Ohio State Football Is Steeped In Tradition

Go Ohio State Buckeyes!

The commercial 'Go Buckeyes' really cracks me up. Do you remember it? It's the one where a couple is introducing themselves to each other while the woman is driving. Suddenly it becomes clear that they're actually out on a blind date. The guy ends up jumping out of her car because she is chanting one of Ohio State's rival team's slogan. He not only jumps out of the moving car, but he screams back 'GO BUCKEYES' as loud as he can.

You may wonder why all the fuss over football. Well, it's way more than just football, it's pride and tradition. The Buckeyes have now been a part of the football world for a whopping 25 years. They take great pride in representing Ohio State University and competing in the Subdivision of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl. Their first season ever goes all the way back to 1890. All total they've won 7 national championships with 10 undefeated seasons as well as 36 Conference Championships. In 1942 they won their first ever national championship under the leadership of coach Paul Brown.

With such a rich history and tons of tradition tied into the Ohio State football team, it's no wonder why people get Buckeye fever during football season.

Talking About Ohio State 2014 Walk Ons

Approaching the conclusion of the 2013 season, Ohio State competed against FBS schools with just 55 scholarship players. That is 30 fewer than what is allotted to major college program schools. On a travel roster 70 players are included. This shows the Ohio State roster could not have been filled with scholarship players and when they played Florida A&M shockingly the Rattlers actually in terms of scholarships had more resources.

Many questioned why head coach, Urban Meyer was so aggressive on having depth and bodies. He displayed no discrimination in terms of NCAA sanctions, injuries, redshirts and transfers.

Because of violations committed when Jim Tressel was in charge, there is for Ohio State a limitation of 3 scholarships to 82 for another extra season. To help prevent the roster from stockpiling Meyer is refusing to over sign. Thus, when over a four year period a transfer of 24 players was done, in terms of depth for the Buckeyes there was little left. There are 93 players on the entire roster including Ohio State walk-ons. 45 are underclassmen and 67 have scholarships.

A free pass should not be afforded by coaches on a roster so thin. In 2013, a group campaigning locally opposed to redshirting forced the decision to sit 19 players.Coach Meyer vowed not to let this happen again. Seven walk ons will take part in spring drills and in August another 16 will join the team. Ohio State in spring practice will have 67 scholarship players participating and in August that number grows to 82.

Braxton Miller has undergone shoulder surgery. At quarterback there will be a good competition going on. The starter Cardale Jones is not being looked on as the long term solution. The first quarterback signed by Coach Tom Herman was J.T. Barret and the expected idea is for him to spend a year as the understudy to Miller and eventually front a Meyer-Herman offensive. 

The other good news is that running back is shaping up a deep position which works out well when replacing a 1500 yard runner.

Ohio State Buckeye Roster Thin Entering 2014 Spring Practice

When the 2013 season was coming to an end, Ohio State played with just 55 scholarship players against FBS schools. This is 30 less than what is allotted to major college football programs, and 8 less than FCS schools. 70 players are included in a travel roster. The Buckeye's roster could not be filled with scholarship players. Additionally, last season when Ohio State met Florida A & M, the Rattlers unbelievably had more resources in terms of scholarships. 

Some may wonder why Urban Meyer, the head coach, was so aggressive on having bodies and depth. Attrition appeared in all forms as there was no discrimination in terms of transfers, NCAA sanctions, red-shirts and injuries. 

For another extra season, there is a limitation of 3 scholarships to 82 for Ohio State due to the violations done when Jim Tressel was in charge. Meyer is refusing to over sign in order to prevent the roster from stockpiling. Thus, when a transfer of 24 players was done over a period of four years, there was little left for the Buckeyes in terms of depth. the entire roster is made up of 93 players, including walk-ons. 67 of them have scholarships while 45 are underclassmen. 

Coaches should not be afforded a free pass on such a thin roster. A certain group that was vocally campaigning against red-shirting decided in 2013 to sit 19 players. Meyer swore never to let that happen again. Seven of Ohio State walk-ons will participate in spring drills, while an additional 16 will join the team in August. The Buckeyes will thus consist of 67 scholarship players taking part in spring practice. In August, the squad grows to 82 though at the moment it looks like they are over the limit by one. For Meyer however, thinning down the roster is better than filling gaps with inexperienced players. 

Braxton Miller has just undergone surgery on his shoulder. The good news is that the quarterback position is rather intriguing. The departure of Kenny Guiton means there will be competition to fill the position. Cardale Jones will start in the position for the first day but is not expected to last long. J.T. Barret was the first quarterback to be signed by Coach Tom Herman. Conventional wisdom points to the fact that the Buckeyes will want him to spend a year as Miller's understudy. The Wichita Falls native has all the skills needed to front a Meyer-Herman offensive. 

The running back is among the deepest positions for the team. This is a welcome thing given that Ohio State must find a replacement for a 1500-yard runner. The Buckeyes have for the last two seasons been fortunate to have substitute tailback when some running needs to be done.

Breaking News About Marcus Baugh Ohio State Football Freshman

English: Ohio State Buckeyes in 2006 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Ohio State Football Player Marcus Baugh is alleged to have been cited for underage drinking this past weekend near the campus in Columbus.

Marcus Baugh a young Ohio State freshman tight-end, has allegedly been caught drinking underage once again. Just six months ago the receiving freshman consumed alcohol underage and today he is facing a second suspension for the same offense. Fans had hoped he learned a lesson after the first incident.

Last Friday on West 5th Avenue, near Dennison, Baugh was cited for drinking underage. Baugh is scheduled to appear at Franklin County Municipal Court on Monday. He could be facing a maximum jail sentence of six months and a maximum fine of $1,000.

Marcus Baugh was red-shirted last year and Baugh was a four star recruit from Riverside, California.

Baugh was cited for possession of false identification and underage drinking in July, he was then suspended for the Ohio State Football seasons opening game.

Certain sources stated that Baugh had learned his lesson and worked his way back into the good books. However, Friday's arrest leads many fans to arrive at a different conclusion. A source from the OSU feels that Baugh is unlikely to face another suspension. But a second citation could mean that Baugh loses out on two important Ohio State Football matches.

Rashod Berry Becomes a Member of the 2015 OSU Class

The 19th member of Ohio State’s 2015 class committed today, Rashod Berry of Lorain Catholic. Berry received an offer yesterday and did not take long to make up his mind. He’s a three star defensive end ranked 65th nationally by Scout.com. 6’4” and 235 lbs. He joins Jashon Cornell and Dre’Mont Johns are DEs in the class.
Berry met with Urban Meyer during the bye week and impressed the coaches that were on hand at a practice. He didn’t receive an offer right away from his film but the in-person appearance made a difference. He also had offers from Akron, Iowa, Bowling Green, Indiana, Illinois, and Kent State to name a few. His leaders before make a decision were Ohio State, Michigan State, and Iowa.
