Bosa and the Buckeye defense held Maryland to 66 rushing yards. Another week and another opponent's stats get sacked. We all know that Ohio State defeated Maryland 52-24 in College Park Saturday, but the Buckeyes dominated the stat sheet as well. It's always interesting to see...

THE RUNNING START TV: Saturday, 12:00 ABC Regional 1967 was the last time Ohio State lost a home opener against an unranked opponent. I believe there would be very few readers of Eleven Warriors that attended that attended the 7-14. The Buckeyes finished 6-3, but defeated That Team 24-14 i...

The second week of the season and playoff aspirations evaporate. Have your expectations for the 2014 season changed? It is early in the season and stats can be deceiving, especially when Virginia Tech's only game of the season was against William & Mary. However, it is still interestin...
