Ryan Day almost names a starting QB ... and can finally discuss Quinn Ewers Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

It's the Tuesday Buckeye Talk as Ohio State coach Ryan Day didn't exactly name a starting quarterback on Monday, but he almost did. Day said C.J. Stroud had separated himself from the other quarterbacks, and that's what Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means opened this episode with. Then it was on to Quinn Ewers, who is officially enrolled at Ohio State and at practice, which means Day can finally say his name. But he still didn't want to say too much. But the guys had plenty to say.

It's another big QB day on Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.

Will Chris Olave earn a spot on Ohio State's receiver Mount Buckmore? Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

Mount Buckmore moves onto receivers as Doug Lesmerises, Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and the text subscribers make their choices for the top four receivers in Ohio State football history. Doug believes there are nine good candidates for the top four spots, and while the guys agree on several receivers, they don't agree on everyone.

When his OSU career is done after this season, will Chris Olave be one of those top four receivers? Very possible.

Is Ohio State giving young players a chance? Plus, hating beaches and amusement parks Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

On this Thursday Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means take an episode to keep things shorter and a little more breezy.

Seven quick questions form the backbone here, starting with the idea of whether Ohio State is giving young players on the rise more of a chance to win starting jobs.

Then the guys depart football to talk about the best games they've ever seen, how they got started as sports writers, burger toppings, beaches and amusement parks. One of them doesn't care for beaches or amusements parks. Then at the end, there's a brief discussion of TV shows they are watching, plus the reading of some reviews, including some reviews that made listeners nervous because of a fight.

See ... easy breezy Buckeye Talk.

Ryan Day's plan to pressure the QBs, plus Dawand Jones, Sevyn Banks and more Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

On this Tuesday Buckeye Talk episode, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means dive into Ryan Day's most interesting points from a revealing Monday news conference after Ohio State's fifth practice of the preseason.

First, they go over how Day said he was applying pressure to quarterbacks in practice in the search to find a starter.

Then they discussed the movement on the offensive line, which could include Dawand Jones battling for a starting job at tackle.

Then was the news of an injury that has sidelined No. 1 corner Sevyn Banks for a couple practices. There's no reason to think it's serious at this point, but how much would the Buckeyes miss Banks if he was out for a game?

Show notes

Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means debate the greatest Ohio State running backs of all-time on the latest Mount Buckmore edition of Buckeye Talk. Texters voted and the guys each picked their top four.

The top three are pretty obvious. But the battle for No. 4 is fierce. And then the question is, could freshman TreVeyon Henderson eventually claim that fourth spot as his own?
