Hey Hey, hey, where you been?

Bucket talk is about to begin.

Hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to Buckeye Talk.

Stephen Mee is Nathan Baird, Andrew Gillis.

Ohio State plays Rutgers on Saturday and in the past Nathan this pod, when we've done

the Ruckers pod, is just kind of into a joke, trying to figure out,

okay, they go to score 50 or they go to score 70.

It's just kind of a joke.

I don't think we can make those jokes this time around because Ruckers, at least defensively,

is probably the third best defense in the Big Ten and the top ten

defense nationally. Here's just some numbers to throw at you. Points per game

allowed 15.8 that's fifth in the Big Ten, 13th nationally yards per play 4.34 that's 4th in the big 10 9th nationally

rushing yards per attempt 3.5 7 I believe that 7th in the Big 10 and 36 nationally, but then the passing U.S.

per attempt, 5.2, that's third in the Big Ten and also third nationally.

There's 6 and 2, Nathan, are the Scarlet Knights for real?

Is this more of a trap game than the Wisconsin game was?
