Ohio State will face Indiana again in its Big Ten Championship Game in two weeks. Now we know that it will be a Big Noon game in Bloomington. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

For the first time this season, Ohio State's defense stepped up to play complementary football for a full game. Now, the defense needs to continue to improve with bigger tests on the way. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

I've had a hard time picking this Ohio State-Iowa game this week. However, I gave my prediction and thoughts on what will happen in Iowa City, along with the rest of the Bucknuts staff. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Ohio State and Iowa meet in a top-15 matchup this weekend. I got plenty of great intel on the Hawkeyes and what to expect from this game from @davideickholt.bsky.social. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

010

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Julian Sayin rushed for a career-high 29 yards in Ohio State's win over Illinois after Ryan Day challenged him to use his legs more, and he delivered a couple of big plays. This must continue for the Buckeye offense. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Iowa's Kirk Ferentz compared Jeremiah Smith to Saquon Barkley and Randy Moss. "That's what great players do. If you can find a way to maybe make them a little bit off their rhythm, that's a good thing, but it's easier said than done." 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Ohio State's Homecoming game against Maryland will kick off at 4:15 p.m. ET on the Big Ten Network. That's probably as close to a night game as the Buckeyes are going to get at home. 😕 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ohio State leaned into what works offensively against Illinois, while the defense won't enjoy this week's film. My Report Card from the Buckeyes' first Big Ten win of the season. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

My three thoughts as I left Ohio Stadium following Ohio State's win over Illinois: 🔴 Jeremiah Smith is a cheat code 🔴 The run game is not where it needs to be 🔴 This defense will keep getting better

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

It’s time for Big Ten play at the Shoe.

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

"I haven't ever won over there, right? I made some great games." Illinois' Bret Bielema had plenty to say heading into this week's game at Ohio State. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

It's round 3 of Ohio State and Texas in the last three years. How will it go? I joined the Bucknuts staff to break the game down in our Roundtable this week. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

011

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

The #Buckeyes are hopeful they will have pass rusher Qua Russaw this weekend against Texas after the Alabama transfer missed the season opener. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

With defenses tilting coverage toward Jeremiah Smith, Devin McCuin knows his number's about to be called. Ohio State's No. 2 receiver worked hard for these opportunities and has a big opportunity back home at Texas this weekend. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Ohio State kicks off the new season this week. How will 2026 go? I went game by game, predicting the results and the #Buckeyes' regular-season record. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

You've heard all offseason about Ohio State's tough 2026 schedule. Now the season is here. I spoke with 247Sports writers who cover each of the #Buckeyes' ranked opponents to get insight into each team, players to watch and how the offseason has gone. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Devin Sanchez has his swagger back. "I feel like my old self... Very confident that I can go out here and play with anybody in the country." The sophomore corner is a different player heading into Year 2 at Ohio State. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

010

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

The #Buckeyes will need some newer names to join their established stars to reach their goals this season. I looked at some potential breakout candidates for Ohio State coming out of the preseason. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Ohio State hoped to have the starting offensive line figured out by last week, but preseason plans often don't go as planned. That doesn't mean the #Buckeyes aren't making progress in finding their "best five." 247sports.com/college/ohio...

010

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Qua Russaw thought Ohio State only played 6-6, 6-7 defensive ends. Then he learned what Matt Patricia actually had planned for him. Now he's ready to serve an important role for the #Buckeyes in 2026. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

It was a big day at the WHAC for Ohio State's first scrimmage of fall camp. Here is what we're hearing about how things went on Saturday. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Ryan Day's quarterback factory isn't slowing down production. Ohio State added another elite talent to the long line of top QBs for the #Buckeyes after Christopher Vargas' commitment. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

010

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Eddrick Houston was the MVP of Ohio State's third fall camp practice in my eyes. Freshmen who could contribute early are starting to emerge. I dive into my most noteworthy observations from today at the WAHC. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Ryan Day, Billy Fessler and the #Buckeyes land their 2028 quarterback in Christopher Vargas. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

010

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Maybe we should have listened to Ryan Day when he said that Ohio State would try different combinations on the offensive line. I picked out this and a couple of other noteworthy things to dive into from the #Buckeyes' second fall camp practice today. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

010

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Did Ohio State's offensive line picture get clearer today? Could we be seeing unexpected starters on either side of the ball? I broke down the three most notable things I saw at the #Buckeyes' first fall camp practice of 2026. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Ryan Day on Julian Sayin entering Year 2 as the starter: "When you look in his eye now, you see a different person, a different body... I think he's poised for a great season." The Ohio State quarterback has put in the work to be even better in 2026. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

020

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I joined the rest of the @Bucknuts247 staff in looking ahead to Ohio State’s fall camp. What we will be looking for, who will surprise and a bold prediction are among the topics we hit on. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Ohio State will enter the 2026 season as the No. 1 team in the Coaches Poll. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Big Ten Media Days was a great time to talk to people about the 2026 season. Not just Ohio State's reps, but people across the conference. Here are three things I know and three things I think after three days in Chicago. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Can Ohio State go 12-0 again in the regular season given how tough the schedule is this year? Based on FPI, we have predictions for every game for the #Buckeyes. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

More on Max Arfsten's move to Middlesbrough and how #Crew96 will fill his position.

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

After four successful seasons with #Crew96, Max Arfsten is headed to Middlesbrough for a fee of up to $7.5 million. @tombogert.bsky.social with the initial reporting. massive-report.com/2026/07/31/c...

Ohio State has agreed to a landmark jersey patch sponsorship deal with Chase Bank. This deal is reportedly worth nearly $17 million, more than some of the NBA jersey patch deals. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

New faces and an unfamiliar place in the Eastern Conference may have changed the look of the Hell Is Real Derby, but it hasn't changed the importance for #Crew96. "We are ready for this... Tomorrow is going to be very important. We need points." massive-report.com/2026/07/25/h...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Jaylen McClain is one of a few defensive starters back for the #Buckeyes. So we will have plenty to ask him about at Big Ten Media Days next week. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

No five-star prospect is a guarantee. However, running back may be one of the most unpredictable. The #Buckeyes are disappointed to miss on David Gabriel Georges, but I looked back at why this isn't the end of the world for Ohio State. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

010

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Ohio State enters 2026 with the most experienced offensive line in the country. But last year's postseason still lingers. Why should it be different this year as the #Buckeyes look for elite offensive play? 247sports.com/college/ohio...

010

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Ohio State lost 14 defensive scholarship players to the transfer portal in January. Where did they go and how have they done in their first offseason with their new programs? 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

After testing the NBA waters, John Mobley Jr. learned that his "heart was always at Ohio State" and where he needs to improve to get to the next level and help the #Buckeyes build on last year's NCAA Tournament return. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

There are still three days before MLS's summer transfer window opens, yet #Crew96 has been busy. I looked at what's happened, why those moves have been made and what's next for the Black & Gold, who aren't done "refreshing" the roster. massive-report.com/2026/07/10/i...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Ohio State got some good news today and I had some thoughts on LJ Smith deciding to reclassify.

020

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

The #Buckeyes know what a talent LJ Smith is, but now everyone else will get to see it sooner after his reclassification. I look at the impact of Smith's decision for the player and Ohio State. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

010

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Big news for Ohio State, as guard LJ Smith will reclassify from the 2027 class to 2026 and enroll ahead of next season. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Tim Walton gets his first commitment of the 2027 class, as Ohio State lands a commitment from in-state cornerback Deontay Malone. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

I got a chance to sit down with #Crew96 GM Issa Tall again for a wide-ranging conversation, including summer moves, Tim Bezbatchenko returning, mistakes made, MLS’s rules and much more. Enjoy. massivereportpodcast.podbean.com/e/ep-547/

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

The #Buckeyes have had six Alabama transfers in the last two portal cycles. Two unanimous All-Americans. A Heisman finalist. A national title. More success on the way this year? A pipeline is former from Alabama to Ohio State. 247sports.com/college/ohio...

000

Patrick Murphy @patrickmurphy.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Ohio State needs eight new starters on defense. Who will they be? I predict the #Buckeyes' Week 1 starters heading into the summer. 247sports.com/college/ohio...
