Summary

Paraphrasing the late Dennis Green, the 2021 Ohio State Buckeyes are who we thought they'd be. Now, it took half the regular season to get there, but there is no doubt Ryan Day's squad has rounded into form.

Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss the 66-17 rout of Maryland and what can be expected from the Buckeyes moving forward this year.

How great is this Ohio State offense and quarterback C.J. Stroud?

What is standing out about the Buckeyes' defense?

Also, what is the toughest remaining game on OSU's schedule? Dare we say it's The Game? Or might it be Penn State or someone else?

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

0:00.0	Good morning, Buck Nudders.
0:29.3	Welcome to the Buck Nuts Morning 5 here on Monday, October 11th, 2021.
0:33.8	I am Dave Biddle.
0:34.6	I am joined by Steve Hellwagon.
0:36.8	Steve, midway through the regular season, the buck guys now look like who we thought they

0:55.2	Well, I thought coming in at Maryland with Talia, talk of ILOA, I thought they would bounce

1:05.8	out with a good drive.
1:06.8	They moved it down and got a feel goal at the beginning and you thought, well, maybe they'll
1:10.6	make some plays or whatever, but Ohio State was just dominant.
1:16.3	A second week in a row, at least against the quality opponent, really third week in a
1:21.1	row overall, because you count acting as well, although less their opponent, but second
1:26.3	big 10 game in a row against I think a respectable opponent that they just dominated the action
1:32.7	on both sides of the football and I think the first thing that you look at is CJ Stroud
1:39.9	is, I mean, he is making throws that very few quarterbacks in the country can make and
1:49.6	there were several of them.
1:52.2	The fourth down, touchdown to Garrett Wilson, he just, it was like, we're coming right at
1:58.5	your head, but be ready and the guy, you know, just caught the defender off guard and zipped
2:03.9	it in there for the touchdown.
