On today's show, Dave Biddle takes questions from Bucknuts subscribers that we posted to The Front Row message board. Just a small taste of those many topics include:

* Will Jaxon Smith-Njigba return this week against Iowa?

* Which position group has been the biggest pleasant surprise for Ohio State this season?

* Who are the four-best teams in college football this year?

* Did Michigan's rout of Penn State change our minds about how we feel about both the Wolverines and the Nittany Lions?

* Will OSU's play at cornerback improve, or will this be a concern all season?

* How much of the defense has Jim Knowles held back thus far? By the way, the Buckeyes are ranked No. 5 in the country in total defense.

C'mon down Damon Wilson? | Time for HS spring football in Ohio? | Ransom No. 1 safety in country Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

It is Friday and that means Jonah Booker joining Dave Biddle for the Bucknuts Morning 5 podcast. We have a bevy of Ohio State football topics to discuss, starting of course with 5-star edge rusher Damon Wilson being CB'd to the Buckeyes by the Fong and the Dean.

We will also pick up on the debate from yesterday's show about how not having spring football in Ohio stunts the development of players. However, HS football coaches don't want to see spring football become what AAU basketball has become. Is there a happy medium?

We also talk more about OSU recruiting, Lathan Ransom grading out as the No. 1 safety in all of college football per PFF and much more.

All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
