Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The Washington Huskies are off to a dominant start to the 2025 college football season, but have yet to play a College Football Playoff contender. 

Some of the Huskies' stats this season, as well as their home-field dominance, sound too good to be true, but many of them are. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to try to separate fact from fiction when it comes to Jedd Fisch, Demond Williams, and the Washington Huskies football team. 

Do the Huskies currently hold the longest home winning streak in the nation?

Did QB Demond Williams really have as many 20-yard runs as incompletions in the Apple Cup game against Washington State?

How long has it been since UW punted the football or turned it over on offense?

Has Washington ever beaten an AP #1 team before?

And more.

Through a quarter of Ohio State's 2025 regular season, third-year wide receiver Brandon Inniss has just five receptions for 37 yards. Will the talented slot receiver earn a bigger role in the Buckeyes' passing offense as the team turns to conference play with this weekend's game at Washington?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answer to that and a number of other intriguing questions directly from Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline.

The Ohio State defense has faced three mobile quarterbacks in its first three games, but is Matt Patricia's unit prepared to face Washington's unique dual-threat QB Demond Williams?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Matt Patricia about that and much more.

Ohio State started Tywone Malone at 3-tech on defense against the Ohio Bobcats instead of Eddrick Houston. And Ethan Onianwa came in to replace Tegra Tshabola at right guard for the OSU offensive line against OU as well. So are those indications that there could be major changes on the depth chart heading into Big Ten play?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answer to those questions and several others directly from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day.

In his first season as Ohio State's defensive coordinator, Matt Patricia has the Buckeyes showing different looks up front as well as in the secondary, mixing and matching, and disguising coverages to change the picture for opposing offenses after the snap of the ball. 

So what is he doing, and why is it working so well so far this fall?

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down five plays from the Buckeyes' win over the Ohio Bobcats that show Patricia's influence on the Ohio State defense.

The Ohio State Buckeyes dominated almost all of their game against the Ohio Bobcats on Saturday night, but some repeated struggles in the red zone kept them from pulling away from a pesky OU team until midway through the second half. 

So why did the Buckeyes struggle to both run and pass the ball close to the end zone, and more importantly, how can they fix those issues before traveling cross-country to take on Washington in a little over a week?

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru from BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and more on this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis.

It took a while to get going, but the Ohio State Buckeyes eventually pulled away from the Ohio Bobcats in a 37-9 win inside Ohio Stadium on Saturday night. 

Kevin Noon and Tom Orr of BuckeyeHuddle.com discuss some of their key takeaways, including the good and bad of Julian Sayin's night, the emergence of true freshman RB Bo Jackson, another huge night for the wide receiver duo of Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, a dominating performance by the Buckeye defense, and more.

Ohio State tight end Will Kacmarek has spent much of his college career outside of the spotlight. The first three seasons of his FBS experience were as a tight end for the Ohio Bobcats in the MAC, and since coming to Ohio State prior to the 2024 season, he has mostly been known for his outstanding blocking. 

But last weekend, he scored his first touchdown as a Buckeye on a nice catch-and-run in the first quarter against Grambling, and now he's at center stage again as his current team gets set to take on his former team. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from Kacmarek about how Ohio's coaches found him as a high school recruit and offered him a shot to play at the FBS level, what he learned from them, and what it means to be taking on his former team.
