In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, we answer fake-but-very-real Miami fan mailbag questions, responding to the loudest takes coming from Canes Twitter, YouTube, and everywhere in between. We break down: Miami's confidence vs Ohio State's résumé The trench matchup nobody wants to talk about Why social media hype doesn't win playoff games And which Miami arguments actually deserve respect This one's fun. This one's honest. And yes… Miami fans are welcome in the comments.

In this special holiday episode, we hand out imaginary (but extremely necessary) Christmas gifts to every member of Ohio State's coaching staff — from Ryan Day and Matt Patricia to Larry Johnson, Brian Hartline, and the rest of the crew. These aren't normal gifts. These are play-calling stress relievers, recruiting survival tools, defensive disguises, OL protection fantasies, and pure college football absurdity — all tailored to each coach's personality, role, and season.

⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ Ohio State's defense isn't pointing fingers — it's taking ownership. Ahead of the Cotton Bowl showdown with Miami, Buckeye defenders made one thing crystal clear: they're angry, unsatisfied, and ready to respond. We break down key quotes from Matt Patricia, Sonny Styles, Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Lorenzo Styles Jr., and unanimous All-American Kayden McDonald, including McDonald's bold statement that he doesn't believe anyone can block him. Patricia dives into how Ohio State weaponizes Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese on third down, players explain how the Indiana loss brought the team closer, and multiple defenders detail why this now feels like a one-game season. This episode covers: Why Ohio State's defense feels it got outplayed — despite allowing just 13 points How Matt Patricia builds flexibility, trust, and disguise into the scheme Kayden McDonald's confidence, conditioning, and leadership in the trenches Why frustration has turned into fuel heading into Miami What this defense sees on Miami's offense — and why they're excited for the challenge The Buckeyes are back on the field with everything on the line — and this defense sounds ready to lead the way.

VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ Ohio State is making a major offensive adjustment heading into the College Football Playoff — and it starts at the top. Head coach Ryan Day confirmed Monday that he's reclaiming offensive play-calling duties as the Buckeyes prepare to face the Miami Hurricanes in the Cotton Bowl quarterfinal. With Brian Hartline balancing multiple responsibilities, Day is streamlining the operation and leaning on a collaborative staff approach as the stakes rise. In this episode of the Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down: Why Ryan Day is taking back play-calling for the CFP How Brian Hartline's role is changing — not disappearing What Julian Sayin admitted about sacks, decision-making, and Miami's pass rush Why the offensive line is treating the Indiana loss as a reset point Jeremiah Smith's health update, mindset, and pointed message toward Miami The renewed edge, urgency, and playoff intensity inside the Ohio State Buckeyes offense This isn't panic — it's playoff recalibration. Ohio State believes it knows exactly what went wrong — and what needs to change — before New Year's Eve.

In this episode of the Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down Miami Hurricanes' 10–3 College Football Playoff win over Texas A&M Aggies and what it tells us about the matchup Ohio State will see on New Year's Eve. We dig into how Miami: Won the battle in the trenches Generated seven sacks and three turnovers Leaned on Mark Fletcher Jr. to control the fourth quarter Trusted freshman Malachi Toney after a late fumble Closed the game with two Bryce Fitzgerald interceptions Survived an all-time ugly CFP game — and still advanced This wasn't a fluke or a lucky break. Miami played playoff football — physical, disciplined, and relentless — and now they head to the Cotton Bowl to face Ohio State Buckeyes. What does this performance tell us about Miami's identity? Why does their dominance at the line of scrimmage matter against Ohio State? And what has to change for the Buckeyes to control this matchup? We cover it all — and set the stage for Ohio State vs. Miami.
