Summary

The Buckeyes beat Maryland 62-14 but lost a starter on the offensive line for the year after right guard Branden Bowen broke his leg. That's the type of injury at a position without much depth that the Buckeyes haven't faced in years. Tim Bielik, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis find a variety of ways to replace Bowen. Then there's quarterback J.T. Barrett, who is looking as confident as ever. At least one of us thinks he's playing like a quarterback you can win a title with. Others aren't so sure.

We are back with another Buckeye Top, Doug Le Maurice, Tim Beeler, Bill Landis.

0:09.0

And before we get rolling guys, I want you to do a little math test. The last four games, Army, UNLV, Rutgers, Maryland,

0:19.1

since the loss to Oklahoma. Can you guess what the total score is of those four games? What's your guess?

0:25.0

I'm going to say 191 to 35.

0:30.0

That's a good guess.

0:32.0

Uh, 100. That's a good guess. A hundred and ninety seven to thirty seven.

0:40.0

Right track. 210 to 42. an average of 53 to 10. So I don't know what else they could have done

0:50.0

in this Nebraska

0:53.0

Nebraska next week.

0:54.0

Nebraska has half a pulse, maybe,

0:57.0

but I don't think this, I don't know.

0:59.0

I don't know that this Nebraska team is better than last year's Nebraska team

1:02.0

and that Nebraska team lost 62 to 3.

1:04.2

They lost their quarterback early in that game when the time of Armstrong went out.

1:08.4

But anyway, let's assess this first and then we'll get nitty gritty on the 6214 win over Maryland.

Tim, when you think about this last month, when Ohio State walked off the field after losing to Oklahoma,

1:19.2

31 to 16, what is your grade for the Ohio State program for how they have handled and improved and whatever they've done?

1:30.0

What's your grade for Ohio State the last four games?

1:32.0

I feel like the last four games I'm going to go with an A-minus and a lot of as predicated on the growth that this offense has been in the last four weeks. I remember admitting after week two I would have considered the quarterback change

1:43.2

J.T. Barrett looks like a completely different guy out there. He looks

1:46.4

unrecognizable from the guy that struggled against Oklahoma. His confidence seems
