The Game week has arrived | Will Buckeyes win the battle in the trenches? Nov 20, 2023

Show notes

After months of anticipation, Ohio State-Michigan week has arrived. On today's show, Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin talk all things Buckeyes vs Wolverines, including whether we think OSU can win the battle in the trenches on both sides of the ball against U-M. We like the matchup of Ohio State's defensive line against Michigan's offensive line. But what about U-M's defensive line against OSU's offensive line?

Also, what can be expected out of Kyle McCord in this showdown? What about J.J. McCarthy, who has not thrown the ball well lately?

How healthy are the Buckeyes heading into The Game?

Who is under more pressure on Saturday: Ohio State or Michigan?

All of that and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish as we kick off The Game week.

Ohio State fell to No. 2 in the latest version of the College Football Playoff rankings, which were released Tuesday night.

Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord had the best game of his young career on Saturday against Michigan State. Is McCord becoming a standout QB right before our eyes, or should we not look too much into a performance against a very bad MSU squad.
