0:00.0	Hey, hey, where you been? But God talk is about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in.
0:30.0	And welcome back to book. I talked to you. It means Nathan Baird and Drew Gillis. We talked with Ryan
0:37.6	Day in Jim Knowles as Ohio State prepares to take on Maryland on Saturday on Fox at noon. Big new
0:44.9	kickoff. I'm sure it's a big new kickoff game, right? If I'm getting that correctly. Not a big
0:51.6	Newsy day on Tuesday, but there was. Yeah, well, no, I don't mean big new kickoff is coming. It just
0:58.3	means game Sunday. But to your point, not a big Newsy day from Ryan Day in Jim Knowles, a little more
1:04.0	tight lift and normal, but there was one big thing of news that was probably the most important thing
1:09.8	that we need to find out, even though it took about seven questions in for anybody to ask about it.
1:14.5	But this is not a dead hope for asking the question. Nathan Ryan Day got asked if Marvin Harrison,
1:21.0	Jr. will be available on Saturday after hurting his ankle against Notre Dame. He did come back

1:59.2	his his usual companion for that. So no reason to think that this is going to be a thing that lingers.
2:05.2	Obviously, we'd ask the question anyway, but recent Ohio State history would also say,
2:12.0	don't take anything for granted there. But Ryan Day obviously last year there was a back and forth
2:17.7	every week of Willie or Roni or Jackson Smith and Jigbo and it sounds very definitive. Things are
2:23.8	where they need to be for Marvin Harris and Jr. So not a not a not the level of injury is going to
