Joe Burrow was a full participant on Wednesday. He may be shooting to return this weekend. Should he? Should he return at all for a 3-7 team with a historically bad defense? Does it matter? lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/11/...

The Big Ten has three teams in the CFP field. Indiana has seemingly locked up a spot, while Ohio State is likely one win away. I can see one route for four B1G teams...but I'd rather not think about it. lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Much has been made about Ohio State slowing the game down. I think its a great strategy when it works. There are some drawbacks to the approach, though. Does Ryan Day have the right idea or is it going to come back to bite the Buckeyes? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The initial CFP rankings are dropping tomorrow. Ohio state and Indiana have a legitimate claim to the number one ranking. Should the Buckeyes keep it, or have the Hoosiers impressed enough to jump them? I think it'll be Ohio State until/if it loses. lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The Bengals have all kinds of issues, both on and off the field. With another meltdown on defense and those players laughing it off, it's obvious that Zac Taylor has lost the locker room. lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/11/...

Julian Sayin was almost perfect as he carved up Penn State's secondary and the Buckeye defense recovered after allowing two first-half TDs. The Buckeyes are 8-0, now. How we feeling? #GoBucks lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Trey Hendrickson is doubtful for Sunday. The Bengals defense has been rough even with him, to put it lightly. Without him? A must-win game just got that much more important. #WhoDey lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/10/...

This year's matchup with Penn State has lost about 99% of its luster. Despite the Nittany Lions on a freefall, the Buckeyes won't take their foes for granted. #GoBucks lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The best defender in college football is up for another award, likely one of many. The Big Ten boasts four Thorpe Award semifinalists! #GoBucks lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The Bengals' defense is god awful. They're gonna be without their best player for a while, most likely. Cincinnati wont trade for the former first-round pick from the Giants, but they totally should. #WhoDey lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/10/...

Bengals choke away a win against the winless Jets. Nothing will change, but it should. Who should be first to go? lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/10/...

Ohio State took care of business and throttled Wisconsin. Onto the bye week! lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The Buckeyes finally get a shot to play for the Illibuck for the first time since 2017 (since 2020 was canceled). Do we see Julian Sayin and the Buckeye offense uncork it again and show the 62-10 beatdown the Illini suffered to Indiana wasn't a fluke? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The Buckeyes were only up 13-3 at halftime, perfectly encapsulating how frustrating the first half was. Then, they turned it on and ran away with a 37-9 victory. What's your biggest takeaway from the Buckeyes' latest victory? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Ohio State is unveiling a "Helmet Stripe" theme for its fans against Ohio. What does that even mean? Well, looks like they've given some insight to the concept. lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

After leading the Buckeyes in rushing last week, has Bo Jackson earned some real playing time with the first-teamers? Even against a lesser opponent, he looked like he has what it takes. lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Ohio State gets a massive win over the number-one team in the country! 🌰 Julian Sayin, as advertised? 🙅‍♂️ Arch Manning's coronation postponed 🅾️ Return of Tresselball? What's better than being 1-0? O-H! lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The Trey Hendrickson saga is over (for this year, at least)! #WhoDey lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/08/...

Auburn turned heads by officially claiming a handful of "new" titles. Ohio State currently claims nine, but there are eight "unclaimed" titles out there. Should the Buckeyes follow suit? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Its official! Julian Sayin is the next starting quarterback for the Buckeyes! lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

With the NCAA's weak attempt at punishing college football's most widespread and egregious cheating scandal, its time for Ohio State to stand up for itself. Should the 2010 season be un-vacated? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Could we see Toledo crash the College Football Playoff this year? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

With six teams on the AP Preseason Poll, the Big Ten has plenty of potential ranked matchups to look forward to! lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The wait is nearly over! Ohio State will kick off its title defense ranked third in the AP Preseason Poll, just behind Texas and Penn State. Should the reigning champs be ranked first? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

I love talking Ohio State alternate unis. To this point, no announcement has been made. Let's try to predict when they'll change it up (if at all) in 2025. What do you think of alternates? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Did you know the MAC has at least one win over what we'd consider a Power Conference opponent since 1991 (outside of the COVID season, obviously)? Which matchups could see the MAC take down their P4 foe? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Coming off a National Championship, Ohio State is tied with Penn state with the most preseason Big Ten honors. Should they have another? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Despite being so close in proximity, the Buckeyes and Bobcats have only faced off seven times heading into 2025's matchup. #GoBucks #MACtion #OUOhYeah lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Ohio State football is right around the corner! The Buckeyes will be back on July 31 to kick off Fall camp, so let's start looking at the position groups. First, quarterbacks! lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Ohio State's Week 2 opponent will be Grambling State, an FCS foe from the SWAC. It'll be the first time the Buckeyes face off against the Tigers but its not the first time they've taken on an HBCU. lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Week 1 will feature two bluebloods in college football as Texas travels to Ohio State. To date, the two have faced off just four times and neither team has won on their home turf. Will the Buckeyes change that on August 30th? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Its time for some peak offseason nonsense content. lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/06/...

The Big Ten is home to some seriously elite defensive backs and is low key loaded at safety. Who are the top defensive backs returning to the Big Ten this srason? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Over the years, the Buckeyes have strayed from the usual home/away look a few times. Some folks don't care for alternate unis. I love em. Which alternate look is the best? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

1. Jeremiah Smith (duh) 2. ?? 3. ?? 4. ?? With an unfortunate injury to one of the Big Ten's most promising WRs, who are the top receivers in the conference heading into 2025? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

BOOM! The Buckeyes added another top talent from Ohio! lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The Buckeyes got a BOOM on the recruiting trail yet again. This time, it's 2028 RB Elijah Newman-Hall! lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

In the wake of the House v. NCAA settlement decision, Ohio State has announced the formation of "Buckeye Sports Group" to address the new NIL world we are living in. Is this good for Ohio State and college football overall? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

There's been a slight shakeup in the Buckeyes' 2029 and 2030 non-conference schedules!

Coming off a national title, Big Ten coaches gave Ryan Day his flowers in Athlon Sports' preseason preview. lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

This year marks the sixth season Ohio State will give out the Block O jersey. Who will join Jonathan Cooper, Thayer Munford, Kam Babb, Xavier Johnson, and Cody Simon this season? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Today, we honor and remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice serving our country. Let's remember a couple of Buckeyes who did so. lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The Athletic recently honored three Buckeye teams as among the best since 2000 (2002, 2014, 2019). Should another have been mentioned? lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Ohio State vs. Texas is set to be featured on "Big Noon Kickoff" to start the season. Where do you fall in the debate surrounding giving Ohio State noon kicks for these big games? #GoBucks lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

The opponents on the Bengals schedule have been set but the order and what time was just announced. Why does the NFL hate the Bengals? Lol lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/05/...

Shemar Stewart and Demetrius Knight Jr. are the only two drafted rookies without deals and both did not fully participate in minimal on Friday. I'm not worried. You shouldn't be worried either. lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/05/...

Is it a rivalry? Is it just a highly-competitive game between two of the Big Ten's best? Either way, Jim Knowles bolted East and Will Howard provided a little insight into the Nittany Lions' fanbase. lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Ohio State landed a top receiver recruit for the 2026 class over the weekend. He already has the right mindset and knows that if he wants to get to the NFL, Ohio State is the move. lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...

Some people think the pick of Shemar Stewart means Trey Hendrickson is on his way out. I disagree. I think Stewart's presence is gonna allow Hendrickson to be even better and, as a result, cash in. lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/04/...

While the Buckeyes fell short of the all-time record, they tied the program record with 14 selections in this year's class. Did your favorite NFL pick up a Buckeye? Mine didn't :/ lastwordonsports.com/collegefootb...
