In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr talk a bit about what was said during interview sessions with Ryan Day on Tuesday. This is the biggest test of the season for the Ohio State defense and the fellas talk a bit about why that is. A discussion of the Ohio State offensive advantages is also part of the show. Then the two go on a tangent about Michigan and the state of Jim Harbaugh. All of this and more.
The Rundown
+ Ohio State’s record at Gameday games is 31-13.
+ That’s a pretty remarkable record.
+ Nebraska is going to pose a problem this week.
+ The Husker offense has speed all over the place.
+ This secondary is going to be tested.
+ Hell, the entire defense is going to be tested.
+ Ohio State might have the three best corners in the Big Ten.
+ The Buckeyes will give up some points.
+ Could this game be won out wide?
+ It’s always going to come down to the trenches.
+ Why didn’t the offensive line grade out as Champions?
+ Seems like a ploy.
+ Illinois was able to run the ball against the Huskers.
+ That should be a concern for Nebraska.
+ Ohio State has a better passing game than Illinois, fwiw.
+ Justin Fields could start running more this week — whatever is necessary to win.
+ You are always playing catch up against Ohio State’s offense this year.
+ The Buckeyes are incredibly balanced this season.
+ How will the defensive line attack Adrian Martinez and his threat to run.
+ Facing Adrian Martinez will be a new experience for this defense.
+ Do we see more Baron Browning this week?
+ Do we see more Brendon White this week?
+ Let’s talk some Michigan and putting players in positions to succeed.
+ This was an unwinnable game for Michigan.
+ They are going to have to fight for eight wins.
+ Illinois on the road won’t be a peach for the Wolverines.
+ Every team they play from here on out — aside from this week at Rutgers — will feel like they can beat Michigan.
+ Momentum is a real thing at home and can beat troubled teams.
+ Our listeners knew Michigan’s defensive troubles were coming.
+ Shea Patterson continues to regress.
+ Who was the last quarterback to progress clearly over his time as a starting quarterback at Michigan? Chad Henne? Denard Robinson maybe?
+ The lack of development from Jim Harbaugh has been a huge disappointment.
+ A data point isn’t a trend.
+ What should Michigan be?
+ If you think they should contend for national titles, that’s not what they are.
+ Jim Harbaugh can’t get them beyond what they’ve always been.
+ What are you paying Jim Harbaugh for?
+ Five years is a pretty good sample size and you know what the program is at that point.
+ Would Jim Harbaugh be okay leaving.
+ He looks miserable.
+ He seems listless and stressed.
+ There’s no way those coaches thought they could win that game.
