Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The Nebraska Cornhuskers just suffered a 56-7 loss to the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday, and now they have to travel to Columbus to face the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes. 

So what went so wrong for the Huskers in Bloomington, and are they prepared for the challenge ahead from Ryan Day and Chip Kelly's offense this weekend?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answers to those questions and many more directly from Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule. Always one of the most interesting and candid interview subjects in the Big Ten, Rhule had a lot to say about the Huskers' struggles, the Buckeyes' talent, and much more.

As the Ohio State football team gets ready to kick off the back half of its 2024 regular season, there are a handful of big questions looming for the Buckeyes. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss five of them, including:

• How Ohio State will replace injured LT Josh Simmons
• What's next at TE after Will Kacmarek suffered a serious injury?
• Can the pass rush make a bigger impact in the back half of the schedule?
• How will the secondary hold up against top competition?
• Can the team afford another regular season loss?

The new 12-team College Football Playoff is changing the face of the sport, and has kept many more teams in legitimate contention for the postseason than ever before. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr of BuckeyeHuddle.com discuss the race for conference titles in each of the four power conferences, and which teams are still in prime position to earn one of the 12 spots to play for the national title.

The 2024 college football season promised some big changes to everything you had come to expect from the sport, but it has delivered even more shocking results already. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear about one of the most surprising developments from each of the four power conferences, plus a bonus fact about two service academies doing something they haven't in nearly 80 years.

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 Ohio State Buckeyes suffered their first loss of the 2024 college football season at Oregon last weekend, but how much did it actually change their potential path to a national championship in the new 12-team College Football Playoff field?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the projected field of 12 based on the current Associated Press Top 25, including each team's path of three or four games to win it all.

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.

Three days after Oregon head coach Dan Lanning found a loophole in the rules to trade a five-yard penalty for four seconds of game time, the NCAA is now looking at ways to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

A report from Ross Dellenger of Yahoo cited Steve Shaw, the NCAA secretary rules editor, and reported that that the NCAA Football Playing Rules Committee is looking at issuing updated guidance on how to handle that situation, if it arises again.

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the rule, why it was enforced correctly on Saturday night, and why the NCAA is now looking to take an unusual action to change the rule in the middle of the season.

The expectation entering the 2024 Ohio State football season was that QB Will Howard just had to do enough to keep things moving on offense, and that efficiency and effectiveness would be plenty to win. Howard lived up to that standard on Saturday night in Eugene, completing 80 percent of his passes for more than 300 yards, a pair of touchdowns, and no interceptions, but the Ducks pulled out a final minute win. 

So how would Ohio State head coach Ryan Day evaluate Howard's play? And what does Howard think about his game? You'll hear those answers and more on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

Through five games, the Ohio State defense had not allowed a single passing play of 30 yards or longer. Then, the Oregon Ducks lit the Buckeyes up with four plays longer than 30 yards. So what went wrong for the Ohiol State defense?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and defensive coordinator Jim Knowles about that and more.
