Back to your Friday game preview on Buckeye Talkers, Doug Lameray,

0:29.9

Nathan Baird, and Stephen Means, we're talking Ohio State Toledo 7pm on Fox in Ohio Stadium.

0:36.4

Just to be clear on this, I think I've said some weird stuff this week. This is the first

0:41.6

national network game for Toledo in its history. As Nathan pointed out, I think a couple of

0:46.4

pods ago, they've been on ESPN and ESPN two a bunch of times, but Toledo has never been on NBC,

0:52.5

on Fox, on ABC, on CBS. I guess even last year, I think the Notre Dame game, which should have been

Cameron Bab in there today, getting that receiver core back and healthy. Obviously, as well as

1:49.8

things that probably doesn't matter as far as winning this game. But from his comments earlier

in a week, it's obvious that he feels like getting that group back together could be an important

2:00.8

step for sort of getting the offense on track the way they want it to be on track and just sort
