It is being reported on a non-Rivals OSU site that several (that was the word used in the article) OSU players have apparently tested positive for COVID-19. No other information, specific players or number of players, was available. OSU declined to comment on the situation. Based on the 21 day rule, these players would miss the rest of the Big Ten regular season and the Big 10 Championship game. Per Big Ten rules, teams must play at least six games to be eligible for the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 19 in Indianapolis (unless the average number of games played per team in the conference drops below 6).
OSU Season in Jeopardy?
- Thread starter Capiche
- Start date
Means we’ll start popping next week. Couple that with the fact we’re playing Maryland I don’t like our odds of playing 9 games.
Your receivers should be safe since our (OSU) cornerbacks were practicing the 6 feet distance rule during the game. My math was wrong on the 21 day rule. These players would miss the rest of the regular season but could be available for the Big 10 Championship game. Some of the unconfirmed reports suggest it may be restricted to a certain position group. OSU releases a player unavailable list on Friday. It will be interesting to see the names on that list. As of right now the Illinois game is still on
How much you wanna bet the Big Ten revisits the 21 day rule...😉
I personally do not want us to be a part of the CFP this season. The thought of Alabama and/or Clemson receivers running roughshod through our secondary would be brutal. But then again we all know the rankings are determined by which teams produce the highest TV ratings.
Spell o-_h-i-o... This is a Test...😉
Come on... I spotted you three letters and broke it down for you just like the real Buckeye brain trust does...
If you can't get that right you're either a p u fan or lost cornhusker...
By the way..., I'm just teasing you... You may well be the first (check that.., 3rd..., we do have St Henry on here and Ten Point Buck was another breath of fresh air) normal acting "the" Ohio $tate fan(s) I've run across in the last fifty plus years..., hence the disbelief...😉😎

If O$U missed 3 games, they're out of the championship game. They've already missed one game. Miss 2 more and they're out.
They could still be in the CFP, though.
I guess Nick614 is going to get to learn whether his boast is accurate or not (that o$u's 2nd team is the 2nd best team in the Big Ten)... 😉
Here's the article that the OP was hinting at:
Ohio State-Illinois game in jeopardy
Ohio State’s game at Illinois on Saturday is in jeopardy after some OSU players tested positive for COVID-19.

No tears here for them... They're going to get waxed in the Championship (if they get there) anyway... We just got through giving everyone with comparable talent the template to beat them with...
Off topic from the OP...
It's a little late in the week for Ohio $tate talk but I thought this was too interesting not to share it...
This is a breakdown (to some extent) of how we defended them:
www.cleveland.com
In my opinion, we either cost them the Championship (because everyone else will do a variation of that to them)..., or we won it for them (in that they can learn from it)... Personally, I think they're toast...😉

This is a breakdown (to some extent) of how we defended them:
What Ohio State football saw from Indiana’s defense, how the Buckeyes solved it, and what might be next -- Film Review
What the Buckeyes learned against Indiana and how they tried to attack the Hoosiers' defense.

Hopefully the outbreak is not too extensive and the players that tested positive remain healthy.
I would think that O$U 3rd string could take Illinois this week and then cancel the game after that if need be.
Might be that UM could give O$U a game now that they've found a QB that can find a receiver when it's needed.

They go by a different set of rules,they will play.As much as I dislike them,we are playing this year because the conference thinks they have a chance at the NC.They won’t jeopardize that by canceling their games.
Oops... Not now... It just blocked me too...
Basically, a guy who used to coach broke down our variations of cover two... Sorry...

Lets hope it is not Ahia's OL room. The way they held and hugged all game makes me very concerned for IU's defensive players.
