Did Michigan’s Cheating Scandal Enable Texas Tech’s Gambling Defiance? | Buckeye Weekly PodcastOn the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss a listener question arguing that the NCAA’s handling of Michigan’s Connor Stalions cheating scandal emboldened Texas Tech’s defiant response to quarterback Brennan Sorsby’s gambling-related rules violation. They compare the schools’ approaches, noting Michigan threatened legal action but never went to court, while Texas Tech obtained a Texas judge’s injunction blocking the NCAA’s suspension attempt and released a 22-minute video defending its position. They argue the NCAA has punished or tried to punish wrongdoing (including fines and individual penalties), but courts and conferences like the Big 12 may shape outcomes, and they explore how conference or College Football Playoff decisions could affect Texas Tech if the situation continues.00:00 Welcome and Setup00:45 Listener Question01:25 Michigan vs Texas Tech02:37 NCAA Teeth and Courts04:00 Shameless PR Defense08:18 Mental Health vs Eligibility09:34 Judge Ruling and Big 1212:05 CFP Fallout Scenarios14:07 Wrap Up and Callouts

Will Julian Sayin Run More in 2026? Ohio State QB Run Game Debate | Buckeye WeeklyOn the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, hosts Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr respond to a listener question about Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin using his legs and whether Ryan Day might force a “square peg into a round hole.” They argue the goal isn’t to build the offense around quarterback runs, but to create an implied threat—occasional scrambles or keeps on reads—to make defenses account for the QB and help the run game. They discuss how a few key runs, like Carson Beck’s against Ohio State, can swing outcomes, and note Sayin is mobile enough to pick up critical first downs without being a power runner. They also touch on sacks impacting rushing totals, suggest more run reads and selective early-season reps, and speculate on a season-high carries over/under around five.00:00 Weekend Mailbag Intro00:56 Julian Legs Concern02:27 Threat Not Feature05:08 Carson Beck Example10:09 More Reads RPOs11:51 Arthur Smith Run Game13:19 Carries Over Under15:00 Wrap Up Subscribe

Buckeye Weekly: Texas Judge’s Injunction Lets Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby Play Despite NCAA Gambling RulesOn the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss a Texas judge granting Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby a temporary injunction that allows him to play most of the season despite violating NCAA gambling rules by placing thousands of bets, including on games he could have played in and wagers involving Indiana teammates’ unders. They explain that the injunction runs through a trial date set after the season, making an appeal unlikely to resolve matters in time, and argue this creates major integrity concerns and a precedent that undermines accountability. The hosts criticize Texas Tech leadership and booster Cody Campbell, compare statements from Campbell and NCAA president Charlie Baker about the need for congressional action, and contend the NCAA and schools have enabled chaos by resisting an employee/collective bargaining model.00:00 Welcome and Setup00:23 Sorsby Injunction Explained00:48 Why Betting Is the Red Line02:21 How the Appeal Timeline Fails05:28 Consequences and Accountability07:46 Integrity Questions for Texas Tech09:05 Judge Reasoning Under Fire10:55 Coaches Boosters and No Shame16:35 NCAA Congress and Employee Fix22:43 Bigger Picture and Inevitable Fallout27:06 Final Thoughts and Wrap Up

What OSU Needs to Win the National Title: O-Line, Julian Sayin, Run Game & Defense | Buckeye WeeklyOn the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss results from Tony’s Twitter poll asking fans to finish, “Ohio State will win a national championship this year if ___.” The most common response was improved offensive line play (about 55–60%), driven by late-season issues like pass protection and lack of a running game. They also highlight Julian Sayin’s ability to make plays, process quickly, and add situational mobility, plus a better running game through broken tackles and incremental improvements from young backs. Defense was a smaller share of answers (about 10–15%), with the view that it only needs to remain close to last year’s historically strong standard under Matt Patricia. They also touch on Ryan Day, play-calling, and the addition of Arthur Smith to help address offensive consistency.00:00 Stormy Show Opener00:45 Championship If Question01:56 Offensive Line Top Concern04:01 Julian Sayin Mobility06:33 Running Game Breakthroughs11:21 Defense Expectations15:20 Ryan Day and Arthur Smith19:58 Wrap Up and Subscribe

Will Ohio State Have Another Top-5 Defense in 2026? Buckeye Weekly PodcastOn the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss whether Ohio State can field another top-five defense this season after losing several high-end, versatile defenders. They note last year’s unit was historically great (9.3 points per game, 4.0 yards per play, and no opponent scored 20 defensive points), making a repeat unlikely, especially with a tougher schedule that includes improved offenses like Texas plus high-scoring teams such as USC, Oregon, and Indiana. The hosts expect the defense to remain excellent, citing year two under Matt Patricia, better familiarity with personnel, and the ability to shape roster additions, while acknowledging a more aggressive offense could create shorter fields.00:00 Welcome and Banter00:47 Top Five Defense Question02:44 Why Last Year Was Historic03:57 Patricia Year Two Impact06:29 Schedule Makes It Harder09:33 Roster Depth and New Stars11:45 Predictions 13:50 Wrap Up and Subscriptions

They discuss how Ohio State’s pace has slowed under Ryan Day to reduce wear and injury exposure, making efficiency more important, and note last year’s offense dropped to fifth in Big Ten scoring and was only four points per game better than Iowa. With a deeper roster, a veteran quarterback and play-caller, and more challenging games (including trips to Texas, Iowa, Indiana, USC, and Nebraska plus Oregon and Michigan at home), they debate whether OSU must be more aggressive while recognizing stronger defenses may cap the numbers.00:00 Welcome and Banter00:21 New Podcast Announcement01:06 Quarterback Episode Breakdown02:13 Subscribe and Website Launch03:16 Will OSU Lead Big Ten Offense04:06 Tempo Versus Efficiency06:31 Depth and Injury Management07:51 Schedule Forces Aggression10:38 Last Year Scoring Reality Check11:43 Why Offense Improves in 202613:53 Wrap Up and Call to Action

They walk through the schedule, arguing several losses—Miami, Michigan State, Nebraska (after Miller’s ankle injury), Purdue (missed extra point), Penn State, and Michigan—could have flipped with better quarterback play, coaching continuity, and a full roster, potentially leading to a Big Ten title game and even a BCS National Championship opportunity against LSU.
