Why did Ohio State only score two touchdowns against Nebraska, and will the next three tests be even tougher? Monday Madness Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

Nathan and Doug both take a closer look at the various offensive dynamics from Ohio State's 26-17 victory at Nebraska. How much of the problem stemmed from the Buckeyes not playing up to expectations, and how much came from Nebraska defenders stepping up? And, if it's the latter, what does that mean against tougher opponents the next three weeks? Also, looking at the playoff situation after the weekend's shake-up.

Which West team is up next as Ohio State's cross-division rival? Is Adrian Martinez playing Ohio State for an 11th time? Why is Nebraska's best receiver a Montana transfer? Car rentals? Volcanos? It's hard not to get slap happy on this one. It's a classic sign of Nebraska fatigue.

True of False: Ohio State football's offense is better than Georgia's defense? Nov 04, 2021

Show notes

We tried something new and it may become a staple. Our texters sent us their "true or false" questions about everything from Quinn Ewers' transfer potential to whether Chris Olave is OSU's third-best receiver to whether the Buckeyes will have the Big Ten East locked up before The Game. And you know we had to involve Chili's in some way.

Buckeye Talk Rant: This could be the best College Football Playoff Committee yet Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

We're trying something new here on Buckeye Talk. The headlines, which used to drop on Tuesdays, are no more. So instead, Doug will attempt to drop a short discussion each Tuesday to bridge the gap between the Monday and Wednesday episodes of Buckeye Talk. He'll talk mostly about an issue related to college football or Ohio State football, and then he'll sometimes hit on an issue in the world he's wondering about.

For this first Rant, the topics are whether this might be the best College Football Playoff Selection Committee yet, and the deal with rug stores. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.

Ohio State vs. Penn State game preview, picks and over-unders, and does the OSU offense make nothing matter? Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

On this Friday Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means preview the Buckeyes' matchup with Penn State on Saturday night in Ohio Stadium.

This is the best secondary that Ohio State has faced, but just how good are the Nittany Lions corners and safeties?

Can PSU QB Sean Clifford, if he's healthy enough, and receiver Jahan Dotson give Ohio State any trouble?

Or does none of this analysis matter because the OSU offense is so explosive and efficient, it renders all other pregame discussion irrelevant?

Doug, Nathan and Stephen make their picks for the game, as well as for Michigan-Michigan State and Iowa-Wisconsin.
