OHIO STATE - Kent State Post Game LIVE
Ohio State 59-3 Kent State — Post Game LIVE OhioStateVOCFB | Garrison Gaddy & Denzel Jones Intro Welcome to Ohio State Post Game Live. Garrison under the weather / off-camera. Plug for likes, subs, vocfb.com. Setup: “storied rivalry” with Kent State. Final: 59-3. Hot first quarter, slower second, adjustments and scoring in second half. Overall impressions (1:25–2:40) Denzel: First three offensive drives looked scripted and sharp — ball spread, mix of run/pass, not just Jeremiah Smith. Defense: still mad Wilder and Pettyjohn weren’t starting; those adjustments should already have been made. Otherwise “not much you can take from this game.” Garrison: Agrees. You want to see younger guys and incremental improvement, but this isn’t a measuring-stick win. Same logic applies to the negatives — don’t overreact to missed throws either. Julian Sayin / passing game (2:40–3:35, 8:40–10:10) Fans on social media ripping Sayin. Garrison: he missed four throws. Final line they cite: 241 yards, 11.0 YPA, 2 TD, 0 INT. Denzel: “not enough for me to cry and moan.” Played well. Critique: two consecutive red-zone plays inside the 10 (3rd-and-4 / 4th-and-4). OL opened a lane; Sayin missed an open receiver and didn’t take the run. Garrison tweeted that Ryan Day should have been in his ear. Sayin showed willingness to run vs Texas and Ball State — needs that awareness when the lane is there. Running backs (3:35–5:50) Bo Jackson: 11-73, 6.6 YPC, 1 TD. Jacoby Jackson: 8-47, 5.9 YPC, 2 TD. Both hosts liked the vision/weaving through traffic. Isaiah West: Walk-in TD look where everyone blocked; West ran to get tackled instead of finishing. Disappointing given offseason hype and first-team reps. Talent/power is there; “needs to put it together.” Kent State — lower the shoulder or make someone miss. Consensus: holes are often there; RBs have to hit them harder or create. Short-yardage issues more on backs than OL. Offensive line (5:50–8:20, 26:20–28:20) Looked fine. One sack — “boo-hoo.” Gabe Van Sickle (Coopersville, MI — Garrison hometown): solid. Looked better than last time out. Garrison has heard the “can he start?” talk from high-school coaches. Younger guys getting in was encouraging. Short-yardage still a problem; Day harped on it. Denzel thinks it gets fixed and is more on RB reads/finishing than OL. Tyler Bowen: solid second year, recruiting well (Sam Greer film “crazy,” next class looks good). Development “solid, not great.” Neither host has OL as a top worry. Backs aren’t getting hit in the backfield; they’re missing holes or failing to make someone miss. Jeremiah Smith record (10:30–12:20) Becomes Ohio State all-time receiving yards leader (needed 27 yards / 26 catches entering the game). Passed Michael Jenkins, Chris Olave, David Boston, Marvin Harrison Jr. territory, etc. Both thankful he stayed instead of Miami NIL buyout talk. Sad it’s his last year. Projection: he’ll hold every receiving record when he leaves. What-ifs: MHJ if he’d started as a freshman; JSN if healthy (hurt Notre Dame game, limited 2020). Other receivers (12:20–17:00) Chris Henry Jr.: Hitch, jukes two guys, gazelle speed. Day said they’re building confidence. Denzel annoyed he didn’t play more vs Texas — size/speed/red-zone mismatch with Smith. Wants him and JJ opposite sides in the red zone. 6-5/6-6 vs Smith’s 6-4 helps short-yardage/red-zone issues. Brock Boyd: 4 rec, 66 yards (longest 39). Route running, inside/outside, speed. Coming along. Brandon Inniss: 4-78-1 TD (49-yard). Energy up when involved. “He be open. He be catching.” More middle-of-field throws from Sayin = more Inniss. On pace for a solid year. Game flow better than Texas because everyone got touches early → better blocking and juice. Spread it, then isolate Smith. Defense (17:00–26:00) Not much to take vs Kent State, but: Secondary: Looks good. Jermaine “JT” Timmons (true freshman) — both ask if anyone on defense is playing better right now. Can play anywhere in the back end. Pedigree (dad). Earl Little close second. Sanchez graded differently until he faces Indiana/Oregon/USC again. Tackling improved vs Texas. Riley Pettyjohn: “The kid’s different.” Coverage PFF they cite as

Jeremiah Smith Set To Make HISTORY! / Ohio State Call-in Show LIVE 81 Presented By FanDuel
Here’s a set of structured, timestamped episode notes you can drop into an OhioStateVOCFB / Hawkeyes-Wire-style recap. Episode Notes: Jeremiah Smith Set To Make HISTORY! Ohio State Call-in Show LIVE 81 | Presented by FanDuel Host: Garrison Gaddy | Guest: Denzel Jones OhioStateVOCFB Show open (0:00–1:24) Garrison Gaddy opens Friday 7 p.m. ET Ohio State call-in show. Call-in link in chat; open to Buckeye fans and opposing fans. Mentions tonight’s Miami–Wake Forest game. Standard like/share/subscribe + shoutouts to Riley Denzel, Mark Rogers, Fearless Leroy / The Boys of College Football. Kent State watch points — defense (1:25–8:04) Garrison frames Kent State as a non-measuring-stick game after Ohio State blew a 20-point fourth-quarter lead vs. Texas. Things to look for: Defensive line — wire to wire Wants full-game effort after the front got gassed in the fourth vs. Texas. Names: Edgar Houston, James Smith, John Walker III (already plays that way), down to Jason Moore (played well in limited Texas snaps). Linebackers Four playable LBs. Peyton Pierce took the brunt of fan criticism after Texas; captains Pierce and Julian Sayin spoke after Ryan Day — right two to talk. Pierce must play better; Kent State is not the measuring stick. Wants young LBs to start / get first-team reps: Riley Pettyjohn, T.J. Alford (called “freaky athletes”). Christian Lago better as edge rusher than in coverage. Pettyjohn sack of Arch Manning praised: left his zone, full-go decision, aggressive. That’s the identity this less-talented (vs. 2025) defense needs. Matt Patricia / scheme Be more aggressive: press, stunts, use athletic bodies — not just bull rush. Secondary fly-around guys: Earl Little, J. McClain (one of the better tackling DBs in the country), Devin Sanchez, true freshman nickel Jay Timmons (near-elite tackler). Kent State watch points — offense (8:05–21:00) Wide receivers Want more rotation / rhythm for depth after Texas “stints.” Freshmen Brock Boyd and Chris Henry Jr. earned more work as blockers in Week 1 vs. Ball State; Boyd also showed route ability vs. Texas. Devin McEwen: get him open and hit him. Julian Sayin’s missed RPO to McEwen vs. Texas called the worst throw Gaddy has ever seen from him (worse than prior INTs / pick-six). Kyle Parker out. Offensive line Phillip Daniels status TBD (Ryan Day typically holds injury news). Austin Sereveld: very good at guard and LT; not RT (failed two years ago and again vs. Colin Simmons). Best five as of now: Carson Hinzman, Sereveld, Luke Montgomery, Ian Moore, + Daniels if healthy. Want Gaben Sickle (RG) and others with the 1s. Staff has preached secondary positions — use them. Chat mentions Sam Greer (freshman, huge) and Carter Lowe; Gaddy open if they’re practicing at that level. Julian Sayin “Just hit the open shots.” Running back RB2 still unsettled. Offseason “Isaiah West taking Bo’s reps” talk was out of context (West, Jacoby Jackson, Legend Bay all needed 1st-team looks). Bo Jackson: best game of short career vs. Texas — not huge numbers (~3 YPC, 17 carries) but ran hard, made people miss, hit the edge, caught the ball, ~100 total yards. In big games (Indiana, Michigan, Oregon, USC, Iowa, Illinois) Bo should get 20 rush attempts minimum. Legend Bay: most electric in the room — shiftiest, fastest, 10.2 100m, moves like Braxton Miller. True freshman; staff building trust after Week 1 kick-return decisions. Deserves a split of RB2 work. Suggested RB2 split: thirds — Isaiah West / Legend Bay / Jacoby Jackson. Jacoby Jackson: 48-yard TD vs. Ball State; strong runner, keep giving him work. Chat (Aaron): West “all talk,” 3-star. Gaddy: stars matter less at RB; Chris Olave was a 3-star, Marvin Harrison Jr. wasn’t a top-20 WR. Perspective on the Texas collapse (21:01–24:00) Reminds fans: blowing a 20-point Q4 lead is a 1-in-10 (or rarer) event. Conversation in a Michigan fan Space with “Metal”: how many times out of 10 does OSU drop that lead? Answer: that one time. Colin Cowherd / Joe Clancy point: a lot had to go right for Texas. “Everybody ain’t Texas.” Only a handful of rosters (Georgia, Notre Dame, maybe Oregon) can do what Texas did — or wha

WILL TEXAS HANG OVER KILL 2026? / Ohio State Buckeyes LIVE 387
Ohio State Buckeyes LIVE 387 — “Will Texas Hang Over Kill 2026?” Voice of CFB / OhioStateVOCFB Host: Mark Rogers Guests: Steve Helwagen (Bucknuts 247), Tony Gerdeman (Buckeye Weekly / Buckeye Insiders), Steve Helwick (Underdog Dynasty / By the Belt) Opening: The 24-23 Texas loss and the two extremes 00:00–01:43 Ohio State is not a program that treats a road loss as a moral victory. A 24-23 result in Austin would have looked respectable in the offseason. The way it happened is the problem. Mark frames the spectrum: some say the sky isn’t falling after a one-point road loss to the new No. 1 team; others treat it as inexcusable. He wants a balanced take. 01:43–05:16 — Steve Helwagen’s preamble Week 1 vs. Ball State (56-3) looked like a team ready for Texas. First half vs. Texas: dominant, 20-3 lead. Felt like a statement win that would help CFP seeding. Second half: heat (92° air, ~110° on the field) + Ohio State offense going three-and-out starting mid-third quarter. Defense on the field too often. Texas three long scoring drives (91, 73, 71 yards, all double-digit plays) and three fourth-quarter TDs. Records: first time Ohio State lost after leading by 17+ at half; first time a No. 1 team lost after leading by 20 in the second half. Biggest blown lead in program history remains 21 vs. Nebraska in 2011 (lost season). This one hurts because 2026 was supposed to be a title-contender year. Glass half full: one-point road loss to a playoff-caliber team. Glass half empty: “You cannot ever lose that game.” Kent State preview (with Steve Helwick) 05:16–16:12 They pivot briefly because Helwick is the Group of 5 guy. Kent State snapshot Brutal non-conference “ride to hell” schedule every year. Last year: 172-24 combined losses at Oklahoma, FSU, Texas Tech. Still finished 5-7 after an 0-12 season. 2026: 57-0 at South Carolina, then trailed FCS Wofford 15-14 after three before 22 unanswered in the fourth. Sloppy (muffed punt, missed FG, turnovers on downs) but clearly better than Wofford. Offense is boom-or-bust, historically big-play dependent (Cade Wolford last year, now at Cincinnati). Conservative vs. South Carolina; some explosiveness late vs. Wofford. QB Drew DeShields (Beloit West Branch, Ohio): dual-threat. vs. Wofford: 16-of-25, 248 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT; 10 carries, 74 yards, 2 TDs. Already 2 INTs this year. Names to watch: Darylis Clark — MAC Special Teams POY last year (2 kick-return TDs), now WR, second-leading receiver. Rocco Nickel — 6-5 LB, boomerang transfer (Kent State → USF → back). Sound tackler, roaming. Historical OSU-Kent State: average score 55-7 in three meetings. Vegas: OSU -52.5, O/U 59.5. Helwick wouldn’t be shocked if Kent State is shut out. MAC overall: Helwick thinks it’s a down year. Western Michigan is the clear favorite (retained MAC OPOY, no portal losses after 10-1 finish). Bottom half (Bowling Green, CMU, Akron, Ball State, Kent State) is rough. Ohio State is playing two of the weaker ones. Purpose of the game for Ohio State Get starters in a groove, get young players snaps (like Fahey and St. Clair vs. Ball State), stay healthy for Illinois (Big Ten opener the following week). Helwick was in Austin for the Texas game (after covering UTSA and Texas State). Brief comments: Ohio State left meat on the bone in the first half (bad 4th-and-2 run call), coverage breaks on deep balls (Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo drop). Pass rush and snap counts (Kari Wilder only 5 snaps, Pettijohn vs. Pierce) need fixing. Deep Texas autopsy with Tony Gerdeman 23:39 onward (Tony arrives after traffic) The goal-line decision 23:39–32:00 Mark: purist view is you stop them at the 1. Practical view: let them score with ~50 seconds left, give Julian Sayin the ball with timeouts. Tony agrees completely. Ryan Day was informed by past success stopping Texas near the goal line, but this defense had been on the field the entire fourth quarter in 110° heat. Discretion > valor. Pete (Pierce?) said they never even considered it. Tony’s point: without Caden McDonald (the “floppy belly” All-American DT), Ohio State almost never stops first-and-goal from the 1. Four cracks over center/A-gap was going to score. They should have pushed the receiver into the end zone on the previous play to get more time. Situational football failed: OSU 1-of-6 on third down in second half (5-of-8 first half), 2-of-5 red-zone TDs. Texas 4-of-4 scoring (3 TDs, 1 FG). Texas recovered 3 of 4 fumbles. Missed FG. Hook-and-ladder on the final drive. Any one of 10 plays flips it. Offense and Julian S

Needed Personnel Changes & Bounce Back Week / Ohio State Primetime LIVE 102 Presented By FanDuel
Ohio State Primetime LIVE 102 — Needed Personnel Changes & Bounce-Back Week Presented by FanDuel | Hosts: Garrison Gaddy, Riley Burnett, Denzel Jones OhioStateVOCFB Show Open & Format Notes (0:00–1:25) Garrison welcomes everyone to Ohio State Primetime Live. The show is officially moving to Mondays; Zay is now a permanent part of the rotation. Riley and Garrison are excited about the new setup. Standard plugs: like/share/subscribe, vocfb.com, vocfb.com/shop (koozies, sweatshirts, hats, tees). They preview the Kent State game after recapping Saturday’s loss to Texas. Texas Loss Recap — First Half vs. Second Half (1:25–4:00) Riley’s overarching take: Happy with the first half. The score near the end of the half was huge. Lucky on the opening play and the interception (great ball by Arch, “one-in-a-million”). Second half: offense came out flat and defense came out flat, especially in the third quarter. By the fourth, the defense was gassed after back-to-back three-and-outs. Texas’s physicality and tenacity took over. Offensive game plan was lacking. Biggest individual disappointment: Peyton Pierce — not flying to the ball, not playing alert football. Riley wants the talented younger linebackers used now instead of kept “in the back pocket.” “If it’s the right guy, let’s show our hand.” Denzel notes he already went off on Pierce on the Sunday show. Garrison jokes that Pierce somehow had the highest PFS score (75.9 overall, 71 run D, 67 tackling, 73.9 coverage) — they treat it as a “nothing stat” because doing nothing means you don’t get dinged. Fan Overreactions, Ryan Day Heat, and “Better Team” Debate (5:15–7:50) Garrison addresses the postgame noise: Fire Ryan Day talk, people doxing Day’s house (called “really weird”). He compares his reaction to the 2024 Oregon loss — sat three inches from the TV, hands on hips, “Alright. Cool. Got it.” His view: Ohio State was the better team for 2½ quarters until the fourth. On a neutral field he thinks they beat Texas. “Good teams win, great teams cover” — and they did cover. Riley: Sad after the game but not devastated. Prefers an early loss so coaches actually go back to the film room and make personnel changes (unlike last year’s undefeated season where deficiencies were papered over). He’s been calling for Pierce not to start since before the season. Snap counts shown: Pierce 37, Tarvis 26. They want those snaps split more evenly among the three linebackers. Allegro wasn’t awful but wasn’t great; still better than Pierce. Clip discussion: Riley’s sack while Pierce was hanging out 5–7 yards behind him. Contrast in urgency and violence. “If you’re the middle linebacker you got to be the guy that’s crazy in the middle. You can’t just be hanging out like you’re a fan.” Garrison: A Mike linebacker has to be a field general. Pierce’s energy (or lack of it) reflects on the rest of the defense, especially late. Young Players Who Need Snaps (8:20–14:50) Poll in chat: Do you want coaches playing more young guys on both sides? Names floated: Brock Boyd (needs to rebuild trust after drops last week) Legend Bay — “coaching malpractice” to give him one touch in a game like that. Doesn’t matter that he’s a freshman. Christian Allegro — Garrison has said he belongs on the edge, not at Mike. Fast in a straight line, can rush. Coaches have given him snaps at the S position too. Riley: The two best linebackers on the team are obvious. Play them. Denzel’s wish list: Swap the linebackers Legend Bay at least 5 touches Chris Henry at least one pass a game Chris Henry and Boyd 1–2 targets Solidify RB2 (Jacoby Jackson is a strong runner) Isaiah West hype from the beat writers was not real — “anyone who thought he was challenging Bo needs to repent” Open to Legend Bay as RB2; blocking can be figured out later. He’s an extra weapon who can take it to the house. Garrison wants more crossing routes and slants to get the ball out of Julian’s hands quickly and build confidence. Receivers who can do something after the catch: Jeremiah, Devin McEwen, Brandon Ennis (sure hands, clutch catch in the game). They stress “workability” — elite teams need it on both sides. Position coaches (not just Arthur Smith and Matt Patricia) need to be pushing young talent. Freshman Social Media — “Free Deuce” (14:57–19:20) Riley flagged Instagram stories that have since been scrubbed. Legend Bay posted a sideline photo with “Free Deuce.” Hosts interpret it as a not-so-subtle request for more touches. They compare it to Ezekiel Elliott speaking up after the 2015 Michigan State los

OHIO STATE - Texas Post Game/Call-in LIVE
Ohio State–Texas Postgame / Call-In Live OhioStateVOCFB — Garrison Gaddy & Denzel Jones Late-night recap after Ohio State’s 23–24 loss at DKR Stadium Show setup Garrison and Denzel open immediately after the overnight loss. They frame it as a full-board conversation: coaching, personnel, drops, missed throws, and fourth-quarter collapse after Ohio State led 23–3. Credit Texas throughout; they refuse the “we took our foot off the gas and Texas just laid down” narrative. First-half snapshot (hosts’ view) Offense in sync early. Julian Sayin (transcript: “Julian San”) had the game’s high for QBs. Jeremiah Smith: 8-164-1 TD, 20.5 YPC, long 43. Bo Jackson: 19 carries, 74 yards (3.9 YPC), long 11. Jacoby Jackson 5 carries; Isaiah West 2; Legend Bay 1 snap/1 carry. Pass protection fine first half; run blocking not. Hosts wanted more points instead of field goals while the lead was still expandable. Defense had Arch Manning “in a spin cycle.” Jaylen McClain INT after a coverage breakdown on Cam Coleman. Jay Timmons forced and recovered a fumble. Riley Pettyjohn and Timmons were the two best defensive players on the field. Texas missed big plays (Ryan Wingo drop; Coleman near-miss). Ohio State still only led 23–3 at half because they settled for kicks. Personnel & snap-count frustration (core of the show) Linebacker rotation: Denzel was “right about the linebackers.” Peyton Pierce looked slow, hesitant, spectator-like; 67 snaps. Riley Pettyjohn 37 snaps, Christian Allegro 51, Tarvis ~26. Hosts and caller Michael all want Pettyjohn (and Alford) on the field constantly. Pierce’s one forced fumble that wasn’t recovered doesn’t offset the rest. Defensive line last drive: Epi / Kenyatta / Will Smith / James packages, then Bo Atkinson in for the game-winning drive. Hosts: if Texas is already gashing the line, why insert Atkinson? Prefer Epi, Carey Wilder, or Quay. John Walker III “should never come off the field” unless he needs water. Kerry Wilder only 5 snaps despite looking explosive when in. Running back usage: Bo Jackson is the second-best offensive weapon. Hosts hate the every-other-series committee; it keeps backs from finding a rhythm. Want 25–27 carries for Bo in this type of game, not 19. Legend Bay and Isaiah West barely used. Receiver distribution: Too much force-feeding Jeremiah Smith. Devin McEwen drops (including a needed conversion) after being ignored. Brandon Inniss “seems to catch it every time they look his way”; hosts would have preferred him on the third-and-long McEwen drop. Fourth-quarter collapse Offense looked conservative / clock-killing: three-and-outs, three-run sequences, punts. Arthur Smith’s first-half calls were fine; fourth-quarter play-calling “terrible.” Julian off — balls behind Jeremiah, missed McEwen. Devin Sanchez: generally solid game, but the Wingo TD “looked too easy” (outside leverage, simple out/curl). Phantom PI on Sanchez “sticks in the craw” and helped spark the comeback. Defense gassed on two late drives. Hosts wanted a timeout after the first fourth-down conversion (4th-and-9) to give the D-line a breath; Patricia didn’t change personnel or scheme. John Walker laid out a lineman but was too tired to finish to the QB. Goal-line at the end: Garrison initially wanted to let Texas score for clock. After talking to his sister he understood Day trusting the goal-line identity of recent years. Both still note this D-line is not K-Mac / Ty Hamilton / Tyleik Williams; expectations have to be tapered. Specific plays & player notes Jeremiah Smith: great overall game, still the best player on the team / in CFB in their view. Must-catch drops: ball behind him coming across the middle (Julian’s fault and a catch he should make); third-and-4 body catch. One-on-one end-zone ball needed to be outside shoulder / pylon — Julian put it inside. Connor Hawkins: 3-for-4, including a 45/48-yarder that created the six-point lead they later lost. Hosts defend him on volume but still say the miss in a one-score game has to be made. Field goal did not lose the game; Ohio State was still up 6 when it happened. Defense then gave up 4th-and-9 and 4th-and-6. Earl Little: “smacking the hell out of people,” overlooked positive. Kenyatta Jackson: good at setting the edge vs. Goosby (sack), not aggressive enough finishing. Caller Michael questions size/strength vs. top tackles. Austin Siereveld sack given up called out. Coaching blame (spread, not single-target) Ryan Day (final calls, goal-line, timeouts), Arthur Smith (conservative fourth quarter, st

Horns DOWN & Clock Shenanigans! / Ohio State Primetime LIVE 101 Presented by FanDuel
Ohio State Primetime LIVE 101 — Horns Down & Clock Shenanigans Presented by FanDuel | Hosts: Garrison Gaddy, Riley Burnett, Denzel Jones OhioStateVOCFB Intro & setup 00:00–01:20 Garrison and Riley open the show, plug vocfb.com and the shop, and set the table: Ohio State at Texas this week after talking with the Texas VOCFB guys. Quick pivot to Big Ten chaos before the preview. Western Michigan–Michigan clock controversy 01:20–08:50 Garrison (West Michigan native, proud Bronco fan) and the group recap the ending: WMU thought they had the win, celebrated, then Michigan got an extra second and Bryce Underwood hit a 47-yard TD. Riley was FaceTiming a friend and thought the game was over before looking back up. Denzel calls it disappointing and “disgusting” for the WMU players and coach who already believed they had the biggest upset. Mental checkout after the whistle makes it nearly impossible to reset. They discuss Big Ten audio (broadcast time vs. game clock), Coach Lance Taylor’s composure, and the MAC initially agreeing then walking it back. Garrison argues the MAC should fight harder—WMU is their best Playoff hope with Boise State coming. Contrasts it with a live play that isn’t over vs. a game that already felt finished. Ryan Day presser, Jeremiah Smith, Devin McEwen 08:50–16:10 Day on getting Jeremiah Smith (#4) the ball: there has to be balance, but they have to work so he impacts the game. Riley is on the fence—Devin McEwen could be this year’s Carnell Tate in Week 2, but raw talent wins in certain spots and they have to get Smith the ball, especially if Texas shows man. Stretch the field; don’t just settle for jet sweeps and screens like the last CFP meeting. Garrison is less worried: they’ve beaten Texas twice without forcing Smith volume; if they occupy two defenders on him, run McEwen underneath or use Julian Sayin’s legs. Riley wants Smith at 90+ yards as a low bar and will take shots even in tight windows (or take the PI). If the backs go crazy instead, that’s fine if the line wins. Day also sounded loose and confident (unlike some past big-game pressers). Flexibility on the O-line; they can make in-game changes. Legend Bay 16:10–18:30 Shoutout to Jalen Turner’s comment that Legend Bay unlocks Smith’s swing/screen game. Day addressed Bay’s ups and downs vs. Ball State (two kickoff returns he should have knelt). Group loves the juice and lateral quickness—“best thing since Braxton Miller.” Creating middle-of-the-field separation and east-west playmaking will be huge Saturday. Braxton Miller co-sign (give him No. 5) lands well. Game framing & storylines 19:10–23:10 Garrison does not have Ohio State No. 1 personally (Notre Dame/Miami ahead in his fluid top 15). Sixth meeting this century. They like the big-boy scheduling (Georgia later). Excited for the narrative if an SEC team that went undefeated in Week 1 loses at home in Week 2 to a Big Ten team. Sarkisian excuse-making is already anticipated. Defense vs. Texas 23:10–32:00 Comfortable with the four linebackers. TJ Alford and Riley Pettijohn stood out; Peyton Pierce had missed tackles (everyone did in the first half). Bo Atkinson disappointing; Caden Curry/Kyrie Wilder movement was encouraging. Kenyatta Jackson favored his right leg for a stretch in the second quarter—watch that for edge pressure and finishing vs. Arch Manning. Jackson led the country in Week 1 pressures (8) but has to finish sacks. Tackling is the biggest Week 1 leftover. Can’t miss vs. Ryan Wingo, Hollywood Smothers, Relique Brown, Cam Coleman, Arch. Secondary: trust corners and safeties, but Ball State isn’t the bar. Jermaine Mathews locked Wingo last year; Jaylen Simmons was lights-out as a true freshman but this is the real test. Like the 4-3 packages they showed (Pierce at Mike, Alford/Pettijohn outside). Show it early to keep Arch from getting into rhythm. Garrison’s FanDuel locks 32:00–34:20 Arch Manning under 1.5 passing TDs Devin McEwen 50+ receiving yards (lock of the game) Texas first-quarter lead -1.5 Also likes Texas getting a scripted fast start at home. Offense vs. Texas defense / O-line 34:20–41:30 Riley wants middle-of-field usage and Legend Bay after-catch work to gas Texas, then tempo. Denzel wants 3.5–4 yards per carry and O-line improvement after a rough first half vs. Ball State (adjustments helped). Day comparing McEwen to Chris Olave is exciting. Bo Jackson’s change-of-direction over pure speed. Want more Isaiah West. Philip Daniels cannot stay at RT vs. Colin Simmons. Prefer matching All-American vs. All-American (Daniels on Simmons) and living with Van Sickle/Padilla on the othe

TEXAS WEEK / Ohio State Buckeyes LIVE 386
Ohio State Buckeyes LIVE 386 — Texas Week Voice of College Football | Mark Rogers with Steve Helwagen (Bucknuts 247) and Chip Brown (Horns 247) Tuesday preview of No. 1 Ohio State at Texas, Saturday night in Austin. Show open (0:00–1:25) Football is finally back — and this weekend is a massive step up. Texas vs. Ohio State in Austin is framed as the biggest non-conference game of the year and potentially one of the biggest ever for both programs. Chip Brown joins from Horns247; Steve Helwagen from Bucknuts. Arch Manning’s growth (1:25–3:50) Chip: Last year’s Columbus game was Arch “working through his own head.” First pass bounced three feet in front of the receiver; the game speed felt like a tilt-a-whirl. He took more lumps at Florida, then improved down the stretch. Against Texas State he picked up where he left off — more comfortable, vocal leader, trash-talker (per Colin Simmons). Texas went all-in via the portal (Cam Coleman, Hollywood Smothers, Relique Brown, O-linemen) because this could be the last year for Arch, Coleman, and Simmons. This is his stage. Mirror-image programs and portal churn (3:50–6:20) Steve: Both rosters are heavily rebuilt. Texas has ~9 new starters via the portal; Ohio State has 5–6. Successful programs now treat the portal as annual roster construction, not a last resort. Ohio State examples: Earl Little, Christian Aliegro, Devin McCune (UTSA transfer now starting). Texas hit “home run after home run.” Chip notes four Texas players on the AP preseason All-American first team: Cam Coleman, Trevor Goosby, Rasheem Biles, Colin Simmons. Steve’s take: This may be the most talented of the three Texas teams Ohio State has faced. Heat and depth (6:20–9:00) Kickoff ~6:30 p.m., expected 97 degrees. Texas State game (2:30 p.m. Friday) was brutal — Sark said 160 degrees on the field with rubber pellets. Fans “dropping like flies.” Cooling vests abandoned as too bulky. Texas played 50+ in the first half, 60+ for the game. Ohio State also emptied the bench once up 28-3 then 42-3 (Jeremiah Smith done at half; Julian Sayin two series in the third). Travel roster size for a non-Big Ten game is an open question (Big Ten games typically ~70-75). Clock controversy tangent (9:00–12:00) Brief discussion of last week’s Western Michigan/Michigan clock/optics issue. Steve timed the play at 8.4 seconds with 9 on the clock at snap; believes the call was technically correct but optics were terrible. No full explanation from Big Ten or NBC yet. What changed for Texas in camp / Week 1 (12:00–16:00) Chip’s biggest takeaways: Arch is more comfortable and owns the team. Interior run game still a concern (12 carries of 0-2 yards vs. Texas State; Relique Brown 11-for-34 despite two long TDs). Pass protection looks solid; receiver room upgraded. Cam Coleman’s arrival makes Ryan Wingo one of the best No. 2s in the country. Wingo caught his first 7 targets (short and deep, including a 45-yarder) after dropping 7 balls last year. Offense averaged ~35 ppg Sark’s first four years, dropped to 30.5 last year. Without two late 200-yard rushing games they were on pace for worst rushing season since 1944. Sark is 0-2 vs. Ohio State, 0-3 vs. Georgia. This is his best roster and a defining game on his Texas timeline. Defense and Will Muschamp (16:00–19:00) Pete Kwiatkowski out after three years of ~18 ppg allowed. Muschamp was Sark’s original target years ago. Aggressive, pressure-oriented (not necessarily heavy blitz), man coverage even under zone. Texas State game showed almost no pressure — they were holding cards. Raheem Biles (Pitt transfer) is “slippery,” punched out a fumble that Grayson Littleton returned 59 yards for a TD. Chip still rips the 2024 prevent-screen TD to TreVeyon Henderson as one of the dumbest plays he’s seen given the personnel. Texas secondary (19:00–23:30) FS Jelani McDonald: “quarterback of the secondary,” 6-2, 200, physical, instinctive, high-school teammate of Kobe Black. SS Kobe Black: former corner, played through injuries last year (got torched vs. Florida), now healthy and on a mission. CB Beau Masco (Rutgers): tough, undersized; Texas State attacked him with some success. CB Cade Phillips: 6-1 sophomore with elite length and speed; PI early, nearly INT in the end zone later. Nickel Grayson Littleton: held his own vs. Jeremiah Smith as a freshman in 2024; scoop-and-score last week. Muschamp wasn’t sure about his size until camp production. Expect zone pressure (four rushers from unexpected spots) more than all-out blitzes. Goal is to keep Julian Sayin from getting the ball to the second level. Colin Simmons (23:30–25:00) Led SEC with 12 sacks last year but ha
