<p>Hold onto your scarlet and gray, Buckeye Nation, because the news just hit like a J.T. Barrett option run: Chip Kelly is our new offensive coordinator! Forget <a href="https://larrybrownsports.com/college-football/bill-obrien-leaves-ohio-state-boston-college-head-coach/628382" target="_blank">Bill O'Brien's brief stint</a> in Columbus, this is the ultimate plot twist no one saw coming.</p><p><a href="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-Buckeye-Up-Chip-Ahoy-Kelly-Takes-Over-Of_13B12-ChipKelly_2.jpg"><img width="644" height="431" title="ChipKelly" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="ChipKelly" src="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-Buckeye-Up-Chip-Ahoy-Kelly-Takes-Over-Of_13B12-ChipKelly_thumb.jpg" border="0"></a></p> <p>That's right, folks, the innovative, fast-paced mind that led Oregon to a national title game and Philadelphia to unexpected heights is now calling plays in the Horseshoe. Kelly traded in the sunshine of Westwood for the roar of the Shoe, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/sources-chip-kelly-resigning-from-ucla/ar-BB1i312s" target="_blank">leaving UCLA after six seasons</a> to take over the Buckeye offense.</p> <p>Now, let's be honest, this move raises eyebrows as high as a Brutus Buckeye statue. Kelly, a head coach for years, is taking a "step back" to become an assistant? And in the same conference as his former team? </p> <p>But here's the thing, Buckeye Nation: never underestimate Chip Kelly's ambition. This guy wasn't just itching to escape UCLA (though, let's face it, that program ain't exactly sunshine and rainbows these days). He saw an opportunity to dominate in a program with championship aspirations and a quarterback like <a href="https://brutusreport.com/articles/latest/latest-articles-detail/articleid/3256/buckle-up-buckeyes-because-will-howard-just-strapped-himself-into-the-scarlet-and-grey-rocket-ship" target="_blank">Will Howard</a> who could thrive in his system.</p> <p>Remember the shredding spread offense that turned Marcus Mariota into a Heisman winner? Imagine that firepower unleashed with Howard slinging lasers and <a href="https://brutusreport.com/articles/latest/latest-articles-detail/articleid/3044/five-star-running-back-treveyon-henderson-from-hopewell-virginia-1" target="_blank">TreVeyon Henderson</a> taking screens to the house. The Big Ten might need to invest in some wider fields, because Kelly's offense ain't slowing down anytime soon.</p> <p>Sure, there are questions. Will Kelly mesh with Ryan Day's vision? Can he adapt his system to college athletes after years in the pros? But one thing's for sure: this is a gamble that could pay off BIG for the Buckeyes.</p> <p>So buckle up, Buckeye Nation, because the Chip Kelly era in Columbus is about to begin. Get ready for some wild plays, unexpected wrinkles, and maybe even a sprinkle of that signature Kelly swagger. Just remember, one thing's certain: things are about to get a whole lot more exciting in Columbus.</p> <iframe width="659" height="371" title="What hiring Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator means for Buckeyes | Ohio State football" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D1nGymatIfs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share"></iframe> <h3>What hiring Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator means for Buckeyes | Ohio State football</h3>

<p>Hold your Sooners, Norman. Four-star tight end phenom Nate Roberts, the apple of everyone's eye in the 2025 cycle, ain't budging anytime soon. Sure, that crimson and cream might look mighty fine under the Friday night lights, but this Oklahoma native's playing his cards close to the vest.</p><p><a href="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-8c2cc83921ad_12267-NateRoberts_2.jpg"><img width="644" height="425" title="NateRoberts" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="NateRoberts" src="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-8c2cc83921ad_12267-NateRoberts_thumb.jpg" border="0"></a></p> <p>After a brief fling with Notre Dame over the summer, <a href="https://escoutroom.com/eScoutRoom/Articles/Articles-Detail/ArticleId/3249/Nate-Roberts-Journey-to-Becoming-a-Key-Player-in-Ohio-States-Tight-End-Renaissance" target="_blank">Roberts</a> pulled the plug on the Fighting Irish and started hanging out with some familiar faces – Sooner commits <a href="https://247sports.com/player/kevin-sperry-46131926/" target="_blank">Kevin Sperry</a> and <a href="https://247sports.com/player/elijah-thomas-46135814/" target="_blank">Elijah Thomas</a>. Seems like these three amigos are already building something special, and the Buckeyes are taking notice.</p> <p><a href="https://brutusreport.com/articles/latest/latest-articles-detail/articleid/2960/ryan-days-2019-ohio-state-football-staff" target="_blank">Coach Day</a> and his crew have got Roberts at the top of their tight end wish list, and for good reason. </p> <h2>Background on Nate Roberts</h2> <p>This four-star prospect from Oklahoma is not only making waves on the football field but also excelling in baseball.</p> <p>Speaking of winning, Roberts torched defenses for 33 catches, 705 yards, and 11 touchdowns as a sophomore. That's a stat line that would make Brutus Buckeye himself do a jig. And get this, the kid played snaps on both sides of the ball: tight end, defensive end, even quarterback! Versatility? Check.</p> <h2>Recruiting Time Line</h2> <p>And the best part? He's in no rush. Roberts says he's taking his time, weighing his options, and soaking it all in. That's smart, kid. This is a big decision, and he wants to get it right.</p> <p>So, Buckeye Nation, hold onto your scarlet and gray pom-poms. The Nate Roberts sweepstakes are still wide open, and there's plenty of game left to play. But remember, when it comes to this Oklahoma-turned-Ohio hopeful, patience is key. And if we play our cards right, Columbus might just end up being the Land of Roberts after all.</p> <h3>**Buckeye Bites:**</h3> <p>* Roberts says he's impressed by OSU's tight end development under Coach Alford.<br> * He recently visited Penn State, Ohio State, and Oklahoma, with the Buckeyes making a strong impression.<br> * Watch out for another potential visit to Columbus during the spring evaluation period.</p> <p>Stay tuned, Buckeye fans, this recruiting saga is just getting started!</p> <p>**#GoBucks #TightEndU #TheWaitIsOn**</p>

<p>Holy cow, Buckeye Nation! Just as the confetti settled on Michigan's national championship win, Quinshon Judkins dropped a bombshell on <a title="Quinshon Judkins" href="https://twitter.com/qaj4_">social media</a> – he's coming to Columbus! Quinshon Judkins, the SEC's most electrifying running back since Bo Jackson, just dropped a bombshell on the college football world – he's trading the powder blue for scarlet and gray!</p><br /><p><img src="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/images/QuinshonJudkins.jpg" alt="Quinshon Judkins" width="400" height="225" /></p><br /><h2>Quinshon Judkins</h2><br /><p>Hold onto your helmets, because this ain't no ordinary transfer. Sure, Judkins has two years of eligibility left, but don't be surprised if he sets the Horseshoe on fire and bolts for the NFL after just one season. This is a talent unlike any we've seen in Columbus since Archie Griffin, and <a title="Coach Ryan Day" href="https://brutusreport.com/articles/latest/latest-articles-detail/articleid/2960/ryan-days-2019-ohio-state-football-staff">Coach Day</a> knows how to unleash that kind of fire.</p><br /><h2>Michigan Takes the National Championship</h2><br /><p>Some might say this move stings a little after Michigan hoisted the trophy. But let's be honest, who wouldn't want to wear the scarlet and gray with those Wolverines strutting around like top dogs? Judkins knows what's up, and he's coming to Columbus to help reclaim what's rightfully ours.</p><br /><p>And get this: he's already got connections in the locker room. Buckeye wideout Brandon Inniss and defensive end Kenyatta Jackson Jr. were practically giddy online after Judkins dropped his social media hint. Looks like the chemistry is already brewing!</p><br /><h2>Peach Bowl 2024</h2><br /><p>This ain't no ordinary transfer, friends. Judkins ain't just any back. He's a bona fide SEC stud, the reason Penn State tasted defeat in the Peach Bowl. Remember that 200-yard, two-touchdown performance that ripped the Nittany Lions' hearts out? Yeah, that was Judkins. And get this - next season, he'll be lining up across from those same heartbroken Lions in Big Ten play! Talk about poetic justice, huh?</p><br /><p>So, Nittany Lions, prepare yourselves for round two, because Judkins is back and this time he's wearing Brutus on his chest. The Big Ten just got a whole lot more exciting, and the Horseshoe is about to erupt! Get ready for Judkinsmania, Columbus, this is gonna be one wild ride!</p><br /><h2>Conclusion</h2><br /><p>Sure, some folks might grumble about Judkins being the third Rebel in two years to hop the fence to Columbus. But hey, what's wrong with stacking the deck with talent? Especially when that talent can outrun a cheetah and leave defenders grasping at air? This is a win for the Buckeyes, a nightmare for Big Ten defenses, and a potential championship parade starter. So buckle up, Buckeye Nation, the Judkins era is about to kick off in Columbus, and it's gonna be a wild ride!</p><br /><p>P.S. Don't forget to follow Judkins on social media. The kid's got swagger, and his tweets are a goldmine of Buckeye love. Welcome to the family, Quinshon! We're pumped to have you!</p>

<p>In the high-stakes landscape of college football, where the playoff spots are hotly contested, rivalry weekend emerges as the ultimate battleground. As we brace ourselves for the clash between the unbeaten and the one-loss titans, one matchup stands out among the rest—the showdown between bitter foes, the <a href="https://brutusreport.com/" target="_blank">Ohio State Buckeyes</a> and the Michigan Wolverines.</p><p><a href="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-c74dbd862c3a_B74D-OhioStatevsMichigan_2.jpg"><img width="484" height="484" title="OhioStatevsMichigan" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="OhioStatevsMichigan" src="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-c74dbd862c3a_B74D-OhioStatevsMichigan_thumb.jpg" border="0"></a></p> <p>For those who bleed scarlet and gray, "The Game" isn't just a contest; it's a sacred tradition, a spectacle that transcends the realm of <a href="https://athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-top-25-rivalries-college-football-history-2015" target="_blank">college football rivalries</a>. The animosity between Ohio State and Michigan is legendary, reaching a fever pitch in recent times with accusations and whispers echoing through the hallowed halls of both programs.</p> <h2>Michigan Defense</h2> <p>The Wolverines boast an outstanding defense, a formidable barrier standing tall at all three levels. With <a href="https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/prospects/" target="_blank">future NFL draft</a> picks dotting their roster, Michigan ranks among the elite in defensive metrics—second in points per drive, first in success rate, and fifth in havoc rate. They've held opponents at bay, with no team managing to breach the 24-point mark this season, until Maryland broke the streak in Week 12.</p> <h2>Ohio State Offense</h2> <p>Enter Ohio State's powerhouse offense, spearheaded by the talented <a href="https://brutusreport.com/articles/latest/latest-articles-detail/articleid/2976/buckeyes-snap-up-kyle-mccord" target="_blank">Kyle McCord</a>. Stepping into the cauldron of "The Game," McCord faces a monumental challenge against a defense that has silenced even the most potent adversaries. The Wolverines, with their impressive defensive record, have not faced an offensive juggernaut of Ohio State's caliber this season. The clash promises fireworks, as the Buckeyes aim to break through the defensive fortress that has stifled many before them.</p> <p>Reflecting on McCord's performance in the electrifying atmosphere of "The Game," we recall a similar scenario in Week 4 at Notre Dame. In that crucible, Ohio State scored 17 points, providing a glimpse of McCord's mettle under pressure. However, subsequent matchups against Penn State and Wisconsin saw the Buckeyes tallying 20 and 24 points, respectively. The looming question now is whether Ohio State's game plan, focused on safeguarding McCord through strategic running and calculated throws, will prove effective against Michigan's defensive juggernaut.</p> <p>As the Buckeyes prepare to unleash their potent offense against Michigan's defensive, the stage is set for a showdown of epic proportions. Will Ohio State break through the Wolverine's defensive ranks, or will Michigan stand tall and secure a pivotal victory? Rivalry weekend promises answers, and as the anticipation builds, fans brace themselves for a spectacle that transcends the game itself – a battle where emotions, strategy, and history collide on the hallowed grounds of college football.</p>

<p>In the heart of Columbus, Ohio, the stage is set for a monumental face-off as the No. 1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) gear up to host the Michigan State Spartans (3-6, 1-5 Big Ten) on Saturday, November 11 at the iconic Ohio Stadium. The anticipation is electric, and you can catch all the live action on NBC Sports' B1G Saturday Night, kicking off at 7:00 p.m. ET.</p><p><a href="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-0847b319b160_132E1-OhioStateMichiganState_2.jpg"><img width="484" height="484" title="OhioStateMichiganState" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="OhioStateMichiganState" src="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-0847b319b160_132E1-OhioStateMichiganState_thumb.jpg" border="0"></a></p> <h2>Pursuit of a National Championship</h2><p>As the autumn leaves paint the landscape, the Buckeyes stand undefeated, driven by the dream of clinching the College Football Playoff and securing their first National Championship under the guidance of <a href="https://brutusreport.com/articles/latest/latest-articles-detail/articleid/3091/ryan-day-announces-2021-coaching-team-changes-at-ohio-state-1" target="_blank">head coach Ryan Day</a>. The stakes couldn't be higher, with just two games standing between them and a colossal showdown with arch-rivals Michigan.</p> <p>Ohio State's journey this season has been nothing short of spectacular. The Buckeyes, known for their knack for slow starts, are hungry for an explosive kickoff against a resilient Michigan State squad.</p> <h2>Treveyon Henderson</h2><p>In the past fortnight, <a href="https://twitter.com/TreVeyonH4?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank">the dynamic Henderson</a> has been nothing short of a force of nature, amassing impressive rushing yards of 162 and 128 in consecutive games. The entire team, from hard-hitting running backs to nimble receivers, has rallied, contributing 204 and 143 rushing yards in their last two outings. This surge in the run game has injected a newfound vitality into the Buckeye offense, providing the much-needed boost.</p> <h2>Two Quarterback Spartans</h2><p>Across the line of scrimmage, the Spartans are prepared to unveil their two-quarterback strategy, a tactical move that paid off in their recent triumph over Nebraska. The question looms large: how will the true freshman sensation, Sam Leavitt, be utilized in the coming battles, and what impact will this decision have on his promising future?</p> <p>The history books reveal a compelling narrative of the Spartans' prowess against Ohio State. With 15 victories under their belt, Michigan State's triumphs include five instances where they conquered the Buckeyes when they were perched in the top five national rankings. The memories of astonishing upsets in Columbus, notably the dethroning of No. 1 Ohio State in 1998 and overpowering the star-studded No. 2 Buckeyes in 2015, still echo through the ages. All this, mind you, while the Spartans were missing their starting quarterback, Connor Cook.</p> <p>As the clock ticks down to kick-off, the air is charged with anticipation. Two powerhouse teams, each with their own dreams and legacies, will collide on the hallowed grounds of Ohio Stadium. The echoes of history and the promise of a bright future make this showdown a spectacle for the ages. This is more than just a game; it's a testament to the indomitable spirit of college football.</p>

The game is set to take place at Camp Randall Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.<p><a href="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-Ohio-State-vs-Wisconsin-2023_13B45-Luke_Fickell_2.png"><img width="244" height="244" title="Luke Fickell" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="Luke Fickell" src="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-Ohio-State-vs-Wisconsin-2023_13B45-Luke_Fickell_thumb.png" border="0"></a><h4>The Teams</h4><p>The <strong>No. 3 Buckeyes</strong> are heading back out on the road after a triumphant 20-12 victory over No. 7 Penn State.

A native of Columbus and a former Buckeye himself, Fickell’s appointment as the coach of Wisconsin in November 2022 marked a significant turn in his career.<h4>Key Players</h4><p>The Buckeyes are expecting the return of their injured playmakers - running back <strong>TreVeyon Henderson</strong>, wide receiver <strong>Emeka Egbuka</strong>, and cornerback <strong>Denzel Burke</strong>.

<p>As the clock ticks down to kickoff, all eyes in Columbus, Ohio are locked on <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football-keys-will-ohio-states-run-of-sluggish-starts-continue-against-penn-state-234434725.html" target="_blank">the monumental showdown</a> between the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 7 Penn State Nittany Lions this Saturday. This showdown promises to be a pivotal moment in shaping the College Football Playoff landscape, and fans are brimming with anticipation. According to several sources, Ohio State is favored to win the game against Penn State this weekend. The Buckeyes have a 94% chance of winning according to <a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/ncaa-football-picks/ohio-state-vs-penn-state-game-score-prediction-college-football-model" target="_blank">FPI</a>. The spread is Ohio State -19.5 and the total is 50.5 points. </p><p><a href="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-Ohio-State-Buckeyes-Face-Off-Against-Pen_FDDD-Lebron4GraffitiFootball_2.jpg"><img width="388" height="484" title="Lebron4GraffitiFootball" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" alt="Lebron4GraffitiFootball" src="https://brutusreport.com/Portals/0/DNNArticle/Files/1405/WLWimages/Open-Live-Writer-Ohio-State-Buckeyes-Face-Off-Against-Pen_FDDD-Lebron4GraffitiFootball_thumb.jpg" border="0"></a></p> <p>Set for a high-noon ET kickoff, the atmosphere at Ohio State's home ground is bound to be electric. The dynamic trio of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gus_Johnson_(sportscaster)" target="_blank">Gus Johnson</a> on play-by-play, <a href="https://www.foxsports.com/presspass/bios/on-air/joel-klatt/" target="_blank">Joel Klatt</a> providing expert analysis, and Jenny Taft reporting from the sidelines will be your guides through the heart-pounding action. For those unable to witness the spectacle live, fear not, as the game will be available for streaming on Fox Sports and various online platforms.</p> <p>Both teams have displayed formidable prowess en route to this epic encounter. Ohio State's lone moment of trepidation came in their road faceoff against <a href="https://brutusreport.com/articles/latest/latest-articles-detail/articleid/3232/clash-of-titans-notre-dame-vs-ohio-state-a-battle-for-supremacy" target="_blank">Notre Dame</a>, where a last-second touchdown was the beacon of salvation in South Bend. In all other contests, the Buckeyes have dominated, boasting an average margin of victory of 31 points per game. Penn State is currently 6-0 and ranked No. 7 in the AP poll. </p> <h2>History of Penn State vs Top 5 Teams</h2><p>Penn State, on the other hand, carries the weight of an eight-game losing streak against top-5 adversaries since their triumphant upset of No. 2 Ohio State back in 2016. It was Penn State's first win over a top-5 team since 1999 and their first win over a ranked team under <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Franklin_(American_football_coach)" target="_blank">coach James Franklin</a>. It was also the game that sparked Penn State's run to the Big Ten title that year.</p> <h2>Lebron 4 Graffiti Cleat</h2><p>In an extraordinary display of support, basketball icon LeBron James has bestowed custom cleats upon the Ohio State football squad ahead of this monumental Big Ten showdown against Penn State. This gesture, a testament to the unifying power of sports, is sure to inspire the Buckeyes as they step onto the gridiron.The <a href="https://sneakernews.com/2023/10/19/nike-lebron-4-graffiti-ohio-state-buckeyes-pe-cleats/" target="_blank">Lebron 4 Graffiti Cleat</a> is a special edition of the Nike Lebron 4 basketball shoe that was made for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team. It features a white Foamposite upper with black accents and red details, as well as graffiti elements that celebrate Ohio and the Buckeyes. </p> <p>Week 8 of college football promises an abundance of thrills and, perhaps, one pivotal play or drive that could define the outcome. The Buckeyes fervently hope they're the architects of that game-changing moment, while a legion of Penn State defenders is equally determined to ensure that fate has a different script in mind.</p> <h2>Big Recruiting Weekend</h2><p>A watchful audience of future gridiron stars will grace the Ohio State sidelines, eagerly absorbing the intensity and grandeur of this Penn State clash. The impact of this game transcends the field; it's a stage where legends are born and legacies are cemented. </p> <p>The excitement doesn't end on the field; the Penn State game is set to be a recruiting spectacle. The Ohio State sidelines will be teeming with prospective talent, eager to witness this colossal clash of titans.</p>
