Summary

Ohio State football’s home opener is against a middle-of-the-pack FCS school which means it’s probably going to win by 50. The services of its stars, starters and established players won’t be needed for very long for OSU to walk away with a win over Youngstown State. So Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis aren’t going to spend any time talking about those guys. Instead, they’ll be talking about the players behind them who will each be getting extended playing. Maybe those extra snaps lead to something more this season, or maybe it’s just a preview of what is to come. Either way, the Thursday pod is all about the future as the trio drafts the players they’re most interested in watching against the Penguins Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey, hey, where you been? But God talk is about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:31.0

Welcome back to Buck. I talked to you. It means Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis. And we're going to do an interesting exercise today. At least I thought it was interesting.

0:40.0

Ohio State is going to win by 50. That's all this is gazed off of is Ohio State's going to win by 50. So we're not going to talk about a mecca book. We're not going to talk about Marvin Harrison Jr. We're not going to talk about Denzelburg and JT2 in a little while in Jack Sawyer.

0:53.0

We're going to spend this week's big pod talking about the other guys who might be the guys later on down the line. But right now they're just the other guys.

1:04.0

We are going to draft the most interesting people we are intrigued to see on Saturday who are non stars non starters. So we're talking true freshmen. We're talking second team third team guys anybody who is not who does not have an established role on Ohio State. That's who we're talking about in this level of pot.

1:26.0

Nathan's going to draft Andrew's going to draft. I'm going to draft and we're going to involve the textures and this to see what they would they had to say to which we had some interesting answers.

1:34.0

I won't reveal guys until obviously they get drafted of course, but we had 38 different players get a vote which I thought was a lot until you realize if 85 scholarship players post like 40 walk on. It's actually not that crazy.

1:46.0

That there's almost 40 people that got votes who could qualify in this situation. Plus one band vote which by rule technically no one on the band is the starter at Ohio State and you know that might be the most interesting thing people see on Saturday is the band.

2:03.0

So shut up to the best band in the land for getting a vote. Nathan. I am thinking of a number between one in 10. I probably should have done this off the pod, but I'm going to do it here.

2:15.0

One to 10. What is that number? I think it is number five for Garrett Wilson.

2:22.0

Oh, thanks man. That was awesome. That wasn't the number but I'm going to give you it anyway because that was awesome man.

2:31.0

The number I was taking up was eight anyway and you were in the middle. Nathan's going to go first. Andrew's going to go second. I'm going to go third because this is not about being competitive.

2:39.0

So there's now snake involved in this. We're just picking players man. We just want to talk about players. So we're not worried about competing here because you know we don't know who's going to do what who's not going to do what Nathan.

2:50.0

Who are you taking for who is the most intriguing guy for you on Saturday that is a non established player.

2:57.0

So this is where I wanted to quibble about what counts as a non established player. If it's just anybody who isn't starting anybody who isn't a and there's some guys who I thought played a lot of snaps last week.

3:08.0

Even thing weren't starting when I didn't include. So tell me if I'm if I'm wrong on the spirit of what your exercises here.

3:14.0

Devon Brown has to be number one, right? Like that's the only player I really want to see play on Saturday.

3:21.0

If it's just wants to be like Devon Brown in an offensive line and some receivers against Youngstown State for a little while.

3:26.0

Like what else do we need to see? Honestly. I if as far as just like making an evaluation being a little facetious. Obviously there's other guys I want to see and everybody I guess deserves.

3:37.0

There's going to be a lot of guys who this is their moment for this year that they get to play. So in a real way on offensive defense.

3:44.0

But I mean, Devon Brown's who I want to see play some football on Saturday. I want to know what this looks like.

3:49.0

And we got a glimpse of it last week, just the circumstances and listen, everybody who's mad at Ryan Day. Also be mad at a hostage offensive line for the one time that Devon Brown gets in there.
