THE Podcast: Ohio State Football News

It was a big news day at Ohio State as Gene Smith announced he'll be retiring next summer. It was also a big day as Ryan Day met with the media to talk about some of things he's thinking after one week of fall camp, including a surprise decision with Josh Fryar and the left tackle spot.

THE Podcast Daily is back with another preseason stock watch as Austin Ward, Bill Landis and Jeremy Birmingham break down which Buckeyes players have moved up the list when it comes to Ohio State expectations.

What's bothering Ohio State fans? On this episode of Kings of Columbus, Doug Lesmerises is taking Buckeye Beefs from Ohio State fans. That runs from questions about the Jim Knowles' defense to moving the Michigan game to defensive recruiting. Oh, and parking etiquette. 

It's all covered in these Buckeye Beefs.

Ohio State has changed defensive coaches a number of times in the last few years but now enter year two with Jim Knowles and Perry Eliano and the Buckeyes are hoping that their defense reaps the benefits from that consistency.

THE Podcast was on-hand in Columbus on Tuesday as Eliano and Ohio State's safeties met with the media to discuss their expectations for the 2023 season.

THE Podcast is back at Roosters on Olentangy River Road and the Buckeyes are back on the practice field working toward their season opener against Indiana.
