Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is running the nation's top defense for the nation's No. 1 team, but he's not resting on his laurels. Instead, Patricia is mixing in a number of different looks to keep opponents off-balance, and keep the Buckeyes' defense dominant.

In this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, Ross breaks down some of the different looks the Buckeyes showed in their 38-14 win over Penn State, and discusses a couple of things the Nittany Lions were able to do successfully, and how Patricia countered those later in the game.

Ohio State's offensive coaching staff came up with a winning game plan against former colleague and current Penn State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles in the Buckeyes' 38-14 win over the Nittany Lions. 

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru from BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of the concepts that helped OSU find success in the ground game, as well as taking the top off of Penn State's defense through the air.

Barry Odom's first season as Purdue's head coach has had a few high points, and a number of lows. The Boilermakers are just 2-7 and have yet to win a game in Big Ten play, but just gave Michigan a scare, in a 21-16 loss in Ann Arbor last weekend.

Odom met with the media this week to discuss that game, take a look ahead at this weekend's matchup with top-ranked Ohio State, and talk about the season-ending injury suffered by the Boilermakers' star RB Devin Mockobee.

Julian Sayin is now the 2025 Heisman Trophy frontrunner after completing 20-of-23 passes for 316 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-14 win over Penn State. 

But what is it that makes the redshirt freshman such an elite passer? Ohio State head coach Ryan Day discussed that and much more following the game. In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear Day discuss Sayin's game, whether Ohio State's players took the matchup with Jim Knowles personally, the play of the offensive line, and much more.

The Ohio State Buckeyes added a pair of 2027 offensive line commits on Sunday, as Mason Wilt and Kellen Wymer both announced that they would play their college football for Tyler Bowen in Columbus. 

In this breaking news episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the impact of the commitments, and what they mean for the offensive line room, and the 2027 recruiting class.

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes led unranked Penn State by only three points at halftime, before exploding for three second-half touchdowns in a 38-14 win.

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss four of their biggest takeaways from the game, including another dominating day for QB Julian Sayin, a double-dose of dominant play for wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, another okay (but not great) day running the football, and yet another lockdown day from Matt Patricia's Buckeye defense.

In this special bonus episode, Juck breaks down the matchup of Ohio State and an unpredictable and talented, but underperforming Penn State Nittany Lions team. 

Plus, should Jim Knowles be honored for his part in Ohio State's 2024 national championship season?

The Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines are less than a month away from playing their traditional regular season finale in Ann Arbor, and a whole lot could be on the line in that game, including the possibility to meet for a rematch the following weekend in the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll get an inside look at how the league will break what could be a very complicated series of ties, and which teams would face off on Championship Weekend in each scenario.

Jim Knowles spent three years in Columbus as the defensive coordinator for the Ohio State football team, and the Buckeyes won the national championship in his final year. 

However, it doesn't sound like OSU is going to be rolling out the red carpet when he returns to Ohio Stadium this Saturday. In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Buckeyes' head coach Ryan Day about the current status of his relationship with Knowles, what he learned from hiring both Knowles and his replacement Matt Patricia, and how the Ohio State defense has actually been better under Patricia than it even was in Knowles' best season.

Matt Patricia's 2025 Ohio State defense has been one of the best in decades by some statistical measures, and is clearly one of the nation's elite units this season. 

But it's hard to argue that the Buckeyes have faced more than a couple of truly solid offenses so far this season, and they certainly will later this fall. So how will they hold up against top teams in the postseason?

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com answers that and several other big questions about the Ohio State defense on this special episode of Ross Fulton Analysis.
