The Silver Bulletin’s Blake Biscardi and Grant Kincaid recap Ohio State football’s Spring Game and share what they’ve learned about the 2026 Buckeyes position group by position group.

Biscardi and Kincaid discuss which players flashed during the Scarlet vs Gray Spring Game, and just how much you should read into Saturday’s performance as injuries played a factor. Still, there’s a lot to learn and be encouraged from as Ohio State continues to gel as a team, with 51 new players.

Quarterback Tavien St. Clair and true freshman wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. had the best days offensively. However, Saturday belonged to the Defense, beating the Offense 35-26, in a strong showing for Matt Patricia’s unit.

On this episode of Buckeye Cadence, the conversation turns to the 2026 season outlook, starting with Ohio State’s win total at 9.5. Over or under? Blake Biscardi and Grant Kincaid work through the schedule, the notable road tests at Texas, Iowa, Indiana, and USC, the home matchups against Oregon and Michigan, and make their case.

Unit Debate: Blake’s most intrigued by the defensive line as the talent is there, but can it perform at the level this program expects? Grant’s eyes are on the wide receiver room, where depth and development will show how far Arthur Smith’s offense can go in year 1.

Arthur Smith has been talking about Jeremiah Smith, saying he carries himself like a veteran, not a college kid, and that maturity will matter as much as his talent in 2026. While at quarterback, Arthur Smith wants to give Julian Sayin more responsibility at the line of scrimmage. Blake and Grant weigh in if that the right move at this stage of Sayin’s development.
