    How Is Ohio State Racking Up So Many Sacks This Season?
    Dec 28 2024
    The Ohio State defense has gotten to the quarterback much more this season than in previous years. Jim Knowles' unit has 39 sacks already in 2024, compared to just 28 last season. It's the most sacks for a Buckeye defense since the Chase Young-led monsters of 2019 led the nation with 54.

    How did this year's pass rush start getting home more often? In this special bonus episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear the answer to that question and much more directly from JT Tuimoloau. The fourth-year standout has been a big part of that pass-rushing success, and shares his thoughts on getting a second crack at Oregon, why he and Jack Sawyer work so well together, and more.

    Is Jim Knowles' Revamped Defense Ready For The Ducks?
    Dec 28 2024
    Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles has put together one of the absolute best units in the nation this year by almost every statistical metric.

    In this special bonus episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Knowles about that and much more.

  • Ross Fulton Analysis: What Went Wrong For The Ohio State Defense At Oregon?

    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.

    While the news on the defensive side of the ball was mostly bad, there were a lot of positives to take from the performance of the offense.

    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.
