0:00.0	Hey, hey, where you been? But God talk is about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in.
0:30.0	Welcome back to Buckeye Talk. Stephen means Nathan Baird, Andrew Killis. Ryan Day still
0:38.1	doesn't want to talk about injuries. You got to ask straight up about let's just let me
0:42.2	get my handy list out here. Amecha, Bucke, Traveon, Henderson, Mayan Williams, Chip,
0:48.8	Traynum, Denzelberg. Am I missing anybody? Is that that's the list? That's the the living
0:54.6	list of injuries. He didn't want to talk about any one of those. Right. We didn't
0:59.8	as of right now. That's the list. He didn't want to go down that road with guys. Let's focus on
1:04.0	what he did talk about. We don't know Nathan if Chip, Traynum, Mayan Williams, and Traveon, Henderson
1:08.7	are going to be available on Saturday. We don't know if they're practicing this week. We don't know
1:11.8	how healthy or not healthy they are. But we do know that as of right now, as we are recording this,

1:25.5	said last week that the plan is to red shirt Dalin Hayden. Per the rules, you get four games that
1:30.7	you can play before you have to red shirt. You can't play any more than four. Dalin has played
1:35.8	two games. He played like three snaps against Indiana and then he had a real role against Penn State.
1:40.7	The way Ryan Day was answering a bunch of different questions about Dalin Hayden on Tuesday. One,
1:46.1	what was his impression of the way Dalin Hayden ran the ball in two is and should the plan
1:51.2	still be to red shirt Dalin Hayden? I don't see the merits of the red shirt situation at this point.
1:56.8	And at one point it did. I didn't push back on it immediately when I heard it last week. Only
2:01.2	because in a fully healthy room, somebody has to be number four. If the way to Traynum was running
2:07.5	the ball was good enough, Mayan Williams last year went healthy, ran the ball well. It made sense
2:12.8	to say, well, Dalin Hayden is the fourth guy there. And if he's going to be the fourth guy there,
2:19.2	then why not protect your eligibility? And we have to remember that as we have said, and I have said,
