    Ohio State Offense Is Changing — Arthur Smith’s New Wrinkles Revealed

    Ohio State’s offense is changing under new coordinator Arthur Smith, and we’re finally getting some clues about what the Buckeyes could look like in 2026. Running back Isiah West and veteran tight end Bennett Christian reveal hints about the offensive tweaks taking shape during preseason camp. On this Wednesday edition of The Tim May Show, Tim breaks down what West and Christian had to say about Smith’s system, how Ohio State could use its backs and tight ends differently, and what it all means for the nation’s No. 1-ranked team. West also opens up about his relationship with fellow running back Bo Jackson — and says anyone who thinks they already know what the 1,000-yard freshman star can do might be in for a surprise. How much has Jackson improved? How different will Arthur Smith’s Ohio State offense really look? And what should Buckeyes fans expect when the season begins?

    Ohio State Is No. 1 Again — But 2015 Is the Warning

    Ohio State is officially preseason No. 1 in both the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll, putting Ryan Day’s Buckeyes in a position they haven’t occupied in the AP preseason rankings since the defending national champions entered 2015 at No. 1. Tim May and Sporting News college football writer Bill Bender break down what the ranking really means — and why that loaded 2015 Ohio State team provides a fascinating warning. Plus, Bender joins Tim to debate The Sporting News’ all-time Top 20 college football teams, including where some of the sport’s greatest championship teams belong. Then there’s suddenly intrigue behind starting quarterback Julian Sayin. Ryan Day says freshman Luke Fahey is pushing Tavien St. Clair in the competition to become Ohio State’s No. 2 quarterback. Is this a legitimate battle, and what does it say about Fahey’s development? It’s a loaded edition of The Tim May Show covering Ohio State’s No. 1 ranking, Ryan Day, Julian Sayin, Luke Fahey, Tavien St. Clair and the biggest storylines surrounding the Buckeyes.

    Ryan Day on Jeremiah Smith's Leadership + Luke Fedlam on Senate Bill | Tim May Show

    With Ohio State about to open preseason camp with a team once again considered capable of winning a national championship, 8th-year head coach Ryan Day talks about the value of having arguably the best player in the country, 3rd-year receiver Jeremiah Smith, stepping forward and speaking up as a leader. Day also talks about the tough schedule the Buckeyes face, including trips to Texas, Indiana, Southern California and Iowa while hosting Oregon and Michigan, and how it could hone the team for a College Football Playoff run. Jeremiah Smith agrees, saying that wasn't the case last year. Plus, attorney Luke Fedlam, an expert in the realm of NIL and transfer portal things, speaks on the pluses and minuses of the proposed bill in the Senate which would put some guardrails on college athletics. Bottom line, there's a good chance college athletics are going to have Feds looking over their shoulders if the bill goes through. Straighten up! Fly right!
