2024 Season: Are You Ready For Some Football?



Perfect gif for this years team. Chips are all pushed in now. It’s hard to win a title but this is the year to do it because after this year we are talking about a complete turnover of nearly every starter.

While they’re at it they should go get an OT lol.

Seriously though this is a top 3 defense that should be a good bit better than what we were last year which is insane to think about.

Side note- I’m going to be so disappointed when we give up a field goal vs Akron lol

NFL Draft 2024: Ohio State, Alabama headline winners, losers from early-entry deadline​

NEUTRAL: TEXAS LONGHORNS

WINNER: OHIO STATE BUCKEYES


12227698.jpeg


There exists no legitimate argument against Ohio State as the biggest winner of Monday’s deadline. While Biletnikoff Award winner Marvin Harrison Jr. is unsurprisingly done with college football, nearly all of the Buckeyes’ other top contributors committed to another year in Columbus. Cornerback Denzel Burke, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, running back TreVeyon Henderson and edge rusher J.T. Tuimoloau are all top-100 NFL Draft prospects, but each of them extended their Ohio State careers, making the Buckeyes not only a candidate to reclaim Big Ten supremacy but also to win the national championship.

LOSER: ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE

WINNER: GEORGIA BULLDOGS

LOSER: FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES

WINNER: MIAMI HURRICANES

LOSER: WASHINGTON HUSKIES

WINNER: OLE MISS REBELS

LOSER: MICHIGAN WOLVERINES


Michigan’s outlook in the first year of the Big Ten’s 18-team era largely hinged on J.J. McCarthy and his availability for the 2024 season. The quarterback elected at the deadline to go the professional route, forcing the Wolverines to rebuild on offense. That process becomes more difficult with touchdown-machine Blake Corum forgoing his extra year of eligibility and wide receiver Roman Wilson declaring for the draft, as well. Michigan is a talent factory in the trenches but must also replace numerous starters along both lines. The national champs have their work cut out for them ahead of their title defense tour.

WINNER: OKLAHOMA SOONERS

LOSER: CLEMSON TIGERS

I'd like to see who all won that

Same. Static holds are such a sneaky thing. Like farmer carry’s. Start out pretty easy and by 30 seconds in that pain in the fingertips slowly works its way up the arms until you’re shaking.

Also, looks like Mick has the boys getting some needed weight on:

College football 2024: What we're most excited to see

What game on next season's schedule are you most looking forward to?

Ohio State at Oregon, Oct. 12
It's probably no coincidence that the Buckeyes decided to go all in on the transfer portal shortly after rival Michigan ended its 26-year drought without a national title. By adding Alabama safety Caleb Downs, Kansas State quarterback Will Howard, Ole Miss tailback Quinshon Judkins and other impact players, the Buckeyes might be the team to beat in the newly expanded Big Ten. The Ducks will have something to say about it, however, after adding former Oklahoma starter Dillon Gabriel to replace record-setting quarterback Bo Nix. A long trip to Eugene won't be easy for the Buckeyes, especially after facing Iowa's stout defense the week before.

Michigan at Ohio State, Nov. 30
No one knows what this game will look like by the time it comes around. With Harbaugh gone, will offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore, who was the interim coach against Ohio State this past season for the Wolverines, be the head coach? We don't know who Michigan's replacement at quarterback will be for the outgoing J.J. McCarthy. We do know that Ohio State has loaded up in the transfer portal and added a lot of talent. This game is always interesting, but this season will have new storylines to watch and could have a ton of ramifications.

Which true freshman or transfer are you most excited to see?

Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State
With Marvin Harrison Jr. likely a top-five NFL draft selection come April after three very successful seasons in Columbus, there's a significant void to fill at the wide receiver factory that exists at Ohio State. Enter five-star receiver Jeremiah Smith, the second-best receiver in the recruiting cycle. Smith (No. 7 overall in 2024) caught 90 passes for 1,389 yards and 19 touchdowns as a senior for Florida high school power Chaminade-Madonna Prep, and he should provide an immediate impact for Ryan Day and Kansas State import Will Howard.

Caleb Downs at Ohio State
The Buckeyes were able to get Downs, who was arguably the best transfer player this offseason. He was the first true freshman at Alabama to lead the team in total tackles with 107. Coordinator Jim Knowles has improved this Ohio State defense in two seasons, but adding Downs will push the group up another level. Downs should be an instant impact player who could help Ohio State compete for a national championship when combined with everyone else the Buckeyes have returning on defense for the 2024 season.
