What will Ohio State's wide receiver production really look like under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith?

In this episode, we break down how the Buckeyes' WR room changes in 2026 — from projected stats and snap counts to who benefits most from Jeremiah Smith's gravity and which receivers lose snaps in a system that won't rotate like the Brian Hartline era.

🔍 Topics covered:

• Projected Ohio State WR stats under Arthur Smith

• Estimated snap counts for Jeremiah Smith, Brandon Inniss, and the WR2 role

• How Arthur Smith's offense changes WR usage

• Why this WR room may peak late, not early

• Who loses playing time with fewer 11-personnel snaps

• How tight ends and running backs benefit from WR gravity

Arthur Smith's offense isn't about spreading the ball to everyone — it's about efficiency, leverage, and timing. That changes how Ohio State uses its elite receiver talent and reshapes expectations for transfers, freshmen, and rotational players.

If you're expecting 2019-style volume, this episode explains why that's not coming — and why the Buckeyes may be more dangerous in November than September.

Ohio State's offense didn't suddenly break in 2025 — college football changed.

In this episode, we break down why explosive plays vanished from Ohio State's offense, why the same thing is happening across the sport, and how modern defenses have completely caught up to spread offenses.

We dig into:

• Why explosive runs and passes are down nationwide

• How defenses are winning on 1st-and-10

• Why Ohio State's offense felt "compressed" late in games

• The hidden difference between explosive rate vs explosive impact

• Why this trend made life harder for Jeremiah Smith and the passing game

• How this explains Ohio State's offensive struggles in big moments

• And why this shift is exactly why Arthur Smith was hired

This isn't about tempo. It's not about throwing more. It's about how football is evolving — and why Ohio State is adjusting.

If you've been asking "What happened to the big plays?" — this episode explains it.

Ohio State has the best wide receiver in college football — but the rest of the WR room is wide open heading into 2026.

In this Ohio State football roster reset, we examine:

• Why Jeremiah Smith changes everything

• The impact of losing Carnell Tate

• Ohio State's first-ever transfer portal WR additions

• What Kyle Parker and Devin McCuin actually bring to the offense

• Whether Chris Henry Jr. can live up to massive expectations

• Which receivers are most likely to start alongside Smith

This episode focuses on structure, roles, and development, not offseason hype. The Buckeyes don't need stars — they need answers.

Every offseason, Ohio State fans ask the same question: Will a true freshman start this year? With the 2026 roster coming into focus, we break down the reality behind freshman starters at Ohio State — why it's rare, where it can happen, and why comparing anyone to Jeremiah Smith is a mistake. We look at historical trends, position-by-position odds, how the 2026 schedule limits "free" starts, and which spots (cornerback, wide receiver) offer the most realistic paths. This isn't hype — it's context, development, and what Ryan Day actually prioritizes when it comes to trusting young players.

Ohio State's running back room is at a crossroads heading into the 2026 season.

After losing two second-round NFL picks, the Buckeyes leaned on freshmen Bo Jackson and Isaiah West in 2025 — and while the production was solid, the explosiveness was missing. Now both Jackson and West are sidelined for spring practice after shoulder surgeries, forcing Ohio State to evaluate depth, development, and future roles in a pivotal offseason.

In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down:

• Bo Jackson's emergence as a potential three-down back

• Isaiah West's next step after flashing as a freshman

• What Ohio State loses with CJ Donaldson and James Peoples departing

• Why Florida transfer Ja'Kobi Jackson matters more than people think

• How Legend Bey fits as a "lightning in a bottle" athlete

• Why explosiveness — not workload — is the biggest issue

• How Arthur Smith's run-game background could unlock this room

Ohio State doesn't need a total rebuild at running back — but it does need more big plays if the offense is going to take a step forward in 2026.

Ohio State's roster reset begins at the most important position on the field — quarterback.

In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down the Buckeyes' 2026 quarterback room following the transfer portal window and coaching changes. Julian Sayin returns after a Heisman-finalist season, but expectations are higher than ever as he enters Year 2 as the face of the program under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.

We examine Sayin's development, the departure of Lincoln Kienholz, the additions of transfer quarterback Justyn Martin and freshman Luke Fahey, and what this season means for former five-star Tavien St. Clair. We also project the 2026 depth chart and identify the biggest question facing Ohio State's offense heading into the fall.

This is the first episode in our position-by-position Roster Reset series for Ohio State football.

Ohio State's offense is about to change — but not in the way most fans think.

With Arthur Smith taking over as offensive coordinator, the Buckeyes aren't chasing video-game stats or early-season fireworks. They're building an offense designed to win in January, not just September.

In this episode, we break down:

• How Ohio State's offensive structure will change in 2026

• What Arthur Smith brings schematically from the NFL

• Why personnel groupings, motion, and sequencing matter more than play calls

• Projected offensive stats (yards, rushing volume, balance, efficiency)

• How this offense makes life harder for elite playoff defenses

• Why this is about control, flexibility, and reliability, not flash

This isn't a player-by-player hype show. This is about how the offense works, why Ryan Day wanted this profile, and why Ohio State's ceiling might actually be higher with fewer empty possessions.

If you're expecting the same spread offense with a new name on the headset — this episode is for you.

What does the hire of Arthur Smith actually change for Ohio State's offense in 2026?

In this follow-up episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down how Ryan Day's decision reshapes the Buckeyes' offensive identity — from run-game philosophy and personnel usage to quarterback protection, tight end involvement, and late-game execution.

This isn't hype or NFL nostalgia. It's a clear-eyed projection of how Ohio State's offense will function on Saturdays this fall — and why this hire is about efficiency, balance, and winning in January.

🔍 Topics covered:

• How the run game becomes a foundation, not a complement

• What changes for Ohio State's quarterbacks in 2026

• Why tight ends and personnel flexibility matter more than ever

• How Ryan Day returns to a true CEO role

• What this offense is designed to look like in big games

Ohio State didn't just add a coordinator — it changed how the offense operates.

Ohio State finally has its new offensive coordinator — and it's a move that tells us exactly how Ryan Day wants to run this program.

The Buckeyes hired Arthur Smith, a former NFL head coach and longtime NFL play-caller, to take over the offense. This wasn't a panic move or a message-board hire. It was Ryan Day going back to the same checklist he's trusted time and time again.

In this episode of The Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down: • Why Ryan Day consistently hires veteran NFL play-callers • How Arthur Smith fits the same mold as Chip Kelly and Bill O'Brien • What this hire says about Day returning to CEO mode • Why the run game is the real story behind the move • How Smith's offense pairs with Day's passing concepts • Legitimate concerns — and why Ohio State is built to handle them

Arthur Smith checked every box Day was looking for. Now the real work begins.
