The Buckeye Weekly Podcast

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr recap Monday's media availability with Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson. Wilson discussed the lengths the program has to go to in order to have a great offense. He answered questions about the Buckeye defense. And he spoke about his position group and provided updates on the tight ends overall. The Buckeye tight ends were also made available and there were plenty of updates there as well. Tom and Tony discuss everything that was heard and said, and then spend a final few minutes on the naming of captains late last week.

Ohio State is close to a unanimous pick to not only win the Big Ten and make the College Football Playoff, but potentially do even more than that. But as the Buckeyes head into practice no. 10 of fall camp, there are still some unanswered questions for the program.

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the three biggest questions for this year's Ohio State football team.

- With only six scholarship cornerbacks and three currently at something less than full-go, will they have enough healthy players to lock down opposing passing attacks?

- There has been a lot of change at linebacker, from personnel to coaching to scheme. So are there any sure things there?

- While the top-5 of the offensive line is seemingly in good shape, how many backups does the coaching staff really trust right now?

It has been a little bit since I have been with everyone here on the Big Me Kickoff but let me re-introduce myself as we get started talking some Buckeyes football. A lot going on and I have plenty on my mind as I talk transfer portal and several other topics as we get closer to the start of the season as the Buckeyes look to bounce back after a 2021 season that ended on a high note but didn't exactly get across the correct finish line.

For the first (and likely only) time this fall, the media got a chance to watch a full Ohio State football practice Thursday morning at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Ohio State's defense should look very different, and likely much better than it did in 2021. But what are the Buckeyes actually going to be doing differently this fall?
