Julian Sayin’s injury has forced Ohio State to turn the page. Luke Fahey is expected to get the first opportunity at quarterback, but that doesn’t mean the conversation ends there. What can Fahey bring to this offense? What does Ohio State need to see from him? And at what point could Tavien St. Clair become part of the equation? We’re joined by Jake Burns of Browns Film Breakdown to take a deeper look at the quarterback situation, what Fahey has shown, what St. Clair could potentially bring to the table, and how Ohio State can move forward without its starting quarterback.

The biggest game of the season is here. Ohio State heads to Bloomington to take on an undefeated Indiana team in a matchup that has everything you want in a Big Ten game. We’re taking a closer look at what Indiana does well, where Ohio State could have an advantage, and the individual matchups that will shape this one. We’ll look at Indiana’s defensive front and the challenge it presents for Julian Sayin and the Buckeye offensive line, while also breaking down Josh Hoover, Nick Marsh, and the Hoosiers’ passing game. On the other side, we’ll talk about what Ohio State needs to do offensively, how Bo Jackson factors in with Ja’Kobi Jackson out, and what Matt Patricia and the Buckeye defense need to take away. Then we’ll finish by putting it all together — our keys to the game, who we think will step up, and our predictions for how this top-five matchup plays out. This is a preview.

Indiana week is here, and Tuesday’s press conference gave us plenty to discuss. Ryan Day made it clear that last year’s Big Ten Championship loss is in the past, but he also knows the challenge ahead. From Indiana’s defensive front and Ohio State’s offensive-line adjustments to Julian Sayin’s continued development, there are several storylines worth watching as the Buckeyes prepare for Saturday. On this episode of BFB, we’re focusing on what Day, Sayin, and Payton Pierce actually said at today’s press conference, what stood out to us, and what their comments tell us about the matchup ahead. What did we learn from the podium, and what matters most when Ohio State takes the field Saturday? Let’s break it down. This a preview!

Ohio State handled business against Maryland, coming away with a 45–16 win and extending its home winning streak to 12 games. Julian Sayin threw four touchdown passes, Jeremiah Smith continued to make explosive plays, and Bo Jackson helped lead a rushing attack that finished with 207 yards. Defensively, the Buckeyes held Maryland to just 146 total yards, continuing the momentum built against Iowa. But it wasn’t a perfect performance. A pick-six and continued areas for improvement give us plenty to discuss as Ohio State turns its attention to Indiana. On this episode of BFB, we’re breaking down what stood out on both sides of the ball, the individual performances that mattered, and what this win tells us about the Buckeyes moving forward.

Ohio State took care of business at Iowa, delivering a physical performance on both sides of the ball. The Buckeyes ran for 160 yards, held Iowa to just 39 rushing yards, and got another record-setting performance from Jeremiah Smith. Now, the focus shifts to Maryland. With the Terrapins coming to Columbus, there are plenty of questions to answer. Can Ohio State continue to establish its identity in the running game? How will Julian Sayin and the passing attack build on their recent success? Can the defense carry its performance against Iowa into another week? And what matchups could give the Buckeyes an advantage on Saturday? With Slate out, Jeremy is riding solo to break down the matchup, examine the offensive and defensive keys to the game, and explain what he wants to see from Ohio State as Big Ten play continues. The Buckeyes have momentum, but the challenge is turning one strong performance into consistent football week after week. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The win at Iowa felt different. Ohio State went into Kinnick, controlled the line of scrimmage, ran the football, held Iowa to just 39 rushing yards and walked out with a 31–14 win over an undefeated, ranked Hawkeye team. But what did we actually learn? Are we looking at the best version of Ohio State yet? Did Iowa prove the Buckeyes are becoming a more physical football team? And before we start talking seriously about another national championship run, what still needs to be cleaned up? On this episode of BFB, we’re taking your big-picture questions coming out of Iowa and breaking down what that performance really tells us about this Ohio State team. Four questions. One big conversation: How good can these Buckeyes be? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Ohio State has already been tested on the road this season. The Buckeyes went into Austin and came within one point of beating Texas. Now they get another ranked opponent away from home — this time in Big Ten play, against a 4–0 Iowa team that just went into Ann Arbor and beat Michigan. Iowa presents a different challenge. The Hawkeyes are running the football with multiple backs, Hank Brown has provided stability at quarterback, and Phil Parker has his defense playing at one of the highest levels in the country. For Ohio State, there are some obvious areas to watch.

The Illinois game is over. The film has been watched. Now we’re starting to get an idea of how Ohio State is responding to it. Ryan Day and Kenyatta Jackson both addressed the media Tuesday, and there was a pretty clear theme running through both press conferences: Do your job. Day talked about defensive execution, creating more pressure, getting more production from the defensive line and not trying to get too cute against Iowa. Jackson was even more direct, talking about “hero ball,” gap discipline and the importance of playing all 60 minutes. So what should we actually take from those comments? On this episode of Buckeye Film Breakdown, we’re breaking down the biggest messages from the Day and Jackson pressers, what they tell us about the Illinois film, and what Ohio State needs to correct before heading to Iowa.

Big Ten football is about more than getting out to a lead. It’s about finishing. Ohio State built a 28–10 halftime lead against Illinois, but the Illini didn’t simply go away. They continued to run the football, made some explosive plays and put pressure on the Buckeyes to answer. And Ohio State did. A 19-play, 97-yard drive. Another touchdown from Jeremiah Smith. A defense that eventually got the stops it needed. And an offense that continued to make plays when the game started to tighten up. On this episode of Buckeye Film Breakdown, we’re closing the door on Illinois. What did Ohio State do well? Where did the Buckeyes make things harder than they needed to? What did we learn about Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and this offense? And what does the tape tell us about a defense that still has some things to clean up? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The non-conference schedule is behind us. Now the real season begins. Illinois brings a new-look defense, an efficient quarterback in Katin Houser and one of the nation’s most productive receivers in Collin Dixon. We’ll break down what the Buckeyes need to be ready for, the matchups we’re watching and the keys to the game. Then we’ll put our predictions on the table — score, MVP, biggest matchup and biggest surprise. This is just the preview.

The non-conference schedule is over. Now the real work begins. Ryan Day met with the media Tuesday ahead of Ohio State’s Big Ten opener against Illinois, and there was plenty to unpack. Day addressed the areas that still need to improve, including third down, finishing drives in the red zone, special teams and the running game. He also challenged his running backs to “run angry” and said how they practice this week will determine how they play Saturday. We also got more insight into Jason Moore’s emergence, Eddrick Houston’s role moving forward, the offensive line situation, and Luke Fahey’s continued rise as Ohio State’s No. 2 quarterback. So, what should we actually take from Day’s comments? What is Ohio State trying to fix? What should we be watching against Illinois? And which of the issues Day addressed could become the biggest factor once Big Ten play gets rolling? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ohio State did exactly what it needed to do against Kent State — win 59–3, build some confidence and move forward.

But there are still things the Buckeyes need to shore up before Big Ten play begins. In this preview, we take a quick look back at Kent State, identify the positives, and focus on what Ohio State needs to clean up moving forward. This is just the preview.

The Texas game is over. It still hurts, but it’s time to close the door on Austin and move forward. In this preview, Jake Burns from Browns Film Breakdown joins us to break down what we saw from Ohio State on both sides of the ball. What did the Buckeyes do well? Where did things break down? And what can we take from the Texas game without allowing one fourth quarter to define this team? Then we turn the page to Kent State. What do we need to see from the Ohio State offense?
