The start of Big Ten conference play provides a good opportunity to take stock of where things stand for Ohio State through three games of the 2025 season.
Things have generally been rolling for the No. 1 Buckeyes, who notched a 14-7 win over then-No. 1, now No. 10 Texas and blew out both Grambling State and Ohio as expected. Defensive coordinator Matt Patricia has settled into Columbus like a lifelong resident, and thus far, it looks like the Buckeyes will boast one of the nation’s best defenses again this year.
But no team in college football, hell, any level of football, is completely refined three games into its season.
