FEELY IN HIS FEELINGS ON NOV 9 Following the revelation of the Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal, the rivalry between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines has intensified to unprecedented levels.
Furthermore, former Michigan kicker Jay Feely is now accusing the Buckeyes directly, saying that Ohio State has been compensating players for 20 years.
Feely responded to Ohio State alum Matt Finkes on Twitter with, “I can’t listen to the BS coming from former Buckeyes who played while OSU PAID their players for 20 years.” “I visited numerous NFL locker rooms. Buckeyes were transparent about their pay scale.”
Disregarding the fact that Michigan was probably doing the exact same thing to stay competitive even IF Ohio State paid players—which there is no proof of—Feely appears to be the latest Wolverine clinging to a tenuous justification for their school’s transgression.
BUCKEYES BIG FAVOURITES: NOV. 6 Before their Saturday game against the Michigan State Spartans, the Ohio State Buckeyes have opened as clear favourites.
The Buckeyes are a 28.5-point favourite, and the over/under is set at 46.5, according to Fan Duel’s sportsbook.
Lately, Ohio State has dominated the series against the Spartans, winning eight of the previous ten meetings as well as the previous seven.
Nevertheless, the Spartans’ last two victories over the Buckeyes in the regular season (2011 and 2015) occurred in Columbus, with the other coming in the 2013 Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis.
NOV 4: NO BURKE, NO RANSOM, AND NO STOVER Lathan Ransom and Denzel Burke, two of the Ohio State Buckeyes’ best defensive backs, have both been declared out, so the team will be missing both of them on Saturday when they play the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Burke has been battling an ankle injury he first sustained against the Purdue Boilermakers, and Ransom had to leave last weekend’s game against Wisconsin early.
Star tight end Cade Stover, who was dressed down but lacked a brace on his knee and skipped warm-ups, will also be absent for the Buckeyes. It seems like Stover made his decision at the last minute.
The injury report does not include wide receiver Emeka Egbuka of the Buckeyes, who has not appeared on the pitch since leaving the Maryland game.
