This team has to be cursed. Allen out mid-game with a knee injury. Mitchell out. Wade out. Harden with a broken finger. No matter who they have or who they get…can’t. Stay. Healthy.

2025 Season: Are You Ready For Some Football?

ScriptOhio
Good analysis by Ramzy Nasralla for 11W of what went wrong in 2025:

Four Reasons Why​

The NFL Combine was a healthy dose of confirmation bias.

Everything that transpired in Indy over the weekend simply reinforced what you've either heard, read or said yourself for weeks. How did the Buckeyes lose back-to-back games to end its season with these guys on the team?

This is the type of angst that can consume you forever, like all of those other seasons piled up in Ohio State's reviled Squandered Season cabinet that leak out every offseason. So let's bury 2025. A righteous cleansing, because lot of you (not you, reader) are way into your feelings too often.

We'll start with the hardest lesson in 136 years of Ohio State football, which is that even if the lessons of 2025 are learned and retained, college football is now changing at a velocity which may render them artifacts rather than principles in short order. Planning to build something meaningful in two or three seasons is a wasted effort. Win now is every program's mandate.

The Buckeyes are not going to solve how last season collapsed in winter so that 2026 turns out differently, because it's a whole new team, which will have a seasoned OC calling plays and an actual proven coordinator for the third unit, which has been an anchor on the program since the pandemic. Those NFL Combine highlight machines will be wearing different helmets.

The head coach, several faces and all of the expectations remain the same. It's time to cleanse ourselves of 2025 - here are the four reasons the Buckeyes didn't go back-to-back as CFP champions:
  • Special Teams [Field Goals, punting, a just-get-off-the-field mentality creating a huge deficit of hidden yards and costly penalties - a mediocre dynamic now as entrenched in the program as Wide Receiver U]
    • Remedy: Robbie Discher hired. First qualified hire for that role since Matt Barnes in 2019.
  • Offensive Philosophy & Execution [failing to accommodate for an inexperienced QB against talent-equated opponents, chronic Red Zone inefficiencies not involving the aforementioned Field Goal kicker, sticking with long-developing routes while OL was in shambles, dialing up a critical 3rd down conversion for TE4 while benching WRs, sticking with a silent count vs. Miami, lack of game control agility vis a vis When It's Time to Turn Up the Gas, We Will]
    • Remedy: Arthur Smith hired, Cortez Hankton hired.
  • Talent Evaluation [critical misses, notably Ethan Onianwa as the program's biggest whiff in the portal era, inflated impression of TE room's capabilities, RB4 was RB1 to start the season, a walk-on was WR4 at WRU to end the season]
    • Remedy: A work in progress, always.
  • Personnel Decisions[allowing a first-time play-caller to run the offense, which had negative effects on his position group and the offense, his departure the week of the B1G championship, hiring an OL coach who is more specialized in other elements of the offense than OL coaching]
    • Remedy: Prepare for uninvited chaos.

In an interview with Jim Rome, Day says that he has a lot of faith in the ability of Sayin to keep growing, even as next season goes along.

"There's not many guys his age with one year of playing that have made it to New York City...For his first year as a starter, he did a lot of great things. This is one of the few times in my career that I've had a quarterback come back to play for two years in a row...The best quarterbacks are the ones that do that: they get better year after year, and as we've all seen, experience in college football matters."

Day understands that Sayin lacked experience, and now that he has that, the Buckeyes should be able to play better in the games late in the season that they struggled in. Sayin's worst games were in the Big Ten Championship and the Cotton Bowl, two of the games they needed to win to help complete their goals.

Ohio State is going to be one of the favorites to win it all next season.

Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers may be on the verge of winning a huge recruiting battle.

On3’s Steve Wiltfong, Adam Gorney, Sam Spiegelman, and Chad Simmons all predicted this week that LSU will land 2027 five-star cornerback Joshua Dobson.

“Dobson is one of the best cornerbacks in the class and the development at LSU over the years has stood out so much, along with his relationship with Corey Raymond,” noted Gorney.
