Buckeyes beginning to get heathier? | OSU sporting a top-10 defense Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

Ohio State is fairly banged up through five games, which is to be expected when playing a violent sport like football. But are the Buckeyes beginning to get healthier overall as a team? You could make that argument, but there are also several players whose statuses remain up in the air as OSU heads to Michigan State on Saturday (4 p.m. ET; ABC).

Head coach Ryan Day said he is hoping that Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cameron Brown and TreVeyon Henderson will play against the Spartans. He also mentioned Jordan Hancock is back practicing at full speed, but they are going to be cautious with him and hold him out until at least after the bye week next week. Kourt Williams has been able to play a little bit, but defensive coordinator Jim Knowles mentioned on Tuesday that Williams is banged up and they need to get him fully healthy.

Speaking of Knowles, entering the season Day said his expectation was for the Buckeyes to have a top-10 defense. Well, guess what? Ohio State is ranked exactly 10th in the country in total defense. How 'bout that?

Also, what do we think of the matchup against Michigan State with OSU favored by 26.5 points?

All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.

The good & bad about the Buckeyes through 5 games (mostly good) Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

How do we feel about this Ohio State team five games into the season? Pretaay, pretaay good as Larry David would say. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle on the Monday 5ish to do a deep dive on what we like and dislike thus far. Spoiler: There is far more of the former than the latter. However, there are also some concerns that we cannot ignore. But overall, the Buckeyes are playing well and continue to improve in many areas.

That and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

It is a jam-packed edition of the Wednesday 5ish as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle. Among the topics covered:
