Ohio State captain accepts Senior Bowl invite as first Buckeye to do so: Buckeye Breakfast
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Tommy Eichenberg became the first Ohio State football player to accept his invitation to the 2024 Senior Bowl held in Mobile, Alabama, on Feb. 3.
The fifth-year linebacker was one of OSU’s most productive defensive players with a team-high 82 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, a sack and a forced fumble. His efforts earned him Big Ten Linebacker of the Year honors.
“Tommy really took the next step here this year, really helped himself I think, coming back for his senior year and I think a lot of it had to do with his ability to diagnose plays, get the defense into checks, tie the front end to the back end, and then just show up, play really hard,” head coach Ryan Day Day said. “I think Tommy is one of the best linebackers in the country and has an opportunity to really play himself even in this last game into one of the top drafted linebackers coming out this year in the draft. But as a captain, he’s been a great leader for us, and his production speaks for itself.”
Eichenberg has a chance to close out his Ohio State career by facing Missouri in the Cotton Bowl on Dec. 29. As of right now he’s played 1,809 snaps over the past five years recording 268 total tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, five pass breakups a forced fumble and two interceptions once of which was a pick-six.
He was also a two-time captain for the BUckeyes.
Hoops makes debut in Coaches poll
The Ohio State basketball team had a ton to prove coming unto this season after a disappointing 2022-23 campaign. Through eight games it’s starting to do so with a 7-1 record to go along with a championship in the Emerald City Classic and opening up Big Ten play with a win over Minnesota.
That early season success is starting to earn the Buckeyes some notoriety around the country. They made their debut in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll coming in at No. 25. They also came close to getting into the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time this season with 122 votes, which was just 26 votes off of No. 25 San Diego State.
OSU rides a six-game winning streak into a game against Miami (OH) as it tries to continue its early season momentum on Wednesday night.

Hello, good evening and welcome to week 12 of the NFL season.

What: Thursday Night Football

And if you feel like making this game a little extra interesting, here are my picks for tonight’s game, from FanDuel.
Let’s Go Texans!
Cleveland (3-8) overcame a couple of late turnovers by quarterback Jameis Winston to come away with their second upset win in recent weeks over an AFC North rival. The Browns defeated the Ravens here, 29-24, on Oct. 27.
“I’d like to compliment the Cleveland Browns,” said Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. “They brought it tonight. It was a hard-fought game. They made more plays over the course of a 60-minute game. We’ve got to own our portions of it. Particularly early on, it took us too long to warm up to the action. We were penalized some with pre-snap penalties. We weren’t really sharp. We got going. Our guys fought. But it wasn’t enough to secure a victory.”
Winston completed 18 of 27 passes for 219 yards with an interception, while Chubb scored a pair of touchdowns while running for 59 yards on 20 carries.
Russell Wilson was 21 of 28 for 270 yards and a touchdown for the Steelers, who dropped to 1-5-1 in their past six trips to Cleveland and 0-4 on Thursday nights against the Browns on the road.
The Steelers had two promising drives to start the game but came away empty both times despite driving into Cleveland territory.
Wilson was sacked on third-and-3 at the Cleveland 32 by Garrett for an 8-yard loss. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin chose to have Chris Boswell attempt a 58-yard field goal, but Boswell’s attempt went wide right to keep the game scoreless.
The Steelers forced a three-and-out and a Cleveland punt and again drove into Browns territory, this time getting to the 38 where they faced fourth-and-2. But Justin Fields, who entered in place of Wilson in the short-yardage situation, was stopped for a two-yard loss, turning the ball over on downs.
The Steelers finally did score on their third possession, as Wilson connected with Calvin Austin III on a 46-yard pass to set up a 48-yard field goal by Boswell and a 3-0 lead.
The Browns, who hadn’t had a first down to that point, answered with a touchdown drive, including converting on fourth-and-1 at the Pittsburgh 16.
“They made some of those fourth-and-shorts and we didn’t,” said Steelers defensive lineman Isaiaah Loudermilk. “We pride ourselves in stopping those kind of plays, and we just didn’t do it.”
Chubb then scored on a 2-yard run to give Cleveland a 7-3 lead with 4:00 remaining in the half.
Looking to get a score before the end of the half, Wilson attempted to step up in the pocket on second down at his own 32, but Garrett got a hand on the ball and knocked it loose. Winston Reid recovered the loose ball at the Pittsburgh 31.
That set up a 34-yard Dustin Hopkins field goal that pushed Cleveland’s lead to 10-3.
