Summary
Beware the Fighting Fickells. That's got to be the motto at the WHAC this week.
One-time Ohio State 'interim' head coach and still great Buckeye Luke Fickell brings his Cincinnati Bearcats to Columbus this weekend. Think Fickell and Co. are geeked for the matchup? Think they've allowed themselves to think what a win over Ohio State would do for their program?
Let's hope the Buckeyes stay away from narratives like that and remain focus on the task at hand: Beating a solid in-state rival on your home turf.
Everybody has thoughts on the matchup ... including today's guest: 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong.
Steve opines on the Cincy-OSU matchup as well as several other compelling Big Ten out-of-conference tussles scheduled for the weekend.
We also get Steve's knowledge on running back recruiting and Ohio State's interest in two Georgia running backs currently committed elsewhere that have popped on the Buckeyes' recruiting radar.
Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
