    Dec 25 2024

  • Ross Fulton Analysis: What Went Wrong For The Ohio State Defense At Oregon?
    Dec 24 2024
    This is a special encore presentation of the Ross Fulton Analysis show about the Ohio State defense following the Buckeyes 32-31 loss at Oregon earlier this season. Given the upcoming rematch, it seemed like a good time to look back at where things stood following that game. We will have multiple new shows with Ross coming up later this week to recap the win over Tennessee and preview the Rose Bowl against Oregon.

    Jim Knowles and the Ohio State defense had been among the very best in the nation through five games of the 2024 season, but when they traveled west to take on the Oregon Ducks, things went bad pretty quickly.

    Oregon rolled up 32 points and nearly 500 yards of total offense - at 7.6 yards per play - to hand the Buckeyes their first loss of the year. And while fans were quick to point a finger at a few specific plays and players, as always, the true cause of the issues was complicated.

    In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, BuckeyeHuddle.com Xs and Os guru Ross Fulton breaks down the issues he saw and what can be done to fix them.

    This is a special encore presentation of the Ross Fulton Analysis show about the Ohio State offense following the Buckeyes 32-31 loss at Oregon earlier this season. Given the upcoming rematch, it seemed like a good time to look back at where things stood following that game.

    The Ohio State offense put up 31 points, and nearly added a game-winning drive at the end of its game at Oregon last weekend.

    Ross Fulton, the Xs and Os guru at BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the good and the bad for Chip Kelly and Ryan Day's offense, and what it could mean moving forward.

  • Has Ohio State Finally Found Its Offensive Line?
    Dec 23 2024
    Ohio State has run out at least six different versions of its starting offensive line during the course of the 2024 college football season, due to both injuries and ineffectiveness. But Saturday night in the Horseshoe, the Buckeye line dominated Tennessee in a 42-17 win to set up a Rose Bowl rematch against the Oregon Ducks.

  • 5 Takeaways From Ohio State's 42-17 Demolition Of Tennessee
    Dec 22 2024
    After decades of hypotheticals, a touted SEC team finally had to travel north to Columbus, Ohio to play a meaningful game in midwestern December weather.

    Less than one quarter into the game, Ohio State was up, 21-0 on Tennessee, and Buckeye fans had a sarcastic "S-E-C! S-E-C!" chant rolling around the stadium.

    The first-ever College Football Playoff inside the Horseshoe couldn't have gone much better for Ohio State, as they rolled to a 42-17 win over the Volunteers that wasn't nearly as close as the score might indicate.

    Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of their key takeaways from the game, and what they will mean moving forward as Ohio State gets set to face top-ranked Oregon in the Rose Bowl.
