2028 five-star in-state defensive lineman Jameer Whyce commits to the Buckeyes.
If the football gods said to me "Ohio State will lose one game this year, you pick it." This is the game I would chose. One reason is because it is early and breaking in a new QB would be a somewhat justifiable reason to lose and time to recover a good season. The other is I can't hate on Navy. These kids are in service of our country with honor in their hearts and since this will end their athletic careers, a victory this big will stay with them a lifetime. That said it doesn't approach my loyalty to my buckeyes so I probably would tell them to stick it. I want a 17-24 point victory. No more, no less.
