Ohio State Buckeyes 2024 Game-By-Game Prediction

The Ohio State Buckeyes have made more noise than perhaps any other team this offseason. After returning several key players who were already eligible to declare for the NFL draft, Ryan Day built upon an already elite roster by picking up massive additions in the transfer portal including safety Caleb Downs and running back Quinshon Judkins. With so much talent on the roster and an expected step back from Michigan this year, many believe it's now or never for Ryan Day. In this video, I give my thoughts on how I think their season will play out as I go game-by-game predicting outcomes.

Gotta put some respect on Jordan Hancocks name. OSU runs a 4-2-5 defense not a 4-3

[@bschmid100]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@collegefootballspotlight1]

You’re right. I meant to name him

[@JoshuaHemming-dy5yv]

This is going to be one of the greatest defense to play the game and one of the last. You wont see people staying like this. Very proud of the character to carry the tradition most lack today.

[@teddrickclark4833]

I’m so tired of people acting like Michigan wasn’t cheating lol

I'M SO TIRED OF OHIO CHEATING

[@MrMelon-gs6bq]

@@jamescooper3324So you admit Michigan was cheating?

[@trackingnature1652]

When the NCAA releases its footage and evidence in the next couple months that they were cheating had thousands of hours of not just Ohio State but other teams they cheated they said Connor stallions to the games and they knew the signals ahead of time what’s Connor stallion standing next to Jim Harbaugh I’ve never seen a water boy standing next to the head coach during a game? So yes they did sheet and they are going to get penalized in the next couple months but people tend to forget that the new all the players ahead of time

[@darrisstransou]

​@@trackingnature1652a big indicator that they were cheating is their pro prospects numbers were inflated and looked better on film than they actually were and now players like Luke Schoonmaker and Mazi Smith look like pure donkey excrement in the League 😂

[@bam1379]

Should have mentioned the reason Michigan beat OSU in 2021 and 2022 was because they did in fact know the plays OSU was running. Im tired of people just giving credit to a team that cheated for three straight years. I can take a loss but I can’t take cheating.

[@teddrickclark4833]

Completely blows me when ppl don’t mention that

[@steveskuras2515]

Sure, it had to be that. It couldn't have been you got your weak asses handed to them up front on both sides of the ball and your coach is a big PU#$Y😂😂😂

[@jamescooper3324]

Should mention your own coach said he changed the signs in 2022 but yeah only throw in things that fit your narrative 🙃

[@wattsinc.]

​@@jamescooper3324shouldve mentioned they knew the algorithm and only a few could be changed as they only had 9 practices

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

No proof anyone but Conor Stalions was involved with scouting. But what ever makes the failures not hurt as much. What happened in 2023? You still lost?

[@gabrielbb6761]

Man idk how you don’t have more subs and views. You make some really good content

Denzel Burke got burnt by a 6th rounder in Cornelius Johnson in 2022 😂

[@MrMelon-gs6bq]

[@jacobshifflett5117]

Cam brown..then safety cam Martinez, Burke was in zone deep quarters Martinez responsibility.

[@racermike182]

I'm totally biased and agree with your predictions and reasons behind them. Tons of talent and experience and the matchups they have, should be 12-0. One thing that gives me pause is that one game they don't play up to their potential. In the past it's been Purdue, Iowa, letting Penn State stick around, or 2015 MSU 😭. Seems like we always have a game or two that we didn't see coming and the Buckeyes have to fight for their lives to get out of it. Hoping there are none of those and they just dominate.

[@michaelbeecham525]

I agree with you but I'm also biased. You never even mentioned their running back room. It's probably the best in the country if they they stay healthy.

[@collegefootballspotlight1]

I mentioned running backs at 1:31

Lambert-Smith who dat? He's not listed on penn sts roster 🤔

[@MrAcousticZebra]

As a Michigan fan, this Ohio State team is stacked, if Day can't win it all with this group of guys he never will

[@toddb5537]

Lol cmon main. 2015 Ohio st had more talent than 2014! Just having a ton of talent means nothing if QB is trash or OC is trash an those are both questionable!! Now put 2023 OSUs Defense with 2020, 2021, 2022 OSUs offense an Guarantee 2 Nattys for OSU!! But if ands an buts where candies an nuts!!

[@MrAcousticZebra]

@@toddb5537 got a point there man, guess we will see what this season brings

[@d4niel711]

not how that works lmao

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

If Ryan Day doesn’t win the Big 10 this year he will definitely be on the hot seat. He definitely has the most talent, but he has had the most talent the last three years as well and hasn’t done much with it. It will be an interesting season.

[@collegefootballspotlight1]

I think the fanbase will be calling for him to be fired for sure. Whether or not it would actually happen I’m not sure but everything is in place this year. It has to be now for him

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

@@collegefootballspotlight1 If he can find a decent quarterback he has the talent to easily beat anyone but Georgia. He hasn’t had a bad quarterback yet despite some of the fans complaints. With the addition of the four Pac12 teams this is going to be a memorable year.

[@jamescooper3324]

Michigan had the number one statistical defense. PPG is more important than yards

[@collegefootballspotlight1]

ppg is more important but ypg is more indicative

[@pauliewalnuts2527]

they knew the plays before hand

[@izzyhara1823]

Everybody is simply guessing in the toughest games. Folks like this guy are simply regurgitating the standard "conventional wisdom" BS that the national guys throw against the wall.

[@collegefootballspotlight1]

Why watch a prediction then? Guessing is essentially what that is

[@toasttoasted3492]

Ohio State will go undefeated!! You heard it here , but will not win the national championship

[@conmaz]

Oregon will win by 3 points. GO DUCKS 🦆🦆🦆🦆

[@wattsinc.]

I doubt that

[@Atwater20]

Ohio State can't win it all with Day as coach, doesn't matter how good the players are if the coach plays not to lose and then does in the big games.

[@johnnyoldenjr.]

Osu definitely has an easy schedule

[@JeffreyLeohner]

@@johnnyoldenjr. Ohio States non conference schedule is easy, but they play in the best conference in America, with the addition of USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon joining the conference! This is better than even the SEC, period! 🌰🏈

[@johnnyoldenjr.]

@JeffreyLeohner yea they don't play usc, ucla or washington this year🤣🤣 just oregon

[@JeffreyLeohner]

@@johnnyoldenjr. Like I said before, Ohio State has an easy non-conference schedule, not overall schedule! They play in the toughest, and best conference in college football! They play Oregon, top five team, Michigan, top fifteen team, Penn State, top fifteen team, Iowa, ranked team, and possible more ranked teams depending on how things play out! Oh! And you spelled my name wrong! Go Buckeyes! Bring home the Natty! 🌰🏈

[@johnnyoldenjr.]

@@JeffreyLeohner idk why people think having an easy schedule is a bad thing. Try to hype it up as much you want it's an easy schedule

Oregon is the most talented opponent but it always comes down to TTUN.

Typical easy schedule

cry

[@user-gj5pd5tk3z]

My prediction is they will lose again to Michigan . Don't matter how much talent Ohio state has ,they are simply a soft team . It is how day coaches ,,he creates highly talented soft marshmallow teams .

[@collegefootballspotlight1]

Defense turned a corner last season imo and they played better on that side of the ball last year

[@stefmontey]

Also we’ve been beating chip kelly every year with a far superior QB and UCLA DTR so the take that he’s a advanced CFB offensive Mind is outdated that was him at Oregon not today. Atuzen stadium it’s self is an obstacle that Ohio will have to overcome itself let alone playing a very good Oregon team so yeah ppl keep on sleeping on them ducks will find out very soon 🗣️🦆

[@JarrettBarker]

Literally no one is sleeping on Oregon, they will be top 5 to start the year period

[@collegefootballspotlight1]

I called it a 50-50 game bro. Can’t please everyone I guess

[@larrychannell7056]

Ok now you are pushing it Oregon will be lucky if they are within 14 points of Ohio State. YOU SILLY GOOSE!!!!!

[@bschmid100]

I’m a buckeye fan. Oregon worries me. But u can’t compare ucla chip to Ohio state chip. Ohio state is far superior at every position.

[@stefmontey]

@@bschmid100 I’m not comparing the team I’m talking about the man. And yes UCLA had a far better QB DTR was a beast Will is not as good as DTR the WR’S are but hey we’ll see I’m telling you we’ve seen chip before he isn’t calling anything new

[@stefmontey]

You just said Ohio is lacking at QB & Oline & you believe they will just walk into Eugene & beat Oregon lol. Oregon has 2 QB’S who could start at Ohio , one of the best Olines in the nation, & can match Ohio at dline almost DB’S you gotta watch more football. & we match at RB’S🤷‍♂️ you’ll revisit your list in October & realize Ohio should have got a better QB & Oline the things that matter most

[@collegefootballspotlight1]

They’re not lacking. They’re just not elite there like they are at every other position. Ohio State’s defense is also in a different league than Oregon’s imo

Oregon man! You must not know the history of this series! Ohio State has dominated them 10-1, all-time ! Honestly should have been 11-0, but Ohio State screwed up coaching wise! I know that’s the past, but this is possible the most loaded, and best team ever in the history of college football! I know Ohio State is on the road at your place, but it won’t matter, I really don’t think this game will be as close as some think! I see them going undefeated, and beating Georgia in the Natty, to avenge that playoff loss a few years ago! Ohio State was the better team with Stroud at quarterback, and definitely would have crushed TCU in the Natty, just like Georgia did! Good luck! Oregon, and everyone else is going to need it! 🌰🏈

[@tompiper1480]

They will lose 1 or 2 games
