Welcome to Buckeye Film Breakdown
Smart, Clear, Team-Centered Analysis for Ohio State Fans
Ohio State football has one of the most passionate, informed, and active fan communities anywhere in sports.
Buckeye Film Breakdown is joining that ecosystem with a focus on something very specific: helping fans see the strategy behind the results and understand what’s happening on the field at a deeper level.
Built on the same foundation as Browns Film Breakdown, our mission is straightforward: Provide clear film study, thoughtful analysis, and a connected community for fans who want to appreciate the “how” and “why” of Buckeye football.
