Coach Talk

BuckeyeBall
Listen, BuckeyeBall, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Nick Bosa), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. Try those shenanigans next week against Cracklings and see what happens!
Cracklings
Cracklings may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 38 times in Week 9. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded only 21 receptions.
