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.

Ohio State lost 13-10 to Indiana in the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game, but the final score only tells part of the story. The Buckeyes outgained Indiana, moved the football effectively, and got a solid performance from quarterback Julian Sayin. So how did Ohio State lose? 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. Most importantly, have the Buckeyes fixed those problems heading into the 2026 rematch? Topics include:

Ohio State enters the 2026 season as the consensus No. 1 team in college football, but the biggest reason the Buckeyes could win another national championship may not be Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, or even Ryan Day. In this episode of the Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down why roster depth could be Ohio State's greatest advantage. From Tavien St. Clair and Bo Jackson to Devin Sanchez, Eddrick Houston, Kenyatta Jackson Jr., and an elite secondary, the Buckeyes have talent stacked throughout the roster. Can Ohio State survive the brutal road trips to Texas, Iowa, Indiana, and USC while making another playoff run? Let's dive in.

Happy Monday! Brandon Beam is in with Austin Ward for this edition of the Buckeye Show. We open with how our week at the Memorial Tournament went and Ryan Day getting inducted into the New Hampshire Hall of Fame. We react to the news of Brendan Sorsby getting a ruling from a judge to give him eligibility. What does a fully healthy offensive line do for the growth in Ohio State's offense? We go on the recruiting trail with Mick Walker of Lettermen Row. We do some buy/sell in the College Football Pulse. It's a Three Thoughts Monday taking us to Summer Camp at Ohio State. #Buckeyes and more!

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

Should Ohio State Have the Big Ten's Best Offense in 2026? Tempo, Efficiency, and a Tougher ScheduleTony Gerdeman and Tom Orr open by promoting Tony's new “Time and Change Will Surely Show” podcast on Buckeye Insiders, then shift to whether Ohio State should have the Big Ten's best offense this season and what could limit it. They discuss how Ohio State's pace has slowed under Ryan Day to reduce wear and injury exposure, making efficiency more important, and note last year's offense dropped to fifth in Big Ten scoring and was only four points per game better than Iowa. With a deeper roster, a veteran quarterback and play-caller, and more challenging games (including trips to Texas, Iowa, Indiana, USC, and Nebraska plus Oregon and Michigan at home), they debate whether OSU must be more aggressive while recognizing stronger defenses may cap the numbers.00:00 Welcome and Banter00:21 New Podcast Announcement01:06 Quarterback Episode Breakdown02:13 Subscribe and Website Launch03:16 Will OSU Lead Big Ten Offense04:06 Tempo Versus Efficiency06:31 Depth and Injury Management07:51 Schedule Forces Aggression10:38 Last Year Scoring Reality Check11:43 Why Offense Improves in 202613:53 Wrap Up and Call to Action

Fleck, Matt Rhule, Jedd Fisch, Bob Chesney, Bret Bielema, and Lincoln Riley.

Heath starts hour 2 looking at recruiting with Greg Smith from Rivals, and some foolish remarks from the MAC commissioner. We then talk Ohio State and the Big 10 with Beau Bishop from 97.1 The Fan. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Topics include:

College football has changed forever.Not just because athletes can now earn money, but because 18, 19 and 20-year-olds are suddenly being asked to make decisions that most adults still struggle to navigate.That's why this conversation hit different.Welcome to the latest episode of Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth, fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.In advance of the Elite 11 Finals, I sat down with Ohio State offensive lineman Luke Montgomery, Georgia quarterback Ryan Montgomery, and Dane Burkholder — a partner at Roseville Wealth, where he and his team manage over 2.1 Billion dollars every year. Dane also coined the phrase and founded the company The Financial Athlete.Today's guests unpack the new reality in college football: The Rise of the Financial Athlete, and the way an All-American offensive lineman in Columbus and his quarterback brother in Athens navigate it all.For those seeking to surround themselves with athletic minds who are succeeding in the Financial Athlete world of college football — look no further than these two, and Dane, for role models.To be blunt: athletes and parents need to listen to this.The Montgomery brothers didn't just talk about contracts or NIL deals — they talked about patience. Discipline. Delayed gratification. Building a trusted circle. Protecting their future. And understanding that money can either become a blessing…or a distraction.In other words, they used football analogies and applied them to their business life. As they should.Luke opened up about what it's really like navigating the NIL era at a powerhouse like Ohio State — and how head coach Ryan Day embraces his responsibility to impact his team off the field when it comes to balancing football, expectations, leadership and real financial accountability at an incredibly young age.Ryan shared why development mattered more than chasing the biggest payday when he chose Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs, and how keeping the bigger picture in focus has shaped every decision he's made since arriving in Athens.What stood out most to me was their perspective.Throughout our conversation, I kept thinking about what all of us who love sports so often preach — that the skills that allow you to find success on the field will always transition into life.And that is exactly where Dane Burkholder and his education around being a Financial Athlete meets the moment. Dane's team and their content continues to impact this generation of athletes, parents and coaches in ways that are helping athletes on countless levels.Join THE HONOR ROLL campaign. Free Newsletter + Fun Gifts.As our conversation wound down, I was struck by how consistently Luke and Ryan kept thinking 20, 30, even 40 years ahead.About setting up their future families.About investing instead of reacting emotionally.About understanding that football won't last forever.And maybe most importantly, they spoke about the power of environment.The right coaches. The right teammates. The right family. The right mentors.Or as my father still tells me: “You are the company you keep.”This episode will resonate with athletes, parents, recruits and honestly anyone navigating pressure, opportunity and long-term decision-making.Because the truth is, The Financial Athlete isn't just a football conversation anymore.It's a life conversation.It's also Elite 11 Finals week — where every quarterback, parent and mentor will have seen this podcast and will get to be part of our powerful curriculum, Beyond the X's and O's, which we've been running for nearly 20 years.The people who taught Luke and Ryan how to navigate life from day one — Mom and Dad — will be special guests in an intimate conversation with Dane and me, going behind the scenes on how they raised their sons to thrive on the field while staying so level-headed off it, as Financial Athletes at two of the most pressure-packed universities in the nation.I can't wait for this one — as a college football analyst and as a parent.Be sure to subscribe to Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth to get it right in your inbox, and on YouTube as we continue to grow our community.Much love and stay steady, YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, we introduce a new game called “Bed or Built,” where we take some of college football’s most repeated narratives and decide whether it’s time to put them to bed or if they’re still built to last. With the 2026 season creeping closer, we sort through the stories that have followed programs, coaches and fan bases for years, and ask which ones still make sense in the current version of the sport. We dig into Mario Cristobal and Miami, Matt Rhule’s turnaround reputation, Lane Kiffin’s chaos factor, Ryan Day’s “born on third base” label, Texas A&M’s hard ceiling, Oregon’s late-season hurdle, Clemson’s attempts to adapt, James Franklin’s big-game baggage and the difficulty of following Nick Saban at Alabama. Along the way, we get into the transfer portal, coaching hires, College Football Playoff expectations, roster-building, fan perception and how quickly old narratives can become outdated.
