TEAMS:
The NCAA has notified Ohio State that it will face a “failure to monitor charge” in addition to more allegations related to its football program. On Thursday Ohio State announced it will dock itself five total football scholarships over the next three years in response to the new alleged violations.
The Buckeyes are currently awaiting a ruling after going before the NCAA’s committee on infractions back in August for the tattoo-for-memorabilia scandal that forced former coach Tim Tressel to resign. They received another notice of allegations from the NCAA on November 3, and those infractions revolve around a Cleveland-based booster who allegedly provided impermissible benefits to players.
The “failure to monitor” charge is one of the most significant the NCAA can bring against a member school and is typically one step short of a “lack of institutional control” charge.

Carlos Hyde: Stepping Up
Hyde exploded for the first five games

Hyde lead the team in rushing against Akron and Toledo before Jordan Hall returned...
Could Urban Meyer Be Paterno’s Replacement?
Back in May, when Jim Tressel left Ohio State, rumblings shook throughout Buckeye Nation as to who would follow in the Vest’s place as the new head coach. Urban Meyer was a big favorite among the fans, and rumors have been swirling ever since.

NCAA Completes Ohio State Investigation, OSU Imposes More Sanctions
When The Ohio State University went through the scandal with former coach Jim Tressel, the hope of the University and its athletic department was that firing Jim Tressel and self-imposing probation plus forfeiting the last season would be enough.
For a while, it looked like that might be the case when the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions delivered OSU a positive letter in response...

Last trip to Purdue a bad memory for Buckeyes
The Buckeyes face a make-or-break stretch run that starts with a road trip to Purdue.

Ohio State to be sans receiver against Purdue
Ohio State’s passing game has been, um, inconsistent for much of the season — tight end Jake Stoneburner leads the team in receptions with 12 — and now the Buckeyes are going to be down one of their more productive receivers.

Buckeye Defense
Howard came up big
Where to start? The Buckeyes defense is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle, within a Rubik’s Cube. I just don’t know what to say. We are young, we have athletes, we are young, we are fast, oh yeah by the way we are young. Obviously, I see being young as a major problem for our defense.
