Monday Musings: Top 5 Questions for Game 2 – Grambling State

Posted on September 1, 2025 by Buckeye50_Josh Leave a comment

Fresh off a gritty 14–7 win over No. 1 Texas, Ohio State returns home to face Grambling State in Week 2. The Buckeyes proved they can win a slugfest, but now the focus shifts to sharpening details, building rhythm in the run game, and giving Julian Sayin more confidence as the new QB1. Ryan Day’s team will be heavy favorites, but the real test isn’t the scoreboard—it’s whether Ohio State can clean up the offensive line play, establish consistency on the ground, and showcase its depth before Big Ten play begins. Expect to see plenty of rotations, plenty of young faces, and hopefully plenty of answers about what this team looks like beyond a top-five showdown.

Ryan Day made it official: Julian Sayin will be Ohio State’s starting quarterback, taking his first snaps in the scarlet and gray on the biggest stage imaginable — a Noon showdown in The Shoe against No. 1 Texas on August 30th, live on FOX.

Sayin won’t face it alone. Sonny Styles, fresh off being named the Block O recipient, anchors a captain group that blends proven stars with emerging voices: Styles, Caleb Downs, Austin Siereveld, and Brandon Inniss. Together, they represent the leadership core of a roster aiming to defend its national title.

It’s an opener that feels more like a playoff game — a rematch with Texas, the defending SEC champions, in front of 100,000 Buckeye faithful. And yet, there’s a sense of belief in Columbus. With Sayin under center, Styles setting the defensive tone, and four captains uniting the locker room, Ohio State doesn’t just enter 2025 with hope — it enters with purpose.
