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

Back to the post game, Buck, I talk Doug Lamarice in my basement Nathan Baird and Steven Means in to scat away new Jersey Ohio State looked like itself.

Back to boring good, dominating Rutgers, 52, 13, couple of poll questions with the textures.

And the betting line that still I can't wrap my head around, but we'll get to the betting line last. I think we need to start with CJ Stroud, who coming off the resting of his shoulder.

330 yards, five touchdown passes, 17 of 23 Nathan Baird, I asked our tech subscribers this question, and I want both of you guys to give the answer to this.

How do you feel about CJ Stroud after today's game? He's the guy, he played awesome, the buck guys can win with him. I'm optimistic, but I need to see more, or I still think there's another quarterback on the roster who might be a better option this season. Nathan, how would you answer that question?

Boy, that last one, my immediate reaction to it is like, no way, but then I'm always like, well, but quenures, and I know this season this season, this season, yes, yes, yes, yes.

But I doubt it's at last one after what we saw the past two weeks. So I'm going to say it's the middle one because the middle one always wins out and then number one beats out number three.

Steven, what do you think people said? Do you think people said he's the guy or do you think they said they're optimistic, but need to see more, or do they think there's another another better quarterback on the roster for this year?

I'd say he's a guy, but I think they voted I'm optimistic, but I need to see more.

People are feeling it 62% he's the guy. That's what CJ Stroud did on Saturday. I think he made a large swath of the fan base feel like he's the guy and then Ohio State can get where it wants to go with him.

Now, is that an actual championship? I don't know, but can they be a playoff team? Can they be the best team in the big 10?

I think that's what 62% of the people are saying 37% optimistic, 1% think there's a better guy in the roster for this season for this team Nathan Baird.

The way he played Nathan, did he look like a completely different quarterback to you or that would that be going too far to say that or how much different.

Do you think he was and how much would you attribute to the resting of the shoulder?

I don't think I would say a completely different quarterback, but he certainly looked like a better version of himself than we've been able to see so far.

I would say the closest thing to what we saw today was maybe the spring game, like just because I think we didn't get to see him healthy, maybe at any point in those first three games.

I don't know how healthy he was at all in those three games. I think it's something was getting progressively worse, but today just from the beginning, like from from warmups, you didn't see him doing the big win mill.

You didn't see him like grabbing at the shoulder and like and twisting it and all that stuff.

So that right alone told me that something was a little bit different that he just he was feeling better.

And I think if every time you throw the ball, you're not feeling like a pinch of sting a pain and ice pick whatever level it was for him.

Then I think you're just more confident with what you're doing out there. It's just one less like I said earlier this week on the pod is like one less thing that he one more thing he had to overcome in those first three weeks was his own body.
