What is better about the Buckeyes than Bank expected? Sep 23, 2019

Show notes

Through the first four games of the season for Ohio State, what is better about the No. 5 Buckeyes than we expected?

Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle to give his thoughts on that, plus:

* Are their any major concerns about this team?

* What are updates to some of the injured Buckeyes?

* Nebraska hasn't looked good, but are the Cornhuskers a dangerous team in Lincoln this Saturday night?

* Michigan looks dreadful in year No. 5 of the Jim Harbaugh era.

* Ohio State offering in-state 2020 running back Miyan Williams.

All of that and more is coming at you on the Monday extravaganza.

Bucknuts Almost Live: Serious national contender? Sep 22, 2019

Show notes

We knew that would be easy. After an early hiccup ... good gracious. Ohio State accomplished more in the second quarter than some teams do all day and coasted to a 76-5, let's meet the entire roster win over visiting Miami (Ohio).

What did we learn about the Buckeyes ... if anything?

How does Ohio State's playoff quest look now that we've had several looks at supposed contenders?

Which recruits were at The Shoe yesterday?

I gave my thoughts before being joined by Bill Kurelic and Matt Baxendell to get serious insight on recruiting and much more.

Spend some of your Sunday morning with us, 'Nutters!

'Want to see the Buckeyes' killer instinct carry on' Sep 20, 2019

Show notes

What is there to look forward to the most during Ohio State's game against visiting Miami University on Saturday?

Getting a chance to see young Buckeyes play?

Well, Jonah Booker is looking forward to that, but mostly he wants to see OSU play with the killer instinct that it has shown thus far.

JBook joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus:

* What is the latest on the injury front with defensive ends Tyreke Smith and Jonathon Cooper?

* How key has it been for Jashon Cornell to step up at DE?

* What are predictions for Michigan-Wisconsin?

* What has been the bigger pleasant surprise for the Buckeyes this season: The play of the linebacker or the offensive line?

All of that and more is coming at you on the Friday extravaganza.

Redshirt referendum | Khakis soaked in Wisky? Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

Ohio State is a heavy favorite this weekend. By heavy we mean the weight of world. We can't remember the Buckeyes readying for such a lopsided matchup in the last decade.

Will that stop us from discussing said impending contest? Of course not!

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to discuss that but we obviously had to load up on some other topics because ... well ... the biggest question Saturday for the Buckeyes will likely be how the youngsters look in their last redshirt referendum gathering.

Among those topics:

* Ohio State's pursuit of Tennessee native Tyler Baron. Could the Vols chaos lead him to choosing Ohio State despite his father's employer (see: UT).

* What a huge game this weekend: Wisconsin vs. The Fighting Khakis. The heat on Jimmy is high right now. A blowout loss for his squad would mean what?

* Henry Gray's rollercoaster Crystal Ball ride.

Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!

'Pollinating the flower' like a Champ Sep 18, 2019

Show notes

It is Wednesday, so it is of course time to "pollinate the flower" on the Bucknuts Morning 5.

(If you have no idea what we're talking about, follow this link to get caught up on the inside joke.)

The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to pollinate about:

* Ohio State head coach Ryan Day's comments about quarterback Justin Fields being "light years ahead" of where he expected.

* Cornerback Damon Arnette being very confident about the Buckeyes this season, going as far as to tell the media he expects OSU will win the national championship.

* Bax's thoughts on redshirt freshman running back Master Teague.

* Bax's expectations for the Michigan at Wisconsin game Saturday.

* Oh yeah, Ohio State also has a game this Saturday. We will talk about that, too.

All of that and more is coming at you on a fully-pollinated version of the Wednesday 5ish.

Best Buckeyes squad since Jerry World? Sep 17, 2019

Show notes

Ohio State is good. Real good. But ... how good?

Playoff contention has been the norm around here for years but this squad has a different flavor. Namely, a much improved defense.

So ... again ... how good?

Duane Long is here to help me put what we've seen so far in perspective. Six teams have emerged from the pack nationally. Where do the Buckeyes fit in?

We break down the improved offensive line and also try and give you something more than a score prediction for this weekend's impending date with supremely overmatched Ohio neighbor Miami.

We also discussed Ohio State's offer to IMG lineman J.C. Latham and why Duane would rather we recruit him at a different position.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

We knew they were very good; Buckeyes far better than that Sep 16, 2019

Show notes

Expectations were high for Ohio State entering the season. Yes, there were some question marks, but the goals among fans were still very lofty.

Well, after three games, expectations for the Buckeyes have shot through the roof.

Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle on today's show to talk about just how impressive OSU has been thus far and what we expect moving forward.

* Which team is the Buckeyes' biggest threat in what is looking like a weaker-than-thought Big Ten?

* Sophomore defensive end Tyreke Smith had to leave the Indiana game and was in street clothes in the second half. That was about the only bad thing for OSU in its 51-10 rout of the Hoosiers.

* This is the best OSU defense since ... ??? We try and answer that difficult question.

* There has been a lot of praise of Ohio State QB Justin Fields -- and rightfully so. But the offensive line and the running backs might not be getting enough publicity for their strong play.

All of that and more is coming at you on the Monday extravaganza.

Bucknuts Almost Live: Hoosier daddies Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

Three games, three wins.

Ohio State hit the road for the first time this season in the Big Ten opener for the Buckeyes and Hoosiers. Talk about a rude house guest.

The Buckeyes pummeled the Hoosiers, 51-10, and the performance matched the score. The improvement of the defense was on full display as the Hoosiers eve needed a trick play to cross the goal line just one time.

What did we think of the Buckeyes and what do we think of the season ahead?

Glad you asked.

Bill Kurelic, Matt Baxendell and Patrick Murphy joined me to breakdown the win in Bloomington and what lies on the horizon for the Buckeyes.

Spend a lot more than finish with us this a .m., 'Nutters!

It's Friday the 13th, time to talk about OSU's scary D Sep 13, 2019

Show notes

It is Friday the 13th, but the only scary thing we're talking about on the 5ish is Ohio State's defense.

And we mean scary from the opponent's point of view, of course.

Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus:

* What else has impressed JBook the most about the Buckeyes through two games?

* The strong play of Shaun Wade and Malik Harrison, among others.

* Did JBook expect Justin Fields to be this far along at this point? What should be expected from Fields going forward?

All of that and more is coming at you on the Friday extravaganza.

Fields vs. Lawrence | Host Hoosiers a real threat? Sep 12, 2019

Show notes

We open today's show with a prediction some may take issue with. But we think all will be interested.

Then we welcome in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to spread knowledge on recruiting, what we've seen so far from the Buckeyes and what we can expect from the team as it travels to face Wiltfong's home-state Indiana Hoosiers this weekend.

Running back recruiting? Of course we got into that. Of. Course.

Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!
