  • What Jeremiah Smith MUST Do to Win the Heisman

    What Jeremiah Smith MUST Do to Win the Heisman
    2026/07/02
    What would it take for Jeremiah Smith to win the Heisman Trophy?

    Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss the kind of season Ohio State’s superstar wide receiver would need to put together to become a serious Heisman contender. They compare Smith’s potential numbers to past wide receiver Heisman-like seasons, including DeVonta Smith and Michael Crabtree, and discuss why stats alone may not be enough.

    They also look at how defenses will try to limit Jeremiah Smith, why big performances against Texas, Oregon, Indiana, and Michigan would matter, how red-zone usage could boost his touchdown total, and whether Heisman voters may hold his position — or his already massive expectations — against him.

    They compare Sayin’s chances to recent Heisman quarterback seasons, discuss how Jeremiah Smith could both help and hurt his campaign, and look back at how much the award has changed from the days of Gino Torretta, Andre Ware, David Klingler, Cam Newton, Troy Smith, and others.

  • The Four BIGGEST Linebacker Concerns

    The Four BIGGEST Linebacker Concerns
    2026/07/09
    Ohio State lost two elite linebackers from last year’s national championship defense, so how concerned should Buckeye fans be about the position in 2026?

    In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss the biggest linebacker concerns facing Ohio State this season, including the challenge of replacing Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese, the pressure on Payton Pierce as the new leader of the defense, the importance of tackling consistency, and how much Riley Pettijohn, Christian Allegro, TJ Alford, Eli Lee, and others could factor into the rotation.

    The Buckeyes may not have two first-round linebackers again, but can Matt Patricia and the Ohio State defense still find the right answers?
