Hey, hey, where you've been,

Buckeye talk is about to begin.

Hey, hey, hey, come on in. Ben, Buckeye Talk is about to begin.

Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

And we're live.

Welcome back to another episode of Buckeye Talk live after Ohio State's 38 to 14, went over Penn State to improve to 8 and 0.

And that was that, 5 and 0 in Big 10 play now for a team who has its first offering as a

college football playoff resume is now complete after this game.

Those first rankings come out on Tuesday.

And we'll get into some of that talk today.

We'll get into some Michigan conversations talk today. We'll get into

some Michigan conversations. But I wanted to start with this, Stefan. I just, I don't know,

overall thoughts. 38 to 14. Did it go the way you thought it was going to go? Or some things that

were maybe you weren't expecting. Just what do you think? I thought all around, this was probably,

at least offensively

Ohio State's best game. It felt like every facet of the offense was clicking, was explosive.

I'm obviously pointing more toward the running game and kind of the explosiveness we saw there.

You know, defensively, I think maybe Penn State was the first team this season to kind of poke

at some things, at least in terms of, you know, Ohio State's rush defense. I thought Penn State, you know, did a pretty good job offensively with its game plan. I just think didn't really have the personnel to, you know, kind of pop an explosive play in the passing attack to maybe build off of what they were able to do in the rushing game. But I think that's also, you know, maybe nitpicking to an extent because I think that's Ohio State defense is fine. And the way they played in the second half, you know, reminded us just how good they are. So it was for how close the game was at halftime, definitely closer than I think most of us expected. Maybe Gillis being the outlier, because I know he kind of picked this game to be closer than Stephen and I did. But I thought at half time, it was maybe closer than we thought. But as I was driving home from the same, I was kind of thinking back, and I'm telling myself, it's closer than we thought, but there was also a mistake that you couldn't have predicted, right? Ohio State turning it over, you know, that close to its own end zone, you know, is not something necessarily predicts. So you kind of take out

a poor sequence there from Ohio State, and it's about as dominant as, you know, most people

I predict this game to go. So I was really impressed. This, we've come on, Buckeye Talk, you know,

immediately post game quite a few times and maybe nitpicked a bit what Ohio State has done. And,
