Ohio State hits the off week at 3–0, and Ryan Day, Matt Patricia, and Brian Hartline met with the media to discuss where the Buckeyes stand. Coach Day shared updates on Bo Jackson's rise, Tywone Malone starting at DT, red zone execution, and Bennett Christian's return. Patricia praised Kayden McDonald's dominance inside, Jaylen McClain's chemistry with Caleb Downs, and previewed Washington QB Demond Williams Jr. Hartline explained his philosophy as a play-caller, Brandon Inniss' impact without targets, and why balance is key for Julian Sayin's development.

Pull up a stool and pour a drink—let's talk Buckeye football.

Ohio State's defense flexed its depth and physicality in the 37-9 win over Ohio, turning in another strong performance in front of the Shoe. In this Daily Buckeye Blitz, we hand out grades across the board.

DL A LB A+ CB B SAF A

Here's what stood out:

• Caden Curry set the tone up front, while Kayden McDonald plugged the middle. Jarquez Carter continues flashing in his snaps.

• Ohio managed only 9 points and never found rhythm — proof this unit has the talent and depth to be one of the nation's best.

💥 It wasn't perfect — a missed tackle and penalties to clean up — but the Silver Bullets made a statement: this defense is ready for Big Ten play.

Ohio State's offense looked dominant in the 37-9 win over Ohio — but there were still areas needing polish. In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, we break down every position group and drop the grades.

We cover:

• Julian Sayin's hot night: 25/32, 347 yards, 3 TDs, despite a couple of interceptions

• Bo Jackson again showing burst with 109 rushing yards on just 9 carries

• Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate both topping 100 receiving yards — tackling Ohio State's aerial game with elite speed and separation

• Offensive line continuing to protect Sayin and open running lanes; clean game overall in blocking

• What slipped: red zone chances, special teams, and sharper execution needed before tougher opponents roll in

QB B- RB B+ WR/TE A+ OL C-

🔥 A win, but this offense is still building. This report card shows what to hang your hat on — and what to fix before the Big Ten starts.

It wasn't pretty early, but Ohio State eventually got a 37-9 win over Ohio University in their final non-conference tuneup before the bye week.

On today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, I give my instant reaction to a game where the Buckeyes' offense took time to settle in — but the defense stayed lights out.

🔴 Julian Sayin worked through early growing pains 🔴 Jeremiah Smith was unstoppable: 9 catches, 153 yards, 2 total TDs 🔴 Freshman Bo Jackson might be RB1 material 🔴 Caden Curry and Kayden McDonald dominated the line of scrimmage 🔴 Only TD allowed came on a busted play by Lorenzo Styles

Ohio State heads into the bye at 3–0, with two ranked wins and a defense that's playing like a championship unit.

Ohio State rolls into Week 3 after a 70–0 blowout of Grambling, but Ohio University isn't just a "cupcake." The Bobcats nearly upset Rutgers in Week 1 and just knocked off West Virginia with a stingy defense. In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, I break down my 5 keys to a Buckeye victory this weekend in the Shoe.

5 Keys vs Ohio:

1. Contain QB Parker Navarro — dual-threat gamer, but turnover-prone

2. Win early downs vs Bangura/Allison to force 3rd-and-long

3. Protect Julian Sayin against an active Ohio DL (Vonnie Watkins, Rodney Mathews)

4. Attack a vulnerable secondary that's allowed chunk plays all season

5. Keep building depth — Kienholz, St. Clair, freshmen on defense, and fix punt return execution

🔥 The Bobcats will compete, but this is another chance for Ohio State to sharpen execution and show depth before Big Ten play.

It's Week 3 and I'm breaking down the best bets across college football's top matchups. From coaches on the hot seat to quarterbacks under pressure, here's where I see the edges this weekend.

Games Covered:

• Clemson at Georgia Tech — is Dabo still elite or is Tech live at home?

• Wisconsin at Alabama — can Luke Fickell's Badgers hang in Tuscaloosa?

• Georgia at Tennessee — Carson Beck vs. Neyland noise

• Miami vs South Florida — Cam Ward keeps the Canes rolling?

• LSU vs Florida — Billy Napier's seat gets hotter in Death Valley

• Notre Dame vs Texas A&M — Sam Hartman's bounce-back in South Bend

• Ohio State vs Ohio — why the Buckeyes' first-half spread is the safer play

🔥 My Best Bets: Georgia -3.5, Miami -17.5, LSU -8.5, Notre Dame -6.5, Georgia Tech +3.5 live dog, and Ohio State 1H spread.

Ryan Day met with the media ahead of Ohio State's matchup with Ohio University, stressing development, discipline, and depth after the Buckeyes' 70–0 win over Grambling.

In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, we cover:

• Day on every rep being a chance to earn playing time & grade out well

• Fixing special teams: punt return issues and "hidden yards"

• Julian Sayin's rhythm & deep accuracy + Lincoln Kienholz's growth

• Why late-game reps matter for development instead of kneeling out the clock

• Recruiting challenges: flips, portal volatility & Day's opposition to a January window

• Max Clare's progress at TE + more 12/13 personnel for versatility

• Scouting Ohio U's mobile QB and why he's a good early-season test

• Jeremiah Smith's competitiveness and reliability despite a few drops

🔥 Day's message: the Buckeyes are in a race to get better — and the Ohio game is another step in the journey.

The Buckeyes pitched a 70–0 shutout against Grambling, and the defense showed why this unit has the potential to be elite. In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, we grade every defensive position group and highlight the young stars who stole the show.

We cover:

• Caden Curry's steady play + Kayden McDonald's breakout with a forced fumble

• Kenyatta Jackson's return and Eddrick Houston's discipline issues

• Riley Pettijohn's debut: forced fumble, scoop-and-score TD, highlight tackles

• Payton Pierce leading the team in tackles, TJ Alford flashing late

• Caleb Downs' interception + freshmen Devin Sanchez and Aaron Scott building trust in the CB rotation

🔥 The Buckeyes shut Grambling down — but more importantly, new playmakers are emerging all over the defense.

Ohio State's offense put on a show in the Horseshoe, rolling to a 70–0 win over Grambling. In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, I grade every offensive position group and dig into the key stats behind the blowout.

We cover:

• Julian Sayin's nearly perfect day (16 straight completions, 4 TDs)

• Lincoln Kienholz & Tavien St. Clair getting valuable reps

• James Peoples, CJ Donaldson, and freshman Bo Jackson leading a deep RB rotation

• Jeremiah Smith & Carnell Tate opening up the field + depth WRs making plays

• Will Kacmarek's big seam TD and tight ends stepping up

• Offensive line dominance: 0 sacks allowed, backups and freshmen getting real snaps

🔥 Every unit graded an A — the Buckeyes did exactly what they were supposed to do.

The Buckeyes took care of business in a big way, shutting out Grambling State 70-0 in front of the home crowd at The Shoe. On today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, I give my instant reaction to the blowout win — standout performances, what we learned (if anything), and who's making a push on the depth chart.

Then we turn the page to next Saturday's in-state showdown with Ohio University. What should Buckeye fans expect from the Bobcats? Who needs to show out in Week 3?
