Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The Ohio State defense has gotten to the quarterback much more this season than in previous years. Jim Knowles' unit has 39 sacks already in 2024, compared to just 28 last season. It's the most sacks for a Buckeye defense since the Chase Young-led monsters of 2019 led the nation with 54. 

How did this year's pass rush start getting home more often? In this special bonus episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answer to that question and much more directly from JT Tuimoloau. The fourth-year standout has been a big part of that pass-rushing success, and shares his thoughts on getting a second crack at Oregon, why he and Jack Sawyer work so well together, and more.

Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles has put together one of the absolute best units in the nation this year by almost every statistical metric. However, during their first game against Dillon Gabriel and the Oregon Ducks, the Buckeyes allowed 32 points in their worst performance of the season. 

So was that night in Autzen Stadium a result of an off-night for OSU or a dominant performance by the Ducks? And is Knowles confident that the changes he implemented after that game are going to be enough to contain Oregon in the Rose Bowl?

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

Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and a handful of Buckeye defensive standouts just met with the media to preview OSU's Rose Bowl matchup with the top-ranked Oregon Ducks in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr break down what they learned talking to the Buckeyes in this special live episode of Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning.

Jim Knowles and the Ohio State defense put together a dominating performance in the Buckeyes' 42-17 win over Tennessee in the first round of the College Football Playoff. 

They did it by using a different mix of coverages than we have typically seen in previous games. 

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down what they did against the Volunteers, and what it could mean in the Rose Bowl against Oregon.

One game after a 60-minute slog that led to just 10 points in a loss to Michigan, the Ohio State offense made some tweaks and exploded out to a 21-point first quarter en route to a 42-17 blowout of Tennessee. 

So what did Chip Kelly and Ryan Day do differently against the Volunteers, and will it carry forward to the Rose Bowl rematch against top-ranked Oregon? 

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru from BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down eight plays from the first-round College Football Playoff matchup that illustrate what went so well for Ohio State on offense.

This is a special encore presentation of the Ross Fulton Analysis show about the Ohio State defense following the Buckeyes 32-31 loss at Oregon earlier this season. Given the upcoming rematch, it seemed like a good time to look back at where things stood following that game. We will have multiple new shows with Ross coming up later this week to recap the win over Tennessee and preview the Rose Bowl against Oregon. 

Jim Knowles and the Ohio State defense had been among the very best in the nation through five games of the 2024 season, but when they traveled west to take on the Oregon Ducks, things went bad pretty quickly.

Oregon rolled up 32 points and nearly 500 yards of total offense - at 7.6 yards per play - to hand the Buckeyes their first loss of the year. And while fans were quick to point a finger at a few specific plays and players, as always, the true cause of the issues was complicated. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, BuckeyeHuddle.com Xs and Os guru Ross Fulton breaks down the issues he saw and what can be done to fix them.

The Ohio State offense put up 31 points, and nearly added a game-winning drive at the end of its game at Oregon last weekend. 

While the news on the defensive side of the ball was mostly bad, there were a lot of positives to take from the performance of the offense. 

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the good and the bad for Chip Kelly and Ryan Day's offense, and what it could mean moving forward.

The 2025 Rose Bowl will be a rematch of one of the very best games of the college football season, between the top-ranked Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and Oregon head coach Dan Lanning just held their first media availabilities for the game. What were the biggest takeaways from the interviews?

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr of BuckeyeHuddle.com break it all down on this special LIVE episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

The Ohio State team that dragged Tennessee up and down the field on both sides of the ball on Saturday night looked very different from the Buckeyes who have appeared in several other games this season. So what changed? 

In this special bonus episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear from Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly about the Buckeyes' impressive performance, as well as a little look ahead to the Rose Bowl against Oregon.

Ohio State has run out at least six different versions of its starting offensive line during the course of the 2024 college football season, due to both injuries and ineffectiveness. But Saturday night in the Horseshoe, the Buckeye line dominated Tennessee in a 42-17 win to set up a Rose Bowl rematch against the Oregon Ducks.

So is the unusual plan to rotate three guards between two positions really going to be the way the Buckeyes move forward for the rest of the College Football Playoff? 

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