“He Knows That There’s Still a Little Bit of a Question”: Analyst Downplays USC’s Statement Win Over Ryan Day’s Buckeyes

The USC Trojans were desperate for a win when they welcomed Ohio State to the LA Coliseum on Saturday after facing a disappointing 24-7 defeat against Wisconsin in the prior week. The Buckeyes, on the other hand, were coming off a bye week after surviving a last-gasp attempt by Indiana in a low-scoring 19-15 win on Oct. 17. While Ryan Day’s squad was the favorite to win the matchup, which would have put Lincoln Riley’s USC tenure in jeopardy, the Trojans flipped the script completely, dominating the Julian Sayin-less Ohio State in a 30-18 win with stellar performances from Trent Mosley (101 yards, touchdown), Mark Bowman (79 yards) and King Miller (78 yards, touchdown). However, according to On3 analyst George Wrighster, the win was nothing to brag about for Riley, with Ohio State missing its starting quarterback. Speaking on ‘George Wrighster’s College Football Podcast’ on Sunday, he said : “It’s like when you jump up and down, celebrating, pumping your chest after, you know, that the person that was in there was hurt or damaged or anything else. And I know that you’re not, and I’m a big proponent of, listen, if you come out there, there are no excuses.

ESPN updates remaining Ohio State game predictions after loss to USC

Nobody likes a good prediction more than we do here at Buckeyes Wire, and we get into it ourselves when the time comes each week during the 2026 Ohio State football season. If you've followed us at all, you know we like to check on what the ESPN matchup predictor offers about Ohio State's probability of winning each game on its schedule every week. The ESPN computers always adjust the numbers after the latest slate of games, and we like to check in each time. After a Week 9 that saw Ohio State lose to USC on the road, along with some other surprises, the computer model ESPN uses did its thing and spit out a new look at the chances of the Buckeyes winning each remaining game for the 2026 regular season schedule. It's not just the loss that can move the needle, but how other teams fared also plays into the analytics. How does the model treat OSU from here on out with a new quarterback and with a second loss? This year's schedule is a daunting one, with remaining road contests still to go at Nebraska , and home games against Oregon and Michigan also on the

Dan Lanning provides updates on Oregon's Jordon Davison, Jeremiah McClellan

The Oregon Ducks will need all hands on deck this Saturday for a trip to Columbus to play the Ohio State Buckeyes . The Ducks lost a pair of running backs in a comeback win over Northwestern on Halloween and have been without one of their star receivers for more than a month, but reinforcements could be coming soon. Dan Lanning provided updates on injured wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan and running back Jordon Davison on Monday ahead of the Ducks' trip to Columbus. McClellan, who went down with a foot injury in pregame warmups against Portland State on Sept. 18, was seen running routes before Oregon's win over Northwestern. The junior wideout could be catching passes from Dylan Raiola soon as he works his way back into the fold. "(McClellan's) been doing some stuff with us in practice," Lanning said. "Continue to evaluate where he's at, but you know, certainly is promising the growth and the steps that he's taken." Davison, meanwhile, has been Oregon's leading rusher this season. However, he suffered a leg injury in the first half against Northwestern after going down awkwardly while being tackled. He quickly left the game and returned to the sideline in the

Ryan Day Rips Ohio State Special Teams for Multiple Mistakes Behind USC’s 44-Yard Punt Return

Ryan Day called Ohio State’s punt coverage against USC a disaster, but that barely scratches the surface. The Buckeyes surrendered a 44-yard return, gifted USC another 15 yards with a reckless penalty, and turned a routine punt into a complete embarrassment. For a program with championship ambitions, Ohio State’s special teams looked anything but championship-caliber. Speaking on Buckeye Roundtable, Ryan Day didn’t bother dressing it up when discussing the play. “That was a disaster, that whole play, to put it kindly,” he said, as shared by Eleven Warriors’ Dan Hope. There’s not much to argue ...
