In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr get you ready for Saturday’s game between Ohio State and Cincinnati. Ryan Day met with the media on Thursday and the fellas went over what was said. They also talk about what Luke Fickell had to say earlier in the week. The topic of how much Ohio State has actually shown to this point is also discussed, as is much more.
