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

I'm back to Buckeye Talk, it's your game preview for Ohio State Wisconsin. I'm Saturday night in the shoe, Douglas Murray, Stephen Means and Nathan Baird.

Don't forget to listen to our betting the Buckeye's preview. That's me and Tyler Shoemaker where we take a gambling look at the Ohio State game

and also make picks from around the country and guys. I am going to make a somewhat declarative statement here off the top because it has been something that I have been talking about both on this show and the college football survivor show all off season.

And I would officially like to say, I think Graham Mertz is 64% good.

All off season, I said, what if Graham Mertz? Well, no, no, no, that's no, that's more like, well, he's talking about the just a balance, the good bad balance.

That is a D. It's a D. It's a low D. It's not even like a flirting with the sea. It's a D. I meant that to sound good.

Here, sure. Yeah, here. Congratulations. 64%. That's not I was thinking of it more in terms of like completion percentages, whatever. So it is one of those things.

It's a baseball player and you're hitting 333. You got a 33% on the test. He is good enough that if he's on, I think he can do some stuff against Ohio State on Saturday night. And I think perhaps Nathan previously in his career against any real team, that wasn't the case.

We have seen, and we don't mean to, you know, whatever David Blow night Stanley, the times when I quarterback steps up, he's more talented than a typical mid tier big 10 quarterback.

And I believe that, but go ahead.

Oh, I, because I've been still going, I'm still working on this a quantum thing. I am running through every single quarterback. I've watched play.

I am a wash in Curtis painter right now. And he's better than Curtis painter.

Like, wow, what a standard. No, but Curtis.

Curtis painter was a backup quarterback in the NFL, like eight years.

Yeah. So it is odd, but Curtis painter, like, I think I might have Curtis painter, he's been swag in my crawl space still.

I legit, I have some weird.

Great recorder.

So anyway, I, I think he, and everybody, you read the stuff around Wisconsin, around Wisconsin right now, footwork, presence in the pocket,

reading defenses, all that kind of stuff where I think the people who cover Wisconsin have said for his career so far, he's had problems with that stuff.

And he's better at it.

And when he's in rhythm and his feet are right, he can, he can zip it.
