Summary

A whole lot is changing with Ohio State football, including, maybe, the way the Buckeyes compete for a championship. This Buckeye Talk episode is chock full of Ohio State info as Stephen Means and Doug Lesmerises join you from the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, where on Wednesday they spoke with about 15 OSU players in the final interview session in Columbus before the Buckeyes head for California and the Rose Bowl after Christmas. Doug is back from sounding like he was dead on last week’s podcast, having staved off influenza, and he and Stephen go into everything going on with the program, from what’s next for Ryan Day to what’s ahead on National Signing Day on Dec. 19 to the quarterback battle next season. They did not discuss anything about Washington, the Rose Bowl opponent, because no one cares about that yet. They did talk about how soon an eight-team playoff could arrive in college football. There’s a lot going on and they’re here to share it with you on this Buckeye Talk, with 90 percent less coughing. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
