As the Ohio QBs turn | Braxton vs. Cardale redux?

May 25, 2023 14:08 - 36 minutes

On our Tuesday show, we asked whether Ohio State is the real 'QBU'? The Buckeye State must have wanted to have some say because another in-state QB in the Class of 2025 - Bellefontaine's Tavien St. Clair - has earned an Ohio State offer. Is it Ryan Montgomery vs. St. Clair now? Is it a Braxton Miller-Cardale Jones redux? How does Bryce Underwood - the nation's No. 1 '25 QB - fit into the mix.

May 22, 2023 13:23 - 24 minutes

Are the Buckeyes or Wolverines favorites to win Big Ten?

May 05, 2023 13:34 - 22 minutes

If you look at the gambling odds, Ohio State is the slight favorite to win the Big Ten championship in 2023. However, Stuart Mandel from The Athletic has picked Michigan to win the Big Ten title in '23. The Wolverines are coming off two straight conference championships and return a lot of starters -- and they get the Buckeyes in Ann Arbor -- so it's far from an outlandish prediction from Mandel.
