Arthur Smith is putting his stamp on the Ohio State Buckeyes offense, and the biggest question is just how different things will look in 2026.

Will Ohio State lean harder on the running game? Will the tight ends finally become a bigger part of the passing attack? Could we see more snaps under center and fewer frustrating bubble screens?

Tito also reacts to Ohio State naming seven team captains, including Brandon Inniss, Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, Austin Siereveld, Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Payton Pierce and Jaylen McClain. Inniss also earns the prestigious Block O honor as one of the Buckeyes’ biggest team leaders.

On this episode of Buckeyes Blitz, Jeff “Tito” Thitoff dives into his time around Ohio State practice and his conversations with athletic director Ross Bjork, including the realities of running one of the biggest athletic departments in America.
