Skull Session: Noah Ruggles' mother shares a message with Buckeye Nation, Marvin Harrison Jr. wants to be the best receiver ever and Ohio State has had some great calls in the CFP.
We may also forget that Ruggles made 37 of his 41 field goal attempts across his two seasons at Ohio State. In 2021, he ranked No. 1 among FBS kickers with an average of 10.3 points per game and set a program record with 134 total points. This year, Ruggles averaged 9.61 points per contest by converting 17 of his 20 field goals and 74 of his 75 extra points for 125 total points.
And, honestly, why not him? Why not the one they call Marvelous Marv, Route Man Marv and Super Marv? At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds with freaky athleticism, Harrison has the size to cause havoc in the sport for a very, very long time, so he has as good a chance as anyone to shatter records and – at the same time – expectations.
Day and Wilson continued to play against tendency in the second quarter as Clemson spent resources attempting to cover the Buckeyes’ elite receivers. Fields connected twice with Ruckert for touchdowns in the quarter, and Ohio State went into the break up 35-14 before cruising to its first CFP win since the national title game following the 2014 season.
So Fickell and Ash started Bosa in an unusual spot. Then Bosa twisted left. Alabama center Ryan Kelly passed Bosa back to fullback Jalston Fowler, but Kelly lost his footing in the process. That allowed linebacker Darron Lee, who was twisting behind Bosa and heading straight up the middle of Alabama’s offense, to stone a run by quarterback Blake Sims and force a punt.
Ohio State took on a more impressive schedule -- Wisconsin and Iowa were both excellent, and the Buckeyes beat a decent Oregon in the Rose Bowl -- but we're going to give Auburn the ring here because the Buckeyes began the season with a stinker: TCU won 18-14 in Columbus in September, then proceeded to go just 4-4-1 the rest of the way.
