“Like we said in practice, man, it was gonna be a fourth-quarter battle.” My goodness…Luke Fahey won the QB2 job all the way back in high school.
This is exactly the kind of kid you want leading your team - a true leader. At the high school level, most kids wait for the coaches to come in after a game and give that speech. Real leaders take the wheel. I’m getting JT Barrett-type leadership from this kid.

Ryan Day on Luke Fahey and what he brings to the table for Ohio State. At every turn since the Fahey began to really assert himself into the backup QB spot in camp, he has been praised for his work ethic. Day also said Fahey has moxie.

Ryan Day was asked about the way Jeremiah Smith is being officiated. Day said they submit plays to the conference, and while there is acknowledgement of missed calls, it’s “a day late and a dollar short.” “Hope isn’t a strategy, but I’m hopeful things will change,” he said.

Ryan Day said that with the bye week, Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair will both be getting reps, and they’ll ultimately play whichever one gives Ohio State the best chance to win moving forward.

Ryan Day said Julian Sayin will out be out indefinitely, and they’re putting a plan together to move forward as if he’s not gonna be available again for Ohio State. Out of respect for Sayin and his family, Day said they’re not gonna put a specific timeline on anything.

Thad Matta will be honored at halftime of Sunday’s exhibition between Ohio State and Butler at the Schott. Diebler said the idea to do something spawned out of a convo with his brother, Jon, who’s an assistant on the Butler staff. Diebler on what Matta means to the program:

Good stuff here from Jake Diebler on the value of having former Buckeyes Jared Sullinger and William Buford on the staff and practicing with the team. Diebler said both have a “tremendous approach to mentorship” as they begin their coaching careers, and it was a no-brainer add.

Jake Diebler will be coaching against his brother, Jon, on Sunday when Butler plays Ohio State in an exhibition. Diebler said it will be a special moment to have his brother back in the building, given the career he had as a Buckeye, as well as the family aspect.

At the Schott to catch the tail end of Ohio State’s practice before heading to the Woody for football availability. (William Buford can still shoot it 👀)

Been quite some time since I entered a Celtics season with no idea what expectations should be, but it doesn't change the level of excitement. Basketball is back.

This is the kind of Saturday that makes college football the greatest sport in the world. Pure cinema.

Luke Fahey is going to be going home to SoCal to make the first start of his career as an Ohio State Buckeye. Can’t even imagine what these next two weeks are about to be like for him.

I am in utter shock right now as to watch I just saw. Also, that is the worst piece of broadcasting I have ever seen by a sports network. Good on ya, FOX.

For all you Ohio State collectors out there, I saw an email yesterday from @BobbleheadHall about this Jeremiah Smith release. These are pretty dang cool, especially the Iowa Heisman pose, although the first one is truer to the trophy. $125 for all, $45 each. Ships in April.

Onward and upward for college football.
Sources: The College Football Playoff is nearing a deal to expand to 24 teams, per sources. The new format will start in 2027 and is expected to come together in the near future, pending final approvals.

Ouch. Ohio State will be without Ja’Kobi Jackson on Saturday, and Isaiah West is listed as questionable. Bo Jackson legacy game?

Ohio State CB Devin Sanchez was asked about the DPI calls he’s been called for this year. He didn’t mince words about his thoughts on the “ticky tacky” calls. “It’s just me playing with a chip of my shoulder and knowing I gotta go out and play the opposing teams and the refs.”

Carson Hinzman never fails to deliver a laugh or two. Asked when he found out Gabe VanSickle was starting at tackle for Ohio State, Hinzman said it was when they were running out. Be sure to stay for the way Hinzman compared GVS to an “unfinished” piece of Italian art…
