Summary

Ohio State's season-opener against Notre Dame is just over seven weeks away and we cannot wait. How do the Buckeyes match up with the Fighting Irish? What are ND's strengths and weaknesses? What are expectations for Notre Dame's first-year starting quarterback, Tyler Buchner? Can the Buckeyes slow down what is likely the best tight end in the country, Michael Mayer? What about the Irish's defense?

And what about the Buckeyes themselves? What are some possible concerns we have when studying OSU's roster and projected depth chart? Or is this Buckeye team so loaded that we don't really have any glaring concerns?

Plus, we take questions from listeners and much more. All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle.

0:57.7	July 13th, 2022. I am Dave Biddle. I'm very happy to join by the people's champ, Matt
1:02.4	Baxendell. I tell you what, I mean, it's not never too early to talk about the Notre Dame
1:07.2	game. We're a little over seven weeks away from the season opener. Let's get into it.
1:12.4	Just your general thoughts on this matchup for Ohio Statebacks. I believe Vegas has a
1:15.7	Ohio State right around a two touchdown favorite as of now. What are your thoughts on this
1:19.9	matchup with the fighting iris? That seems right to me. I don't think Notre Dame is
1:25.6	anything this year that's particularly special. Like they should be good. I'm not going
1:30.2	to say they're not good, but I also think Ohio State especially is a defensive stick.
1:34.5	It should be a big favor to us. Notre Dame's not going to have any answers to the Ohio State
1:39.4	off. So the Ohio State defense can get off field with some semblance of frequency, which
1:44.2	I have to hope that they will. Then, you know, I feel like Ohio State should be a pretty
1:48.3	big favor. And while it's a lot to say, they're going to win by multiple touchdowns, you
1:54.1	know, against the name brand like Notre Dame. The reality is, they're probably two touchdowns
2:01.2	that are at least if their defense is anything improved from last season. So that's, there's
