Ohio State is one of the biggest brands in college football, and the last three seasons they have played have been unacceptable. They lost to Michigan for three straight years, which sent the Buckeyes into panic mode this offseason.
Head coach Ryan’s Day went crazy in the transfer portal, landing Alabama’s star safety Caleb Downs, Ole Miss running back Quinshon Judkins, Kansas State quarterback Will Howard, and returned a lot of starters who could’ve entered the NFL Draft.
Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day pumps his fast after a touchdown by Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Devin Brown (33) during the first half of Saturday’s NCAA Division I football game against the Purdue Boilermakers at Ross-Ade Stadium in Lafayette.
Of course, the Buckeyes had to spend a lot of NIL money to land top transfers and bring back most of their roster; an article from ESPN’s Jake Trotter was published on Monday with the headline “Ohio State went all in this offseason motivated by Michigan” and explained how Ohio State built a $20 million national championship or bust roster.
Of course, people will see that headline and react accordingly, and one of the craziest coaches in college football made sure to react to the article on the Buckeyes.

Kiffin has spoken up about this subject a few times this offseason, and there is something going on with the Ole Miss head coach and the Buckeyes.
Maybe Kiffin is still salty that he lost his running back, Judkins, to Ohio State this offseason. Kiffin wants to make sure everyone knows Ohio State is paying a lot of money for its roster.
The only thing is that Kiffin can poke fun at Ohio State all he wants, but Ole Miss is also paying a lot of money in NIL and had one of the best transfer portal classes this offseason built with money.
Kiffin needs to calm down and let everything happen on the field. Ole Miss and Ohio State will only meet in the college football playoffs, and if they do meet, it will be interesting.
