## Resource

Tony Gerdeman has five Ohio State football predictions for Tom Orr to judge. Some are bold. Some are reasonable. Some may depend on opportunity, schedule, injuries, development, and how quickly new faces emerge for the Buckeyes this season. Tony and Tom discuss several areas that could shape Ohio State’s year, including young offensive playmakers, linebacker production, special teams pressure, close-game situations, and whether the Buckeyes can answer one of the biggest questions facing the offense. 00:00 — Intro 00:11 — Tom prepares for Tony’s predictions 00:26 — Prediction No. 1 01:36 — How realistic is the first prediction? 03:01 — Prediction No. 2 04:39 — Why early-season narratives matter 06:56 — Texas games and linebacker expectations 08:44 — Prediction No. 3 09:40 — Prediction No. 4 10:24 — Late-game kicking situations 12:12 — Prediction No. 5 13:48 — Why the final prediction may be more realistic than it sounds 15:46 — One key difference from last year 16:57 — BuckeyeInsiders.com launch update 17:36 — Wrap-up Which prediction do you think is most likely to happen?
