A lot of the immediate reaction to the performance of Ohio State's offense against Kent State was wrong. That's one of the things Ross Fulton, one of the Scheme Insiders at BuckeyeInsiders.com, took away after breaking down the film following the game.In this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, he discusses the Buckeyes' use of quick-game, the Bison package, and what is (and isn't) working for Arthur Smith's offense in short-yardage situations.Today's episode is presented by Jeff Ruby's Columbus, proudly offering nationally-acclaimed U.S.D.A.

The Steelers offense was better under Matt Canada and Arthur Smith in their first two Steelers games than Mike McCarthy. The Steelers haven't been this bad offensively 2001! Pitt fans are mad at Joe for saying it's not really possible for Pitt to be a consistent national power.
We like to say around these parts that coaching matters more in football than any other sport. (And it matters a lot in every sport.) Today's show with Dave Biddle and Patrick Murphy takes a close look at Ohio State's coaching staff, including first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, second-year DC Matt Patricia and eighth-year head coach Ryan Day. Patrick thinks Day is getting too much flak after the Texas lossand explains why. Dave thinks a lot of the criticism is fair, but also believes Day can right the ship. That and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish. (2:00) - Intro (2:55) - Thoughts on Arthur Smith thus far (5:40) - Matt Patricia not being aggressive enough (11:27) - Pat defends Ryan Day; Dave pushes back (20:32) - Why say it's going to be a 4th-quarter game? (23:42) - Day's clock management is poor (30:00) - Good news on injury front
Ohio State led Texas 23–3 before the Longhorns scored touchdowns on their final three possessions and completed a stunning 24–23 comeback. In this Texas game rewatch, Joe breaks down what the film reveals about Ohio State's offense, Julian Sayin's missed opportunities, Arthur Smith's play-calling, the defensive collapse, Matt Patricia's pressure plan and Ryan Day's late-game decisions. The episode also focuses on six young Buckeyes who deserve expanded roles: Khary Wilder Riley Pettijohn T.J. Alford Legend Bey Brock Boyd Chris Henry Jr. Jay Timmons has already shown what can happen when Ohio State trusts a talented young player. Now the Buckeyes need to decide whether more upside is available elsewhere on the roster. Wednesday, September 16, 2026 Join Kalshi and Get $10 Subscribe to the Podcast
Ohio State led Texas 23–3 but scored only three points after halftime in a crushing 24–23 loss in Austin. What happened to the Buckeyes' offense when the Longhorns adjusted? Joe breaks down Ohio State's offensive PFF grades and snap counts, Julian Sayin's dramatic second-half decline, Jeremiah Smith's dominant performance, the ineffective running game and the red-zone opportunities the Buckeyes wasted. We also examine every meaningful possession after Ohio State took its 20-point lead—including two disastrous three-and-outs that gained seven combined yards and the questionable third-down decision before the missed field goal. Was the collapse caused by Arthur Smith's play calling, poor execution or Ryan Day's game-management philosophy? The uncomfortable answer is that all three played a role.

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes and No. 4 Texas Longhorns are getting set for one of the biggest games on the 2026 college football schedule, and one of the most intriguing chess matches will be between new Ohio State offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and new Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp. In this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, BuckeyeInsiders.com scheme insider Ross Fulton breaks down some of the concepts Muschamp is known for, what he showed during week one against Texas State, and some things the Buckeyes can try to take advantage of what Muschamp might do.Today's episode is presented by Jeff Ruby's Columbus, proudly offering nationally-acclaimed U.S.D.A.

In today's episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Ross Fulton, one of the Scheme Insiders from BuckeyeInsiders.com, joins host Tom Orr to discuss three things he's expecting to see from the Ohio State offense, as well as three areas of concern. Here's what he's expecting:More Making Plays Look Alike: To paraphrase the late great football coach Homer Smith, a key to offensive football is making plays look alike. If a defense can tell one play from another, they can play fast. If all your plays look alike, they have to play slow. To that end, I expect that Arthur Smith will do a better job layering plays together compared to the Ohio State offense last season. The run game will be based off a few core concepts—particularly outside zone and duo—and may use fewer concepts than last season. But Smith will build more play action and bootleg concepts off of those run plays. This should allow Ohio State's offense to be more explosive, as an effective run game with play action can force teams out of using cone coverage against Jeremiah Smith and open holes behind linebackers.More Under Center: To accomplish point 1 above, I expect more under center from Ohio State. In addition to providing the offense the ability to run the same play in either direction, under center aids play action in that the quarterback turns his back to the defense and the fake can be more drawn out. In addition, while Julian Sayin is not a real run threat on designed quarterback runs or run reads—lessening the value of shotgun to the offense—he is mobile enough and throws well on the run such that he is effective off bootleg action. Notably, Sayin was effective off bootlegs in the second half last year against Indiana, as teams were often overplaying the run action. While I certainly do not expect the shotgun to go away—it remains effective for run-pass-options—I do believe that under-center will be a more heavily featured part of the offense.More Quick Game: I likewise think that Smith will take advantage of Sayin's skill-set by using more underneath quick game concepts such as slants, hitches, and quick outs. Such an emphasis would be consistent with Ryan Day's focus on putting receivers in a position where they can gain yards after the catch.Today's episode is presented by Jeff Ruby's Columbus, proudly offering nationally-acclaimed U.S.D.A.

Ryan Day says Ohio State's offense is going to be fun in 2026. But what exactly does that mean?In this episode of The Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr break down what Day means when he talks about a fun offense — and why the Buckeyes may be positioned to deliver one.The discussion starts with explosiveness in the running game and the expectation that Bo Jackson, Isaiah West and Legend Bey can turn ordinary gains into much bigger plays. The guys also look at how Arthur Smith plans to involve players like Jeremiah Smith and Brandon Inniss, why the offense should be harder for defenses to predict, and how multiple plays can build off the same looks.They also get into the offensive line, where Carson Hinzman says Smith has brought a sense of “tangible violence” to the running game, and why a more physical, efficient and explosive offense could be a lot more enjoyable for everybody involved — especially Ohio State fans.0:00 — Welcome to the Buckeye Weekly Podcast0:10 — Ryan Day is promising a “fun” offense0:18 — What does a fun offense actually mean?1:08 — Explosive plays make football more fun2:05 — Ryan Day expects more big plays from the running backs2:44 — Rewatchability and what makes an offense entertaining3:27 — Arthur Smith's plan to get everyone involved4:37 — Why Brandon Inniss believes the plan is real5:10 — Building plays off plays5:53 — Why frustrating the defense is part of the fun7:22 — “Tangible violence” on the offensive line8:27 — If the offensive line is having fun, that's a good sign9:46 — Remembering explosive Ohio State offenses of the past10:22 — Can this Buckeye offense become one of those?11:00 — Final thoughts and BuckeyeInsiders.com11:34 — ClosingWhat would make this Ohio State offense “fun” for you?
