Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

The Ohio State Buckeyes are one of the favorites to win the 2024 college football national championship, but they have a handful of challenging regular season games that they will have to win in order to reach the College Football Playoff. 

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the five toughest games on Ohio State's 2024 schedule, including a trip out west to face top-5 Oregon, an always-challenging visit to Happy Valley, and of course the season-ending showdown with archrival Michigan.

After a recent request from a BuckeyeHuddle.com member, we're going to be featuring more Xs and Os conversations both on our podcasts and also on our member-exclusive message board. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Devin Radcliffe of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down what fans can expect out of the Ohio State linebackers this season. 

How will Cody Simon, Sonny Styles, and CJ Hicks fit together? How often will Jim Knowles add a third linebacker to his base 4-2-5 look? And could the Buckeyes roll out a super-athletic 4-1-6 package at some point?

The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to face off with the Oregon Ducks in mid-October in one of the most-anticipated games of the 2024 college football season. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com thinks a revamped Ohio State ground attack could have a very big day at Autzen Stadium. He joins host Tom Orr to discuss why he thinks TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins could be poised to run wild on Dan Lanning's defense.

The Ohio State offense has been among the nation's best in each of the last three seasons, but the Buckeyes have been missing a crucial piece of their attack in each of those years. 

So how will former Kansas State QB Will Howard potentially change that this fall? Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and much more on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

The expanded 12-team College Football Playoff will make the 2024 season even more unpredictable than any in history. Tyler Shoemaker, the creator of the T-Shoe Index is trying to bring some order to the chaos with his system of power ratings.

He joins host Tom Orr to discuss the impact of conference realignment on his numbers, a few teams who could exceed the national expectations and earn a spot in the College Football Playoff, and how his numbers see things shaking out at the top of what should be a very competitive Big Ten.

The start of the 12-team era for the College Football Playoffs is going to bring some incredible changes to the sport's postseason and make it more challenging than ever before for a team to win it all. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to look at what the path to the national championship could look like for each of this year's top contenders.

The Ohio State Buckeyes added a whopping nine commitments to its top-ranked 2025 recruiting class, but there is still work left to do before they can call it a successful year. 

So where do the Buckeyes still need to supplement the impressive group of players they already have committed? 

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

The Ohio State Buckeyes have one of the most complete rosters in the nation for the 2024 college football season, but there are still a few lingering questions that Ryan Day and his staff will need to answer before they take the field against Akron in week one. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Ryan Day on which position groups still need to get sorted out, as well as a number of other topics, including Caleb Downs potentially taking snaps on offense, under-the-radar prospects who earned offers at the Buckeyes' camps in June, and much more.

There are big expectations for Ohio State's 2024 football team, with the Buckeyes potentially poised to do a number of things they haven't done much - or at all - in the past. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss four things he thinks the Buckeyes might do this fall, including a special teams play they haven't pulled off since 2010, a rare achievement for a pair of true freshmen, and more.

A big change is coming to college football coaching staffs, following the NCAA's decision to "permit any staff member to provide technical and tactical instruction to student-athletes."

This change will allow programs a functionally unlimited number of coaches, a move that could be a big positive for the coaching professsion, and also a big advantage to powerful programs like Ohio State. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the impact of the change.
