    Ohio State O/U 9.5 Wins, Arthur Smith’s Offense & Most Intriguing Unit on the 2026 Roster

    On this episode of Buckeye Cadence, the conversation turns to the 2026 season outlook, starting with Ohio State’s win total at 9.5. Over or under? Blake Biscardi and Grant Kincaid work through the schedule, the notable road tests at Texas, Iowa, Indiana, and USC, the home matchups against Oregon and Michigan, and make their case. Unit Debate: Blake’s most intrigued by the defensive line as the talent is there, but can it perform at the level this program expects? Grant’s eyes are on the wide receiver room, where depth and development will show how far Arthur Smith’s offense can go in year 1. Arthur Smith has been talking about Jeremiah Smith, saying he carries himself like a veteran, not a college kid, and that maturity will matter as much as his talent in 2026. While at quarterback, Arthur Smith wants to give Julian Sayin more responsibility at the line of scrimmage. Blake and Grant weigh in if that the right move at this stage of Sayin’s development.

    Can Ohio State Cause March Madness, Legend Bey’s Ceiling, & What Year 2 Means for Julian Sayin

    Ohio State basketball is dancing, and the Buckeyes have a path. Blake Biscardi and Grant Kincaid break down what OSU needs from John Mobley Jr. and whether he can be the difference-maker in the tournament. Then they get into the matchup tape: what makes TCU dangerous, where Ohio State wins the game, and, if the Bucks advance, how realistic is an upset over Duke? Plus, a moment of reflection on Thad Matta stepping away from the game. On the football side, spring practice is officially open. Who is the No. 2 wide receiver behind Jeremiah Smith, and does that question even matter given the depth in this room? Then: Year 2 for Julian Sayin. The stats are one thing, but is leadership the biggest variable in his development? And the storyline that might be stealing the whole spring conversation: Legend Bey. How real is the Curtis Samuel comparison, and what does it mean schematically for Arthur Smith’s offense if Bey becomes that weapon? All that and more on Buckeye Cadence.
