Podcast:Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast Published On: Mon Feb 09 2026 Description: Ohio State had the No. 1 defense in the country in 2025, but the Buckeyes are losing eight starters off of that unit, including four players who are projected as first-round picks.

Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin delve into that and more on the Monday 5ish.
