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 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.

Ohio State fans have plenty to debate before the 2026 season kicks off. In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz Mailbag, we're tackling some of the biggest questions facing the Buckeyes heading into fall camp.
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

Ohio State enters the 2026 season with one of the most experienced and accomplished quarterbacks in college football, yet Julian Sayin still feels underrated nationally. After leading the nation in completion percentage, finishing fourth in Heisman Trophy voting, throwing for 3,610 yards and 32 touchdowns, and earning the highest PFF passing grade in college football, Sayin is entering the critical second year of his development under Ryan Day. In this episode, we examine why Year 2 is often when elite quarterbacks make their biggest jump, what national analysts and NFL scouts are saying about Sayin, how Arthur Smith could unlock another level in Ohio State's offense, and why the Buckeyes may already have the best quarterback in the country.

The Buckeyes managed just 272 total yards, averaged only 4.3 yards per play, and struggled to establish the run game. So how did Ohio State win comfortably? Matt Patricia's defense dominated, forcing three turnovers and holding Illinois to just 47 rushing yards. In today's episode, we go back and rewatch Ohio State's win over Illinois to uncover what really happened and why the Fighting Illini could be a much tougher challenge in 2026. We'll discuss:
