Reading between the lines | Get to know Knowles? Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

There is a ton of Ohio State football news to discuss as Dave Biddle flies solo on today's edition of the show. Ryan Day met with the media on Sunday and answered a lot of interesting questions. Let's read between the lines on what he said regarding his plans for the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator role, how many players might OSU target in the transfer portal this offseason, his thoughts on recent departures from his program and much more.

As for the DC position, could current Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles be an ideal fit in Columbus?

Also, the Buckeyes learned they will be facing Utah in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. What type of matchup is this for Ohio State? Will the Buckeyes be as motivated as the Utes? Will any OSU players opt out of playing in the game?

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

'Critical for the Buckeyes to go in portal on defense' Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

There is a tremendous amount of Ohio State football chatter to get into on today's show as Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit. We start off talking about the transfer portal, specifically who the Buckeyes might lose and who they might bring in. There is a very good chance OSU lands multiple players via the portal on defense. Also on the docket:

* Thoughts on the Buckeyes landing high 4-star quarterback recruit Devin Brown in the 2022 class. (Hint: JBook loves this development.)

* But the No. 1 QB in the country is right here in Ohio: Drew Allar. Will Ohio State regret not landing him one day and losing him to Penn State?

* Which direction will the Buckeyes turn to find their new defensive coordinator?

* Who else is big Iowa fans Saturday night?

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

After an extremely disappointing regular season that ended with a loss to Michigan, what changes does Ryan Day need to make with Ohio State's program? Finding a new defensive coordinator would appear to be item No. 1 on the agenda. What else is on said agenda?

Everyone has weighed in on the Ann Arbor debacle ... except Duane Long.

Well, we certainly took care of that. Duane offers his extended vibes on the loss, why it happened, what changes need to be made and when it all might go down.

Oh yeah, Duane still maintains we should be recruiting tackles to play guard and doubles down on why.

The catharsis continues.

Time to answer some tough questions for Buckeyes Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

* What is head coach Ryan Day going to do about the defense? Does he bring in a defensive coordinator from outside the program? He should.

* Why do the Buckeyes resemble a Big 12 team instead of ... you know ... an Ohio State team?

* How does OSU get manhandled on both sides of the ball in the trenches?

* Was it a perfect storm for the Wolverines? Or is that just a lame excuse?

All of that and more is coming your way on a somber Monday 5ish.
