HEAR FROM HEAD COACH FRAN MCCAFFERY
“I’ll be sincere with you, I although our offense was fairly good. We obtained good pictures. Yeah, they’re bodily. Yeah, they work. I believe they’re linked. You’ve obtained to provide them credit score for that, however we obtained it to the entrance of the rim. We obtained open threes. We moved the ball. I do suppose that in case you miss 38 pictures, you’ve obtained to get greater than 9 [rebounds] again. It’s laborious while you shoot 3-of-16 from three. I don’t bear in mind a extremely dangerous three. Generally, it’s dangerous as a result of it’s early within the possession, perhaps, however we try this anyway. In order that’s no large factor to us. In case you are open, shoot it. Now we have good shooters that didn’t make pictures tonight. I assumed we moved the ball and shot open pictures, and so they didn’t go in.
Give them credit score. They made seven [threes]. Jeremy Roach was on fireplace. Give him credit score. Good participant. I assumed there have been some actually good issues. We performed laborious. We did good on Kyl [Filipowski]. You understand, he’s a lottery choose. We actually fought him. Our rebounding within the second half wasn’t what it wanted to be. The primary half was just about even, they solely obtained one offensive rebound. Within the second half, they obtained us. Give them credit score for that.”

What Fran McCaffery said at Iowa basketball Media Day
“I think for Payton we all have an expectation, you know, when your best player comes back and lead the league in made threes, well, he’s going to make more threes and he’s going to get more rebounds.
“The thing I’ve been impressed with is he was a really good rebounder last year. He’s a special offensive rebounder.
“A lot of shooters just don’t do that. They hang around on the perimeter, and that’s that. Throw me the ball, and I’ll shoot it in the hole for you.
“He does that, but he’s done more off the dribble. He’s done more passing to open people and reading situations, which is what you would expect from a senior.
“Think about him. Freshman year he played a lot. He was on the Big Ten Championship team. Sophomore year, Rookie of the Year in the league. Last year led the league in made threes, was an All-League player.
“Now, I think how do you go from being a second- or third-team All-League player to first-team? Obviously it’s consistency of effort and performance, and he is going to work harder.”

Ohio State Offensive Lineman Acknowledged After Win Over Iowa
Back in the offseason, the assumption was that Seth McLaughlin would win the starting center job after transferring from Alabama. Not only did he win that job but so far this season, he has played quite well.
This is certainly a welcome sight after the Ohio State Buckeyes struggled with offensive line consistency in 2023 and McLaughlin himself had a down year with the Crimson Tide.
Through the non-conference schedule and two Big Ten Conference games, the pairing has been perfect for both parties. The experienced center has been a strong addition in the trenches and will look to continue to be a dominant force throughout the rest of the season.
Just how dominant has McLaughlin been?
In the win against the Iowa Hawkeyes, McLaughlin actually posted the highest grade of any center in the country during week six according to Pro Football Focus. His 78.6 mark is an excellent grade, yet not surprising considering how solid he has been in the middle.
Not only has McLaughlin been solid this season, but the rest of the offensive line has played quite well. Against the Oregon Ducks, McLaughlin, Josh Simmons, Donovan Jackson, Tegra Tshabola and Josh Fryar will all need to be at their best. It seems like they have been at their best to this point, however, this will be the toughest test yet for the whole team.
If this unit can enforce physicality in the run game and give Will Howard time to operate on Saturday, then not only might McLaughlin grade high with PFF once again, but the rest of the unit may fair pretty well.
