Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

Ohio State enters October with an unbeaten record, but several areas in which the Buckeyes still need to make substantial improvements. One is in short yardage, where the team is falling far short of head coach Ryan Day's stated goals.

So what has the team been doing to improve there? Why don't they utilize the quarterback sneak more? And why isn't Marvin Harrison, Jr. getting more touches?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Day, as well as defensive coordinator Jim Knowles on those questions, the challenge posed this weekend by Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa, and how the defense has improved in limiting explosive plays.

Ohio State's passing offense has shown signs of growth as new starting quarterback Kyle McCord begins to take ownership of the Buckeye attack. So where does McCord still have work to do, and where has he shown the most improvement?

The Ohio State Buckeyes still have a few spots to fill in their highly-ranked 2024 recruiting class, and they appear to have zeroed in on a top SEC defensive line commit as a new target.

Alex Gleitman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss OSU's pursuit of top-100 defensive lineman Amaris Williams, who is currently committed to the Florida Gators.

Ohio State's 17-14 win at Notre Dame was a thriller for the ages, as the Buckeyes scored the winning touchdown with just one second left on the clock. But was it the most exciting OSU football game in recent memory?

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr of BuckeyeHuddle.com break down where it ranks among some of the best games in recent decades in this episode of Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning.

Week 5 of the 2023 college football season isn't quite up to the lofty standards of week 4, but should include some very interesting matchups.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to look ahead at some of the games to watch including:

• Michigan heading west to face what could be its first test of the year
• Deion Sanders and Colorado looking to bounce back after getting shelled by Oregon
• The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry returning in what could be Georgia's toughest regular-season game
• And much more

For the last few years, Ohio State's defense has been the biggest obstacle standing between the Buckeyes and a national championship. However, Jim Knowles' 2023 unit just passed its first real test of the season, holding Notre Dame to just 14 points.

What did the Buckeyes do to keep the Irish to just two touchdowns?
