C.J. Stroud's performance in the loss to Georgia will go down as one of the best ever by an Ohio State QB. Here's what he had to say about his most likely last game at OSU and being a Buckeye. "I wouldn't regret anything. I wouldn't take anything back."

Jalen Hurts led Alabama to a 26-2 record as a starter. He was benched in favor of Tua in the national championship and named the backup this year. But he didn't leave. Today he led the Tide to an SEC title so I asked Nick Saban about Jalen's character. His answer says it all

These 2 answers from Chris Holtmann and Ryan Day in back-to-back days stood out to me on the type of coaches Ohio State has in football and basketball. Coaching is "teaching and counseling" and "normalizing struggle." That's the type of person you want leading young men. @OSU_AD
