Hey, hey, where you been? But God talk is about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to our Monday Buckeye Talk. Steve and me is Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis joining us on this Monday talk because the game is that big.

We need all three of us to be able to talk about it. We are going to do a rewatch on Monday and Tuesday's pod. We're going to split it up because I think there's just a lot to talk about on both sides.

Plus we have two weeks until they play another football game. So why not break it up? We're going to do offense on Monday or how state beating Notre Dame 17 to 14 at Notre Dame in a top 10 matchup.

First big win of the season, first big game of the season, first big game for Kyle McCord and his career.

Let's say Kyle McCord for the second part of this because I think there's just other offensive things to talk about.

I think we spent a lot of time on Kyle McCord on the post game pod. Andrew, can we just start with the offensive line?

I don't know who played well amongst this offensive line in this game. Is that fair to say?

Yeah. It's so funny looking back at this because there are some things you watch for a game. You're up in the press box and you're watching a bunch of different things.

I know for all of us when Marv went down, I don't think I watched anything other than how Marv was getting off the line for a few plays.

There are just certain things that you miss. But I left Notre Dame Stadium and thought, man, that offensive line don't think they played that well.

And I don't think they played that well on Saturday either. And I know they won the game. So I don't want to sound like I'm being overly negative or overly critical.

There were just some moments with the offensive line where I mentioned this on the post game pod. They just didn't get a push that the sequence of events down at the this was the series where Ohio State didn't score where they rolled McCord out on that fourth down and he threw in complete.

They just didn't get a put like on that third down play. They just did not get a push. You know, they just couldn't get moving in the run game.

You know, I understand it sounds hilarious. But if you take out that trivia on run consistently, they didn't really do very much on the ground.

There were a couple of moments, you know, Josh Simmons, there was a play on that last drive when McCord threw down the left sideline and Josh Simmons just didn't didn't see it.

He just didn't see the guy coming off the edge and he should have picked him up. And that could have been a disaster for Ohio State.

There are a lot of things to fix with the offensive line. Some of them I don't know if they're fixable at this point because we are now a couple of games into this.

And we were like, Oh, well, it's Indiana. They're going to get better. You know, it's it's Western Kentucky. They're going to get better.

You know, they're going to play some some real defenses here moving forward. How does this offensive line evolve?

And I looked at that fourth down play call again, the one where they ran the jet to a mecca.

I understand like, look, if you want to say they should have thrown the ball, that's fine.
