Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The Ohio State Buckeyes didn't just beat their archrivals from Michigan on Saturday, they physically dominated the Wolverines, pushing them around on their own field, on a snowy day that seemed well-suited for what Michigan's Sherrone Moore wants to do. 

So how did Ryan Day's Buckeyes do it? And what could that mean as the Buckeyes shift their sights to the postseason?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss all of that and more.

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes are arriving at their team hotel early Friday evening in preparation for their annual showdown with archrival Michigan.

The team from BuckeyeHuddle.com is live on the ground near Ann Arbor and will talk to OSU head coach Ryan Day one final time before The Game kicks off on Saturday.

The top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will take on their archrivals, the Michigan Wolverines Saturday at noon inside Michigan Stadium.

A perfect season and a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game are on the line for the Buckeyes, while Michigan is looking to make a case for a spot in the College Football Playoff. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr outside Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor to preview The Game, including five key storylines that will go a long way toward determining which team will win.

In this special bonus presentation of Buckeye Huddle Primetime, Juck and Tony Gerdeman discuss all angles of The Game live with your comments!

• What the Rutgers game told us
• Ryan Day’s tip-off for JJ and Carnell playing
• Is the Ohio State offensive line coming around, or is it fool's gold?
• Ryan Day’s preparation feels different, doesn’t it?
• Chip Kelly fired ??

Matt Patricia's Ohio State defense is rewriting the school's record books this season. No one has scored more than 16 points against the Buckeyes in the first 11 games of the regular season, and the defense is a darling of most advanced analytical systems, holding opponents far below their averages on the ground and through the air. 

But does Patricia now have more tricks left in his toolbox with archrival Michigan on deck? And how does the Wolverines' offense, with standouts like Bryce Underwood, Jordan Marshall, and Andrew Marsh match up with what the Buckeyes will be trying to do with stars like Kayden McDonald, Arvell Reese, and Caleb Downs?

In this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, Ross breaks down some of Michigan's key concepts on the ground and through the air, and how Patricia and the Buckeyes may try to defend them.

The status of Ohio State star wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate is still somewhat up in the air as the countdown to the Buckeyes' showdown with archrival Michigan looms on Saturday. 

Tuesday, OSU head coach Ryan Day didn't go into too many details on their status, but did shed some light on their recovery when he was asked if they could play on Saturday without practicing during the week. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear that answer directly from Day, as well as discussions about Matt Patricia's dominating defense, how last year's shocking upset loss to the Wolverines changed him as a coach, and more.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day was anything but uptight during his afternoon press conference inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Tuesday. 

Day shared his thoughts on whether he was having fun this week, the challenge of playing loose in the biggest game of the season, whether former Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly might rejoin the Buckeyes' staff after being fired by the Las Vegas Raiders, what he learned from last year's shocking loss to the Wolverines, and much more.

The Ohio State Buckeyes enter Saturday's game against archrival Michigan with a few crucial questions on offense, specifically the health of wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. How will their availability impact what the Buckeyes try to do against Wink Martindale's Wolverine defense? And what from Ohio State's win against Rutgers might be an indication of how they will try to move the ball Saturday inside Michigan Stadium?

In this super-sized episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, Ross breaks down five key plays from OSU's win over Rutgers and takes a look at three plays from the Michigan defense that could be a cause for concern for the Wolverines this weekend.

Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore previewed this weekend's match-up between his Wolverines and archrival Ohio State at his weekly press conference on Monday. 

Moore discussed the intensity of the rivalry and whether the expanded College Football Playoff had lessened it in any way. Plus, the challenge posed by Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin, and the Ohio State passing game, why his team has dominated the second half of The Game against the Buckeyes in recent years, and more.

Could the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines end up playing two weekends in a row? The answer is yes, but it would take a few crazy upsets this weekend.

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, host Tom Orr breaks down all of the different combinations of outcomes in the three games that will determine which Big Ten teams play for the conference championship in Indianapolis on the first weekend of December.
