Summary
It is going to be a fun day on the Ohio State football beat as the media will interview freshly-minted Ohio State linebackers coach James Laurinaitis, as well as new safeties coach Matt Guerrieri this afternoon. Today's show will focus mostly on the Buckeyes' 2024 linebacking corps, specifically whether this group is good enough to get the Buckeyes where they want to go. Who will be the two starters? Who will be the top backups? Is Sonny Styles definitely going to move down to LB, or might he stay at safety? Or might he play several different positions?
Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to discuss all of that, take a look at Ohio State's 2024 safeties and more.
All of that is coming your way on the Tuesday 5ish.
