Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

Ohio State got back on the winning track against Tulsa with a 41-20 triumph that was not as easy as the score might indicate. C.J. Stroud was not crisp. Chris Olave was a box score ghost. The defense ... oh, the defense. TreVeyon Henderson broke the school's single-game freshman rushing record in his inaugural start so the day was not without positives. With Akron next on the schedule, we take stock of several situations with long-term permutations for Ohio State's program. Matt Baxendell is here for that and to help break down how the B1G fared before taking a look at national scores relevant to your Buckeyes. Spend some of your Sunday morning with us, ‘Nutters.

Ohio State defeated Tulsa 41-20, but the concerns on defense continue in full force. Also, what is up with the play of OSU QB CJ Stroud? But there was good news too, such as TreVeyon Henderson introducing himself as a superstar on the collegiate level.

Who will call the defense for Ohio State Saturday against Tulsa and likely for the remainder of the season?

Help on defense? Yes ... please. This weekend's opponent does not share marquee status - Tulsa is not the national NIKE darling Oregon is - but Ohio State's top visitor this weekend deserves the marquee to himself. Class of 2023 linebacker Troy Bowles is scheduled to be in Columbus this weekend. He can expect that red carpet treatment, especially given his profile among expected visitors. The Dean of Ohio State Recruiting, Bill Kurelic, pinch hits for 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong, who is on assignment chasing down a Manning family member. Kurelic goes in-depth on Bowles, Chris McClellan, Christen Miller, Hero Kanu and Caden Curry before we get into USC's firing of Clay Helton and what Trojan recruits re-kindled Ohio State's flame. We finish with a quick discussion on QB recruiting. Is Medina's Drew Allar a realistic target for Corey Dennis and Ryan Day? Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

The sun came up again. Yes, 'Nutters, we will be OK. Let's get this thing turned around ... and quick. Will Ohio State need to make serious changes to achieve the lofty goals in front of them? Are there changes that even can be made? Has the defensive ship sailed? Duane Long is here to break it all down. Coaching changes? Personnel changes? Status quo? What is it going to take? Duane has several suggestions - including some drastic personnel ideas. We also get into USC's firing of Clay Helton and what that means for Trojans recruits now back on the market ... or not.

Reactions were plentiful following Ohio State's 35-28 loss to Oregon at the Horseshoe on Saturday. We certainly had lots of opinions of our own. After sleeping on it for a couple nights, do we feel any different? What can be made of the 2021 Buckeyes thus far? Where will they go from here? Is there any chance the defense will improve enough for Ohio State to be a legitimate contender to reach their goals? Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to discuss some hard truths about this year's squad. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

That did not go as expected. Ohio State welcomed Oregon for a noon start aiming to send a national message. Oh, there was a message sent. But it wasn’t the one we expected. Oregon exposed Ohio State’s defense en route to a 42-35 win. The Buckeyes offense? Not without issues. We tried to pick up the pieces as the sun came up - really, it did - with the People’ Champ, Matt Baxendell, and The Dean of Ohio State Recruiting, Bill Kurelic.

Quarterback dominos are in play. When Quinn Ewers opted to re-classify - going from the Class of 2022 to the Class of 2021 - it created a void. Ohio State no longer had a quarterback commitment in the Class of 2022. For now. The Buckeye State's top '22 signal caller - Medina's Drew Allar - is verbally committed to Penn State. For now. As Ohio State readies for a national spotlight tussle with Oregon in The Shoe this weekend, there are also major recruiting implications afoot.

Perhaps you've heard: Defensive line coaching is an Ohio State strength. Yes, one could make a convincing argument Larry Johnson is the best position coach right now ... in the sport. Is that good? Apparently, word has gotten out. So it's not surprising Ohio State is chasing Lebbeus Overton, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2023 ... and he is a defensive lineman. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong spoke with Overton recently. How does Ohio State rank in Overton's recently released top 12? Also: * Is Wiltfong about to roll an enormous Crystal Ball towards Columbus? * Not enough?
