Buckeye takes after 3 weeks | Maryland awaits Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

Ohio State did not get many style points in its win over Rutgers, and now the Buckeyes turn their attention to their game at Maryland this Saturday. Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to give thoughts on how OSU has played through the first three games and to look ahead at the matchup against the Terrapins.

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

Tale of two halves Nov 08, 2020

Show notes

So ... which team is it?

The first half squad that won by 32?

Or the second half crew that lost by 10?

Ohio State improved to 3-0 with a 49-27 win over visiting Rutgers on Saturday night.

But a 32-point halftime lead was trimmed after the break. We brought in two of the best - Bill Kurelic and Matt Baxendell - to make sense of it all.

Young Bucks to get their shot? Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

Will Saturday night's game against visiting Rutgers provide our first close look at some of Ohio State's talented young players who have not seen the field much through the first two games? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, plus:

* How concerned is JBook about the Buckeyes' situation at cornerback?

* Final score predictions for OSU-Rutgers.

* Thoughts on the Big Ten revisting its policy for false-positive tests for COVID-19. Justin Hilliard learned the hard way just how bad the conference's current policy is last Saturday when he was forced to miss the Penn State game.

* Tommy Togiai turning into a beast at defensive tackle for the Buckeyes.

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

For the love of Benji | Gushing over Fields Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

Ohio State added to its Class of 2022 haul yesterday when North Carolina tight end Benji Gosnell announced his commitment to the Buckeyes. What is Ohio State getting? How does fit alongside fellow tight end recruit Bennett Christian?

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to discuss that, why the Class of 2022 could be even more special than others and why Justin Fields is just so $%#@ good.

'He's the guy we're going to have to look to first' Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

With junior cornerback Cameron Brown out for the season with an Achilles injury, who will need to step up most for Ohio State at that position? Is it former 5-star recruit Tyreke Johnson? Is it one of the true freshmen? Could it be someone else?

Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, look ahead to this Saturday night's game against visiting Rutgers, praise the play of OSU's defensive tackles and give thoughts on how the Buckeyes look overall through two games.

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

Replacing Cam Brown | Kudos, concerns at 2-0 Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

Ohio State is 2-0 with its supposed biggest obstacle cleared. But other obstacles remain. What's next after starting cornerback Cam Brown was sidelined? Who steps in? Duane Long is here to discuss that, kudos and concerns after two games, Derrick Davis being a Buckeye (?) and much more. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Mark Porter answers the people Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

He is the newest member of Bucknuts' staff and he is the best in the business at his craft. Mark Porter joins Dave Biddle on today's show to field questions from Bucknuts subscribers and listeners of the podcast. You won't want to miss this version of the Monday 5ish.

Biggest hurdle cleared? Nov 01, 2020

Show notes

Ohio State is 2-0. Word was the trip to Happy Valley topped the regular season's degree of difficulty chart. So much for that. The Buckeyes dispatched Penn State, 38-25, and the score is a tad misleading. It wasn't that close. Spend some quality time with us on a Sunday as Bill Kurelic and Matt Baxendell join to break it all down.

Positive 'crootin vibes | Ohio State-Penn State preview Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

During Ohio State-Penn State week, we did not expect that the Buckeyes' excellent recruiting efforts would be the story of the week, but here we are. That is how much things are trending OSU's way in the 2022 class with some of the nation's elite prospects, such as quarterback Quinn Ewers.

However, make no mistake: Tomorrow night's game in Happy Valley is huge. If the Buckeyes win this one, it could be smooth sailing all the way until Dec. 12 when the rivals from the north come to Columbus. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to talk Buckeyes-Nittany Lions, recruiting and more.

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

Five-Star Flood | Letting Wiltfong cook Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

You never know when a historic recruiting day is coming for Ohio State. The operative word in that sentence being 'when.' Yesterday was one of those days. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong rolled three 5-star Crystal Balls towards Columbus. That qualifies as historic ... because it had never happened ... ever.

Wiltfong provides the latest on the following elite Class of 2022 prospects: Quinn Ewers, Domani Jackson, Caleb Burton, Kiyaunta Goodwin, Caden Curry and Xavier Nwankpa (among others). And that was just before the break! We finish with Class of 2021 updates on Derrick Davis, Tristan Leigh and a Penn State-Ohio State prediction!
