Bosa and the Buckeye defense held Maryland to 66 rushing yards. Another week and another opponent's stats get sacked. We all know that Ohio State defeated Maryland 52-24 in College Park Saturday, but the Buckeyes dominated the stat sheet as well. It's always interesting to see...

Saturday will be Ohio State's first game against Maryland in football. Therefore the two schools do not have a history in this great sport. That got me thinking as to what Ohio State's record is against opponents from the Big Ten when they played for the first time. 1918 was the first time...

THE RUNNING START TV: Saturday, Noon, ABC The Buckeyes travel to College Park to take on Maryland. The Terrapins may be without their starting quarterback. C.J. Brown left the win against Indiana with a wrist injury. Stefon Diggs, a player highly recruited by the Buckeyes, is a dangero...

Another week and another opponent's stats get stuffed. It's always interesting to see how a team's stats change after playing Ohio State. Below you will be able to compare Cincinnati's stats before playing, and after playing, Ohio State. The Buckeyes completely dominated the scoreboard ...

Gunner Kiel came into the Shoe and threw for a total of 352 yards and 4 touchdowns.  And while that's not great it's also not that bad either, and here's why:   Let's just for one second, take away Gunner's 3 long bombs: 60, 78 and 83 yarders - all TD passes.  I know that's like sa...

Ok OSU Fans... In honor of the University of Cincinnati vs. THE Ohio State University game... I have a quick trivia question... This question should be really easy to answer. Question: WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PHOTO BELOW? The UC WR is George Murray & the OSU defender is Cie Grant. H...

THE RUNNING START TV: Saturday, 6:00 BTN Troy Smith and Antoine Winfield will be inducted into the Ohio State Sports Hall of Fame this weekend. Hopefully Smith and Winfield will also be able to celebrate Ohio State's victory over Cincinnati. The Last Time... Cincinnati played Ohio...

I would rate pass defenders based on these activities, in order of importance: No passes to your side of field Interceptions (additional points for int returns, scores, or wins resulting from them) PBU's  Tackles just as/after ball is caught Tackles after a teammate missed. Forc...

I made the decision last week to review Stone's Imperial Russian Stout.  I was excited about this since I thought I could remember having it at one point in time.  There was a plan in place.  Since the Buckeyes weren't playing I obliged my wife by going shopping and test driving some ...

The introduction of the forward pass is arguably the last major change college football saw prior to the introduction of the new playoff system, which has the SEC and 4 or 5 other teams vying for 4 slots.  Just as the forward pass saw an increase in yards gained per game, we’ll get twice as m...

ESPN is reporting that Josh Sweat has suffered a dislocated kneecap in a game on Friday September 19th.  Sweat is a top recruit who has the Buckeyes in his Top 5. He is a player that could help Ohio State or any program that he signs with.  Some recruiting services have him as the top recr...

Good morning, 11 dubbers.  I've been thinking about doing this for some time and this past weekend I finally decided I would begin a weekly blog dedicated to reviewing the adult beverage of choice for each football Saturday. So every Tuesday or Wednesday morning I will post my review of the ...

While sleeping last night, I had the strangest idea/ question come to mind. It stemmed from a comment on this site about spreading of the profits from the BTN to all the schools vs. only those that win. One poster (sorry for lack of crediting) noted that maybe the profits that schools receive sho...

Another week and another opponent's stats get dumped. We all know that Ohio State defeated Kent State 66-0 in the Horseshoe on Saturday, but the Buckeyes dominated the stat sheet as well. It's always interesting to see how a team's stats change after playing Ohio State. Below you will b...

Dear fellow Buckeye fans, let me ask you a very simple question:  Would you wear blue in Ohio Stadium during a Buckeye football game? I hope you answered No (or better yet, Hell No). That was the easy question.  Now let's get to the harder one.  Can any of you right-thinking ...

THE RUNNING START TV: Saturday, 12:00 ABC Regional 1967 was the last time Ohio State lost a home opener against an unranked opponent. I believe there would be very few readers of Eleven Warriors that attended that attended the 7-14. The Buckeyes finished 6-3, but defeated That Team 24-14 i...

A boss once told me "sometimes it is better to be able to consistently hit doubles than occasional home runs because if you hit several home runs people will always expect them even when it is nearly impossible." We are in this position with football. Make no mistake, expecting and working for ex...

Full Disclosure: I was extremely disappointed in the play calling last night, and like many of you wished to have seen more underneath/ screen routes. HOWEVER, Before everyone goes and decides to "Post Herman's resume to Monster", or petitions to fire Herman I figured I'd do a little research on ...
