Ryan Day delivered a blunt message before Ohio State begins Big Ten play against Illinois: The Buckeyes' running backs need to "run angry and run physical." Joe breaks down Day's challenge to Bo Jackson, Ja'Kobi Jackson and Isaiah West; Ohio State's continuing short-yardage problems; and the competition along the right side of the offensive line. Could Gabe VanSickle remain at right guard with Austin Siereveld at right tackle—even if Phillip Daniels returns? We also examine Julian Sayin's next developmental step, Brandon Inniss's growing role, the young defenders Ohio State wants to build around and Matt Patricia's search for a dependable pass rush. From the Illinois side, Bret Bielema's team enters Columbus with one of the country's most productive passing combinations. Quarterback Katin Houser and receiver Collin Dixon will test an Ohio State defense still trying to establish its identity after the collapse at Texas. Topics include: • Ryan Day's public challenge to the running backs • Bo Jackson versus Ja'Kobi Jackson • Ohio State's third-down and short-yardage failures • Gabe VanSickle, Austin Siereveld and Phillip Daniels • Julian Sayin's timing and Brandon Inniss's emergence • Riley Pettijohn, Jay Timmons and Ohio State's young defense • Katin Houser and Collin Dixon • Illinois's unstable offensive line • The Buckeyes' special-teams concerns Thursday, September 24, 2026 Join Kalshi and Get $10 Subscribe to the Podcast

What must Ohio State do to beat Texas for the third consecutive time? Number-one Ohio State travels to Austin for a top-five showdown against Arch Manning and the fourth-ranked Longhorns. Joe breaks down five keys to a Buckeye victory, beginning with an unsettled offensive line's attempt to contain elite Texas pass rusher Colin Simmons. Can Julian Sayin attack more aggressively than he did last season? How will Texas defend Jeremiah Smith? Can Devin McCuin and Brandon Inniss punish that extra attention? And will Matt Patricia make Manning uncomfortable again? We also examine Ohio State's need to contain Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman, generate disciplined pressure, establish a consistent running game and withstand the opening surge inside Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium. Joe finishes with his final score prediction for Ohio State–Texas. Friday, September 11, 2026 Join Kalshi and Get $10 Subscribe to the Podcast

Ohio State's wide receiver room looks much deeper than it did a year ago, but that creates a new question: who actually makes the six-man rotation?In this episode of The Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr break down the latest from Ryan Day on the Buckeyes' receiver depth chart and discuss which players are most likely to see meaningful snaps this season.The conversation starts with the six names Day has mentioned most prominently: Jeremiah Smith, Brandon Inniss, Devin McCuin, Chris Henry Jr., Brock Boyd and Phillip Bell. The guys also discuss where Kyle Parker fits as he works his way back, whether Dez Jones can force his way into the conversation, and why Ohio State's playable depth at receiver appears to be significantly better than it was last season.There's also discussion about why the transfer portal mattered so much for this room, how younger receivers can earn trust through blocking and special teams, and why Saturday's opener should give us our first real look at how Ohio State plans to mix and match its receivers.0:00 — Welcome to the Buckeye Weekly Podcast0:23 — How many wide receivers will Ohio State play?0:47 — Ryan Day says six receivers could be in the rotation1:10 — Phillip Bell's big opportunity1:38 — What young receivers have to do to earn more snaps2:47 — The six names Ryan Day mentioned3:14 — Why Ohio State's receiver depth is much better this year4:18 — Comparing this year's room to last season4:47 — David Adolph's role last year vs. this year5:51 — Why the transfer portal helped fix the depth problem6:34 — The danger of relying too heavily on young receivers7:24 — How different is this room from last year?8:38 — Ryan Day on Devin McCuin9:04 — Kyle Parker working his way back9:20 — Chris Henry Jr. and Brock Boyd continue to impress9:47 — Special teams could help determine the rotation10:04 — Brandon Inniss expecting a much bigger season10:37 — Jeremiah Smith on the new Brandon Inniss11:22 — What Saturday's receiver combinations could reveal11:54 — Watching where different receivers line up12:07 — How much will Ohio State show before Texas?12:34 — Final thoughts and BuckeyeInsiders.com13:39 — ClosingWho do you think makes Ohio State's six-man receiver rotation?

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?
