The Hello Buckeye fans welcome to another episode of the Bucknuts

happy hour I'm Patrick Murphy here with you today and we're gonna finally get

back to some football. It feels, although it was only one week, like it's been almost a month since the Buckeyes last played. The Lost Oregon has sat and in the back of these players throats and

been on everyone's mind now for just over a week and a half, but the Buckeyes take

the field again on Saturday, afternoon against Nebraska,

and we're going to break all that down. We're going to do things a little bit reverse of the way that we've

typically done it during the season. I'm going to do some talking about the Buckeyes first and then in the second half of the show we will be joined by Brian Christopherson from 247 sports,

Husker 247 website.

So we can talk a little cornhuskers,

a little Dylan Rayola, a little

what the heck happened to Nebraska last week against Indiana, but we'll get to that first let's get to the beer

this is the happy hour after all I am back for the second straight week with the

pumpkin ale with the pumpkin, Imperial Pumpkin Ale.

As I said last week, this is an 8.6% beer.

So last week I took it pretty easy with this one today.

I don't have as much to do after this show,

so I'm gonna enjoy it.

Still when we have one, but we'll see if I drink it as slowly.

Actually, I'm not even sure I finished it last week to be entirely honest with you guys.

But pretty good. Enjoyed it. Still have most of a six pack in the fridge. So it seems like a good late October beer to enjoy so cheers.

All right. Let's get into it.

So I wanted to look at some of the things that we've heard from the Buckeyes over the past week about coming out of the lost organ heading into the second half of the season and kind of gauge my expectations on how this will play out and kind of where things will go from here because as I wrote a week ago this is an opportunity for Ohio State.
