Ohio State returns FOUR starters and 91 career starts along the offensive line heading into the 2026 season — but major questions still remain.

In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down:

• Why Ian Moore may have locked down the left tackle job

• Whether Austin Siereveld should move inside to guard

• Concerns about the interior offensive line depth

• The pressure on Phillip Daniels heading into camp

• Why this group MUST improve after the ugly finish to 2025

• How Tyler Bowen is trying to build the Buckeyes' best five

On paper, this should be one of the best offensive lines in the Big Ten.

But after allowing 10 sacks in the final two games last season, Ohio State still has a lot to prove against elite defensive fronts.

The College Football Playoff may eventually expand to 24 teams — and I think it would be a disaster for the sport.

In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, I break down why college football's greatness has ALWAYS been tied to the urgency of the regular season. A 24-team playoff would remove consequences, dilute rivalry games, reward underachieving teams, and turn college football into NFL-lite.

I also react to recent comments and discussions surrounding CFP expansion, conference championship games, TV money, and the future of the sport.

Topics include:

• Why the regular season is the soul of college football

• Ohio State vs Michigan and what expansion would change

• Why 24 teams rewards mediocrity

• The real reason conferences want expansion

• Why fans overwhelmingly oppose a 24-team playoff

• How expansion changes the DNA of the sport

If you love college football because every Saturday matters, this episode is for you.

Ohio State's running back room may quietly be one of the deepest position groups in college football heading into 2026.

In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down everything we learned from spring football about the Buckeyes running backs:

• Why Bo Jackson remains the clear RB1

• Isaiah West's growing role

• The rising hype surrounding freshman Legend Bey

• Ja'Kobi Jackson's underrated importance

• Why Carlos Locklyn suddenly has TOO MANY weapons

• Injury concerns at the position

• The biggest unanswered question entering summer workouts

Even with injuries limiting the room all spring, Ohio State still came away feeling stronger at running back than it did entering camp.

If Legend Bey becomes what coaches think he can become… watch out.

From Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles to elite recruiting classes and zero transfers, the Buckeyes are quickly becoming THE destination for linebackers.
