Ep. 257: Burying Ohio State's 2019 season and loss to Clemson Jan 08, 2020

Show notes

Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means are back together to -- at the suggestion of a funeral director -- bury the 2019 Ohio State football season and the College Football Playoff semifinal loss to Clemson. This is a final big picture look at everything that went right and wrong with the Buckeyes during their 13-1 season in Ryan Day's first year as head coach, and how all of it will be remembered.

There are a ton of messages of mourning from Ohio State text subscribers about how they've dealt with the loss, and lots of thoughts about what the 2019 season means for Ohio State in 2020 and beyond.

Next week, we'll start looking to the future. But for now, this is a final time for Buckeye Talk as a group to remember what happened this season.

Show notes

Doug Lesmerises checks in (finally, sorry for the delay) after taking another look at Ohio State's Fiesta Bowl loss to Clemson. This isn't the final wrap on that College Football Playoff semifinal loss, but Doug does examine 10 plays that went against Ohio State, with the belief that changing even one of them would have given the Buckeyes a win.

Plus, there's talk about Shaun Wade's decision to stay at Ohio State for the 2020 season and the promotion of Corey Dennis to be the Buckeyes' quarterback coach. This a one-person episode and the full crew and full length will return Wednesday. But for now, enjoy this Buckeye Talk.

Ep. 252: Does Ohio State or Clemson have a Fiesta Bowl coaching advantage? Dec 26, 2019

Show notes

Does Ohio State or Clemson have the better coaching staff in this Fiesta Bowl? On this Christmas Day episode of the podcast, Doug Lesmerises looks at the assistants on both sides of the ball.

The Buckeyes have an offense run by head coach Ryan Day with help from coordinators Kevin Wilson and Mike Yurcich, and a defense coached by co-coordinators Greg Mattison and Jeff Hafley. Yurcich, Mattison and Hafley are all in their first seasons in Columbus.

Clemson counters with three veteran coordinators. Brent Venables has been running the Clemson defense since 2012. Offensively, co-coordinators Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott have been in charge since 2015. So the rise of the Tigers has been overseen by head coach Dabo Swinney and a trio of coordinators he really relies upon.

Doug looks at that and takes many of your other questions in a 45-minute daily Buckeye Talk episode live from Arizona.

Ep. 251: Where Ohio State football has an edge on Clemson Dec 25, 2019

Show notes

Buckeye Talk is in Arizona and that means you’re in Arizona. On this first live episode of the podcast from the Fiesta Bowl, Nathan Baird, Stephen Means and Doug Lesmerises try to prove that they really think Ohio State has a chance to win, after the last episode last week had some listeners wondering why they were hating on the Buckeyes so much.

So after interviewing six Ohio State players and two assistants, and six Clemson players and two assistants on Tuesday, the three of them sat down to take a new batch of questions from text subscribers as part of their daily podcast plan from the Fiesta Bowl before the Buckeyes and Tigers meet on the field Saturday.

Among the areas they covered -- where Ohio State has an edge in this game. Plus, they talked about how Justin Fields’ knee is coming along, what Ryan Day will do about losing assistant coaches, and how much a win would mean for Ohio State’s standing in the college football world.

There will be new podcast episodes on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before they wrap things up with a postgame podcast after Saturday’s game. So thanks for hanging with Buckeye Talk.
