Summary

We went LIVE again to wrap up the best and worst of Ohio State football in 2020. And as always we turned to our Buckeye Talk subscribers to help us put the season in perspective. We gave our texters a series of questions to gauge their analysis of the Buckeyes. Who were the offensive and defensive MVPs? Who deserved more snaps than they received? Who were we most wrong about and most correct about compared to our preseason expectations. Who is best poised for a 2021 breakthrough, and which 2020 senior do you most wish could stay with the Buckeyes. One of those answers came Saturday morning, when Thayer Munford announced he will return. So we open with a discussion of what that means for the Buckeyes and, in particular, Paris Johnson Jr. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a special Saturday Buckeye Talk. We are in a Zoom with our

tech subscribers and we are wrapping up, not the Ohio State National Championship game because we kind of

covered that, but the season. We got it, we got to talk about this season and everything that happened during this year, this wild year that nobody will forget.

0:48.0

We know from corresponding with some textures that people to some degree are maybe ready to move past the Alabama game because I think we kind of have an idea of what happened there.

0:55.8

People are looking forward to next year a lot of interesting questions about this team.

0:58.8

We have NFL decisions that players are making right now. We'll lead off with some of that and then Nathan

Baird has come up with a bunch of categories to kind of help us go through this

season what surprised us what didn't surprise us what all meant, we'll have some fun doing that.

Thayer Munford coming back, announcing that here on Saturday.

1:40.8

And I think when we, when the word came out that the NCAA was basically saying this this year does not count against your eligibility at all and we had a discussion about well how much is that really going to matter how many players are really going to come back for this

bonus fifth year if they're good players, right? If you're going to really put off

1:58.2

the NFL for a fifth year, Nathan, the idea that Fayy or Munford is coming back, I don't know everybody who has said that or not. I think it's very possible that Thayer-Munford might end up being the best player in the country that takes advantage of this. That he is a full four-year guy, never redshirted, three-year starter, played really well this year,

2:19.7

really well this year. And he's coming back again. This is huge for Ohio State. It fits right in this window of if this wasn't a pandemic year. This would not be an option for him.

2:30.0
