    What’s Really Wrong With Ohio State Football? | Ryan Day Makes a Coaching Change, More Coming?

    Ohio State football has a lot to fix, and Ryan Day knows it. After the Buckeyes' 41-28 loss to Oregon, Day made his first in-season coaching change by moving on from special teams coordinator Robby Discher. But is that enough to address the problems affecting this team? On this episode of Buckeye Cadence, Blake Biscardi and Grant Kincaid break down the biggest takeaways from Ryan Day, defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith following Ohio State's latest loss. Topics: - Ryan Day's accountability: Why Robby Discher was dismissed, how Ohio State will restructure special teams, and whether more coaching changes could follow. - Matt Patricia's defense: Alignment problems, missed assignments, explosive plays, the lack of consistent pass rush and whether Ohio State needs to simplify its defensive approach. - Luke Fahey's future: Why Day is sticking with the freshman quarterback against Northwestern and what the Buckeyes need to do to help him succeed. - Arthur Smith's offense: Red-zone failures, offensive line mistakes, inconsistent execution and getting Jeremiah Smith more involved. - The bigger picture: Can Ohio State win its final three regular-season games and restore confidence in the program? The Buckeyes have three regular-season games remaining: Northwestern, Nebraska and Michigan. The margin for error is gone, and the coaching staff needs to turn its words into results. Is Ryan Day making the right changes to fix Ohio State, or are bigger decisions still coming? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

    Ohio State Embarrassed at Home by Oregon | Buckeyes' Season Falling Apart | Where To Go From Here?

    Ohio State football suffered one of its most embarrassing home losses in recent memory, falling to Oregon 41-28 at Ohio Stadium after surrendering a 14-0 first-quarter lead. The Buckeyes looked ready to respond after consecutive losses to Texas and USC, scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions. Bo Jackson found the end zone twice, Luke Fahey connected with Jeremiah Smith and Devin McCuin, and Ohio State appeared to have the momentum. Then everything fell apart. Oregon scored 38 unanswered points, taking advantage of a fake punt, costly Ohio State mistakes, an interception before halftime and a series of defensive breakdowns. The Ducks outscored the Buckeyes 17-0 in the second quarter and 14-0 in the third, turning a promising afternoon in Columbus into a stunning defeat. Luke Fahey finished with 360 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Jeremiah Smith caught seven passes for 133 yards and a touchdown, while Bo Jackson rushed for 48 yards and two scores. However, Ohio State converted just 0-of-4 fourth-down attempts, struggled to establish its running game and could not get the defensive stops needed to regain control. Ryan Day said after the game that Ohio State has to “evaluate everything” and called losing three games in a season “unacceptable.” Now sitting at 6-3, with its Big Ten and College Football Playoff aspirations hanging by a thread, Ohio State faces some difficult questions. In this postgame edition, we break down: • How Oregon erased Ohio State’s 14-0 lead and took control of the game. • Why the fake punt changed the entire afternoon. • Luke Fahey’s performance and the challenges facing the freshman quarterback. • Ohio State’s defensive breakdowns and missed opportunities. • The fourth-down decisions, turnovers and situational football that doomed the Buckeyes. • What Ryan Day’s postgame comments tell us about the state of the program. • Whether Ohio State can salvage anything from the remainder of its 2026 season. The Buckeyes host Northwestern next week before traveling to Nebraska and closing the regular season against Michigan. How much can Ohio State realistically salvage from here?
