  • Did Buckeyes check all necessary boxes this offseason?

    Did Buckeyes check all necessary boxes this offseason?
    Feb 13 2026
    Typically, college football programs didn't know what their full rosters would look like until the beginning of summer. For example, Ohio State added defensive end Beau Atkinson via the portal in June last year. Not that Atkinson was a huge addition, but he's just one of many examples across the country. Well, due to the one-time transfer portal window in January, teams now know what their rosters will look like before they even enter spring ball. Ohio State also made some key additions to its coaching staff. So, with spring ball less than a month away, do we feel like the Buckeyes checked all the necessary boxes during the whirlwind "offseason?" That is the main topic of discussion on the Friday the 13th 5ish with Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle.

    How big of a jump will Buckeyes' offense make in 2026? | New hoops coach if OSU misses Big Dance?
    Feb 11 2026
    Ohio State finished with the No. 26 total offense in college football in 2025. Not bad by any means. But with eight starters returning, including quarterback Julian Sayin, wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, running back Bo Jackson and a veteran offensive line, how much will the Buckeyes improve on that side of the ball? Can they be a top-10 offense nationally? Perhaps top-five? Also, if Ohio State's men's basketball team misses the NCAA Tournament again, is it time for a new head coach to lead the program? The Buckeyes have what appears to be a must-win game at home against USC this evening. Dave Biddle and Steve Helwagen opine on those topics and more on the Wednesday 5ish.

  • Did Buckeyes reload enough on defense this offseason?

    Did Buckeyes reload enough on defense this offseason?
    Feb 9 2026
    Ohio State had the No. 1 defense in the country in 2025, but the Buckeyes are losing eight starters off of that unit, including four players who are projected as first-round picks. We have no doubt OSU will still be very good defensively in 2026, but can the Buckeyes maintain their pace from last year? Or should we expect a small step backward? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin delve into that and more on the Monday 5ish.
