Summary

It's a Cotton Bowl preview for No. 5 Ohio State vs. No. 8 USC, as Tim Bielik, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises dig into the Buckeyes and Trojans, who will meet on Dec. 29 in Arlington, Texas. OSU fans should have real questions about whether Ohio State can handle a USC offense featuring future first-round NFL Draft pick Sam Darnold at quarterback and fellow All-Pac-12 first-team selection Ronald Jones at running back. One of us has real doubts about that. Also, we get into more early signing day issues involving Emory Jones, Alex Williams and Micah Parsons and answer your questions on food and football. Also, there's a Tim Beck alert. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
