Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

We have reached game week, friends! Ohio State will kick off its highly-anticipated 2024 season in just five days against visiting Akron (3:30 p.m. ET; CBS). On today's show, Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle are going to make five predictions for the Buckeyes' season (including one that involves OSU and college football teams in general). The predictions will stem from these questions from Biddle: 1. Barring injury, will Tegra Tshabola start every game for the Buckeyes this season? 2. What post-regular-season honors, if any, will Will Howard earn? (Examples, All-Big Ten first/second/third/fourth-team, Heisman winner/finalist, All-American, etc.) 3. Who will lead Ohio State in rushing and how many yards will they have? 4. Who will lead the Buckeyes in sacks and how many will they have? 5. Name the 12 teams that will make the College Football Playoff, beginning with the champions of the Power 4 conferences. And then Rubin will add five predictions of his own. That and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

There is nobody better. And we got 'em. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter let you know where they'll be this weekend as the season of talent exposure begins.

Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom are going to form one of the best safety tandems in college football this season. It sparked a question that we have been pondering: When was the last time Ohio State had a safety combination this good? Also, is the other shoe going to drop at Michigan relatively soon, or should fans not get their hopes up since the NCAA moves at a very slow pace? Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle also take a look at biggest developments from the Buckeyes' training camp and more. All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

What have been the biggest storylines during Ohio State's training camp with the season opener just 12 days away?

What have been some of the most interesting developments on both sides of the ball for the Buckeyes? Also, what in the world is going on with offensive line recruiting? Why isn't OSU offering more big guys up front since they cannot close the deal often enough with out-of-state O-linemen? Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle tackle that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

The media interviewed Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and all five scholarship quarterbacks on Tuesday. It was quite the interesting day as many notable pieces of information were gleaned about the QBs, the offensive line and more. Speaking of the QBs, when will Ryan Day name his starter? And who will it be? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin make their predictions on today's show, plus: * Will Howard has dropped about 15 pounds to 234 since arriving at Ohio State and is the fastest QB on the roster at 22.1 MPH. All five QBs run over 20 MPH, with Lincoln Kienholz second at 21.9 MPH. * We continue to hear good things about the way Julian Sayin is practicing -- and we saw it for ourselves during the first four practices of camp -- and he was also impressive in front of the media yesterday. So was Howard. Really, all five of the quarterbacks are very impressive young men. As for Sayin, if called upon this year as a true freshman, could he get the job done? * You will like this a lot: Regarding the Buckeyes' offensive line, Kelly said, "I see the makings of a really good unit up front." We're highly intrigued. * Is Caleb Downs really going to play some running back this year? Are we buying that at all? * Plus, we'll hit on any pertinent recruiting topics. All of that and more is coming your way on a jam-packed Wednesday 5ish.

Can anything be done about it? * What statistical numbers does Will Howard have to hit this year for the Buckeyes to achieve their goals?

Jarquez Carter is ready to make his call. The Class of 2025 defensive tackle from Newberry, Fla., will announce his college choice on Thursday. If Carter chooses Ohio State over Miami (Fla.), Florida and several others, it would give the Buckeyes six defensive linemen in this cycle. We (would) love that. Carter is not the lone Ohio State target ready to pick a school. Trey McNutt is ready. Will Conroy is ready not to go to Ohio State. The Buckeyes are also chasing several prospects in SEC territory.

Unfortunately, Ohio State will likely be without third-year sophomore running back T.C. Caffey this season due to a knee injury, per multiple sources. The Buckeyes have an excellent 1-2 punch at tailback with TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, but there is a lack of depth behind them. The only other two scholarship RBs on the roster are true freshmen James Peoples and Sam Williams-Dixon. What do we expect out of Peoples and Williams-Dixon this season? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus: * If any of the top four wide receivers go down this year, who would be the next man up? Bryson Rodgers? Jayden Ballard? Mylan Graham? * What is JBook's vibe on the upcoming announcements of Vernell Brown III and David Sanders Jr? * Any concerns that one or more of OSU's current 2025 verbal commits could flip?

Ohio State is streaking towards the No. 1 overall class in the 247Sports recruiting rankings. Guess who's making a serious run at the same crown? Them Ducks. We also have two Ohioans to discuss - Trey McNutt and Will Conroy. Will that duo need to adjust to the Western time zone for college? And invest in galoshes? It's possible. Oregon is not only predicated to be chief competition for B1G on-field supremacy, Dan Lanning and Co. are recruiting with a purpose (and Nike backing, let's be honest).

David Sanders Jr. released his final four of Ohio State, Tennessee, Georgia and Nebraska on Sunday, and added that he will make his choice public on Aug. 17.

The game of football is won in the trenches. You've heard this. We have to agree. It starts and ends with the big guys up front on offense and defense. WRU? Sure. QB factory? Affirmative. DBU? We can make a strong argument. But the trenches ... the trenches. Which brings us to defensive linemen Trajen Odom and Maxwell Roy. Two guys that get it done in their respective high school trenches. Our Bill Kurelic has rolled Crystal Balls for both to do the same for Ohio State. We get you totally up to speed on that duo and their impending commitments, offer info on David Sanders, Dorian Brew, Jordan Davison and others before a deep dive on new offensive lineman commitment Jake Cook.

We know the Buckeyes have a star-studded crew of veteran talent this season. That's what happens when a class replete with NFL Draft worthy talent basically all decide on another season with Ohio State. The Natty is the focus. But after that, the 2025 NFL Draft promises to be a Buckeye-flavored event. That's why Dane Brugler is here. The Athletic's NFL Draft Expert recently penned an article theorizing Ohio State could boast the biggest draft class - EVER - next April at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisc. It's not hyperbole. An argument can be made Brugler was conservative in his estimate. We dive deep with Dane on a potentially epic class, hypothesize which Buckeyes will be picked and when before taking questions submitted via The Front Row. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
