Summary

Tate Martell is gone and Buckeye Talk is here to say goodbye. But on this edition of America's favorite Ohio State football podcast, Doug Lesmerises and Stephen Means don't only focus on the guy who's gone, with Martell transferring to Miami. They also took a guess at Ohio State's offensive and defensive players of the year for 2019, looked at what the NFL decisions (to leave and stay) mean for the Buckeyes and their scholarship numbers and tried to examine the schedule and imagine reasonable expectations for the Buckeyes next season. Also, there's an unexpected and very brief cameo from someone you are sure to recognize. It's another Buckeye Talk and as always, thanks for listening. And farewell Tathan.
