Podcast appearances and mentions of Matt Patricia

The Ohio State Buckeyes are 1-0 on the 2025 college football season after knocking off top-ranked Texas, 14-7, on Saturday inside Ohio Stadium. After the game, there was a lot to talk about, ranging from the raucous crowd, to the stellar debut of new defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, to the starting debut of QB Julian Sayin. In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from OSU head coach Ryan Day to get his thoughts on those topics and more. 

The Ohio State Buckeyes started their national title defense off with a bang, knocking off top-ranked Texas, 14-7 in front of a raucous crowd inside Ohio Stadium.So what did we learn from the defensive slugfest, and what will it mean for the rest of the season? Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss Matt Patricia's dominating debut as defensive coordinator, Julian Sayin's efficient first start, and what it all means for the Buckeyes' and Longhorns' chances of meeting again later this season.

Things Discussed: Craig Ross introduces the MGoBlog Rub Some Dirt On It player of the week. What's the offense look like with Bryce? Not a spread, some RPO, some downfield passing, most of that off play-action. Opponents are going to bring safeties down—Oklahoma runs a Venables defense that wants to attack, so you have to punish that. Remember 2021 Georgia when JJ came in? He had some simple reads, but things opened up because he could physically get certain types of throws further downfield, increased the spacing between receivers. RPOs? Chip Lindsey's job is to make what you do work, not rewrite the offensive script. There will be tag RPOs where the read is more of a "run-unless"—it's not going to be like Stanford's long mesh where the read is the point. It's a check on bad behavior so they can do their thing, which is run off-tackle. Sam: Program philosophy isn't to allow the defense to set what you're going to do. Brian wants to see Bredeson used on those Aaron Shea dumpoffs more often because you freak out when he's coming your way. Mikey Keene? He's got a shoulder injury. You don't get to choose when the injury is healed; he will probably be the QB2 when he's back. Brady Norton: Not like last year. If they were down to two RGs and they were Efobi and Hattar and Norton won it would concern us, but it was Efobi-Norton two weeks ago. Concern is left tackle; they were talking about replacing Link with a true freshman before Babalola got hurt. Evan Link will start, Blake Frazier will play; Blake has to prove he's durable because he's coming off a knee injury, and he has to be stronger in the run game because he's 290-something. If Link isn't clear of Frazier right now that's an issue. DT depth chart: People were surprised that Trey Pierce was ahead of Damon Payne, but we've been saying that all offseason. You want that: Trey has eligibility next year and showed some talent. Opening weened for CFB: What's up with Ohio State and their new coordinators? Probably going to be fine with Hartline because he will just say throw it to Jeremiah Smith and…yeah that works. Matt Patricia has two great players in the back-seven but they are going to be just okay at D-tackle (I like the end they picked up from UNC). Maybe Matt Patricia is here to bottom out the culture, because as soon as he left Detroit and Philadelphia those locker rooms become two of the best in the NFL. Quick New Mexico preview: They have a 246 pound defensive tackle and a backfooting QB who's going to punt it up to a former Iowa receiver that might be injured.

One of the biggest games of the 2025 college football season is just days away as the Ohio State Buckeyes and Texas Longhorns get ready to face off inside Ohio Stadium in a matchup of the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the nation. In this super-sized episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear Buckeye Huddle's Xs and Os gurus, Ross Fulton and Justin Whitlatch breaking down what to expect during Saturday's showdown between the Buckeyes and Longhorns. How did Texas shut down Jeremiah Smith during the Cotton Bowl, can they do it again, and what will Ohio State do to make sure it doesn't happen on Saturday?Plus, how different will this season's Ohio State defense look under new defensive coordinator Matt Patricia? What will Texas' offensive mastermind Steve Sarkesian do to attack the Buckeyes, and how will the Longhorns' mega-hyped QB Arch Manning impact the game with both his arm and his legs? 

This is the time for Penn State football to win the National Championship. Most people picking the playoff have Penn State going to the national semifinals. Matt Patricia is Ohio State's new defensive coordinator and replaces Jim Knowles, who went to Penn State.

Matt Patricia is just over a week away from his first game as Ohio State's defensive coordinator, and it is going to be a big one. The top-ranked Texas Longhorns are coming to Columbus to face No. 2 Ohio State in one of the most-anticipated non-conference matchups in years. Patricia has a long history with the Manning family from his days with the New England Patriots, but this will be his first matchup with mega-hyped Texas QB Arch Manning. Patricia discussed what he knows about Arch, what he's learned from previous Manning matchups, and much more. You'll hear it all directly from him in this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.
