Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes will head west this week to take on No. 3 Oregon in one of the most-anticipated matchups of the 2024 college football regular season. 


Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down three factors that could decide the matchup between the Buckeyes and Ducks. 

• Can the Buckeye offensive line control the line of scrimmage to open things up in the run game and give Will Howard time to throw?
• Will the Ohio State defense be able to keep Oregon's standout RB Jordan James in check, and get enough pressure to keep QB Dillon Gabriel off-balance?
• And which quarterback, Gabriel or Ohio State's Will Howard will make the one big mistake that could swing the game? 

The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes will head west later this week for a showdown with No. 3 Oregon. The two teams both handled their business against conference opponents to set up that top-3 matchup. 

During a week when five of the top 11 teams in the rankings all lost, what did the Buckeyes do to avoid a letdown against the Hawkeyes? And how prepared is Ohio State for the challenge they'll face in Eugene next weekend? 

In this special bonus episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answers to those questions and many more from Ohio State quarterback Will Howard.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are about to head west to Eugene, Oregon to take on the Oregon Ducks in one of the most-anticipated regular-season matchups on the 2024 college football schedule. 

But before they could shift their focus to Dan Lanning's team, they had to handle their business against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Did their play against Iowa answer any big questions about the Oregon game?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day about that and much more, including the play of QB Will Howard, the return of DT Tyleik Williams, and Emeka Egbuka's three-touchdown day.

The Oregon Ducks handled business on Friday night, knocking off Michigan State, 31-10. 

After the game Oregon head coach Dan Lanning and QB Dillon Gabriel discussed the improvement the Ducks have shown this season, the importance of players like RB Jordan James and WR Tez Johnson, the opportunity the Ducks have with Ohio State coming to town, and the challenge that the Buckeye defense will pose.

The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes were only up 7-0 on Iowa at the half, but a third-quarter explosion helped them cruise to a 35-7 win over the Hawkeyes. There were a few things that happened during the game that might be indications of how the Buckeyes' next game at Oregon could go.

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and more on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes are preparing for their toughest test of the season so far when the Iowa Hawkeyes come to town. Iowa and defensive coordinator Phil Parker have grabbed most of the headlines this week, as their highly-ranked defense goes head-to-head with an explosive Buckeye offense, but there is a compelling matchup to watch on the other side of the ball as well, as Kaleb Johnson, who stands near the top of national rankings in a number of categories will try to run over, around, and through Jim Knowles' Buckeye defense. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day about that, as well as thoughts from center Seth McLaughlin on getting a crash course in the Big Ten, and safety Caleb Downs about what he's studying in the film room every week.

The Ohio State defense currently leads the nation, allowing just 6.8 points per game. But there are still a number of questions surrounding Jim Knowles' unit after its first Big Ten game of the season. 

Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of the areas that have OSU fans concerned, including:

• Why the Buckeyes are playing so much 4-3, when that means taking standout nickel Jordan Hancock off of the field
• Why the Buckeye secondary played so much off coverage last weekend, giving MSU receivers a free release at the line, and leading to some big pass plays
• Whether some of the big plays the Buckeyes allowed were a function of shaky scheme, or bad execution
• And much more

The Ohio State Buckeyes are preparing for their toughest challenge yet in the 2024 season when they face the Iowa Hawkeyes this weekend, and in particular, the Iowa defense. 

Hawkeye defensive coordinator Phil Parker is known as a defensive mastermind, so how can OSU offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and head coach Ryan Day out-scheme him?

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Kelly on that and much more. Plus, Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles discusses some of the challenges that his defense is working through right now.

There was a lot to like about the Ohio State offense on Saturday night in East Lansing, where the Buckeyes rolled up 38 points, in a balanced attack. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com breaks down one area where the Buckeyes struggled on the ground against the Spartan defense, and a lot of places where they succeeded, including a sequence of plays where offensive coordinator Chip Kelly masterfully built off of what they had already shown to put together a touchdown drive.

In this special bonus edition of the Skull Session Recruiting Podcast, Marc Givler and Kevin Noon discuss the flip potential of some key targets and what could be a big weekend with Iowa coming to town.
