Ohio-based analyst: $10 diesel possible

When truck stops and gas stations erected their signs, they didn’t anticipate needing two digits before the decimal point. But an Ohio-based data analyst who used to work in the energy industry says it’s a distinct possibility that they’ll need to find one for diesel. As President Donald Trump’s war with Iran has continued, the rising cost of diesel fuel has been felt by all consumers, even if they don’t buy diesel fuel at the pump. That’s because 96.8% of commercial semi-trucks, nearly all U.S. freight trains, and virtually all cargo ships are powered by diesel or its ...

Big Red hands Tigers their first loss since August

Day praises Buckeyes’ improved run game, defense

COLUMBUS (AP) — While standout receiver Jeremiah Smith continues to make headlines for No. 5 Ohio State, coach Ryan Day is focused on other things as the Buckeyes approach the midpoint of the regular season. Three of Day's priorities came up early in his weekly news conference Tuesday, and he had positive things to say about two of them. Ohio State rushed for 160 yards in a 35-14 win at Iowa on Saturday. That number would have been more impressive if not for sacks that cost the Buckeyes 29 yards, but it was still 9 more than Ohio State managed a week earlier against Illinois. Day ...
