Arthur Smith is putting his stamp on the Ohio State Buckeyes offense, and the biggest question is just how different things will look in 2026. With Julian Sayin at quarterback, Jeremiah Smith and Brandon Inniss at receiver, Chris Henry Jr. emerging and a loaded backfield, Ohio State has no shortage of weapons.

On this edition of the Buckeyes Daily Blitz, Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down what he’ll be watching when Arthur Smith’s offense finally hits the field. Will Ohio State lean harder on the running game? Will the tight ends finally become a bigger part of the passing attack? Could we see more snaps under center and fewer frustrating bubble screens?

Tito also reacts to Ohio State naming seven team captains, including Brandon Inniss, Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, Austin Siereveld, Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Payton Pierce and Jaylen McClain. Inniss also earns the prestigious Block O honor as one of the Buckeyes’ biggest team leaders.
