Weak Links w/ Ohio State Football?!? + Will Howard, Chip Kelly, & the Buckeye Offense Creating Buzz

Join me as I discuss the exciting Ohio State Buckeye football season that’s just around the corner with Cory from Scarlet 'N Great.

With the season opener rapidly approaching, we're diving into some hot topics. First up, the big news: Will Howard has been named the starting quarterback for the Buckeyes. Cory shares his thoughts on this decision, noting that while some fans were holding out hope for Devin Brown, Howard's experience and solid track record make him the logical choice. Howard, formerly of Kansas State, brings a dual-threat capability that could elevate the Ohio State Buckeyes' offense significantly. His ability to make plays with both his arm and legs should make a substantial difference this season.

We also touch on Dylan Gabriel, who transferred to Oregon and will be a notable opponent when Ohio State faces off against the Ducks in October. Gabriel, a proven playmaker, will be a tough challenge for the Buckeyes' defense, but Cory believes Ohio State’s defense will stand strong against him.

Switching gears to the coaching staff, the addition of Chip Kelly as the offensive coordinator is a major talking point. Cory compares this hire to the previous impactful addition of Kevin Wilson. Kelly, known for his offensive genius and head coaching experience, is expected to bring fresh innovation and discipline to the Buckeyes' offense. This move allows Ryan Day to focus more on his role as head coach and CEO, which will be crucial for Ohio State Football’s success.

We also discuss potential weaknesses, with special teams emerging as a concern. Despite changes in coaching staff and strategies, the kicking game remains uncertain. Special teams had been a weak point last season, and how the new setup will perform is still up in the air. However, with improvements expected in other areas, such as the offensive line, there is cautious optimism.

As we wrap up, Cory highlights the challenges of the upcoming season, emphasizing that winning a national championship will be tougher than ever with the expanded playoff format. While an undefeated season may be unlikely, the team’s potential remains high. Lisa echoes this sentiment, feeling optimistic about the Buckeyes’ chances but acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the game.

This is a channel for those who bleed scarlet and gray. My hope is this channel will help fans get hyped as we cheer on the scarlet and gray all the way to the natty this year!

If you are looking for a place online where you can get excited about the next Ohio State football game with fellow fans, this is the place for you. Join me each week and let’s get pumped for the upcoming game together!

My name is Lisa, and I am an Ohio-born and bred Buckeye fan. While my entire family is all die-hard Buckeyes, I didn’t pay much attention to football until my jr. high years, when the Buckeyes went all the way and won the National Championship.

That was all it took for me to catch the fever, and I crossed the line to the point of no return. Since then, I too bleed scarlet and gray, even after moving across the country to Los Angeles, California. From my home in sunny California, I continue to fangirl every Saturday the Buckeyes are playing (and let’s be honest, also any time they're not).
