Summary

It happened -- Buckeye Talk made it through the entire 12-game Ohio State schedule, previewing each planned opponent from Bowling Green to Michigan. As Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means finish the schedule with this big look at the The Game, the schedule has already changed, with the Big Ten moving to conference games only. So those Bowling Green, Oregon and Buffalo previews in April and May were for games that aren't going to happen. But for now, Ohio State vs. Michigan is still in the plans. On this episode, Michigan beat writer Aaron McMann kicks things off with an hour-long interview with Doug on Jim Harbaugh, defensive coordinator Don Brown, the uncertain Michigan QB battle, where the Wolverines' recruiting stands, how a young offensive line will look and how good the UM skill position players might be. There's a lot of off-field and on-field knowledge on the Wolverines dropped there. Then it's on to an hour of rapid-fire questions from text subscribers, only about Ohio State, Michigan and the rivalry, as Doug, Nathan and Stephen give more on their thoughts on how Michigan might ever make this thing competitive again. It's the opponent that matters the most to Ohio State fans, and the preview is finally here. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.
