They have a week off before entering Big 12 Conference play October 1 at TCU. By Rivals’ recruiting rankings, the Buckeyes have signed a total of 81 four- or five-star players since 2012. This team may be young, but it is extremely talented and should be looked at as the favorite in the Big Ten – even with Michigan and Michigan State in the same division. It features plenty of respect and a bit of verbal taunting from the Sooners.
OU quarterback Baker Mayfield’s penchant for dramatic plays were more of a curse than a blessing. On one side is Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer. According to Stoops, the absence of execution has been a downfall for Oklahoma. There are two things that are just not supposed to happen in college football. He certainly was that against the Sooners.
A recent piece from Tulsa World indicates that Stoops has an OH connection. That just goes to show from Houston and Ohio State that you have to work for everything around here. He never claimed the Buckeyes as his team or was recruited to play there, but knows quite about their tradition.
Sooners coach Bob Stoops on the sideline against Houston Cougars.
“A 45-24 victory against Oklahoma served mostly as an introduction: Meet the new Buckeyes, same as the old Buckeyes-unless maybe they’re better”.
“You recognize and respect the tradition and history of Ohio State and their excellent play”. I believe it is, at least in our building. The teams have not met since 1983, when Ohio State claimed a 24-14 victory. Which one seemed more physically equipped?
Armstrong converted a fourth-and-9r with a 14-yard pass to Jordan Westerkamp before taking off on his winning run for the Huskers (3-0). Ohio State gained 6.5 yards per snap against the Sooners, the most anyone’s put on them since Kansas State’s 7.0 in October 2014.
– The status of Walker and Romar in this game are huge. “I had to swallow hard when we were talking about who was going to get on the plane to come here”. There’s only so much help in this game. “Guys that want to sit there and be individuals, that’s when you kind of see a team fall”. They make every level of your defense execute. We just didn’t play very well. The Buckeyes lost 16 starters, or basically everybody besides quarterback J.T. Barrett and a few others.
But their pulse soon would flatline again as the Ohio State offense was too efficient, too talented, for their defense to have chance. The Sooners and Ole Miss are the first 1-2 teams to be ranked in the AP Poll since 1999.
“Ridiculous comments. That will be addressed as well”, Stoops said. Now Mayfield will need to deliver on his teammate’s claims. Sophomore linebacker Jerome Baker took a pass from Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield to the endzone in the first quarter, putting OSU up by double digits.
The two teams will compete at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. Central (7:30 p.m. Eastern).

On the offense, Ohio State averages 188.8 yards in passing and 245.2 yards in rushing. Tonight’s game has a late starting time and will be airing on a national TV channel as well as available on a live stream online option.
