The Buckeye Weekly Podcast

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman once again compete against each other with bold predictions for what's going to happen this weekend between the Toledo Rockets and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Who will boldly go where the other simply cannot? That depends upon which predictions will actually come to fruition. And those predictions involve turnovers, special teams, a defense getting into the backfield, random math, a dynamic OSU offense, and much, much more.

In this edition of the Big Me Kickoff, we are focusing in on the upcoming game with the Toledo Rockets. This in-state team has had success in past year knocking off major foes including the likes of Penn State, Michigan, Iowa State and other and in 2021 came oh-so-close to taking down Notre Dame.

Despite only being a couple hour car ride away from Columbus, what do we really know about the 2022 Rockets? We know that their schedule has been maybe even weaker than Michigan’s with games against LIU and UMass to date, but their level of competition takes a steep climb as they take on Ohio State on Saturday night under the lights at Ohio Stadium.

We are catching up with a long-time friend as Kyle Rowland of the Toledo Blade provides some more context into who the Rockets are, what they have accomplished and what their chances are in this one.

All of that and more in this edition of the Big Me Kickoff.

It was a very busy Wednesday night inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center as nine Ohio State players met with the media to discuss the season so far, preview the upcoming game against Toledo, and much more.

Ohio State's 2023 defensive line class is already off to a solid start with four-star Jason Moore and 3-star Will Smith, Jr. But the Buckeyes just had three truly elite defensive linemen on campus for the Notre Dame game, and now it's looking like they could end up signing more than one of them.

BuckeyeHuddle.com recruiting analyst Marc Givler joins host Tom Orr to discuss where things stand right now with Keon Keeley, Damon Wilson, and Matayo Uiagalelei.

Plus, Marc got a chance to scout a number of potential future college football stars in person over the weekend, including the aforementioned Jason Moore, 2024 CB Aaron West, 2024 RB Jordan Marshall, and others. What did he learn, and what could it mean for the Buckeyes?

In this edition of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr spend some time talking about that team up north. Michigan beat up on Hawai'i as everyone expected, so the fellas spend most of the show talking about Wolverines quarterback JJ McCarthy. Is he the most dangerous Michigan quarterback the Buckeyes have ever faced? What makes him so dangerous? Why is he the right answer for Michigan? Will he be able to perform against an actual defense this year? All of these topics are discussed and more.

The head coach position at one of college football's most storied programs is now open. Nebraska fired Scott Frost on Sunday after a loss to Georgia Southern one day earlier.

A number of names have been floated as possible replacements, including former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss how likely they think the Meyer to Lincoln rumors really are.

Plus, Nebraska's loss was just one part of a shocking weekend across college football.

- Does Alabama's close call in Austin tell us more about the Longhorns being good or the Crimson Tide being vulnerable?

- Which team outside of the current top 5 is most likely to end up finishing the season ranked in the top 10?

- If Meyer doesn't go to Lincoln, where else could he end up, and who else should Nebraska look at?

The Ohio State Buckeyes improved to 2-0 on the 2022 season with a 45-12 win over Arkansas State.

The game wasn't exactly a masterpiece from beginning to end, but there were a lot of things for Buckeye fans to walk away feeling good about.

- The young wide receivers who continue to dominate in the passing game

- Another big game for the Buckeyes' thunder and lightning duo in the run game

- A quietly dominant day for CJ Stroud

- Jim Knowles defense locks down the opposing run game again

- Eight quarters of football played, only one touchdown allowed
