Ohio State has a clear target on them for the 2025 season as the reigning National Champions that went on quite the run in 2024.

After losing to Michigan, the Buckeyes went on the best run the game has seen with wins over Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame.

But with spring practice beginning on Monday, it is onto a new season for the Buckeyes. The National Championship is in the rearview mirror and now the focus has to be on trying to repay.

Ryan Day revealed on Monday that leaders on the team are taking an interesting approach to things this spring.

"One of the first things was, to reinforce the culture,” Day told the media. “The leaders of this group decided that they wanted to take some of the National Championship stuff down in the facility because this year's team didn't win that championship, last year's team did."

Ohio State has a new banger hanging for the 2024 National Championship at the indoor field inside of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. However, the leadership committee has decided to take down some of the National Championship material displayed elsewhere.

Ohio State won’t have team captains until the fall, but the leadership committee is made up of players who could potentially be team captains. Think of seniors like Sonny Styles and Davison Igbinosun.

Winning it all back-to-back is a tough task. Georgia did it in 2021 and 2022, and Alabama did it in 2011 and 2012. After that, you have to go all the way back to 1994 and 1995 when Nebraska did it.

Ohio State is already making the right notions to show that they are hungry to not settle for the one National Championship, which is exactly what fans should want to see.
