Star Ohio State receivers Carnell Tate and Jermiah Smith, both banged up, sat out the game, but on a team loaded with four and five-star talent, the Buckeyes leaned on running back Bo Jackson and tight end Max Klare to move the football and open up the offense.

2+ week, 3+ hour ago (628+ words) The top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes were simply all too much for the Nico Iamaleava-less'UCLA Bruins,'as the defending champs dominated the Bruins, 48-10, in Columbus. UCLA's star signal-caller was ruled out the night before the game with a concussion he suffered during their 28-21 loss to Nebraska last week. Prior to the game, interim coach Tim Skipper said they found out about his status Friday night and he informed redshirt sophomore Luke Duncan he'd be starting. Duncan shook off some early nerves -- delay of game issues -- and finished his first career start tossing 16-for-23 for 154 yards and a touchdown pass to Kwazi Gilmer. Ohio State's defense was dominant, only allowing 68 UCLA rushing yards on 25 carries. Given the situation, you wouldn't expect UCLA to make this a competitive game, but the Bruins showed some promising stints on both sides of the ball. The…...

The'UCLA Bruins'(3-6, 3-3 Big Ten) haven't lost consecutive games since Tim Skipper took over as interim head coach until dropping back-to-back contests to No. 2 Indiana and Nebraska. Quite the feat considering the Bruins started 0-4, but the road ahead only gets tougher. Up next, Skipper and UCLA take on the best team in the nation on the road -- the first-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. The odds may be against them, but that doesn't mean the Bruins aren't preparing like it's any other team. Skipper gave his early thoughts on the Buckeyes during'Monday's media availability.

2+ week, 1+ day ago (454+ words) Ohio State's head coach, Ryan Day is widely regarded as one of the top offensive minds in college football. However, as a head coach, he needs to be well-versed in both offense and defense. This season, though, it seems he's not dedicating much time to the defense. Reporters asked Day on Thursday how much he's spent with the Buckeyes' defense this season. "Not much," Day said, via Eleven Warriors Chase Brown. "Matt (Patricia) and I talk here and there just about philosophically what we're trying to get done, but he's doing a great job. He's really the head coach of the defense, organizes it all, and he's got a great staff with him." Ohio State hired Patricia in the offseason to lead its defense, and so far, he has transformed the Buckeyes into one of the top defensive units in…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago (500+ words) Julian Sayin is living up to all the high expectations and now the world is recognizing his progress. The last game Sayin played before ESPN contributor Bill Connelly produced his monthly quarterback rankings was against Purdue November 8. The sophomore quarterback threw for 303 yards and a touchdown en route to a 34 to 10 victory. These are the kinds of dominant performances that earned Sayin his top spot. The Buckeyes are undefeated nine games into this regular season and the offense doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon. Ohio State fans know exactly why they'd rank Sayin above everyone else. The young star is not only playing winning football this season, but he's not eligible to declare for the NFL draft next season. It's been a fun season for Sayin. He's racked up 2,491 passing yards, 24 total touchdowns, and a 91.1 QBR. This is the…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago (456+ words) Ohio State has been one of the best teams in the country this season, but of course, it is dealing with doubters. Since the Buckeyes defeated Texas in the first week of the season, they've held the No. 1 ranking in the country. However, ESPN football analyst Dan Orlovsky remains skeptical about Ohio State due to the level of competition they've faced. "They're the least tested No. 1 team in the history of college football," Orlovsky said Thursday on ESPN's "Get Up." "They've played nobody. We have no idea how good Ohio State is down by four in the fourth quarter." It's ridiculous to claim that Ohio State hasn't faced any tough competition, especially considering it played against Washington and Illinois, both of which are solid home teams. The Buckeyes took them down on the road, adding to the challenge. The Buckeyes…...

The race for the Heisman Trophy, like the race for the Big Ten, seems to be slipping into what is essentially a two-way race. Ohio State's Julian Sayin had recently been a slight favorite for the award, but he's been slightly bypassed by Indiana's Fernando Mendoza in recent odds.

A new Heisman favorite Latest Heisman odds from FanDuel: Sayin had held a slim lead, but over the week, Mendoza's impressive final drive against…...
