Land-Grant Podcast Network: An Ohio State University podcast

Throughout the year, Matt Tamanini and Jami Jurich will be getting into all things Ohio State and college football on "No Fall Weddings." On the new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s “No Fall Weddings,” Jami Jurich and Matt Tamanini discuss how much is too much when criticizing and critiquing the best team in college football. No, Ohio State isn't perfect, but does it feel like fans are overly angry about fixable problems, or that some media members are nitpicking just to nitpick? Obviously, this is a fraught conversation for two people from Land-Grant, but when you love a team that is as good as this one, why rob the joy with seeking out things to be mad about? Then, as always, the duo breaks down their top-12 teams in college football, makes their chaos picks of the week, and recommends something from outside the world of college football that you should check out.

On today’s episode of “Land-Grant Uncut,” we are bringing you unedited audio from Ryan Day's Tuesday, Sept. 30 media availability. In his weekly chat with the Buckeye beat, the head coach discusses how his team weathered the hostile environment in Washington last weekend, the toughness that Minnesota plays, and some of the things his team is still working on. He dives into his offense's ongoing issues scoring in the red zone, uneven special teams play, and some of the players who have taken substantial steps forward since last season. As always, the press conference audio supplied by Ohio State struggles when it comes to media members asking questions, the quality isn't always great. However, the audio quality from the podium is crystal clear.

Ohio State passed its first major road test of the 2025 season by traveling to the Pacific Northwest and ending the Washington Huskies’ long home winning streak. The Buckeyes employed a conservative game plan, made some early mistakes, and still won comfortably on the road against a good Huskies team. How good Washington is remains to be seen, but the environment was top notch and a good proving ground for redshirt freshman quarterback Julian Sayin. We look back at the big plays, moments, and players (we see you, Caden Curry, Kayden McDonald, and Bo Jackson!) in the game, check on our picks to click to see how they performed, and review our game predictions from last week to see how close we were. After our Ohio State-Washington rewind, we took our weekly lap around the B1G to see how other teams made out in Week 5. There as an unexpected nailbiter in Iowa City as the Hawkeyes gave Indiana a scare. Illinois bounced back from its 53-point loss to the Hoosiers by beating USC at home, despite getting jobbed at the end of the first half. The Oregon-Penn State game was worth they hype. Other results were about what we expected. We also looked ahead to the matchups this weekend. Finally, we previewed the Buckeyes’ upcoming home game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. P.J. Fleck’s team doesn’t usually make things easy on the opposition, and we’re expecting this game to be annoyingly close for at least the first half. Ohio State has the talent to pull away later in the game, but the Buckeyes will have to take care of the ball and finish drives to have a good showing against Minnesota. We selected our picks to click for the Buckeyes on Saturday, and made our predictions for what the Ohio Stadium scoreboard will show at the end of Saturday night’s game. 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 at SilverBulletsPod@gmail.com.

As always, thanks for listening! 0:20 - The Buckeyes got a big road win, and Caden Curry was a big reason why. Ohio State waited a while to score, but then took control of the game. 35:24 - Illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, Minnesota, and Oregon joined the Buckeyes as winners on Saturday. More big B1G games are coming up this weekend. 55:33 - We look ahead to Drake Lindsey, Minnesota’s committee of tailbacks, and the rest of the Golden Gophers looking to compete with the Buckeyes under the lights at the Shoe on Saturday.

On Off-Script Ohio, brought to you by Land-Grant Holy Land, Cole VanWiechen and Joey Gertz broke down Ohio State’s 24–6 win at Washington, a defensive masterpiece that snapped the Huskies’ 22-game home winning streak. It wasn’t the offensive fireworks many expected. The Buckeyes stalled in the red zone and fumbled away a scoring chance, but Julian Sayin managed the game effectively, making the throws he needed when it mattered most. The story of the night, however, was Ohio State’s defense. The Buckeyes held the Big Ten’s highest-scoring offense to just six points, shutting down a Washington attack that had averaged more than 40 points per game. The game plan was simple but brilliant, spy quarterback Demond Williams and take away his legs. Arvelle Reese and Sonny Styles executed it perfectly, holding Williams to -28 rushing yards while the defensive line stayed disciplined in their lanes. Jonah Coleman managed 70 yards on the ground, but 35 came on a single play. Outside of that run, the Buckeyes bottled him up and forced Washington into obvious passing situations. Caden Curry turned in a career night, tying the Ohio State single-game tackles-for-loss record and creating constant havoc in the backfield. Offensively, Bo Jackson continued to establish himself as the Buckeyes’ clear lead back, running with authority and vision. Jeremiah Smith was once again the go-to target, proving that force-feeding him the ball works. Carnell Tate and Brandon Innis chipped in as well, though Innis’s costly fumble killed a promising drive and red zone issues once again left points on the board. Special teams may be in for a shake-up, too, after Innis struggled as a punt returner. Along the offensive line, Phillip Daniels had a shaky night with multiple penalties and a sack allowed, while Tywone Malone seems to be climbing ahead of sophomore Eddrick Houston in the defensive line rotation. It was a wild weekend beyond Seattle as well. Four top-10 teams (Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 8) all lost, while Oregon edged Penn State in overtime, Illinois stunned USC with a walk-off win, and Michigan rolled on. Alabama’s 24–21 upset of Georgia snapped the Bulldogs’ 32 game home winning streak and put Nick Saban’s program firmly back in the SEC title conversation. Now Ohio State returns home for a primetime matchup against Minnesota. The Gophers bring a top-10 defense and one of the nation’s stingiest run defenses, but their secondary can be attacked. Expect Ryan Day to lean on Sayin and the passing game early, while Bo Jackson looks poised for another big night if the offensive line can open up lanes. Joey predicts a 31–7 Buckeye win, while Cole has it 35–6. Either way, Ohio State has momentum and confidence heading into October after delivering one of the most impressive defensive performances of the college football season.

The latest episode of Land Grant Holy Land’s Horseshoe Hangover is here! Join Alex Frank and Ryan Weckstein as they help you get through any lingering feelings you may have from the weekend while recapping Ohio State’s latest game and looking ahead to the next game. The No. 1 Buckeyes passed their first road test, and first Big Ten game, of the season with a 24-6 win at Washington on Saturday, led by their dominant defensive line. Alex and Ryan get into what makes this defensive line so good and why it was so vital to the game on Saturday. With the Buckeyes offense still coming out slow to start the game, the defense allowed them to settle into the rhythm and flow of the game. Julian Sayin played a mistake-free game on Saturday. For this being his first road start and first Big Ten game, he deserves a lot of praise. Alex and Ryan discuss what allowed him to have the success he had on Saturday playing in a tough environment. Bo Jackson continued his strong case to be the Buckeyes lead running back on Saturday, and the Buckeyes as a whole had success running the ball against a stingy Washington defense. Alex and Ryan then hand out their game balls on both offense and defense and give their first looks at next week's prime time home showdown with Minnesota.

While the Huskies have been good through their first three games of the season, they have done so against bad competition and have given up a considerable amount of points in doing so. From there, they get into what they think has to happen for the Buckeyes to leave Seattle undefeated, what they think Ryan Day will do with Bo Jackson and the backfield, and much more.

Throughout the year, Matt Tamanini and Jami Jurich will be getting into all things Ohio State and college football on "No Fall Weddings." On the new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s “No Fall Weddings,” Jami Jurich and Matt Tamanini discuss the fact that they feel like they are taking crazy pills, as everyone in the college football world expects Saturday's Ohio State and Washington game ot be close. However, Jami and Matt can't figure out why. Yes, Washington is a good team, but they have given up a lot of points to below-average teams, and their three wins on the season have come against some pretty suspect squads. After they discuss their confusion, they also vent about the current state of streaming sports in America. Then, as always, the duo breaks down their top-12 teams in college football, makes their chaos picks of the week, and recommends something from outside the world of college football that you should check out.

With Ohio State off over the weekend, there was nothing for Buckeye fans to do but check out the other games around the country. Whether it was watching Clemson lose again, checking in on Michigan at Nebraska, or staying up late to see if Sparty could take down the men of Troy, there was plenty to watch on Saturday. We start this week’s show with a look at the latest Ohio State players to lose their black helmet stripes over the last couple of weeks, becoming “official” members of the team. We also discussed Ross Bjork’s efforts to get Ohio State’s vacated wins from 2010 reinstated. If the NCAA suddenly doesn’t think it’s fair to punish players for the actions of their coaches, there should be no issue overturning those vacated wins, as Jim Tressel lying to the NCAA was the most serious offense of the bunch. The players themselves wouldn’t have had to trade/sell their own belongings to get tattoos in the era of NIL, so it sucks for them that they parted with keepsakes they might regret getting rid of with the benefit of hindsight.  After touching on the recent OSU news, we took our weekly lap around the B1G to see how other teams made out in Week 4 . Nebraska turned down some early points and it came back to bite the Huskers. Washington, Oregon, and Indiana look formidable, while Illinois and Wisconsin came out of Saturday not looking so hot.  We also looked ahead to the matchups this weekend, although many teams around the conference are having their bye weeks. The Oregon-Penn State game and Ohio State at Washington are the marquee matchups on Saturday, so get your snacks ready.  Finally, we previewed the Buckeyes’ trip to the Pacific Northwest to take on Washington at Husky Stadium. There are few environments in college football as hostile for visitors, and it will be Julian Sayin’s first road start. We’re eager to see if the young signal caller continues to play calmly and throw accurately in the face of adversity. We also made our picks to click, selecting the players we think will shine for Ohio State on Saturday, and made our predictions on what the final score will be when the game concludes.  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 at SilverBulletsPod@gmail.com.

On Episode 6 of Off-Script Ohio, brought to you by Land-Grant Holy Land, Cole VanWiechen and Joey Gertz broke down a chaotic Saturday across college football and set the stage for Ohio State’s looming road trip to Washington. It was a bye week in Columbus, but the Big Ten produced plenty of drama. Michigan survived a scare from Nebraska, winning 30–27 behind Dylan Raiola’s 308 yards and three touchdowns. Justice Haynes continued his climb toward the Heisman conversation, while Bryce Underwood managed the game well enough to get the job done. At this point, Michigan looks like it will enter The Game with a 9–2 or 10–1 record, a heavyweight clash waiting to happen. Elsewhere, Indiana blew the doors off Illinois 63–10 in what may have been the biggest statement of the weekend. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza was nearly flawless, vaulting himself into the Heisman race and making the Hoosiers a legitimate Big Ten contender. For Ohio State, the win makes a future matchup with Indiana look significantly tougher, while Illinois now appears far less intimidating. Outside the conference, the scoreboard sent ripple effects through the national picture. Oklahoma edged Auburn 24–17 to position itself as a frontrunner in the SEC, while Syracuse handed Clemson its third loss of the season in a 34–21 upset that may have ended the Tigers’ playoff hopes. Texas Tech looked like a Big 12 contender in a 34–10 dismantling of Utah, and Washington kept rolling with a 59–24 Apple Cup win over Washington State. That Washington victory only adds weight to what awaits the Buckeyes this coming weekend. The Huskies are 3–0 and boast the nation’s second-longest home winning streak at 21 games. They haven’t lost in Seattle since 2021, and they’ve put together an offense that currently ranks 10th in total yards per game at 536. Demond Williams has been sensational at quarterback, completing 74 percent of his passes for 778 yards and six touchdowns without a pick, while also rushing for 220 yards and two scores. Against Washington State, he accounted for nearly 400 total yards and five touchdowns. Running back Jonah Coleman has been just as explosive, scoring nine touchdowns in three games while averaging nearly seven yards per carry. He’s also been heavily involved as a receiver, posting 150 yards through the air, including a 100-yard receiving performance against Washington State. Denzel Boston leads the wideouts with 16 catches and three touchdowns, more than doubling the production of anyone else in the receiver room. Defensively, Washington has been steady if unspectacular, ranking 25th in total defense and ninth against the run. Their competition hasn’t been elite, but the unit has held opponents to just 62 rushing yards per game. Still, Colorado State and UC Davis are not Ohio State, and the Huskies will face their first real test when the Buckeyes come to town. For Ohio State, the spotlight shifts to key matchups. The defensive line led by Kayden McDonald, Tywone Malone, and sophomore Eddrick Houston will need to limit Washington’s rushing attack and force Williams into obvious passing downs. At linebacker, Arvelle Reese looks poised for a spy role to contain Williams’ scrambling ability, while Sonny Styles will have to be sharp in coverage and run fits alike. On the other side, sophomore quarterback Julian Sayin will be tasked with handling the noise and pressure of a hostile road environment. Through three games, Sayin has thrown for 779 yards and eight touchdowns with a 79 percent completion rate, a start that has already drawn comparisons to C.J. Stroud and Justin Fields. With Washington looming, those answers will matter. The Huskies’ balanced offense and unbeaten home streak present a measuring stick for a young Buckeye team still finding its identity. By next weekend, we’ll know much more about just how far this group can go. Theme music provided by Audiio. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ohio State was on a bye week this past weekend, but there is still plenty to talk about. Alex and Ryan give their favorite games they watched this past weekend with the Buckeyes on idle. Then, they get into how the Buckeyes explosive offense could be even better this season. It relies on their running game getting going, which Bo Jackson could be the catalyst for that. The Big Ten is, once again, the strongest conference in college football as we approach the end of September. Indiana showed that they are for real, again. Alex and Ryan give their Big Ten State of the Union going into Big Ten play and who the contenders are from the pretenders.
