Summary

Ohio State beat Akron 59-7 on Saturday in a game that was most interesting than just another blowout by the Buckeyes of an overmatched MAC team. On this postgame Buckeye Talk podcast, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means address three primary areas: The play of Kyle McCord, who started as C.J. Stroud rested his aching shoulder, and what McCord's night means for the future of the QB position. The pass rush that led to nine sacks of Akron. How much of that showed that the defense could be after three games of not getting after the passer? The blowup on the sideline of linebacker K'Vaughan Pope, who went to the locker room and then tweeted a derogatory message about Ohio State during the game. There are also some quick thoughts on Chris Olave's lack of targets the past two games, and Clemson's loss to North Carolina State. Thanks to listening to another pod episode from cleveland.com.

0:43.0	What was it like? Oh, what what a 59 and nothing run by the book guys to put it the way which means they
0:50.1	were trailing Akron. By the way, T shoe, another vomit emoji night for him.
0:58.7	This was his best bet. He said if it was going to be under 49, Ohio State giving the point
1:03.5	is going to be his best bet. Ohio State wins by 52 because a touchdown pass hit an Akron guy in
1:09.7	the hands in the end zone and the final 20 seconds and he dropped it. So the book guys do cover.
1:15.6	I want to talk about three things guys on this primarily. I think this is I'm trying to do this

1:54.1	before 13 of 18 for 319 crazy padded stats. But stats or stats, two touchdowns, one interception.
2:03.4	We all gave him in the sea range in the post game video. We don't want to repeat that, but I think
2:08.4	we can get right to the point. Nathan, did Kyle McCord and then Jack Miller played like the last
