any case, it appears to be an intriguing game with significant ramifications for the Big Ten Championship race.

There is a lot of history behind the rivalry between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Nebraska Cornhuskers dating back to 1912 when the two teams first fought each other. It goes without saying that this rivalry, over time, has produced many more highlights; it has proven to be almost one-sided with Ohio State winning 7 of their last 8 meetings. In fact, Ohio State has specifically had a good streak while playing against Nebraska with the Buckeyes winning 7 times.

Nebraska

Coaches

On one sideline, we have Ohio State's Ryan Day, a coach known for his offensive genius and ability to develop top-tier quarterbacks. On the opposite end of the rather long coaching experience is the lens of Nebraska’s Matt Rhule, a coach that has managed to instill a narrative of success and belonging in the Huskers. Interestingly, Rhule and Day have crossed paths before, both working at Temple.

Players to Watch This Weekend

For Ohio State, keep an eye on Will Howard, the transfer quarterback from Kansas State who has been impressive this season with 19 total touchdowns and a 73.3% completion percentage. Nebraska's standout is Dylan Raiola, the highest-rated true freshman QB in Nebraska history, who has already shown flashes of brilliance with 1,592 passing yards and nine touchdowns.

Game Preview

For a showdown happening this weekend, one can only wait on the edge of the seat. The next game this weekend promises to be interesting. Even though Ohio State has had a rest week and a recent loss to Oregon, Nebraska who has a 56-7 lost to Indiana last week is coming to fight. The outcome is heavily in favor of the Buckeyes in this match but the Huskers are not discouraged in any way and ready to fight.

Outcome Prediction

Given the historical success of Ohio State and the fact they are the host for the game, they will most likely emerge at the top. However, Nebraska's young talent and Rhule's coaching could keep things interesting. In conclusion, anticipate a head-to-head clash in which Ohio State will keep the upper hand and win by 35 to 24.

Final Thoughts

This game is more than just a matchup; it's a test of resilience, strategy, and heart. This is a game that both teams must definitely prove themselves, thus there is a hard-fought match ahead. Whatever side of the Ohio State - Nebraska College football rivalry you are, you are likely not to miss a minute of the matchup.

The Ohio State Buckeyes will meet the Iowa Hawkeyes this weekend for their second Big Ten match for year.

- Date: Saturday, October 5th, 2024
- Time: 3:30 PM Eastern
- Venue: Ohio Stadium, Columbus
- Opponent: Iowa Hawkeyes
- Win Probability: Ohio State Buckeyes 90.5%, Iowa Hawkeyes 9.5%
- Where to Watch: CBS

This game is part of the regular season, Week 6.

The next match, that is coming up this Saturday at the Ohio Stadium that sees Ohio State battling Iowa promises to be an interesting competition - and fans cannot wait with the game set to start at 3:30 PM EST.

OhioStatevsIowa

The Coaches: A Tale of Two Leaders

On the good side, we have head coach Ryan Day, the embodiment of Ohio State's high-octane offense. Day has been critical to maintaining the Buckeyes' dominance in the Big Ten, and his executive leadership is second to none. On the other hand, Kirk Ferentz, the longest-tenured coach in college football, brings a wealth of experience and the skills to produce tightly disciplined teams Both coaches have their own unique styles, and it will be especially interesting to see them coach both philosophies as working.

Key Players to Watch

When Will Howard made an appearance as the quarterback for Ohio State, everyone was aware, most especially the spectators. Buckeye's offensive weapon, Howard’s arm strength is so phenomenal that when paired with his accuracy, it makes him hard to overlook – his talent is a huge asset to the Buckeyes. Another great person to watch this season is Jeremiah Smith, a leading wide receiver with a knack for catches in the air and winning the game alone sometimes.

In order to limit the effectiveness of the attacking style of Ohio State University, much responsibility will fall on the defensive unit of the Hawkeyes, especially in terms of tackling and Nick Jackson. The offense will have to resort to Cade McNamara's big shoes to play a more attacking game in order to compete with the other teams.

Breaking Down the Game

Offense: Ohio State's offense is a well-oiled machine, averaging 40 points per game, with Howard and Smith leading the way. The Buckeyes are expected to to put up big numbers. Iowa’s offense, while not as prolific, is efficient and could score off of mistakes.

Defense: Iowa’s defense is their strong suit, known for being stingy and forcing turnovers. However, Ohio State’s defense, defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau, has been strong and looks to disrupt Iowa’s rhythm.

Special Teams: Both teams have reliable kickers, but Ohio State's special teams unit has been particularly active this season, often giving the Buckeyes an edge in field position.

IowaHawkeyes

Score Prediction

Given Ohio State’s offensive firepower and home field advantage in Columbus, I predict the OSU Buckeyes to win this one 38-17. Iowa may battle early, but the Buckeyes' depth and good talent should help them earn a comfortable victory in the end.

Season So Far

Ohio State is on a roll, still undefeated and looking a bit like any national title contender. Their balanced attack and strong defense made them a formidable opponent. Iowa, meanwhile, has had its ups and downs, showing bright lights but struggling to be consistent.
