We had a chance to talk with Ohio State head coach Ryan Day on Tuesday as the Buckeyes were back at it with the start of phase two of spring practice. Spring Break is over and the Buckeyes will now run off 13 practices with the Spring Game being the last one. Everyone will notice that Ohio State is without a running backs coach as Tony Alford did the unthinkable and left for Michigan after two spring practice. Well, Ohio State has someone filling in for the running back room and you won't believe who it is. That and a whole lot more in this edition of the Big Me Kickoff.

The Big Ten goes to 18 teams in 2024 but many of the known quarterbacks in the league leave prior to the move including the likes of Caleb Williams, Michael Penix and Bo Nix, And of course that team up north loses JJ McCarthy for good measure. We know that the Buckeyes will have a new quarterback out there in 2024, regardless of the pick with only one start (at Ohio State) between the five candidates. This is not talking about the Ohio State starter however, there is a whole offseason for that. No, instead we want to talk about the rest of the Big Ten as there are some names that have joined the league through the portal while some other names emerged in the postseason. Who makes my list?

We have seen a lot in the way of conference movement over the past couple of seasons and 2024 will see both the Big Ten and SEC bring on new members for competition with schools like USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, Texas and Oklahoma all making moves. But is this just the appetizer for the main course of taking the Power Five down to just a Power Two (granted, we are already at a Power Four with the demise of the Pac-12)? Andy Staples of On3.com posted what his idea of a Super Conference (well, two leagues, 48 teams) might look like and it got us thinking here. We don't disagree that this is the way, where we are heading, but is this the right move and what may be the biggest challenge. A hint... we don't agree whatsoever with where Ohio State is placed in terms of a division. Join us and find out more in this edition of the Big Me Kickoff.

Ohio State has eight players at the ongoing NFL Scouting Combine but there seems to be very little buzz about the event, different than in years past. Is it a case of the disappointing end to 2023? Is it the fact that Ohio State doesn't have a QB going through the paces? Is it the fact that several players, including Marvin Harrison Jr., are not working out? Or are we making too much of it? That and more in this edition of the Big Me Kickofff. And we also want to thank our partners over at KnowNaturals.com.

We talked about the recently completed Senior Bowl, an event that both Mike Hall and Josh Proctor took part in. Plus, where does Marvin Harrison Jr. rank in this draft class if you take positional bias out of the equation? A couple of former Ohio State quarterbacks have seen things trending in different positions as CJ Stroud blew up in 2023 while Justin Fields may be trade bait.

The NCAA really has turned into the Power Two when it comes to football and while nobody in the ACC or Big 12 want to hear that, too bad. We got to looking at the upcoming 2024 season and decided to make an ultimate road trip of games from just the two major conferences, to see if there was enough inventory between the 34 teams to have 14 straight weeks of marquee games. The short answer is yes. Take a look at our written version: https://buckeyehuddle.com/2024/02/01/the-ultimate-power-two-road-trip/ And we also want to thank our partners over at KnowNaturals.com.
