Summary

Justin Fields was excellent as a first-year starter for Ohio State in 2019. He was a Heisman finalist with a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 41-to-3. What are expectations for him in 2020? What can Fields do even better in year two? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss that, plus: * Who will be Fields' backup this year? CJ Stroud, Jack Miller or Gunnar Hoak? * Which two running backs will step up the most for the Buckeyes this fall? Is it clear it will be Master Teague and Marcus Crowley? Who else will be in the mix? * Ohio State got a huge basketball win over No. 7 Maryland on Sunday. * It was not nearly as good of a day for Cardale Jones in the XFL. In fact, it was a really bad one for the former OSU QB. All of that and more is in store for you on the Monday 5ish.

0:40.4	the show talking to some OSU hoops that day for
0:43.0	Cardale yesterday. I want to start off speaking of
0:45.2	quarterbacks looking at Ohio State's 2020 quarterbacks. I find it very
0:49.2	interesting to see who you think is going to be the backup quarterback to
0:51.7	Justin Fields. But before we get to that, let's start with Justin Fields.
0:54.6	He was so damn good as the sophomore of his past season, the Heisman finalist.
0:58.5	I thought he would be like good at, you know, last year.
1:01.5	I didn't think he's going to be that good I thought it'd be a little bit more
1:03.6	raw than he was I thought there'd be ups and downs there's just a lot of ups
1:07.1	he got hurt towards the end of the year that you know that limited his effectiveness my
1:11.1	question for you is what do you expect at him this year? Like, how much better do you think

1:21.7	A high completion percentage, very few
1:25.1	interceptions. Now he did fumble the ball a few times, but I think he didn't
1:30.5	he double his interception total for the season or something or triple it with two in the game against Clemson?
1:38.0	I mean it was his only multi interception game.
