Phillip Daniels is healthy again, and Ryan Day still won't commit to giving him his starting job back. Ohio State heads to Kinnick Stadium this Saturday to face No. 14 Iowa, and the biggest question up front isn't about scheme, it's about who starts at right tackle. Phillip Daniels was Ohio State's starter before a injury knocked him out, and Gabe VanSickle stepped in and played well enough that Ryan Day is now calling it a "good problem to have." We break down Day's actual comments on the

Ryan Day Says Ja'Kobi Jackson Ran Harder Than Bo Jackson — And That's a Problem for Ohio State's RB1 Ryan Day just said the quiet part out loud. Coming off Ohio State's Illinois press conference, Day publicly challenged his running backs to "run angry" — and made a point of saying Ja'Kobi Jackson has been running harder than RB1 Bo Jackson.

According to The Athletic's newly released 2026 roster spending estimates, Ohio State leads the entire sport at $49-54 million, edging out Texas' $40-plus million budget, yet it was Steve Sarkisian's Longhorns who walked out of Austin with a stunning 24-23 comeback win after Ohio State blew a 20-point fourth-quarter lead.
