BONUS: How Maryland Is Approaching The Challenge Of Ohio State Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

You've heard a lot from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day this week. This episode is going to be very different. This time, you'll hear some of the most interesting answers from the press conference of Maryland head coach Mike Locksley.
He's in a very, very different spot than Day and the Buckeyes are. Maryland enters this weekend on a three-game losing streak, and as an underdog of more than 30 points. Locksley's job status is pretty precarious as well, as he entered the year on the hot seat and hasn't done much to cool things off.
In this episode, you'll hear his thoughts on preparing for an offense including Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith, the challenge of facing a program with two former NFL head coaches as its coordinators, whether Maryland can ever compete with teams like Ohio State in the modern recruiting landscape, and more.

Ross Fulton Analysis: Was Ohio State Defense As Concerning As It Looked vs. Iowa? Oct 09, 2026

So what went wrong for Matt Patricia's defense, and how did they fix it? In this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, Ross looks at how Iowa was able to scheme its receivers open in the first half, and how the Buckeyes adjusted to lock things down after the break.

Show notes

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day had one of the more insightful and interesting interview sessions of the week following practice on Wednesday night.
Day was asked some intriguing questions about specific players and big-picture topics, and had a lot to say about all of it.
In this special bonus episode, you'll hear from Day about some very big-picture topics including:

What they've learned after adding 51 new players during the offseason, and how that impacted things during the offseason and even into the year.
Whether those lessons learned might impact their approach to personnel in the future.
Day frequently talks about challenging individual players, entire position groups, or even the whole team. What does that actually look like in his program?
What is the identity of this year's Ohio State team in all three phases of the game?

Ross Fulton Analysis: How Arthur Smith Is Finding New Ways To Get Jeremiah Smith The Ball Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

The Ohio State Buckeyes have one of the greatest players in recent memory on this year's team in Jeremiah Smith, and it's not exactly a secret. So with opposing teams laser-focused on taking him away, how has offensive coordinator Arthur Smith been able to manipulate defenses to continue getting him the ball?
In this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, he takes a look at that, plus the Buckeyes continue to have an efficient run game that moves the chains, but which hasn't been able to turn that into big, explosive runs. What's working, and what isn't, on the ground for the Buckeyes?
Plus, how Iowa mixed things up to generate pressure on Julian Sayin, and how the Buckeyes responded.

BONUS: Whats Wrong With Ohio State's Special Teams? Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

Ohio State's offense ranks No. 2 in the nation in SP+ following the Iowa game. The defense is No. 3.
The special teams? They're 100th in the nation, out of 138 teams in FBS.
So what the heck is going on in the kicking game? Ryan Day brought in Robby Discher to be the special teams coordinator during the offseason, and the team is still missing field goals and failing to kill punts inside the 10.
In this special bonus episode, you'll hear from Day about his thoughts on the special teams, just how big of an issue they are, and what the plan is to fix them.

BONUS: Why Isn't Khary Wilder Playing More? Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

Freshman DE Khary Wilder has made a major impact in the pass rush during the snaps when he's been on the field, but those snaps have been few and far between over the last few weeks, including the Iowa game when he didn't play at all.
So what is keeping the talented edge rusher off the field at a time when the Buckeyes are looking to get more pressure on opposing quarterbacks?
In this bonus episode, you'll hear the answer to that and much more directly from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day.

BONUS: Are Ja'Kobi Jackson & The Running Game Making Progress? Oct 07, 2026

In this special bonus episode, you'll hear from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day about the ground game, whether he thinks you can build a national championship team around a wide receiver, and more.
