Burger is a Cincinnati product who had scholarship offers from other big schools – including Saturday’s opponent, Bowling Green – but chose to walk on at Ohio State instead.

Before last season started and the injury bug bit the Buckeyes, Meyer had planned for Samuel to touch the ball 15 plays a game and be on the field for at least 40 plays.
Urban Meyer is unhappy with Ohio State’s decision to suspend one of his players. We’ll still be talking about the same few teams competing for the title, but the road we take to get there this season will be different from what it was the year before, and the year before that, and the year before that.
Schiano is a more familiar name to Ohio State fans than most of the players who will be huddling with McMillan on defense. “He can do great things at wide receiver or with the ball in his hands at the running back position, so we will see how it goes”. “Everyone knows that. He’s so adept, really does a nice job of pass blocking, obviously we all know he can run the ball and catch the ball”. Ohio State is going to do what it does (offensively and defensively). I’ve got like two seconds left on the play clock. Since positions were needed to be filled, players have had to step up. Brown was in line to start a season ago and has not played since the Buckeyes won a national title over OR in January of 2015. They return All American quarterback, Baker Mayfield, along with 12 other starters. Urban Meyer’s recruiting prowess is the key factor as to why many believe OSU is still one of the top contenders this season. He was the associate head coach at Texas Tech a year ago and was part architect of the Red Raiders high powered offense. “It’s one of the really neat experiences, zero expectations”.
The Falcons have won 28 games over the last three seasons and were 10-4 last season, including wins at Maryland and at Purdue. James Knapke leads the offense at quarterback.
“I’d have him ranked No. 1 as the playmaker on offense”. Thirteen starters return for Mike Riley’s team.
Expect quarterback J.T. Barrett to come out swinging on Saturday; trying to find his favorite receivers, as the Buckeyes only have two weeks until a date with #3 Oklahoma in Norman.
Location: The two will meet up at Ohio Stadium (104,944) in Columbus, Ohio. He also is only the fourth player in Big Ten history, and the first since 1989, to win the Chicago Tribune Big Ten MVP.

October 15 – at Wisconsin – The Badgers will miss Dave Aranda as defensive coordinator but his replacement, Justin Wilcox is a capable coach.
In 2014, with more play makers at receiver, OSU gained 52 percent of its yardage in the running game and 48 percent in the passing game. “I’m going to play every game and appreciate it”. Moore has always been a complement piece on a deep and talented BG receiving core. Add to the mix freshmen like defensive end Nick Bosa, who is expected to see playing time this year and things could be quite interesting on defense. A Texas Tech assistant for three seasons after a long career in Texas high school football, the 44-year-old Jinks took the helm at Bowling Green this season after Dino Babers was hired away by Syracuse. Not only that, but outside of the 2016 spring game in April, Weber has yet to take his first collegiate snap. He’s also on the watch lists at Butkus and Bednarik Awards.

It’s rare for a Pro Bettor to have his Best Bet on the week’s biggest game. Barrett is the unquestioned No. 1 this fall, and with a full slate of practice reps under his belt, a return to his 2014 form is a decent bet. Meyer said he wants to see Barrett carry less of the load on the ground after averaging 62 yards rushing per game last season. Buckeyes won an intense recruiting battle with MI for this kid from Cass Tech H.S.in Detroit. Everyone has questions. But even with those questions, it would be shocking to see a team from outside that trio crowned Big Ten champion in 2016. Mike Jinks is in his first season at Bowling Green. He could be a disruptive force for the defense this year.
