Great Scott! | Commitments coming ... soon? Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

You know the prospects. We know the prospects. All that's left is putting a pen to paper.

OK, we need verbal commitments first - but you get the point. The clock is ticking. We are close to finding out whether Aaron Scott picks Ohio State or Michigan. Will Kingston Viliamu-Asa pick Ohio State, USC or Notre Dame?

Will Brandon Baker pick Ohio State, Oregon ... or somewhere else?

Lots to figure out. We have just the guys to do it: Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter.

Let's talk about the Buckeyes' offense Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

We did a deep dive on Ohio State's 2023 defense on Monday's show. Today, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle take a close gander at what to expect from the Buckeyes' offense this season. Presuming he is the starting quarterback, how will Kyle McCord perform? Throwing to the best WR corps in the country will help the cause for sure. But what about the offensive line? Are we concerned? Should we be? What do we expect out of the running backs? What about the tight ends?

That is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Will the Buckeyes close the deal(s)? We've got vibes aplenty.

Add that to a preview of today's 7-on-7 action in Ohio both Bill and Mark will be in attendance for and you've got yourself a show.

Let's talk about the Buckeyes' defense Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

What can be expected from Ohio State's defense in 2023? The Buckeyes improved from 59th to 14th in the country in total defense during Jim Knowles' first season as coordinator in 2022. However, OSU's defense cost the team dearly in consecutive losses to close out the season against Michigan and Georgia.

In addition to it being his first year in Columbus, Knowles inherited a lack of veteran talent on the defense. We know this because only one player was drafted off the Buckeyes' 2022 defense ... and that was third-round pick Zach Harrison. That was it.

This season should be different in a good way for Ohio State. Not only is it the second year of the Knowles' system, but the most talented players on the defense appear ready to come of age. There are a lot of third-year and second-year players who are extremely talented on the defensive side of the ball.

Let's take a close look at all three levels of the Buckeyes' defense in 2023 and what reasonable expectations are for this group. That is coming your way on the Monday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.
