Ohio State shake up their offensive identity as Julian Sayin’s steady leadership and emergence as QB1 prove vital with Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate battling injuries. Can the Buckeyes’ young and green wide receiver core, featuring Bryson Rodgers, Mylan Graham, Quincy Porter, and Brandon Inniss, deliver with Senior Day and Big Ten Championship aspirations on the line?

Jay Stephens breaks down Ryan Day’s strategic approach, including the evolving running back rotation—Isaiah West, Bo Jackson, and James Peoples—and a controversial platoon at right guard between Tegra Tshabola and Gabe VanSickle. Key topics include Ohio State’s improved pass protection, development of offensive rookies under Brian Hartline, and the implications for postseason matchups. With the national championship in sight, can the Buckeyes overcome adversity and maintain their winning edge?
