Ep. 126: Could Tate Martell really win Ohio State's quarterback job? 04.04.2018

We're two-thirds of the way through spring football and no one has emerged as the clear frontrunner to be Ohio State's starting quarterback, at least not the way Urban Meyer has talked about things this spring. Every day that's true, the possibility grows ever so slightly that redshirt freshman Tate Martell could actually quarterback the Buckeyes in the fall. We've talked about the QB competition...

Ep. 125: What if no one wins Ohio State's starting quarterback job? 28.03.2018

Six practices into Ohio State spring football, Urban Meyer wasn't happy with where the Buckeyes were - and that included the quarterback competition.

We do th...

Ep. 123: Urban Meyer's loyalty; comparing recruiting to restaurants 13.03.2018

Basketball podcast: Are the Buckeyes bound for Boise in NCAA Tournament, unless they beat Purdue? 05.02.2018

Dre'Mont Jones, Mike Weber, Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, Johnnie Dixon and K.J. Hill all stayed at Ohio State for the 2018 season, leaving only Denzel Ward, Sam Hubbard and Jerome Baker as the Buckeyes who declared early for the NFL Draft.
