Are the Ohio State Buckeyes preparing to peak in November after a 45-0 win over Purdue on Saturday?
That’s the vibe from many OSU fans on this Kings of Columbus Sunday Sound Off as the Buckeyes handled their business in a boring good way, finding answers in the margins and continuing to put its defense together.
Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises discuss that along with TreVeyon Henderson, Jim Knowles, Eddrick Houston, Will Howard’s deep balls, the use of the Jack position for a series, and slips on the Ohio Stadium turf in this latest edition of Kings of Columbus.
Thanks for being part of it.

Please read!!!! 😊 Will Howard's long ball I believe is still timing. His mechanics for calculating a person's speed still seems off…….treyveon Henderson run and on time placement shows that if he is aware of a person's speed personally. Then it's on point. I think he still doesn't calculate Carnell tate and Jerimiah smith's speed and where the ball should be thrown prior to then even getting there.
big fan of the sunday sound off episodes
Will is putting too much air under the ball on the deep throws. He needs to just put it more on a line and let his guy go get it
Also, on Will Howard's deep ball, there have been at least 2x where Jeremiah said it was his fault for giving up on the play or running the route wrong.
Anybody else smell blood in the water for Indiana after seeing them against the c*nts up north?
4 wide with tempo, that offense would be so hard to stop
I agree with one of the other viewers. I miss the uber-consistent, physical, “3yrs, and a cloud of dust” football, where you may not have won by 21pts, but ALWAYS felt good that you’d win. The Ryan Day era of football is so nauseatingly inconsistent, that it no longer matters who we play, it’s like a win is ANY-thing but guaranteed, and OSU always feel like a catastrophe of some sort is coming. I’ll trade consistent with these bi-polar blowouts ANY day of the week. It always seems like when we win (especially against a decent team) we’re pulling games out of our @sses at the last second, with big plays (Penn State being an exception). It’s very hard to go into any kind of post-season, or TCUN game with Ryan Day as HC, with ANY confidence, whatsoever.
Will's deep ball will NOT hold us back or lose us a game but he will short throw at least 1 per game. 50% of them will be caught. And we can still win against any team in the country with that if we continue to play elite defense. It is what it is. Let's accept reality and move on.
Pound Purdue and make up for 2000, 2009, 2011 and 2018 which cost us a possible National championship
Bill => Really ?
The Western Kentucky 63-10 win, the 47-7 win over Purdue, the 38-3 MSU game and the 37-3 win over Minnesota => none of those games last year felt like this one over Purdue ? Me thinks your memory is SHOT OR FOR $h!T…..or Doud’s knack and penchant for BS is rubbing off on you !
Beware the Les-me-rises effect !!!
Doug is an idiot if he thinks the reason the 'jack' formation didn't work is because of M. Melton.
Will Howard can’t throw deep balls and it worries me immensely. I love the kid, love his leadership, moxie, ability to scramble under pressure, all of his experience. But I flat out do not believe he can throw a deep ball anymore, and down the stretch/into playoffs that concerns me.
Thanks for the great insights BLandis!
How can you say wvwn northwestern is better than Purdue? Purdue took them to overtime and lost by 1
Stats are deceiving. Of the 50% completions beyond 30 yds, Jeremiah Smith came back and made great catches on many under thrown balls. Will has a problem with the deep ball, he needs to be better.
Himnot being able to rip it could be he spent 4 years at k state and they dont have the WRs to make the catches nor the o line to block. Plus how good was the qb coach there? It's not like he is in his 5th year under Day and doing that. Long balls are Browns strength. He learned at at OSU Browns biggest ossue is reading progressions and decision making😊
Guys I wouldn't get tooooo excited about our defense. Our D is always great against teams we are better than. Nebraska – Penn St offense not even close in comparison. We won't know until we play a top 20 offense. Oregon is ranked 11 in yards. Indiana will be a test. Ranked 16th
Tackling: Sonny Styles should try to learn how to do it, nearly every game I’m mystified at whiff after whiff after whiff and he stays in game⁉️— then G. Powers comes in and de-cleats guys over and over…
Sawyers grandpa was my high school coach, he did play in the pirates organization and at one point had the big ten home run record
Maybe LJ is gone after this season, and 3 dlineman is the future
