The Ohio State Buckeyes are ranked No. 1 in the nation, unbeaten halfway through the regular season, and the favorites to win another national championship. But there are still concerns about areas where the team needs to improve. 

One is the run game, where the Buckeyes ran for less than three yards per carry in a win over Illinois. So what's holding the OSU rushing attack back? Is is offensive line play? The lack of an elite back? Or is the coaching staff just not taking advantage of easy opportunities to work on areas where they need to improve?

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and much more.

Just a few weeks into the 2025 Big Ten football season, things are already getting crazy in the race for the conference championship game.

So are Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers and Ryan Day's Buckeyes the most likely teams to earn a spot in Indianapolis? And which teams will be waiting in the wings if Ohio State or Indiana slip up?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to run through all 11 teams still solidly in the conference title race and handicap which ones are most likely to face off the first weekend in December.

The Ohio State Buckeyes rushed for just 2.9 yards per carry at Illinois on Saturday, creating some concern around what was otherwise a solid road win over the 17th-ranked team in the nation.

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes handled their business on the road against No. 17 Illinois on Saturday afternoon, beating the Fighting Illini, 34-16.

Tight end Max Klare came to Ohio State off of a wildly impressive 2024 season, where he piled up 51 catches for 685 yards, and four touchdowns. Those are crazy numbers for a tight end, but when Klare got to Columbus, it was clear that he still had a long way to go. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and wide receiver Jeremiah Smith about how Klare has come so far, so fast this season. 

Plus, what to expect from Illinois star QB Luke Altmyer this Saturday, the potential rule change that could have a major impact on CJ Hicks' future, and more.

Through five games, the Ohio State Buckeyes' defense has allowed just two touchdowns, and opponents have yet to reach double-digits yet this season.
