We're getting pretty close to a cheesy but awesome slogan that I've wanted to see since Nike started those Winter commercials with the Horseshoe.

BROTHERHOOD: THE WORD THAT KEPT COMING UP AFTER OHIO STATE BEAT WISCONSIN IS THE SAME ONE THE BUCKEYES USED IN 2014
Not every one of them was there in person on that windy night in State College, Pennsylvania, but each player on Ohio State's current football team could make an argument they know exactly what it took to beat Penn State in double overtime. Especially after the way the No. 2 Buckeyes came from behind to top Wisconsin in an extra session.
“It's similar,” right guard Billy Price said, one of the 20 or so scholarship players on Urban Meyer's 2014 team that beat the Nittany Lions 31-24 two years ago. “Everybody put into this game and the outcome showed. You've just gotta be proud of that.”
Ohio State trailed the Badgers by 10 points at halftime on Saturday night after a woeful performance from its offense in the first 30 minutes. Led by J.T. Barrett, the Buckeyes stormed back and made the necessary plays to pull out a win in the hostile environment that is Camp Randall Stadium.
“We don't give up on each other, we count on one another to make a play,” Jalyn Holmes said. “I just feel like that's a great team win. That's a brotherhood win.”
Holmes made the trip east with his teammates two years ago, where Ohio State blew a 17-0 first-half lead to eventually fall behind in overtime. Barrett led the Buckeyes back ahead in that game too, with touchdown runs of 5 and 4 yards. Joey Bosa planted Christian Hackenberg into the turf after he ran through Akeel Lynch in the second overtime to clinch the victory.
“WE DON'T GIVE UP ON EACH OTHER, WE COUNT ON ONE ANOTHER TO MAKE A PLAY. I JUST FEEL LIKE THAT'S A GREAT TEAM WIN. THAT'S A BROTHERHOOD WIN.”– JALYN HOLMES
Bosa's younger brother, Nick, was on the field for Ohio State's dramatic walk-off sack on Saturday. He didn't make the play on his own but joined Holmes, Tyquan Lewis and Sam Hubbard to deck Alex Hornibrook before the quarterback could make a potential game-tying thrown on 4th down.
“It's special,” Nick Bosa said after. “I definitely try to mold my game after what he does and came through tonight.”

I'll go out on a limb here and say: so far the 2016 Buckeyes are exceeding most everyone's expectations.

AT 6-0 AND THE MIDWAY POINT OF OHIO STATE'S 2016 SEASON, URBAN MEYER SAYS 'I LOVE THIS TEAM'
Urban Meyer knows his current Ohio State football team is nowhere near its potential six games into the season—it rarely ever is at that part in the calendar—but that doesn't mean the head coach is upset with where the Buckeyes stand at the midway point.
“I love this team. I love the fact they found a way to win a game,” Meyer said Tuesday on the Big Ten teleconference. “I like the toughness, I like the fact that they're getting very close.”
Ohio State grew tighter out of necessity last Saturday, coming from behind to beat No. 8 Wisconsin 30-23 in overtime at Camp Randall Stadium. Players and coaches alike spoke after the win of the brotherhood that blossomed in the second half when the Buckeyes trailed 16-6 at intermission.
The team's flaws—an inconsistent and struggling passing attack, for example—came to light against the Badgers. But it played hard and acted on the necessary changes the coaching staff put in place down the stretch after getting punched in the mouth against a very well-prepared Wisconsin team. That is what pleases Meyer more than anything.
“We did get out-played. I wouldn't say we got out-toughed. They didn't out effort us,” Meyer said on Monday. “They had some very good stuff. Very good team, very good coaches, and you keep swinging.
“As anguished as that was, as much of a root canal as that was, I'd much rather have it that way for that kind of game, for the development of your team.”

Buckeyes May Be a Year Early, but That's How They Like It
The phrase "better late than never" doesn't always exist in sports, as sometimes things are too far gone for any late actions to even make a difference. For that reason alone, you would think "better early than never" would eventually find its place in the tattered pages of the encyclopedia of sports cliches.
If the Buckeyes have their say, that very phrase will soon exist in the college football lexicon, as Ohio State is once again in the College Football Playoff while being touted as being "a year away."
Replacing as many departed starters as this team had to do was enough reason for some to discount their potential, even while they were a preseason top five or six team according to the voters. Despite those expectations, most believed that the collective inexperience would eventually catch up with the Buckeyes.
Three months later and those people are still waiting.
"Yeah, I think it was a year early," head coach Urban Meyer said recently. "I think as we went through two-a-days, I knew we had to stay healthy. We're fortunate we stayed fairly healthy. We had to develop and we did. Whoever thought Malik Hooker and those guys would develop, Marshon (Lattimore) would stay healthy. He's never been healthy for a season.
"You develop Chris Worley and a guy named Jerome Baker, and the D-line would end up being a strength. Mike Weber, a thousand-yard rusher as a freshman. I could go on and on. You don't really think that far ahead because you don't really have time, but now I could reflect upon the season. Very proud of their progress. That game in Norman, Oklahoma, turned out to be kind of the difference in this whole situation."
