Summary

On this Thursday Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means check in after talking to Ohio State defensive players and coaches and Georgia offensive players and coaches on Wednesday. The pod starts with an Ohio State injury update from a quick practice viewing, then (5:00) it's on to what happened at Georgia practice. The guys then dive into their interview with Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles (9:05). Then things move on (25:25) to a comparison of Georgia's offense to Michigan's offense. Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett and Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken (33:00) then get an analysis, before a debate ensues (45:40) about what will be a tougher test for Ohio State -- the Georgia offense or Georgia defense? Finally, what was said by Ohio State defenders like Tommy Eichenberg, Lathan Ransom and Jack Sawyer is discussed (49:41). Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.

Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:26.0

Welcome back to your third state book. I talk to flutton.com live in Atlanta, Doug Lamarice,

0:31.7

Nathan Baird, and Stephen Means, all three of us are here and in good shape, covering this game

0:37.7

coming up on Saturday. We're going to talk about the flip of the interviews that we did on Wednesday.

0:43.2

It was Ohio State Defense. That includes Jim Knowles, and Georgia offense. That includes offensive

0:49.4

coordinator Todd Monkin, quarterback Stetson Bennett, get into a couple other things, eyeballs on

0:54.4

practice. Actually, let's start there, Nathan. You guys went to the Ohio State Open Practice

1:01.4

window and you saw some people and you didn't see some people. And Stephen and I, we talked about

1:06.8

this on the last podcast. And now here was another day of like, huh, Nathan, where's that guy? Who

1:12.9

didn't you see? So mine Williams was obviously a top of your conversation. Like you said, when you

1:17.9

guys talked on Tuesday, that was one of the first people that we wanted to get eyes on. Really the

1:23.2

1:38.4

So that obviously raises some eyebrows. If not for the least reason being that it's Wednesday.

1:52.0

To not be able to participate at all in a Wednesday practice is significant. Now, Cody,

1:56.6

you've showed up later in the practice. That's why the only show is three periods. But it's

2:00.4

reasonable to assume based on what we were told Tuesday, what we saw today that if he was there

2:07.1

in some capacity later, it wouldn't have been much. So it was the Dalin Hayden show, Stephen.

2:15.1

That's the second part of this that when my and Williams couldn't come to interviews,

it was Chip Trainham who came. But when my and Williams wasn't at practice Wednesday,
