Ryan Day, Billy Fessler reveal the most important variable in picking Ohio State's next quarterback Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

After two days of spring practice Ohio State's quarterbacks and running backs spoke with the media as the two position groups hoped to have new stars emerge.

For the quarterbacks, it was a chance to not talk about the looming battle since no one seems to be focused on that element of this offseason. Instead, it turned into conversations about replacing Will Howard's best skill as QB1 in 2024.

for the running backs, it was the debut of a brand new room that position coach Carlos Locklyn thinks has a chance to be deeper than what he had in 2024.

On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis discuss what they heard. Plus three revelations after two spring practices.

What’s up with Ohio State football’s offensive line heading into spring practice? Mar 14, 2025

Show notes

One can argue that no Ohio State position group is dealing with more 'new' in 2025 than its offensive line.

OSU must find a way to replace four Day 1 starters from its 2024 lineup and the man in charge of doing that is new offensive line coach Tyler Bowen. Plus, there are three new freshmen and two new transfers who are both expected to push for starting roles.

On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis preview the offensive line, looking at all the names, goals for the spring and the group’s ceiling. Plus, a conversation about a former five-star and whether we think this group will be better, the same or worse than it was in 2024.
