The Buck Off Podcast: An Ohio State and College Football Podcast with Christopher Renne

I was on a cruise ship, but Ohio State hits on all their recruits this past week. I discuss Trey Sermon finally and what he brings to the table, and lastly Ohio State basketball are national champs.

Your host said a statement that drove the conversation in the opinion that Ohio State's offense is "way better" with EJ Liddell. I clarify what I meant by that and discuss the importance of Liddell's growth and what Kyle Young brings to the table. I also talk about Ohio State's position movers and who may be the best at their new position.

Spring practice is underway and Ohio State has already taken a huge hit to the RB room. Master Teague III is injured and the runningback room is as thin as I've ever seen, I discuss possible fixes. Then we get into the storylines that will drive the program through the 2020 season and I do my first Ryan Day Takeaway's. I then close out the show with a quick hit on Ohio State's basketball team.

Ohio State and its players are performing in our two favorite sports. The men's basketball team beat Nebraska on the road and this win signifies a new age for team 121. I discuss the importance of closing out strong. The Buckeyes are also well represented in Indianapolis for the NFL combine and as always Ohio State is ending up in headlines. I cipher through the news to get to what is important and tell you why Mel Kiper is wrong.

In this episode, your host discusses how the Donovan Edwards recruitment is essential for the big picture of Ohio State and Michigan football. He then gets into how Ryan Day has earned his contract and what this means for the university. The basketball team has been inconsistent and we talk about the tale of two teams. Lastly, we talk about the nonconference opponents for the Buckeyes this year in our first schedule preview.

The safety position is all but locked up so we get into how the depth will fill out there. There are a bunch of new faces vying for the other corner position across the field from Shaun Wade. Will the young players emerge early or will it be the faces who have been on campus already. Find out on my final roster predictions and the conclusion of the first of many offseason series.

The linebacker position is always the talk of the town and I am here to tell you that not much will change. We will see some new faces in the middle at DT and a player we have been excited for will break into the starting lineup. Lastly, how will we replace Chase Young? I talk defensive ends.

In this episode I talk about the X- and Z-Receiver positions and the depth that will fall in behind Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. Then I get into the two OL positions that are up for grabs and the depth that will come behind the starters. Lastly, I hit on the most underrated position on the roster, the tight ends.

Spring football is on the horizon and that means for us it is time to start talking rosters. In this episode I talk who will back up Mr. Fields at QB. Who will actually start at running back between Teague, Crowley, and the rest of the gang? Then we talk about the always interesting position of H-Back will it exist and who will play there.

To start the show, we discuss the losses on the roster and how they will impact the future. Then we talk about coaching/player turnover and how those positions will look in the future.

Ohio State and the rest of their country had their national signing day the day before this was recorded. The class is part of why Ohio State's future looks so bright. I go into instant contributors, soon to be contributors, and guys who may take more time.
