Watch: Ohio State takes a 2-touchdown lead after a Georgia interception

The Buckeyes strike quick after a turnover #GoBucks

The Buckeyes are making a statement. Not many people thought they could play with Georgia, the defending [autotag]College Football Playoff[/autotag] champions, but this is exactly why they play the game.

[autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] had recaptured a touchdown lead after a Miyan Williams 2-yard scoring plunge. On the first play from scrimmage, Bulldog quarterback [autotag]Stetson Bennett[/autotag] made his first mistake of the game, throwing an interception to linebacker [autotag]Steele Chambers[/autotag].

It would take the Buckeyes just three plays to find the end zone again, as quarterback [autotag]C.J. Stroud[/autotag] found wide receiver [autotag]Marvin Harrison Jr.[/autotag] for the second time in the contest for a touchdown.

The 16-yard scoring play would give the Buckeyes a 21-7 lead early in the second quarter. This game has been just as entertaining as the first CFP game played earlier in the day.

Steele Chambers says he’ll return to Ohio State for fifth year

The former running back turned linebacker will be back for one more year. #GoBucks

While Ohio State prepares for the College Football Playoff, there are several players with decisions to make pertaining to their future. The decision to leave school early for NFL riches or stay a Buckeye to hone their skills and maybe tend to unfinished business.

The most high-profile player to make that decision has been Jaxon Smith-Njigba. However, regardless of what some in the media are trying to sell, JSN is still recovering from a hamstring injury and really had no choice.

One of those players who would be draft-eligible has already made his decision. Steel Chambers who came to Ohio State as a running back prospect, moved over to the defensive side of the ball last season when the linebacker position was thin. Chambers has more than solidified himself in the role and shared that he will be back to get another year under his belt before trying his luck in the draft.

Several players will have decisions to make at the end of the season. Tommy Eichenberg told reporters that he hasn’t even thought about the NFL yet as all of his focus has been on preparing for the playoffs.

Getting Chambers back will give the Buckeyes a two-year starter back at linebacker. What a pleasant surprise for Jim Knowles to know that kind of experience is coming back.

Ohio State is preparing to take on No. 1 Georgia in the CFP semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on December 31 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Browns scouts present at Ohio State vs. Michigan

The Browns have scouts present at The Ohio State vs. Michigan game today in Columbus.

Is there a better rivalry in all of sports than The Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the Michigan Wolverines? As the second and third-ranked teams in the nation get set to square off at noon today, the Cleveland Browns will be one of many teams sending scouts to the big game.

There are plenty of players who they could be watching from Ohio State’s Ronnie Hickman, Zach Harrison, Steele Chambers, and Dawand Jones to Michigan’s Mike Morris, Mazi Smith, and more. With a load of 2023 NFL Draft talent present in this matchup, it would be unwise for the Browns not to be.

Ohio State vs. Indiana halftime review: 3 takeaways

What are the three biggest takeaways from Ohio State’s performance against Indiana at the half?

The Ohio State Buckeyes are taking it to the Indiana Hoosiers in impressive fashion and if you put any money on Ohio State at all you must be feeling pretty good right now. I have to give props to my fellow writers on Buckeyes Wire who identified this as an easy win, because I fell for the classic Indiana trap storyline and thought this would be a contest. Instead, OSU is up 44-7 at the half and doing about everything it wants on offense.

Now I will say, the Hoosiers look much different with a healthy Michael Penix Jr. under center and they would probably look slightly more competitive with a healthy Jack Tuttle, but this is football and injuries are all part of the game. I want to dive into the three things that have most interested me so far this game and they are actually all positive.

Next…TreVeyon Henderson the GOAT?

WATCH: Ohio State executes a fake punt deep in own territory against Rutgers

Watch as Ohio State running back Steele Chambers takes a direct snap and executes a 38-yard run to put the Buckeyes in prime position.

It may only be a game against Rutgers, but if you let an underdog hand around long enough, the belief can set in, and suddenly, you’ve got a ball game.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day wasn’t having any of that. For those of you old enough to witness a myriad of punting formations from former OSU head coach Jim Tressel, watching Day’s aggressive tendencies has to be a breath of fresh air. Heck, even Urban Meyer has to marvel at how confident and aggressive Day’s play calling is.

It was on display again against the Scarlet Knights. While Ohio State was already up 14-3, it got stopped deep in its own territory early in the second quarter and was staring down the possibility of giving punter Drue Chrisman some air time for once.

But no.

Watch as Day dials up a fake punt and allows running back Steele Chambers to take the snap and ramble 38-yards for an easy first down in Rutgers territory.

If you’re Rutgers, you have to be shaking your head in disbelief. It’s bad enough you have to try and hang with a team as talented as Ohio State. For the Buckeyes to pull this off has to be disheartening.
