Summary

On this postgame Buckeye Talk from Evanston, Ill., Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means dig into Ohio State's 21-7 win over Northwestern.

I guess the thing that we're trying to do on this entire post game podcast is to figure out what this means for Ohio State.

0:56.0

How much meaning are you taking away from a game where Ohio State was favored by five touchdowns.

1:01.0

On 21 to 7 with, apparently 25 to 30 mile per hour wins, Gus maybe up to 40 miles per hour that clearly affected the game.

1:11.0

Multiple people Ryan Day and mecca of Bukka, I think CJ Stroud are everyone saying they never really had played in a game like this.
