Monday Musings for Game 11 – Rutgers

Posted on November 17, 2025 by Buckeye50_Josh Leave a comment

With The Game now less than two weeks away, Ohio State enters its final tune-up against Rutgers balancing two competing truths: the Buckeyes need to stay sharp, but they also need to stay healthy. After watching Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate both rest against UCLA, the question becomes whether Ryan Day should keep his stars on ice for one more week — or push for a crisp, businesslike performance before heading to Ann Arbor. Rutgers arrives as one of the Big Ten’s grittiest defensive units, but for Ohio State, this Saturday is less about the opponent and more about perfecting the details, protecting the roster, and making sure the final stretch into The Game is as clean and controlled as possible.

Facing their first power-conference matchup, the Buckeyes dug an early 11-point hole but battled back to take the lead midway through the second half. The Irish regained control briefly, but a Christoph Tilly runner off the glass with 13 seconds remaining proved to be the game-winner, giving Ohio State a 64–63 victory and moving the Buckeyes to 4–0.

Game 10 Recap: Ohio State 48 – UCLA 10

Ohio State didn’t just beat UCLA on Saturday night — the Buckeyes smothered them, sprinted past them, and reminded everyone why they’ve spent 12 straight weeks perched atop the college football world. Even without Carnell Tate and with Jeremiah Smith used sparingly, the Buckeyes’ depth and discipline powered a 48–10 dismantling of the Bruins that featured a rejuvenated run game, a vintage special-teams lightning bolt from Lorenzo Styles Jr., and yet another suffocating defensive showing. It was businesslike, it was dominant, and it was the kind of November performance that separates playoff hopefuls from true national contenders. With Rutgers up next and The Game looming, Ohio State looks every bit like a team tightening the screws at exactly the right time.

Game Preview: Ohio State vs UCLA

Ohio State enters its final home night game of the season looking every bit like the nation’s No. 1 team, and UCLA arrives as the next opponent standing in the way of a Buckeye machine that has spent two months dismantling the Big Ten. But while the Bruins sit at 3–6, this matchup is less about the opponent and more about what Ohio State wants to become in November: sharper, tougher, and championship-ready.

Bold Predictions: UCLA

Ohio State enters Week 11 looking every bit like the nation’s No. 1 team — but Saturday against UCLA offers more than just another chance to stay undefeated. It’s a stage for dominance, statement-making, and sharpening the edges as November tightens. With Julian Sayin locked in, Jeremiah Smith peaking, and the Silver Bullets hunting turnovers at a historic rate, this is the week bold predictions don’t feel so bold. UCLA brings athleticism and a talented quarterback, but Ohio State brings clarity of purpose — and that usually means fireworks in the Horseshoe.

This week’s Monday Musings looks at whether the Buckeyes can stabilize the offensive line with Josh Padilla’s potential return, how facing Nico Iamaleava offers a perfect warm-up for Bryce Underwood later this month, and what Indiana’s narrow escape at Penn State reveals about a possible Big Ten Championship matchup.

The initial playoff poll came out this week, and Ohio State finds themselves in first place. Speaking of first place, we
