Show notes

What exactly is going on with Ohio State redshirt freshman running back Miyan Williams? Jonah Booker says it's a mystery.

JBook joins Dave Biddle to discuss that situation, plus:

* Emeka Egbuka is Ohio State's best kick returner since ...?

* What are early impressions about the job Matt Barnes is doing calling the defense?

* Ronnie Hickman is emerging as a star for the Buckeyes.

Red Carpet report | Chasing Xavier: OSU, ND or Iowa? Oct 07, 2021

Show notes

Ohio State hosts B1G foe Maryland this weekend. Those Terps should not expect the red carpet.

The Buckeyes will also host several coveted recruiting targets on Saturday. Their expectations for red carpet love should be high.

Who is on the guest list? Are we on commitment watch? Speaking of impending commitments ... where should we be looking?

Can Ohio State win a spirited Midwest recruiting battle with Notre Dame and Iowa?

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to provide wisdom on those and several other topics - including who wins between Iowa and Penn State this Saturday in Iowa City.

Stroud 'clearly looks like a different player' | Which four teams will make the CFP? Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

Did C.J. Stroud silence his critics with his performance at Rutgers last Saturday, or was it just one game against a mediocre opponent? Matt Baxendell is leaning way more to the former than the latter. Bax is also confident the Buckeyes will keep things rolling against Maryland at Ohio Stadium this Saturday.

Stroud in command | 'This is gonna be ugly' Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

C.J. Stroud's week off proved quite beneficial, after all. The redshirt freshman signal caller was nearly flawless in New Jersey.

Was it a real preview of what's to come? Now healthy, is Stroud ready to lead Ohio State to the promised land?

Duane Long is here to answer that and put in perspective where Ohio State stands in the B1G and nationally after a month or so.

Plus, we take a look at two coveted, expected visitors for the Maryland tussle this coming weekend.

Cleveland.com's Doug Lesmerises from on madness of OSU beat, yelling at other reporters, more Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

We are happy to welcome Doug Lesmerises from Cleveland.com to today's show to discuss the Ohio State beat and all the drama that goes along with it. Doug recently did a 2-part, 4-hour podcast examining the beat, including interviews with many writers on the beat, and he offers his main takeaways on today's show. Why did Doug want to do the podcast? What part do message boards play when covering a team like the Buckeyes?

Also, how did Doug become a sportswriter? What were his initial impressions of the Buckeyes' beat when he joined it in 2005? How has it changed? Has he ever gotten into shouting arguments with other reporters? Does Ohio State have the largest beat in all of American sports, including pro sports?

Almost Live: Is dominance back to stay? | Dream CFP matchup Oct 03, 2021

Show notes

That was more like it ... in so many ways.

Ohio State hit the road for a convincing B1G win over Rutgers, 52-13, and it wasn't even that close. The Buckeyes were simply dominant before halftime and downshifted after the break.

What to make of the win? C.J. Stroud looked tremendous. The Matt Barnes-called defense showed more signs of progress.

We also saw the continuation of a Buckeyes youth movement that is incredibly impactful on and off the field.

The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins to talk about the complete victory plus how the B1G and national results affect Ohio State.

Spend some of your Sunday morning with us, ‘Nutters.

Saturday postgame pod: Reactions after Buckeyes' 52-13 win at Rutgers Oct 03, 2021

Confidence level in Stroud rest of season? Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

Presuming C.J. Stroudis Ohio State's starting quarterback for the rest of the season, what is our confidence level in the redshirt freshman from California? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, Steele Chambers stepping up at linebacker for OSU, predictions on tomorrow's game at Rutgers and much more.

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

Has Penn State passed Ohio State on recruiting trail? Sep 30, 2021

Show notes

Seen the Class of 2022 team recruiting rankings recently?

(If not ... here ya go.)

There's a B1G team on top - and it's not Ohio State. It's Penn State. The Fighting James Franklins are not only the No. 4-ranked team in the nation, they are building quite a recruiting class. What does this mean for Ohio State? Is this a quantity-over-quality deal right now?

Also ... there's a pretty big matzoh ball hanging out there for Penn State (see: It's 75 and sunny everyday in L.A.).

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to offer perspective before weighing in on Ohio State's trip to New Jersey this weekend.
