Cotton Bowl Preview: Improving Forecast Means Weather Unlikely To Delay The Game Jan 08, 2025

Show notes

NOTE: After this episode was recorded, the Cotton Bowl released the following statement.
We continue to monitor weather reports, and over the last 24 hours, the forecast for later this week has improved according to the National Weather Service. We have been meeting routinely with city officials, the Director of Transportation for North Texas and the College Football Playoff. Should the forecast shift, we are prepared for all contingencies. North Texas highways are already being brined and plans are in place to assure a safe environment for everyone in and around AT&T Stadium on game day. The teams arrive tomorrow, as planned, and the 2025 CFP Semifinal at the 89th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic will kick off on Friday evening as scheduled.
The Ohio State Buckeyes and Texas Longhorns will arrive in Dallas on Wednesday evening, but starting on Thursday, a winter storm is going to hit the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
North Texas isn't accustomed to dealing with ice and snow, and the storm is expected to cause big issues with road conditions. So could the Cotton Bowl be delayed by a day?
Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr in Texas with the latest on the forecast and its impact on the game. Plus a preview of Wednesday's team arrivals, and some of the biggest storylines of the week.

Ross Fulton Analysis: How Jim Knowles' Defense Locked Down Oregon In The Rose Bowl Jan 07, 2025

Ross Fulton Analysis: How Chip Kelly And Ryan Day Broke The Oregon Defense Jan 05, 2025

Show notes

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning built his career on a reputation as a defensive whiz, coming off the Nick Saban and Kirby Smart coaching trees and turning the Oregon Ducks into a national power.
But in the Rose Bowl, Lanning had no answers for the game plan that Ryan Day and Chip Kelly drew up for the Ohio State offense. The Buckeyes built a 34-0 lead in the second quarter, and at one point, were on pace to finish the game with 80 points and more than 900 yards of total offense.
How did they do it? In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru from BuckeyeHuddle.com explains how putting formations into the boundary, and using motion to create advantageous matchups, turned the Rose Bowl into a blowout.

2025 Cotton Bowl: How Can Ohio State Keep Its Edge? Jan 04, 2025

Show notes

In the wake of Ohio State's shocking loss to archrival Michigan, the Buckeyes had to listen to weeks of criticism in Columbus and around the nation. They funneled that anger onto the field, crushing Tennessee and Oregon in their first two College Football Playoff games.
Now, coming off one of the most dominating performances in program history against top-ranked Oregon in the Rose Bowl, a lot of those critics are now back on the bandwagon. So how can the Buckeyes maintain that "no one believes in us" mentality heading into what figures to be a hostile crowd against Texas in the Cotton Bowl?
In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answer to that question and many others from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, from his Cotton Bowl press conference on Friday.
