There are big changes coming to college football in 2024, including a lot of familiar faces in new places. 

So where have big-name quarterbacks landed in the Transfer Portal this offseason? Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss where the top transfer quarterbacks will be playing this fall, and what kind of impact it could have on the season.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are aiming for the first national championship in the expanded era of the College Football Playoff, but to do it, they'll have to get through a 12-game Big Ten regular season and then the postseason. 

So who are the toughest opposing quarterbacks on the Buckeyes' regular season schedule? Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to run through the veteran transfers, the promising true freshmen, and everything in between.

In part two of a conversation with Matt Sarz of MattSarzSports.com, you'll get an insider look at some of the big changes coming to college football broadcasts for the 2024 season. From TNT sublicensing two College Football Playoff games from ESPN, to FOX trying to take over Friday nights, there is a lot to talk about on this episode of Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning.

Ohio State's annual showdown with archrival Michigan will be televised on FOX at noon on Saturday, November 30, 2024. 

But what about the Buckeyes' much-anticipated trip out west to face Oregon in what should be a top-5 matchup? And will Ohio State's trip to Happy Valley be a prime time whiteout? Or a Big Noon Kickoff?

Matt Sarz of MattSarzSports.com is the nation's leading expert in college football television, and understanding all of the complicated factors that go in to these decisions. He joins host Tom Orr for the first of a two-part conversation about college football and television in the 2024 season.

A new book detailing the end of Jim Harbaugh's time at Michigan is set to come out later this summer, and there are some fascinating details from the story already coming out in some early excerpts. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss what they learned from their first look at "The Price: What It Takes to Win in College Football's Era of Chaos" a new book coming out in August. 

The story touches on Harbaugh's response to NCAA investigators looking into the Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal, why he decided to jump from Michigan to the Los Angeles Chargers, and more.

Just when you thought the business of NIL in college football couldn't get any crazier, Jaden Rashada, a backup quarterback at Georgia has filed a lawsuit against Florida head coach Billy Napier among others, claiming that the Gators reneged on an NIL deal worth more than $10 million. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that, plus Penn State's plan to spend nearly $700 million to overhaul Beaver Stadium.

For the first two years that Jim Knowles was the defensive coordinator at Ohio State, the questions about his signature rush package known as "The Jack" seemingly never stopped. 

But after two years of waiting without much payoff, the idea of implementing the Jack seems like it might never happen. 

However, Devin Radcliffe, one of the Xs and Os gurus at BuckeyeHuddle.com, says that there could be a role for the Jack on the Ohio State defense. He joins host Tom Orr to explain how the Jack could be a difference-maker in the run game, and discuss how likely it is to happen this fall.

Jahkeem Stewart is just halfway through his high school career, but already has the look and the credentials of a college-ready defensive line superstar. 

Stewart has already visited Columbus and has another trip planned, but can the Buckeyes really pull him out of New Orleans to play his college ball at Ohio State?

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com just met with Stewart to discuss that and much more. 

Plus, a look at Zion Grady, a top Alabama prospect who could be the next great edge rusher to come out of the deep south.

The Ohio State Buckeyes just added a former South Carolina defensive back to their 2024 football team. 

Keenan Nelson, Jr. played his high school ball at St. Joseph's Prep, the same program that produced Marvin Harrison, Jr., Jim Knowles, and Kyle McCord, and then spent two seasons with the Gamecocks, starting four games in the secondary, and also blocking a punt for a touchdown.

So what does he bring to Columbus, and where will he fit on the 2024 Buckeye team?

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and more on this special breaking news episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.
