Summary

On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises is putting Ohio State's Week 2 non-conference game against Oregon in historical context. Last week, Buckeye Talk previewed everything about the Ducks, who are scheduled to host the Buckeyes on Sept. 12. Now, it's time to compare this matchup against a presumed top-10 opponent to big non-conference games of the past. Notre Dame in the mid-90s. Texas in 2005 and 2006. USC in 2008 and 2009. Oklahoma in 2016 and 2017. What makes Oregon different from those opponents and what makes Oregon similar? It's just Doug for this one, but he's joined by a lot of great thoughts from text subscribers who offered up their most nervous non-conference moments as OSU fans -- and who explained why they aren't as nervous with Urban Meyer and Ryan Day as they were in the past.

0:48.0	And I have great comments from the tech subscribers, and what we're going to try to do is put this Oregon game in context, okay?
0:54.0	Because there was a lot of strong reactions to the Oregon podcast last week and some people
0:59.4	were saying like, hey, you know, like the James Crepea really made Oregon sound like a difficult task.

1:07.5	I think the Buckeyes are going to kill them.
