COLUMBUS, Ohio — Halftime ideas from Ohio Stadium with the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes forward of the Wisconsin Badgers 31-7:
* Ohio State was held to a area aim on its fifth drive of the half. It was the primary time within the final two video games that the Buckeyes had the ball within the first half and didn’t rating a landing. They hit the tip zone on all six first-half possessions towards Toledo final week, and on the primary 4 possessions Saturday night time.
* The Buckeyes are taking part in with out their prime three cornerbacks due to harm — Denzel Burke, Cam Brown and Jordan Hancock. It didn’t matter. Second-year participant J.Okay. Johnson and true freshman Jyaire Brown began at nook and held it down. On a Wisconsin third-down throw late within the half, Brown’s protection on Wisconsin receiver Skyler Bell pressured an incompletion. I assumed Wisconsin may attempt to run broad extra to place these younger corners in place to should cease the run, however that didn’t occur a lot. Three accidents at a place that was already possibly the thinnest on the roster felt prefer it could possibly be an issue. It wasn’t.
* Ryan Day schemed up revered Wisconsin defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard and had his approach. Wisconsin was giving up a mean of 9 performs per recreation of 10 yards or extra coming into the sport. Ohio State gained at the least 10 yards on 14 of its first 22 performs. C.J. Stroud picked aside the Badgers’ secondary, finishing 10 of 15 passes for 142 yards. He did miss a pair throws, main tight finish Cade Stover too far on a ball that would have been a landing to arrange a area aim on the fifth drive. On Ohio State’s sixth drive, Stroud missed Marvin Harrison Jr. and was intercepted for the primary time this season.

* Ohio State’s offensive line blew open massive holes persistently. Miyan Williams averaged 9.2 yards per carry (11 for 101) and TreVeyon Henderson averaged 6.5 yards (12 for 78).
* Oh, Ohio State’s finest ability participant, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, remains to be out with a hamstring harm. He’s not taking part in for the third straight recreation since getting damage within the first half of the opener towards Notre Dame. Which means Harrison and Julian Fleming have been the surface receivers and Emeka Egbuka changed JSN within the slot. Egbuka had two catches for 46 yards.
* Stover continues to be a fully major a part of the passing assault. He had 4 catches for 51 yards and two touchdowns and will have had extra. One potential catch was jarred unfastened after he went up for a excessive Stroud move over the center and was flipped on the sort out and landed on his head, and the ball popped out. And Stroud practically had him on that different throw to the tip zone.
* I requested all offseason, “What if Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz is sweet?” He wasn’t. He performed fairly properly by way of the primary three video games, however his early misfire on the primary drive was intercepted by Tanner McCalister to arrange an OSU TD. He missed different throws, didn’t regarded comfy within the pocket, was no risk when he tried to run, and completed the half 6 of 12 for 49 yards.
* Star Wisconsin working again Braelon Allen? Simply eight carries for 36 yards.

The Cleveland Guardians made their first move of the 2024 MLB trade deadline with the acquisition of Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas. It was a move that improved one of the main weaknesses that the team had.
While Thomas is a solid addition, the Guardians could still use some more help if they want to make a run at a championship this season.
Keeping that in mind, Chris Antonetti, the team’s President of Baseball Operations, has spoken out and hinted about more trades coming in the near future.
“We’re definitely not done pursuing things. Whether or not that leads to another deal or more deals, it’s really hard to forecast.”

Antonetti did honestly state that the trade market has been a tough one to navigate this year.
“It was one of the reasons we went out and signed Matt Boyd a couple of weeks ago because we were anticipating this was going to be a challenging market. That’s proven to be the case.”
Acquiring Thomas was a move to improve the offenses potential. Antonetti spoke out about what he expects the veteran outfielder to bring to Cleveland.
“We feel we’ve been able to do that by bringing Lane into the organization. He’s a versatile outfielder, a guy that’s capable of playing center field, right field and can contribute offensively, defensively and on the bases.”
In order to get Thomas, the Guardians had to give up a lot of value, something that Antonetti also spoke out to the press.

“We gave up a lot of value, but that’s what the market necessitated. We gave up three players that we think have a chance to go on and have bright futures and it’s painful to make deals like this, but this is one we felt we had to make.”
All of that being said, it doesn’t sound like Cleveland is done following their move to acquire Thomas.
More trades appear to be likely, assuming the Guardians can find a team that wants to deal as well. It will be interesting to see what Tuesday brings for Cleveland.

There still are plenty of players still out there in free agency still looking for their next opportunities.
Free agency has moved extremely slowly lately and there still are plenty of players out there. There are even some players who could give the Philadelphia Eagles a boost if they decide to make another.
The Eagles don’t necessarily need to add but there still are teams out there looking to add depth throughout the organization and the Dallas Cowboys seem to be one. Dallas is loaded throughout the roster and could be in the market for a quarterback to add more depth and reportedly held a workout for former Eagles quarterback Reid Sinnett recently, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
“Free agent QB Reid Sinnett is working out for the Cowboys today, per source,” Schultz said. “Sinnett spent time with the (Cincinnati Bengals) practice squad last season.”

Sinnett went undrafted in the 2020 National Football League Draft and began his professional career afterward by signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. Since then, he has made stops with the Miami Dolphins, Eagles, San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL, Bengals, and Houston Roughnecks of the United Football League.
He was claimed off waivers by the Eagles in 2021 but didn’t appear in a game. He was cut by Philadelphia in 2022 and spent some time on the practice squad before leaving to go elsewhere.
Hopefully he is able to find his next opportunity soon.
