We’re back with our February offseason episode, which starts with a lengthy letter from a listener. We’re always happy to hear from our listeners, and in this case, the email prompted quite a bit of discussion about Ryan Day, Julian Sayin, and other aspects of Ohio State football. We love a good conversation starter!
We also covered a whole lot of offseason topics, with one of the primary ones being the hiring of Arthur Smith as the team’s new offensive coordinator. We discussed how it may affect the passing game and help Bo Jackson and the running game in 2026. We still expect the deep ball to Jeremiah Smith to be part of the offense, but you may experience some new flavors this year.
There are more than 300 players heading to the NFL Combine and 11 of them are Buckeyes. We talk about who is going and the entire pre-draft process.
Our discussion of Ohio State’s 2026 schedule includes the complete slate of games, and this fall looks to be a true gauntlet for the men of the scarlet & gray. The Buckeyes will have their hands full, with a lot of difficult road tests in hostile environments, and a lot of top-quality teams. If Day can navigate those turbulent waters to another College Football Playoff appearance, his team will be battle tested.
There are a lot of new arrivals in the transfer portal, and we give a rundown of who’s new. There are exciting new arrivals on offense, defense, and special teams, and it seems Day has prioritized that third phase of the game in this offseason.
NOTE: We are in our offseason schedule, so we will be back at least monthly, with the understanding that we may convene if we line up a guest, get some unexpectely big news, or just get a whole lot of noteworthy things to talk about. If not, we’ll see you next month.
We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email. Any questions directed toward us will be answered on our next show.
