Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

In this continuation of a live episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tom Orr, Tony Gerdeman, and Juck Miletti discuss a handful of topics surrounding Ohio State vs. Texas. They start by wondering which stars will emerge in this game -- since it always happens, then they discuss what they expect from Julian Sayin and their confidence level in him right now. The show then finishes with a discussion about the Ohio State secondary and the relative unknowns that are patrolling the Buckeyes' last line of defense.

The Texas Longhorns have lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes in each of the last two seasons, first in the College Football Playoff Semifinal in the Cotton Bowl, and then in the season-opening game last fall in Columbus. 

But in both of those games, the Texas defense limited OSU star WR Jeremiah Smith to a fraction of his normal production. Smith has combined for 7 catches for 46 yards between those two games. So how did Texas do it, and more importantly, can they do it again Saturday night in Austin?

In this special bonus episode, you'll hear Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian discuss that and more.

It's a little too early to draw any real conclusions about how the 2026 Ohio State defense will differ from Matt Patricia's first version as the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator in 2025, but BuckeyeInsiders.com Scheme Insider Michael Pettit did notice an interesting change that Patricia made to the defensive front.

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, he joins host Tom Orr to break down four stunts that the Buckeyes used in their season-opening win over Ball State, including some where a small change can make a big difference in the impact on the field. 

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• Raider Stunts
• Blood Stunts
• Exit Stunts
• Tex Stunts

This is a special bonus episode, featuring clips from a press conference with Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian this week, as the No. 4 Longhorns get ready to take on the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes. 

This will be the third meeting between the teams in as many years, and the first two both went Ohio State's way, thanks in no small part to some key wins in goal line situations. 

In this special bonus episode, you'll hear Sark discuss what went wrong for the Longhorns in those moments, as well as where he thinks his rushing attack stands right now, and much more.

In this special bonus episode, you'll hear directly from Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, who had a very entertaining and informative press conference earlier in the week, previewing this weekend's titanic matchup with Ohio State.

In this episode, you'll hear some general thoughts from Sark on his team's week one win over Texas State, the challenge ahead from the Buckeyes, and whether they can treat this as "just another game" or whether it's more than that.

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes and No. 4 Texas Longhorns are getting set for one of the biggest games on the 2026 college football schedule, and one of the most intriguing chess matches will be between new Ohio State offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and new Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp. 

In this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, BuckeyeInsiders.com scheme insider Ross Fulton breaks down some of the concepts Muschamp is known for, what he showed during week one against Texas State, and some things the Buckeyes can try to take advantage of what Muschamp might do.

Ohio State ran out several young defensive linemen early against Ball State, with second-year DE Zion Grady getting the start, and freshman DE Khary Wilder playing a key role in the third-down pass rush package. 

So are those two young standouts ready for a big step up in competition this weekend against the Texas Longhorns?

In this special bonus episode, you'll hear directly from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day on that and much more.

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes have a road trip to No. 4 Texas on deck, which means there isn't much time to sort out the big questions facing the team.

The No. 4 Texas Longhorns were a very hot topic during Ohio State head coach Ryan Day's weekly press conference on Tuesday in Columbus.

Day met with the media to preview the No. 1 Buckeyes' enormous game this weekend in Austin, and discussed it from every possible angle, including:

• The growth of Texas QB Arch Manning over the past year
• The challenge of the Longhorns' talented wide receiver trio
• What Texas has done to limit Jeremiah Smith's production in their previous two meetings
• And more

In this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, Ross takes a look at zone tracks, what was going wrong in the first half, what they got fixed, and what it could mean for this weekend's top-5 showdown in Austin.
