Summary
We are still basking in the glow of Ohio State's opening win and really just the return of meaningful football. Sure, it was the opener against an overmatched opponent paid to come get its tail kicked, that will not stop us from making sweeping judgements off a limited sample size.
It's what we do!
Duane Long is here in his usual Tuesday spot to offer up his impressions of the debut weekend:
* Justin Fields and his amazing start ... yet lackluster finish. What gives?
* How did the linebackers look after an offseason of consternation?
* The offensive line showed signs of being dominant. How strong were the signs?
* Is J.K. Dobbins going to be able to carry the load? Who can help him?
* What type of challenge does Cincinnati present this weekend?
Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

| 1:01.1 | There's only one place to start. Justin Fields, very interesting debut. |
| 1:05.6 | He was fantastic from the very start. Kind of petered out a little bit. The question is whether that |
