1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Before Ohio State takes the field against Michigan once again, we're looking back at last year's victory to understand exactly why the Buckeyes were successful. In this episode of the Daily Buckeye Blitz, we rewatch Ohio State's dominant performance and break down the five biggest reasons the Buckeyes beat Michigan. From controlling the line of scrimmage and shutting down Bryce Underwood to Matt Patricia's defensive adjustments, Julian Sayin's efficient play, and a physical running game led by Bo Jackson, we examine the blueprint that still applies heading into the 2026 season. We'll also revisit standout individual performances from Kaden McDonald, Caleb Downs, Kenyatta Jackson, Kaden Curry, Sunny Styles, Arvell Reese, Jeremiah Smith, Max Klare, and more while highlighting the biggest lessons Ohio State can carry into this year's edition of The Game. If the Buckeyes follow the same formula, Buckeye Nation has plenty of reasons to be optimistic. 🔴 Subscribe for daily Ohio State football coverage. #OhioState #Buckeyes #Michigan #TheGame #OhioStateFootball #BuckeyeNation Wednesday, July 1, 2026 &amp;nbsp; Join Kalshi and Get $10 Subscribe to the Podcast 📺&amp;nbsp;Watch On YouTube&amp;nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/thebuckeyecast LIKE 👍 and&amp;nbsp;SUBSCRIBE&amp;nbsp;to the YouTube channel &amp;nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/@TheBuckeyeCast?sub_confirmation=1 Questions or Comments?
