Ep. 125: What if no one wins Ohio State's starting quarterback job? Mar 28, 2018

Show notes

Six practices into Ohio State spring football, Urban Meyer wasn't happy with where the Buckeyes were - and that included the quarterback competition.

In this Buckeye Talk Podcast, Doug Lesmerises, Bill Landis and Tim Beilik talk about what Meyer might do if neither Dwayne Haskins nor Joe Burrow nor Tate Martell emerges as the obvious No. 1 quarterback this spring or during preseason camp.

We do that while comparing Burrow to Tom Brady, Baker Mayfield and Mitch Trubisky during various parts of the episode.

While taking your questions we also talk which Buckeyes might be drafted a year from now, if Meyer is just motivating his team with his talk and whether Michigan is a football or basketball school.

How Keita Bates-Diop got his name: An Ohio State audio story Mar 27, 2018

For four years, we never really said Keita Bates-Diop's name correctly.

Now, Ohio State's All-American forward and the Big Ten Player of the Year is headed for the NBA, announcing Monday that he's bypassing his chance to be a fifth-year senior to declare for the NBA Draft.

Before he's gone, here's a story from Doug Lesmerises about his name - how to say it and how he acquired it.

We also dive into the latest Ohio State recruiting commitment, running back Sampson James, and get ready for Ohio State's Pro Day in front of NFL scouts on Thursday.

Ep. 123: Urban Meyer's loyalty; comparing recruiting to restaurants Mar 13, 2018

Show notes

The question of Urban Meyer's loyalty to players is one that always resonates with Ohio State football fans.

So, too, does the question of how fast food restaurants compare to the recruiting styles of college football programs. No, that isn't something that fans of the Buckeyes wonder about?

Well, we answered that question anyway.

On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Bill Landis, Tim Bielik and DOug Lesmerises tackled the greatest question ever submitted to the podcast.

But we didn't only do food. We also talked about Meyer's balance between proven players and rising young stars, got deep into our impressions of sophomore defensive end Chase Young and examined a receiver playing time battle that could shake out between Ben Victor and Jaylen Harris.

Catch it all on the latest Buckeye Talk.

Ep. 122: Every scenario for Ohio State's quarterback battle during spring football Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

Dwayne Haskins, Joe Burrow and Tate Martell have started their competition, and on the latest Buckeye Talk, we examined every way Ohio State's spring football quarterback battle could play out.

How will Urban Meyer handle things if Haskins wins clearly?

What if Haskins and Burrow both look really good?

What if the top two candidates are OK, but Martell flashes his skills and makes it clear this is a three-man race?

Tim Bielik, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises talked all that after watching Ohio State's first spring practice on Tuesday.

We also broke down the former Buckeyes who hurt and helped themselves the most at the NFL Combine, discussed what Demario McCall might do in this offense and had a fight over whether we should have intro music to the podcast.
