## Resource

Ohio State Buckeyes gear up for game week as quarterback Julian Sayin faces unexpected slights from Heisman oddsmakers and national analysts. Can Sayin silence his doubters after being overlooked in preseason lists despite an outstanding first year in Columbus? Host Matt Fontana and former Buckeyes QB Justin Zwick break down Ryan Day’s press conference insights, the evolving Buckeyes depth chart, and the intense backup quarterback battle between Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair. Key talking points include new faces on both sides of the ball—highlighting transfers like Devin McEwen, Earl Little, James Smith, and John Walker—and how an overhauled defensive line could shape Ohio State’s championship hopes. Hear inside analysis of offensive line shakeups, the impact of new turf at Ohio Stadium, and fan-favorite matchups beyond Michigan. Will the Buckeyes dominate Ball State and begin answering critics, or is bigger drama looming ahead of the Texas showdown?
