Will Julian Sayin Run More in 2026? Ohio State QB Run Game Debate | Buckeye WeeklyOn the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, hosts Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr respond to a listener question about Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin using his legs and whether Ryan Day might force a “square peg into a round hole.” They argue the goal isn't to build the offense around quarterback runs, but to create an implied threat—occasional scrambles or keeps on reads—to make defenses account for the QB and help the run game. They discuss how a few key runs, like Carson Beck's against Ohio State, can swing outcomes, and note Sayin is mobile enough to pick up critical first downs without being a power runner. They also touch on sacks impacting rushing totals, suggest more run reads and selective early-season reps, and speculate on a season-high carries over/under around five.00:00 Weekend Mailbag Intro00:56 Julian Legs Concern02:27 Threat Not Feature05:08 Carson Beck Example10:09 More Reads RPOs11:51 Arthur Smith Run Game13:19 Carries Over Under15:00 Wrap Up Subscribe

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.

"I said to my wife literally yesterday: for the first time in 60 years — I just turned 60 — I feel like I've found my true calling."Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! In this episode, host Dan Irvin kicks off a new format — sitting down with real speakers who are a step or two ahead of you, because the fastest way to figure out your next move is to connect with someone living it right now. First up: Danny Karon, a "lovable lawyer" who spent 35 years succeeding at traditional law before walking away from it to build something nobody else is building.Danny calls it legal wellness — the unaddressed fourth pillar alongside physical, emotional, and financial wellness. There's a Dr. Phil for your mind and a Suze Orman for your money, but nobody teaching everyday people how to stay out of legal trouble before it starts. Danny is betting his next chapter on that open lane: a new book, a TEDx talk written for the stage, and teaching gigs at Ohio State and the University of Michigan (yes, both — they can coexist).But this conversation doesn't sugarcoat the pivot. Danny is candid about the part nobody warned him about: he thought that because he could speak, the business side would slide right into place. Instead he got the cold-outreach runaround — bounced between university offices, told "the students organize their own events," hearing crickets. He and Dan get tactical about where the breakdown is, why recurring events like orientation week are a goldmine hiding in plain sight, and how to make people care about a topic they've never heard of.Whether you're sitting in a safe career feeling pulled toward a message you can't shake, or you're mid-pivot and hitting the same walls Danny is, this episode is a masterclass in committing to a new lane before the world understands it!You'll learn:What "legal wellness" actually is — and why the lane is wide openThe two observations from 35 years of law practice that triggered Danny's pivotHow playing the long game with relationships landed him teaching gigs at Columbia, Ohio State, and MichiganWhat writing a TEDx talk taught Danny about his real message (hint: it's not the law — it's agency, ownership, and control)The honest financial reality check you need before leaping from a stable careerWhy "men and women ages 18 to 65" is not an audience — and how Danny niched down to college studentsWhere cold outreach to large institutions actually breaks down, and how to find the real decision makerWhy a missed orientation week isn't a missed opportunity — it's next year's pitchHow to frame a brand-new topic so prospects care about something they've never heard ofThe "Trojan horse" strategy: pitching where event planners already book speakers on adjacent themesAnd much, much more!"You never know what you're gonna find, but I do know that the only certainty is in doing nothing. And that means I have no choice but to succeed."Feeling pulled toward a message you can't shake? Don't spend another year sitting on it.

Ohio State lost 13-10 to Indiana in the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game, but the final score only tells part of the story.

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
