Summary

There is much to discuss on today's show as Dave Biddle flies solo. Sophomore defensive tackle Eddrick Houston returning to the starting lineup against Purdue on Saturday and played well. It was Houston's first start since the second game of the season. This appears to be a good sign for the nation's best defense. Also, will Carnell Tate be able to play this week against visiting UCLA? Furthermore, Ohio State has been cleaning up on the recruiting front since last Thursday, with a high 4-star defensive tackle being the latest to join the Buckeyes' 2026 class. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.
