  Seems like Okudah is a silent verbal and is just waiting for his perfect time.
  
  Sounds like OSU could be in good position for Werner, Tufele and possibly even Marvin Wilson and Trey Smith. If they end with those 5 guys...what a class!
  
  Very interested to see if they can somehow pull Cam Akers from the South, but it seems unlikely right now. Also interested to see what happens with Jaylen Harris. Best WR in Ohio, has an offer, but won't pull the trigger.

  Well, look there. A fluke TD.
  
  No one deserved that to happen to them more than PSU.

  OSU plays at 7 PM
• SportsAndLady

  

  Damnit! Hate watching big OSU games at parties.
• Benny The Jet

  

  What genius thought the NYE games/times were a good idea...and then actually got it approved?!? Just told my wife what time the game was...less than thrilled.
• wildcats20

  

  Really shocked there isn't a 9PM game.
  
  But 7 is ok.

  new Years day is Sunday = NFL
  
  College football doesn't want to compete for viewers with NFL

  That's great, but they did this last year too on New Years Eve on a Thursday night. Having any games at night on New Years Eve is a horrendous idea, and the ratings proved that last year. Why it even got green-lighted is beyond me.
  
  Also, the 2 playoff Bowl games would SMOKE the NFL games in ratings. Not even close.

  pretty sure it has to do with television contracts.

  which is exactly why I told my wife we're not doing anything that night...she was cool with it as she's a Buckeye fan as well (thank God!)

  My gf is an OSU diehard. She's cool with watching it at my place with some OSU friends and then heading over to the NYE party. Thankfully they started the game early enough where that could happen.

  Because I know I'm not the only one obsessed with what jerseys OSU will be wearing...
  
  According to UniWatch, they will be wearing the white jerseys from the 2015 Sugar Bowl.

  I love the large striping on the shoulders. Reminds me of the early 2000 jerseys before the change in 2006.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Those jerseys are sweet.

  That's because that is exactly what it is lol. Minus the modern elastic banded sleeves.

  I agree.
  
  I love the red with the black number on the shoulder, from the Championship game, also. Jersey they wore against Michigan this year.

  Meaningless factoid of the day via Twitter. The last time Zeke lost a road game was as a freshman in high school.
• ironman02

  5* Offensive Lineman Trey Smith from Tennessee makes his college decision tomorrow at 4PM.
  
  He was once considered a lock to Tennessee, but OSU and Bama have made up some ground. Last week, it was rumored that OSU would be the pick, but it now looks like things may have swung back into Tennessee's favor. Anyway, could be a great addition to the OSU class tomorrow, but seems unlikely right now.
• mcburg93

  

  I see Martel has been talking with him a lot. I wonder if the lean back to Tennessee is why. I also see that Lindsey is hammering him as well. Would be a huge pick up considering Prince is supposedly the best we have out of all the other linemen on scholarship.
