The Ohio State Buckeyes held their second practice of 2025 spring football on Wednesday, giving us another look at how the team is working to replace the departed stars of its 2024 national championship team.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss what they saw and what they learned inside practice at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, as well as talking to Ohio State's quarterbacks and running backs following practice. 

What's the latest on the battle for the starting quarterback job between Julian Sayin, Lincoln Kienholz, and Tavien St. Clair? And how are James Peoples, CJ Donaldson, and the rest of the running back room working to replace departed stars TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins?

The Ohio State Buckeyes will be back on the practice field again on Wednesday for the second practice of the spring, and positional battles will continue playing out all around the field.

But while spots like quarterback will likely only have one winner, the Buckeyes have shown that they're willing to split carries at running back to keep players there fresh for the long season. With TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins now off to the NFL, will they run it back with the running back tandem this year with players like James Peoples and CJ Donaldson?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answer to that and much more directly from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day.

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Fessler about those three quarterbacks, what traits he's looking for in a starter, what he learned working under Chip Kelly last fall, and much more.

Ohio State running backs coach Carlos Locklyn had an immensely successful first season in Columbus, with both TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins reaching 1,000 yards on the ground, and the Buckeyes winning a national title. 

Now, with those two standouts off to the NFL, his room is going to be young, but talented. Can sophomore James Peoples be the leader of that group on and off the field? 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Locklyn on the young backs who could be up next in Columbus, his assessment of whether he's an elite recruiter, and much more.

The Ohio State men's basketball team just crashed out of the Big Ten Tournament in the first round, likely killing their NCAA Tournament hopes. 

The Buckeyes haven't made it past the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament since 2013, spanning three head coaches. So what's wrong with Buckeye basketball, and why can't the program seem to get back on track?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of the issues facing the program, and why seemingly simple solutions might not be so easy in reality.

The Ohio State defensive line is going to have a very different look in 2025 following the departures of JT Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Tyelik Williams, and Ty Hamilton to the NFL and Hero Kanu and Mitchell Melton to the transfer portal. 

That makes spring practice a particularly important time for Larry Johnson's room, and potential new starters like Kenyatta Jackson, Caden Curry, Kayden McDonald, and Eddrick Houston. But other players like CJ Hicks and Jason Moore are also in the mix for bigger roles along the line this year. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Larry Johnson about some of those players who are on the verge of taking on bigger roles, and much more.

The Ohio State football team is set to open its 2025 spring practice schedule on Monday, March 17. It will be the first time the full team participates in an official practice since winning the national championship over Notre Dame in Atlanta back in January. 

While a lot of positions are up for grabs on the Buckeyes' two-deep, one of the biggest areas of interest for Ohio State fans involves the return of sophomore wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, and what his second season in Columbus could look like. 

Ohio State offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline addressed that and much more during a recent interview, and you're going to get to hear what he had to say on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

Ryan Day gave a very detailed and very interesting answer last week when discussing the thought process behind the hire of Ohio State's new defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. 

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru from BuckeyeHuddle.com, joins host Tom Orr to discuss Day's rationale, and what it could mean for the 2025 Ohio State football team. 

• How Nick Saban's offensive coordinators at Alabama could serve as a model for Ryan Day's defensive coordinator hires, including Patricia, at Ohio State.
• How the Buckeyes need to keep evolving on defense, and how Patricia's diverse style of fronts could put OSU's players in a position to be successful.
• How Patricia and co-coordinator Tim Walton will work together, specializing in the front end and back end of the defense. 
• The importance of continuity on the defensive staff, and why it was significant that Patricia was willing to work with the existing Ohio State defensive staff.
