🏈 TODAY'S TOP OHIO STATE STORIES

🔥 OHIO STATE ROLLS MARYLAND, 45-16!

The Buckeyes controlled the Terrapins, piling up 449 total yards while allowing just 146.

Ohio State dominated the ground game with 207 rushing yards and controlled possession for more than 34 minutes.

But despite the lopsided final score, there were still areas that need improvement.

🔥 JULIAN SAYIN THROWS FOUR TOUCHDOWNS!

Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin completed 13 of 21 passes for 242 yards and four touchdowns.

But one interception and inconsistent offensive execution provide additional areas for improvement.

🔥 BO JACKSON POWERS THE BUCKEYES!

Running back Bo Jackson delivered 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries.

Ohio State established control on the ground while wearing down Maryland's defense.

Can the Buckeyes continue running effectively against Indiana?

🔥 JEREMIAH SMITH CONTINUES TO DELIVER!

Smith remains one of college football's most dangerous offensive weapons.

His ability to create explosive plays could become particularly important against Indiana.

🔥 RYAN DAY EVALUATES OHIO STATE'S SPECIAL TEAMS!

Ryan Day discussed Ohio State's kickoff-return execution, overall effort and the importance of avoiding unnecessary penalties.

The Buckeyes showed improvement in their approach and focus, but Day acknowledged that the team still has work ahead.

🔥 OHIO STATE VS. INDIANA — MASSIVE BIG TEN SHOWDOWN!

The Buckeyes travel to Bloomington for one of the most anticipated games of the 2026 college football season.

No. 4 Ohio State faces No. 5 Indiana in a matchup featuring the two most recent College Football Playoff national champions.

Indiana is coming off a narrow 20-17 victory over Nebraska.

🚨 OHIO STATE BASKETBALL HAS SOME PROBLEMS TO FIX! SHOULD BUCKEYES FANS BE WORRIED?

The Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team faced Cincinnati in an exhibition matchup, and while the result doesn't count in the regular-season standings, there were some concerning developments.

Poor shooting, turnovers, rebounding struggles and missed free throws all stood out.

But is there really reason to panic?

🎙️ Jeff Thitoff breaks down the Buckeyes' exhibition performance on this edition of the Buckeyes Daily Blitz, exclusively on Fan Stream Sports!

🔥 TODAY'S BIGGEST OHIO STATE BASKETBALL TOPICS:

🏀 OHIO STATE STRUGGLES AGAINST CINCINNATI!

The Buckeyes have several areas that need improvement following their exhibition matchup with the Bearcats.

Jeff examines what went wrong, what needs to improve and whether fans should be concerned heading toward the regular season.

🏀 JOHN MOBLEY JR. LEADS THE BUCKEYES!

John Mobley Jr. scored 15 points and was Ohio State's only player in double figures.

Amari Bynum and LJ Smith each added nine points.

Can Mobley become the offensive leader the Buckeyes need this season?

🏀 TURNOVERS AND REBOUNDING ARE CONCERNS!

Ohio State struggled on the glass and gave away too many possessions.

Jeff discusses why those problems could become much more significant once the Buckeyes begin playing games that count.

🏀 POOR SHOOTING AND MISSED FREE THROWS!

The Buckeyes had opportunities to capitalize on Cincinnati's fouls but couldn't consistently convert at the free-throw line.

Is this simply early-season rust, or are there underlying offensive problems?

🏀 BUTLER EXHIBITION PREVIEW!

Ohio State returns to the court October 25 against Butler.

That matchup will provide another opportunity for the Buckeyes to address their mistakes before regular-season competition begins.

Ohio State went into Iowa City and handled business.

On this edition of the Buckeyes Daily Blitz, Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down Ohio State’s 31-14 win over Iowa, another huge game from Jeremiah Smith, the continued rise of Julian Sayin, and a Buckeyes defense that shut down Iowa’s running game.

Smith was the headline again, finishing with 11 catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns while continuing to rewrite the Ohio State record book.

🏈 Why the schedule sets up well before the huge Indiana matchup

Jeremiah Smith just reminded everyone why he may be the most dangerous receiver in college football.

On this episode of the Buckeyes Daily Blitz on Fan Stream Sports, Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down Ohio State’s 42-19 win over Illinois, a game the Buckeyes controlled from start to finish.

The biggest story was Smith.

🔥 Jeremiah Smith dominated with 12 catches for 217 yards and four touchdowns, tying the Ohio State single-game record for receiving touchdowns while delivering one of the biggest performances of his Buckeyes career.

🎯 Julian Sayin was sharp again, completing 27 of 36 passes for 357 yards and four touchdowns. Ryan Day also praised Sayin’s improved mobility after the quarterback added a seven-yard rushing touchdown, calling that element of his game an “X-factor.”

🏈 Ohio State handled Illinois, but the running game remains a concern. The Buckeyes got the win comfortably, yet the ground attack still hasn’t found the consistency expected from this offense.

🌽 Now comes Iowa.

College GameDay heads to Iowa City as Ohio State prepares for a 3:30 p.m. road matchup against No. 14 Iowa, which is coming off a dramatic 20-19 win over Michigan.

Iowa remains exactly what it’s been for decades — physical, disciplined, committed to the run and extremely difficult to beat at home.

📈 The Buckeyes also climbed to No. 5 in the AP Top 25, keeping them firmly in the College Football Playoff race as the Big Ten picture starts to separate.

Tito breaks down:

- Jeremiah Smith’s monster afternoon

- Julian Sayin’s continued growth

- Ryan Day calling Smith a “cheat code”

- Ohio State’s lingering rushing concerns

- Why Iowa is dangerous

- The changing Big Ten playoff picture

- Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon and Iowa jockeying for position

Ohio State basketball continues to build momentum — but Jeff “Tito” Thitoff says simply making the NCAA Tournament shouldn’t be enough anymore.

On this episode of The Buckeye Blitz, Tito looks at another important recruiting addition for Jake Diebler and Ohio State, why the Buckeyes beating out programs such as Duke and Florida State matters, and what the continued recruiting momentum says about the direction of the program.

But recruiting wins only matter so much once the season begins.

Ohio State faces another difficult Big Ten basketball schedule, and Tito lays out the standard he wants to see from the Buckeyes this season: get back to the NCAA Tournament and make it to the second weekend.

Can Diebler turn the talent on the roster into a legitimate March run?

Ohio State football opened the 2026 season with a 56-3 demolition of Ball State, and now the Buckeyes immediately turn their attention to a massive Week 2 showdown with Texas.

On this episode of the Buckeye Blitz, Jeff 'Tito' Thitoff breaks down Julian Sayin’s 320-yard, three-touchdown performance, another huge day from Jeremiah Smith, the emergence of freshman Legend Bey, and an Ohio State defense that looked deep, fast and suffocating.

We also get into the biggest concerns from the opener, including the first-half running game, the offensive line, Bay’s kickoff-return mistakes, and the still-unsettled backup quarterback battle between Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair.

Plus, Jim Tressel’s emotional Ring of Honor moment at Ohio Stadium and why his legacy with Buckeye fans may be stronger than ever.

The Ball State game is over. Now it’s Texas week.

Ohio State opens the 2026 season against Ball State with Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin, Legend Bey and Chris Henry Jr. all in the spotlight — and Texas waiting immediately in Week 2.

Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down what he wants to see from the Buckeyes in the opener, including the offensive tempo under Arthur Miller, the backup quarterback battle between Tavien St. Clair and Luke Fahey, and how Ryan Day plans to use freshman playmakers like Legend Bey and Chris Henry Jr.

There’s also plenty to watch on defense, where Ohio State is replacing a major chunk of last year’s production and breaking in new faces across the unit. With the Buckeyes favored by more than 50 points, the real question isn’t whether they win — it’s how sharp they look before the schedule gets serious.

Tito also gets into Jim Tressel’s Ring of Honor recognition, Maurice Clarett’s pregame role, the early Heisman campaigns for Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin, and the wider college football chaos surrounding LSU, the SEC and eligibility questions involving former NFL players.

Plus: Rutgers’ stunning loss to UMass, Colorado’s win over Georgia Tech, Toledo-Michigan State and other Week 1 storylines.

Jeremiah Smith believes Ohio State freshman Legend Bey could become a Heisman Trophy finalist—and possibly win the award before his Buckeyes career ends. Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down that blockbuster prediction, Bey’s dynamic role and how Arthur Smith can distribute the ball across Ohio State’s loaded offense.

Plus, Tito examines the battle between Tavien St. Clair and Luke Fahey to back up Julian Sayin, why the official depth chart may not reveal Ryan Day’s actual quarterback plan and what to expect against Ball State.

The Buckeyes also named seven captains for 2026, including Smith, Sayin, Brandon Inniss and Austin Siereveld. Tito discusses Inniss receiving the Block O jersey, the experienced offensive line and the Big Ten and SEC pushing back against former professional athletes returning to college.

It’s a packed Buckeyes Blitz covering Ohio State football’s biggest stories as the season opener approaches.
