⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ Ohio State's defense isn't pointing fingers — it's taking ownership. Ahead of the Cotton Bowl showdown with Miami, Buckeye defenders made one thing crystal clear: they're angry, unsatisfied, and ready to respond. We break down key quotes from Matt Patricia, Sonny Styles, Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Lorenzo Styles Jr., and unanimous All-American Kayden McDonald, including McDonald's bold statement that he doesn't believe anyone can block him. Patricia dives into how Ohio State weaponizes Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese on third down, players explain how the Indiana loss brought the team closer, and multiple defenders detail why this now feels like a one-game season. This episode covers: Why Ohio State's defense feels it got outplayed — despite allowing just 13 points How Matt Patricia builds flexibility, trust, and disguise into the scheme Kayden McDonald's confidence, conditioning, and leadership in the trenches Why frustration has turned into fuel heading into Miami What this defense sees on Miami's offense — and why they're excited for the challenge The Buckeyes are back on the field with everything on the line — and this defense sounds ready to lead the way.
In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, hosts Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman discuss their evening of interviews with the defensive side of Ohio State's ball. On Monday, they spoke with defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, linebacker Sonny Styles, defensive back Lorenzo Styles, Jr., defensive end Kenyatta Jackson, and defensive tackle Kayden McDonald. The common theme was how much of an impact Patricia has made on the entire team.
Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese was a dynamic pass rush threat through much of the season, but his role has changed as the Buckeyes have faced quarterbacks like Michigan's Bryce Underwood and Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, who present a run threat in addition to passing. However, with Miami Hurricanes QB Carson Beck on deck in the Cotton Bowl, that could free up Reese to go back to more of an attacking role for OSU defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from Patricia about that and much more.

Ohio State was supposed to be a little bit worse this year. That's technically true, sort of, as the Buckeyes enter the Playoff at a mere 12-1 after a missed 27-yard field goal cost them overtime in the Big Ten Championship. Everyone was wrong about Matt Patricia, and this team could win it all again. Thanks to Modelo, the Official Beer Sponsor of the College Football Playoff. Modelo: Drink responsibly.

Matt Patricia's Ohio State defense held Indiana to just 13 points and one touchdown in the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game, but there is still room for improvement as the Buckeyes prepare for the College Football Playoff and a quarterfinal showdown with the winner of the Texas A&M Aggies and the Miami Hurricanes. Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com, breaks down eight plays from the Big Ten title game that illustrate what went right for the OSU defense, and where they need to improve before the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Eve.
