Saturday postgame pod: Thoughts on Buckeyes' 41-20 win over Tulsa Sep 19, 2021

Show notes

Ohio State defeated Tulsa 41-20, but the concerns on defense continue in full force. Also, what is up with the play of OSU QB CJ Stroud? But there was good news too, such as TreVeyon Henderson introducing himself as a superstar on the collegiate level.

Patrick Murphy and Dave Biddle break it all down for you on our Saturday postgame podcast,

Who will call defense for Buckeyes tomorrow? Sep 17, 2021

Show notes

Who will call the defense for Ohio State Saturday against Tulsa and likely for the remainder of the season? That is the big question that Buckeye fans and media are debating, including on today's show as Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit. JBook gives his thoughts on defensive coaching, defensive personnel, thoughts on the offense, and predictions for the Tulsa game.

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

Red carpet ready for Bowles | 'Unless something drastic changes ...' Sep 16, 2021

Show notes

Help on defense? Yes ... please.

This weekend's opponent does not share marquee status - Tulsa is not the national NIKE darling Oregon is - but Ohio State's top visitor this weekend deserves the marquee to himself. Class of 2023 linebacker Troy Bowles is scheduled to be in Columbus this weekend. He can expect that red carpet treatment, especially given his profile among expected visitors.

The Dean of Ohio State Recruiting, Bill Kurelic, pinch hits for 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong, who is on assignment chasing down a Manning family member.

Kurelic goes in-depth on Bowles, Chris McClellan, Christen Miller, Hero Kanu and Caden Curry before we get into USC's firing of Clay Helton and what Trojan recruits re-kindled Ohio State's flame.

We finish with a quick discussion on QB recruiting. Is Medina's Drew Allar a realistic target for Corey Dennis and Ryan Day?

'On the other side of struggle is greatness' Sep 15, 2021

Show notes

We are happy to welcome back Gee Scott Sr. to today's show. Is Mr. Scott pessimistic about Ohio State's 2021 season following the loss to Oregon? Actually, he is taking a positive approach and believes the Buckeyes will turn things around. Mr. Scott joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, what changes might be in store for OSU's defense and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.

'Something has got to change' | USC feeding frenzy? Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

The sun came up again.

Yes, 'Nutters, we will be OK. Let's get this thing turned around ... and quick.

Will Ohio State need to make serious changes to achieve the lofty goals in front of them? Are there changes that even can be made? Has the defensive ship sailed?

Duane Long is here to break it all down. Coaching changes? Personnel changes? Status quo?

What is it going to take? Duane has several suggestions - including some drastic personnel ideas.

We also get into USC's firing of Clay Helton and what that means for Trojans recruits now back on the market ... or not.

After 2 days of thought, what to make of this Buckeye team? Sep 13, 2021

Show notes

Reactions were plentiful following Ohio State's 35-28 loss to Oregon at the Horseshoe on Saturday. We certainly had lots of opinions of our own. After sleeping on it for a couple nights, do we feel any different? What can be made of the 2021 Buckeyes thus far? Where will they go from here? Is there any chance the defense will improve enough for Ohio State to be a legitimate contender to reach their goals?

Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to discuss some hard truths about this year's squad. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Almost Live: What the Duck? Sep 12, 2021

Show notes

That did not go as expected.

Ohio State welcomed Oregon for a noon start aiming to send a national message. Oh, there was a message sent. But it wasn’t the one we expected.

Oregon exposed Ohio State’s defense en route to a 42-35 win. The Buckeyes offense? Not without issues.

We tried to pick up the pieces as the sun came up - really, it did - with the People’ Champ, Matt Baxendell, and The Dean of Ohio State Recruiting, Bill Kurelic.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m., ‘Nutters.
