The Ohio State Buckeyes opened their 2024 college football season with a 52-6 win over Akron, but at times things didn’t come as easily for the Bucks as the final score might have indicated.
Ross Fulton is one of the Xs and Os gurus at BuckeyeHuddle.com. He joins host Tom Orr to discuss the reason for some of OSU’s early struggles, as well as taking a look at the impact that new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is already having on the offense.
Plus, how the use of motion helped set up Jeremiah Smith’s second touchdown of the day, why the deep safety isn’t always playing deep in some cover 3 looks on defense, and much more.
