It's been a few weeks removed from the Ohio State football spring game and now with practices halted until fall camp, the rumors of who will be the starting QB for the Buckeyes this upcoming season have started to quiet. Head coach Ryan Day gave some insight at a press conference this week regarding the state of the QB battle and when Buckeye Nation should expect a decision between Will Howard and Devin Brown. Will Day learn from his mistakes from a year ago?

Harrison Butker, kicker for the Super Bowl inning Kansas City Chiefs, has gone viral over his commencement speech he gave over the weekend. Butker called out the men graduating to strive to embrace their masculinity, and he's now catching slack from the woke mob on social media. That and much more on today's episode including a discussion on which team wins in a head-to-head, the 2014 Ohio State Buckeyes or the 2023 Michigan Wolverines.

Marcus Freeman is entering a huge year for Notre Dame football in this upcoming college football season. After leading the program to 9 and 10 win seasons resepectively in each of his first two years as head coach for the Fighting Irish, he seems to be leading the program in the right direction. However, with the expanded playoffs for this season, one would figure Notre Dame has to make the playoffs at a minimum, for Marcus Freeman's job to be secure in South Bend. How different would his resume looked if he had 11 players on the field for the last play of last year's game vs Ryan Day and Ohio State? Let's discuss.

It has been a horrendous offseason for the defending college football champions. The Michigan football program has lost their head coach to the NFL, along with several other assistants. They've had coaches arrested for DUI's. They own one of the Big Ten's worst recruiting classes. Now, they're missing out on kids both in the transfer portal and on the recruiting trail to schools like Kentucky and Illinois. Is this an NIL issue for the Wolverines, or is the program in a complete tail spin with Sherrone Moore at the helm?

The hype train is up and running for the Ohio State football team this upcoming season. Many national pundits are already declaring this Buckeye roster as one of the best of all time. Joel Klatt thinks Ryan Day's squad is the clear favorite to dominate the Big Ten and make a run at a National Championship this upcoming season. Will this years Ohio State team rival the 2019 LSU Tigers in terms of roster dominance and translation to the NFL? Will this roster be enough to beat Michigan? Let's break it down.

There are some reports circulating that Ohio State football's new offensive coordinator is not a fan favorite amongst his former players. Two ex-Philadelphia Eagles, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy, went on a podcast saying that they couldn't stand playing for Chip Kelly. Will this be a problem for Ohio State players this upcoming season? In a year where national championship aspirations and avenging three straight losses to Michigan are in play, the Buckeyes can't afford to have any distractions in the locker room. Does Ryan Day need to address these reports with the OC and his players?

All the talk when Ohio State football landed former Ole Miss football RB Quinshon Judkins in the transfer portal was that e was a cancer in the locker room. We were told that Ryan Day and the Buckeyes had a "me guy" in their RB room. Now, we see Judkins take some of his NIL money and donate it to his high school football program. Are the rumors about Quinshon Judkins finally put to rest? Can he and TreVeyon Henderson co-exist in the same backfield next season in Ohio State's quest to dethrone Michigan as Big Ten champions?

The once ACC powerhouse, Clemson football, is officially on the decline as their stubborn head coach Dob Swinney refuses to adapt to the changes in the modern era of college football. As the spring window has come to a close, Clemson now has officially added zero players through the transfer portal in 2024. After a season of missing the playoffs, one would have thought Clemson would have attacked the portal heavy, especially considering their recruiting class ranks a measly 15th in the country. After a disappointing season for the Buckeyes, we saw Ryan Day attack the portal and bring in guys like Caleb Downs, Quinshon Judkins, and Will Howard. Perhaps it's time for Dabo to jump on board that trend at some point, or is it too late?

The 2024 college football season is by far the most important in recent Buckeye history. With three consecutive losses to arch-rival Michigan, coach Ryan Day's seat is getting warm and Ohio State needs to win this year in order for Day's job to feel safe. However, is a victory over the Wolverines enough for Ryan Day? With Oregon coming into the Big Ten conference this season, a new threat has arrived for the Buckeyes and their hopes at reclaiming the Big Ten Conference Championship. Is the early season game vs the Ducks in Eugene a must win for the Buckeyes?

ESPN just dropped their way too early mock draft for the 2025 NFL Draft, which included several Big Ten players, highlighted by many defensive stars from both Ohio State and Michigan including JT Tuimoloau. Denzel Burke, Will Johnson and Mason Graham. After Michigan tripled Ohio State's draftees in this years draft, who will have the upper hand next year? With Ryan Day bringing back so many starters from last year, one would think the Buckeyes will dominate in next years draft, but don't sleep on the defending national champs and Sherrone Moore, who have some key players of their own back in their quest to repeat.

Ohio State football's freshman sensation, Jeremiah Smith, has been turning heads and creating headlines all winter and spring so far for the Buckeyes. From making crazy catches during practice, to drawing rave reviews during the Ohio State spring game, Jeremiah Smith looks primed to become the next great Buckeye WR in a long lineage of superstars. Now, Ryan Day and Chip Kelly absolutely have to find ways to work the offense around him this upcoming season. With questionable QB play already a storyline heading into the season, the Buckeyes freshman can be beacon of hope for whoever is under center for Ohio State.

The spring transfer portal window has officially closed, and the "portal insanity" that was supposed to ensue in Columbus didn't really come to fruition. Dallan Hayden was the biggest name that entered the portal, but that was no surprise after Tony Alford departed Ohio State to take the RB coaching gig at Michigan. Meanwhile, after we were told for months that it was inevitable for one of the QB's to hit the portal, not a single one entered their name and Ryan Day will have all five of his guys on roster heading into the upcoming college football season. While all signs were starting to point to Will Howard being the starter, does the fact that all the QB's stayed mean that multiple guys think they can still win the job?

There's a lot of debate in Buckeye Nation surrounding the current state of the program in regards to Ohio State having only four players selected over this past weekend in the NFL Draft, the fewest of any draft class since Urban Meyer took over in Columbus. However, the Buckeyes saw plenty of draft-eligible players decide to come back in hopes of beating Michigan, and winning the Big Ten, while also chasing a National Championship. The chips are all in for the Buckeyes and this has become a make or break year for head coach Ryan Day to flip the narrative and save his legacy.

The 2024 NFL Draft marked the fewest number of Ohio State players selected in over 10 years. With only FOUR Buckeyes selected throughout this years draft, it's become pretty clear that Ohio State coach Ryan Day has a clear development issue within the program. What is the real reason behind this lack of development in the Woody? Is this a correlation with the losses to Michigan each of the last three seasons? How can Ohio State get back to producing NFL talent like they did so well for years?

The first round of the NFL Draft has come and gone, leaving many NFL fans shocked after last night's stunning turn of events. The first three or four picks went as expected, as Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, and Marvin Harrison Jr went in that order. But, plenty of shockers took place after those. The Falcons selected Michael Penix Jr in the top-10 ahead of both JJ McCarthy and Bo Nix. Malik Nabers went to the Giants after the Chargers elected to take an offensive lineman in Joe Alt. Lets breakdown some of the biggest moves from last night.

The day is finally here. It is time for the 2024 NFL Draft. We've spent the last few months dealing with all the draft silly season rumors and today we finally learn which were true all along and which were frauds. Is Michigan QB JJ McCarthy going to be a top-5 pick or this years version of Will Levis? Will Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr be the first receiver taken off the board or will it be LSU's Malik Nabers? Where will Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels go? Let's break it all down and address all the latest rumors heading into tonight.

We are less than 72 hours away from the Chicago Bears being on the clock Thursday night for the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. We will here all sorts of rumors from now until then regarding draft stocks skyrocketing and plummeting for different players. One subplot to keep an eye on is where Michigan QB JJ McCarthy will fall. Once regarded as the 4th or even 5th best QB in this years class, there's now some smoke that the Wolverine could go in the top-3 on Thursday night. Will JJ get drafted ahead of Ohio State football's Marvin Harrison Jr? Is the ex-Wolverine and Jim Harbaugh product going to be a bust in the NFL?

Ohio State and Ryan Day's prized possession in next year's recruiting class has got to be 5-star QB Tavien St. Clair. With last year, and potentially this year, resulting in mediocre QB play from the Buckeyes, it's crucial for Ryan Day to land a home run in this upcoming recruiting class. Will Howard and Devin Brown are clearly not the caliber of players that Buckeye nation is accustomed to at the QB position. Can St. Clair bring Ohio State QB play back to the level of CJ Stroud, Justin Fields, and Dwayne Haskins?

In the era of NIL and transfer portal, we're seeing a common problem throughout the sport of college football. Players are committing to and from schools at will throughout the recruitment process and then transferring to and from schools once they are enrolled. Ohio State and coach Ryan Day are familiar with this, as Dylan Raiola de-commit to two different schools, one of them being the Buckeyes, before finally landing with Matt Rhule and Nebraska. Now, Jaden Rashada is transferring from Arizona State after he also de-committed from several schools throughout his recruiting process. Is this problem fixable?

Spring practice has come and gone without Ohio State head coach Ryan Day giving any indication on who the starting QB would be for the upcoming season. Devin Brown is the longest tenured guy in the room, and has reportedly been ahead of the pack after a majority of the spring practices. Julian Sayin has shown flashes of brilliance while also reminding everyone that he is only a true freshman at times. Then there's the million dollar man: Will Howard. The transfer from Kansas State who's both won a conference championship, and lost the starting job in the middle of the season. After a hangout with Coach Day at his country club yesterday, is Howard the man to lead the Buckeyes offense for the 2024 college football season and end the losing streak to Michigan?

Breaking news hit yesterday afternoon when the NCAA dropped sanctions on the Michigan football program stemming back to a 2020 violation, referred to as 'Burger Gate', when Michigan coaches, including Jim Harbaugh, illegally met with recruits during what was supposed to be a dead period during the COVID pandemic. Is this the beginning of the end for the Michigan football program? As Ryan Day and Ohio State get set to avenge the last three losses to the Wolverines, it seems as though the folks in Ann Arbor will be preoccupied with the latest drama. Did Jim Harbaugh leave for the NFL to avoid punishment? Is Sherrone Moore doomed before he even starts the 2024 college football season?

Ohio State football hosted the first ever nationally televised spring game on Saturday afternoon in front of 80,000 plus packed into the Shoe. We saw some flashes of brilliance from lots of players. Devin Brown threw the game's lone touchdown pass. Emeka Egbuka made a fantastic one-handed catch. Jeremiah Smith received praise from all over the media. Will Howard made some solid throws. But the big question still looms for Ryan Day and the Buckeye offense... who will be the starting QB for the 2024 college football season?

The spring window of the transfer portal is officially open and we've already seen a couple big names hit the portal around college football, one of them being former Buckeye RB Dallan Hayden who could team up with his former coach in Michigan. With five different QBs vying for snaps in practice, one has to believe that one (if not more) of the Buckeyes QB room will be departing from Columbus. There's also the chance that Ohio State could lose some talent on the defensive side of the ball as well, after returning so many starters from last season. Head coach Ryan Day is doing all he can to please the roster and keep the majority of his current roster in tact, but it's inevitable that some players will be on their way out. Let's discuss who that might be!

We are two days away from the Ohio State spring game, and all of Buckeye Nation are eagerly awaiting to evaluate the QB's as they battle for the starting job on national television. Head coach Ryan Day once said that a decision on the starting QB would be made by the end of spring practice, but that's looking less and less likely, especially considering the insider information we've received from inside the Woody. Will Ryan Day make one of the boldest decisions in recent college football memory and start a freshman in a season with national championship aspirations?
