DEs show promise; offensive line not yet set
Ohio State defensive ends Adolphus Washington and Noah Spence turned the Ohio State spring game at times into a sack fest. And while coach Urban Meyer was excited about those budding stars, he was vexed by the play of his right tackle candidates. Vandalia product Taylor Decker couldn’t contain Spence, ...
Miller, OSU offense shows improvement in spring game
Braxton Miller was sacked about a half-dozen times in the Ohio State spring game Saturday, but the junior quarterback was hindered by having to wear a no-contact black jersey, which meant defenders only had to touch him to register a tackle. He’s convinced he could have dodged a few under ...
Washington looks to take over Simon’s position
Ohio State’s Adolphus Washington was always so much bigger and stronger than his peers growing up that he could dominate without having to push himself. But the 6-foot-5, 290-pound defensive end from Cincinnati Taft High School knows his days of getting away with being a loafer are over. If he ...
Miller fights back after taking hit
Ohio State coaches have been hoping for more emotion out of the low-key Braxton Miller, and they saw plenty from the quarterback after he took an unexpected hit during practice Tuesday while wearing a no-contact black jersey. Miller picked himself up slowly and then went after the offending player, who ...
Miller making strides, still has a ways to go
Ohio State coaches have been exhorting quarterback Braxton Miller to become more of a vocal leader, to bring an infectious energy to the field as if it were another piece of equipment. But he’s known for his low-key personality, and that does have its advantages. Not only does it keep ...
Buckeyes advance on Craft’s 3-pointer
Most kids who grow up playing basketball have pretended to count down the clock and hit the winning shot in a momentous game. But Aaron Craft isn’t like most kids. “I think you know I’m a defensive guy. I think I was in the backyard going, ‘Three, two, one’ and ...
Ohio State, others hopeful of ending NCAA title drought
The Big Ten has produced one NCAA tournament champion in the last 24 years, the lone crown going to Michigan State in 2000. But as Ohio State coach Thad Matta pointed out Saturday, the league has had its share of title-worthy teams in that span, including a couple of recent ...
Dayton passed over by Big East
The new Big East officially passed over Dayton and picked Xavier, Butler and Creighton to join the Catholic 7 schools to begin play in 2013-14. Dayton’s hope now is that the new league isn’t finished expanding. While Xavier and Butler were considered shoo-ins all along to be included, Creighton emerged ...
Buckeyes land in Dayton
Dayton was hoping for a little regional flavor — or at least a marquee name or two — to bolster its NCAA tournament First Four games Tuesday and Wednesday and got neither. But as UD Arena director Tim O’Connell pointed out, there are no complaints about the tourney field coming ...
Most UD, XU players getting first taste of rivalry
Dayton returned only four players who suited up for the team last season, which means the majority of the roster hasn’t been exposed to the passion and intensity of a Xavier game. But that doesn’t necessarily put the Flyers at a disadvantage. The Musketeers went through such an offseason overhaul ...
