On today’s show, Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to take a look at some important topics as Ohio State enters Week 2 of its season. Among the items on the agenda:** Kyle McCord will again get the start this week, but the plan is for Devin Brown to play a lot more than he did last week. What do we make of Ryan Day’s comments from Tuesday about his QBs?** Is Chip Trayanum the best running back on this team?** Only one offensive lineman graded out as a champion for the Buckeyes and that was right tackle Josh Fryar. How concerned are we about this O-line long-term?** Does Josh Proctor hold on to a starting safety spot long-term? Might Malik Hartford surpass him? What about Ja'Had Carter? What’s the latest with him?All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Ohio State's defense was suffocating, but the Buckeyes' offense sputtered. However, the bottom line was that Ohio State emerged with a 23-3 win over Indiana in the 2023 opener in Bloomington.

After months of anticipation, Kyle McCord was named Ohio State's starting quarterback for the season opener against Indiana. Head coach Ryan Day made the announcement Tuesday and added that Devin Brown will also see meaningful action against the Hoosiers.What does this mean long-term for the Buckeyes? Is it likely that McCord holds on to the job all season? Or is it more likely that Brown will usurp him at some point? Or if the battle stays close and Day elects to say with a two-QB system -- which we do not think will happen -- could that actually work?Switching gears, now that the QB decision is behind us -- for now -- how about the fact that game day is merely three days away for the Buckeyes? What do we expect to see from this team in Bloomington? Is the hype about OSU's defense real? Or might we not really know until at least the Notre Dame game?Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to tackle those topics and more. All of that is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss all things Ohio State football, including:* What is something from OSU's preseason practices that perhaps is not being talked about enough?* You know we can't do a show without talking about the Buckeyes' quarterbacks.

Do we expect the competition to bleed a couple games into the season?* Is there a chance Carnell Tate could eventually work his way to being a starter this season?* What other true freshmen can help the Buckeyes right away in 2023?* What is JBook's gut feeling about Brandon Baker?

Is today the day? The day that Ryan Day will name Ohio State's starting quarterback? The Buckeyes' head coach will meet with the media at 11:30 a.m. today, just 12 days before OSU's season-opener at Indiana. And if he does name the starting QB, will it be Kyle McCord or Devin Brown? Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss that burning topic, plus:* Regardless of how the competition turns out and regardless of who wins it, are we surprised the battle is/was this close?* What is the latest on coveted 2024 recruits Brandon Baker and Eddrick Houston?* The Buckeyes named just three captains for this season: Tommy Eichenberg, Xavier Johnson and Cade Stover. We like the less-is-more philosophy here.All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Is Ryan Day on the verge of naming his starting quarterback? The Buckeyes have their final scrimmage of camp on Saturday and it would not surprise us if Day named a starter when he meets with the media on Tuesday. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to give his prediction on what will happen at the QB spot for the Buckeyes, plus:** Are Larry Johnson and Jim Knowles not on the same page? Johnson was a bit defensive when meeting with reporters yesterday when asked about the "Jack" position and about using less of a rotation up front. Or perhaps there is nothing to it.** Junior defensive tackle Tywone Malone -- a transfer from Ole Miss -- is having a strong camp for OSU and has solidified a spot on the two-deep.** Speaking of transfers, if Josh Simmons -- who started at right tackle for San Diego State last year -- can lock down the starting left tackle job for the Buckeyes and play well, that would be massive for this offensive line.All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

The most first-round NFL Draft picks from one school in given year is six; Miami in 200x and Georgia in xxx.Could your Buckeyes equal or top that feat in '24?It's quite possible and we have NFL Draft Expert Dane Brugler from The Athletic to talk all about it.We dive deep on the following Buckeyes: Marvin Harrison, Jr., Emeka Egbuka, J.T. Tuiomolao, Donovan Jackson, Jack Sawyer, Michael Hall, Tyler Williams, Denzel Burke, Tommy Eichenberg, Steele Chambers, TreVeyon Henderson, Cade Stover and Lathan Ransom.You won't find a more comprehensive Buckeyes NFL Draft report anywhere else.Enjoy.

The pieces appear to be coming together for Ohio State's offensive line. How will those pieces perform when the season arrives in just 17 days? The media interviewed several of the Buckeyes' O-linemen, plus OL coach Justin Frye after yesterday's practice and the group has an air of quiet confidence.Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to talk all things about OSU's offensive line, the close battle at quarterback between Kyle McCord and Devin Brown, plus more thoughts from preseason practices thus far.All of that is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
