    What will Ohio State's wide receiver production really look like under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith?

    In this episode, we break down how the Buckeyes' WR room changes in 2026 — from projected stats and snap counts to who benefits most from Jeremiah Smith's gravity and which receivers lose snaps in a system that won't rotate like the Brian Hartline era.

    🔍 Topics covered:

    • Projected Ohio State WR stats under Arthur Smith

    • Estimated snap counts for Jeremiah Smith, Brandon Inniss, and the WR2 role

    • How Arthur Smith's offense changes WR usage

    • Why this WR room may peak late, not early

    • Who loses playing time with fewer 11-personnel snaps

    • How tight ends and running backs benefit from WR gravity

    Arthur Smith's offense isn't about spreading the ball to everyone — it's about efficiency, leverage, and timing. That changes how Ohio State uses its elite receiver talent and reshapes expectations for transfers, freshmen, and rotational players.

    If you're expecting 2019-style volume, this episode explains why that's not coming — and why the Buckeyes may be more dangerous in November than September.

    Ohio State's offense didn't suddenly break in 2025 — college football changed.

    In this episode, we break down why explosive plays vanished from Ohio State's offense, why the same thing is happening across the sport, and how modern defenses have completely caught up to spread offenses.

    We dig into:

    • Why explosive runs and passes are down nationwide

    • How defenses are winning on 1st-and-10

    • Why Ohio State's offense felt "compressed" late in games

    • The hidden difference between explosive rate vs explosive impact

    • Why this trend made life harder for Jeremiah Smith and the passing game

    • How this explains Ohio State's offensive struggles in big moments

    • And why this shift is exactly why Arthur Smith was hired

    This isn't about tempo.
    It's not about throwing more.
    It's about how football is evolving — and why Ohio State is adjusting.

    If you've been asking "What happened to the big plays?" — this episode explains it.

    Ohio State has the best wide receiver in college football — but the rest of the WR room is wide open heading into 2026.

    In this Ohio State football roster reset, we examine:

    • Why Jeremiah Smith changes everything

    • The impact of losing Carnell Tate

    • Ohio State's first-ever transfer portal WR additions

    • What Kyle Parker and Devin McCuin actually bring to the offense

    • Whether Chris Henry Jr. can live up to massive expectations

    • Which receivers are most likely to start alongside Smith

    This episode focuses on structure, roles, and development, not offseason hype. The Buckeyes don't need stars — they need answers.
