Has Ryan Day finally built the Ohio State football team he's always wanted? After years of elite quarterbacks, NFL receivers, Big Ten championships, Michigan battles, and a national title, the 2026 Buckeyes may be the most complete roster of the Ryan Day era. In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, we examine how Ohio State evolved after the Michigan losses, why the additions of Arthur Smith and Matt Patricia matter, the development of Julian Sayin, the veteran offensive line led by Carson Hinzman, Luke Montgomery and Austin Siereveld, and why this roster looks built for championship football. Is this finally Ryan Day's ideal team?

Why do so many former NFL players want their sons to play for Ohio State? In this episode of the Daily Buckeye Blitz, we examine why Ohio State has become one of the most trusted destinations for NFL families. From Marvin Harrison Jr., Joey and Nick Bosa, Cameron Heyward, Sonny Styles and Lorenzo Styles Jr. to the next generation of recruits like Wyatt Smith, Gaige Weddle, Burton Robinson and Gabriel Vinatieri, the Buckeyes continue attracting players from football royalty. We discuss Ohio State's "Developed Here" culture, NFL-level coaching staff, player development, recruiting success and why former NFL stars believe Columbus is one of the best paths to professional football.

Indiana stunned Ohio State 13-10 in the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game, exposing major weaknesses in the Buckeyes' offensive line, red-zone offense, and short-yardage execution. Now the teams meet again in 2026. Can Josh Hoover replace Fernando Mendoza? Will Indiana's defensive front continue to create problems for Ohio State? And have Ryan Day, Arthur Smith, Julian Sayin, and a veteran offensive line fixed the issues that cost the Buckeyes a conference championship? In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down Indiana's roster, key returning players, portal additions, and what has changed since last December's shocking result.

Ohio State lost 13-10 to Indiana in the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game, but the final score only tells part of the story. The Buckeyes outgained Indiana, moved the football effectively, and got a solid performance from quarterback Julian Sayin. So how did Ohio State lose? In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we revisit the game and examine what Indiana exposed about Ohio State's offense. From offensive line breakdowns and pass protection issues to red-zone failures and questionable personnel decisions, the Hoosiers revealed weaknesses that nearly derailed Ohio State's season. Most importantly, have the Buckeyes fixed those problems heading into the 2026 rematch? Topics include:

What OSU Needs to Win the National Title: O-Line, Julian Sayin, Run Game & Defense | Buckeye WeeklyOn the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss results from Tony's Twitter poll asking fans to finish, “Ohio State will win a national championship this year if ___.” The most common response was improved offensive line play (about 55–60%), driven by late-season issues like pass protection and lack of a running game. They also highlight Julian Sayin's ability to make plays, process quickly, and add situational mobility, plus a better running game through broken tackles and incremental improvements from young backs. Defense was a smaller share of answers (about 10–15%), with the view that it only needs to remain close to last year's historically strong standard under Matt Patricia. They also touch on Ryan Day, play-calling, and the addition of Arthur Smith to help address offensive consistency.00:00 Stormy Show Opener00:45 Championship If Question01:56 Offensive Line Top Concern04:01 Julian Sayin Mobility06:33 Running Game Breakthroughs11:21 Defense Expectations15:20 Ryan Day and Arthur Smith19:58 Wrap Up and Subscribe

Are we not talking enough about the impact first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is going to have at Ohio State this year? That is the main topic of conversation on today's show with Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle. Also on the docket: * Who will blink first in the "CFP standoff" between Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti and SEC commish Greg Sankey? Petitti wants a 24-team field. And if he doesn't get it, he will elect to keep the CFP at 12 teams. A 16-team CFP is off the table as far as the Big Ten is concerned. It's either 24 or 12. * What do we expect from Payton Pierce this season as he takes over as the Buckeyes' starting middle linebacker? How do we feel about the LB room overall? * We get JBook's prediction of who will finish second and third on Ohio State's team in receptions and receiving yards this season. All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
