  • Big Ten Results on Ohio State's Bye Week and Marshall Preview

    Big Ten Results on Ohio State's Bye Week and Marshall Preview
    Sep 17 2024
    With Ohio State having a week off, there was no game for us to recap. So, we dove straight into the rest of the results around the Big Ten. It was a pretty good week for the conference unless you’re a Bruin or a Husky, and let’s face it, those guys are barely B1G. In fact, if UCLA is going to play like it did Saturday against Indiana, Bruins fans may end up wishing they’d stayed in the Pac-10. Oregon finally looked like Oregon, Michigan bounced back in less-than-impressive fashion, and Maryland got a key road win out of conference. Outside the conference, LSU at South Carolina was an entertaining matchup, although the Gamecocks ran into some bad luck with a quarterback injury and didn’t help themselves with play calling late in both halves.

    After we checked in on other scores, we turned our attention to Marvin Harrison Jr. and his breakout game Sunday. The former Buckeye and current NFL rookie with the Arizona Cardinals went off for 130 yards and his first two touchdowns as a professional, helping his team win big over the Rams.

    Finally, we turned our attention to Ohio State’s opponent on noon Saturday, the Marshall Thundering Herd. Our preview includes which players to watch for, a brief overview of Marshall’s season to date, and our predictions for the final score. We also selected offensive and defensive Buckeyes that we think will have big games in our “picks to click” segment. We’ll be back next week to break down the game and get ready for Big Ten play against Michigan State.

  • Western Michigan Rewind and Results Around the Big Ten

    Western Michigan Rewind and Results Around the Big Ten
    Sep 14 2024
    Sure, we’re a little late in dropping this week’s episode due to some vacation travel, but we haven’t forgotten to give you a brand new episode of the Silver Bullets Podcast. Ohio State improved to 2-0 on the young 2024 season by virtue of a 56-0 smackdown of the Western Michigan Broncos. Against Western Michigan, the Buckeyes looked like the team we expected to see in the opener against Akron, but they say the biggest improvement during the college football season comes between Games 1 and 2.

    The Buckeyes played with energy from the jump and were relentless throughout the game in putting pressure on the Broncos on both sides of the ball. We broke down the game, discussed what we liked and what we would have liked to have seen more of, checked on the performances of the players we picked to click, and compared our score predictions to see who got closer to calling the final score correctly.

    After our Ohio State-Western Michigan rewind, we ran back the scores from all the other games involving Big Ten teams, as well as some surprises around the upper echelons of college football. Illinois picked up a big win, Penn State and Oregon were less than impressive in narrow home victories, and Michigan was humiliated at home. Notre Dame’s playoff chances took a big blow on Saturday as well. It was a crazy weekend.

    The Buckeyes have the weekend off, so there’s no preview this week, but we’ll be back in our usual time slot early next week to discuss the happenings around the program, how the rest of the league made out during Ohio State’s bye week, and the upcoming matchup with Marshall.

  • Akron Rewind, B1G Results, and Western Michigan Preview

    Akron Rewind, B1G Results, and Western Michigan Preview
    Sep 3 2024
    Week 1 is in the books and Ohio State eventually posted the blowout win over the Akron Zips that most people predicted. It just took a while to get there. The offensive line, in particular, struggled at times, especially in the first quarter. We do our best not to overreact to Saturday’s occasionally problematic dispatching of the Zips and break down Ohio State’s victory.

    There were success stories (kick and punt returns, Jeremiah Smith, Will Howard, the defense not only getting takeaways but also turning them into points, etc.), and plenty of issues that the coaching staff can work on to improve the team as the season progresses. We also looked back at our picks to click and score predictions to see how well (or unwell) we envisioned the game.

    After our game recap segment, we took a trip throughout the Big Ten to see how the rest of the conference fared on opening weekend. The only exception was the USC game, which we could not discuss because we recorded Sunday afternoon. We did not see the Trojans pulling off the upset against LSU, but we’re not mad about it.

    Finally, we looked ahead to Saturday’s meeting with Western Michigan. The Broncos were sitting in a good position in the fourth quarter at Wisconsin when an unlucky bounce on a Badger punt turned things around in Madison. Ohio State will need to be better against Western Michigan to avoid the Broncos hanging around like they did in Madison.

  • More Big Ten Predictions and Akron Preview

    More Big Ten Predictions and Akron Preview
    Aug 27 2024
    It’s finally game week and we couldn’t be more excited. Before we get you ready for Ohio State vs. Akron, we start this week’s show with the latest news out of camp, including the latest Buckeyes to get the black stripes removed from their helmets. We also discussed Nick McLarty winning the starting punting job in preseason camp.

    The NCAA has delivered its official notice of allegations to Michigan and we discuss the slowness of that process, why we shouldn’t expect any punishment to happen this season, and the potential for the Wolverines to qualify for repeat offender status.

    College football started over the weekend with Week 0, and we quickly touched on Georgia Tech’s upset of Florida State in Ireland and an entertaining game between Montana State and New Mexico.

    We conclude our predictions for the 2024 Big Ten final standings with a look at which teams we think will finish in the conference’s top half. Our lists were similar, but we did have a few slight disagreements. We agreed on the top two finishers, however, and you can let us know if you think we got it right or wrong.

    Finally, we looked toward Saturday’s matchup between the Buckeyes and the Akron Zips. We provide our picks for the players we think will have standout games (our “picks to click”), and do our best to predict the final score. We don’t expect a close game.

  • Will Howard Named Starting QB and Big Ten Predictions Part 1

    Will Howard Named Starting QB and Big Ten Predictions Part 1
    Aug 20 2024
    We’re finally back to our weekly football season schedule here at the Silver Bullets Podcast. It’s been a long offseason, but there’s plenty to talk about.

    We start with Ohio State’s starter at quarterback. Ryan Day is not going to let the quarterback battle spill into the regular season in 2024, as he has named Will Howard his guy to lead the offense. We discuss the ramifications of that decision and how we expect that to inform the OSU attack for the upcoming year.

    Howard wasn’t the only player making news since our last show. The Buckeyes have named four captains for the 2024 campaign as well. We talk about whether the right or wrong choices were made both in the personnel involved and the number. We also have a new recipient of the Block O jersey and we feel like it’s a good choice.

    Several more Buckeyes shed their black stripes and are now “official.” Kourt Williams was forced to take a medical retirement from the game, which is the unfortunate news in this episode. We wish Williams the best of luck in the next step of his journey.

    Finally, we take a look at the bottom of the Big Ten. We can’t do our usual divisional ranking predictions this season, as there are divisions in the conference no longer. With 18 teams to rank, it would make for quite a long episode to go from bottom to top, so we’re starting at the bottom and rating the teams that we think will finish in positions 10 through 18 in the Big Ten. Next week, we’ll finish things up by making our bold picks for the teams that will finish in the conference’s top nine positions. As always, feel free to tell us what you think we got right or wrong. We’ll know for sure at the end of the 2024 season.
