Ohio State coach Tom Ryan was hospitalized Tuesday with non-life-threatening injuries sustained in a car wreck on his drive to campus.

Ohio State enters this weekend’s Big Ten Championships without a top-seeded wrestler for the first time since 2011.

Tom Ryan hasn’t had the Ohio State lineup he might have envisioned eight months ago, but his Buckeyes navigated their way through the dual season filled with unexpected obstacles.

Dylan D’Emilio has been in this position before.

It’s been a wild ride filled with upsets of both varieties for Nic Bouzakis during his first season as a full-time starter at Ohio State, but the freshman is on the upswing once again.

Sixth-ranked Ohio State has bounced back nicely since its December defeat against Pittsburgh, winning seven straight duals and disposing of its first three Big Ten opponents by a 25-point average margin of victory.

The Covelli Center crowd erupted last week when Nick Feldman scored a last-minute takedown that lifted Ohio State to a victory against Cornell in a top-10 dual clash.

Tom Ryan believes losses have the potential to serve as wake-up calls — lessons his wrestlers would prefer learning differently.

The sting of Ohio State’s upset home loss to Pittsburgh didn’t sour Tom Ryan’s perspective.
