Summary
We take questions from Bucknuts subscribers and more on today's show as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle. We begin with a question that opines the Buckeyes have a lack of quality depth on their football roster. Are the Buckeyes focused enough on managing injuries and developing depth? Or are they "stat hunting" with some of their standout players? Specifically, the subscriber who posed the question brought up guys like middle linebacker Tommy Eichenberg who often played deep into blowouts, as well as running back Miyan Williams. He further makes the statement that Alabama and Georgia can afford some injuries, but due to OSU's lack of depth in his opinion, the Buckeyes cannot afford it. Do we agree with his opinion?
The other main questions we tackle deal with NIL. Here are the questions, verbatim: "NIL is not supposed to be pay for play but it seems like it's happening all across the CFB landscape. Is OSU's stance on not being providing deals for HS kids something at the state level or an OSU policy or a policy of the football program itself? Do you see OSU trying to get more aggressive than we have been? And are you in favor of us playing the pay for play game or would you rather we continue as we have been and only reward students once they are committed and enrolled?"
Those are just some of the topics we cover as we shovel our way through the Wednesday 5ish.
