Summary

No. 10 Ohio State isn't much of a favorite (just 3.5 points) at No. 18 Michigan State on Saturday, and the Buckeyes are looking like they'll be underdogs when they host No. 4 Michigan to end the regular season. Kind of a weird spot for Ohio State at the moment. At 8-1 and 5-1 in the Big Ten, are the Buckeyes about to play their best game of the year, or will they continue to be stuck and searching, at least in a few areas? On this episode of Buckeye Talk, new cleveland.com OSU writer Stephen Means joins Doug Lesmerises for his first full midweek podcast, after debuting in the postgame podcast following the Buckeyes 36-31 win over Nebraska. You had a lot of questions for Stephen about his food preferences, and we got to those. But first, we looked at the Buckeyes from a positive angle, as requested and suggested by one listener who found the postgame pod a little too negative. This isn't a perfect team, but for at least the first part of this episode, we looked at what is working for the Buckeyes and how it might continue.
