Summary

Well, this episode got away just a bit. Ohio State beat Penn State 38-25 on Saturday in State College and somehow Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means spent an hour and 45 minutes talking about it -- Nathan and Stephen after watching the game in the press box and Doug after watching it from his couch. Why was there so much to discuss? Because there were so many things that OSU fans were concerned about even in victory. There were plenty of questions about the run game, the touchdowns allowed in the second half and the secondary in general. There was praise for Buckeyes like Justin Fields, Jonathon Cooper, Tuf Borland, Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson. This was probably the most interesting game of the regular season, with overmatched opponents ahead for the Buckeyes. So maybe nearly two hours was needed.

on Saturday night, and we have 220 plus questions to get to and I'm going to ask this one first from the 919.

0:50.4

So this was a win but a sloppy win to miss chip shot Sean Wade not looking like an all American can't run the ball

0:56.4

Offensive line and passing game are good. Thank goodness for Justin Fields

0:59.4

So do you guys think this actually looks like a team that can go undefeated this year?

1:03.3

I feel like the week Big Ten this year helps, but I've got my concerns.

1:07.2

Nathan, take that one first.

1:08.8

I do think this is a team looks like it's going to go into 50 this year because I think the big 10 is this week.

1:14.9

And I also think that, I thought this was a big step forward

1:18.9

in a lot of ways from last week.

1:20.8

I think the 3825 score, if someone didn't watch the game might be

1:24.0

deceiving as far as how this defense played. This defense was what set the tone of

1:28.6

this game early in a lot of ways after the big, obviously the big run at the start of the game

1:33.0

that got things started but I really thought the way this defensive line

1:36.0

broke through and played was important. I do I think they're right that you know a lot of the

1:40.9

cornerback play was a problem tonight the secondary play is still an issue and has to get better. But if this is like two games in, if this is what Ohio State's building on, considering the schedule that it has coming up for the next month, I think they're in really good position to keep working on these things in real time in game situations and be a much better team going into the final couple weeks of this season.
