The Ohio State offensive line has a lot of flexibility and talent but with just about two weeks until the season opener against Texas, the Buckeyes are still trying to sort out their best five to start against the Longhorns. The emergence of Phillip Daniels is one of the primary reasons for that confusion and that's where the latest episode of Snap Judgments on The Austin & Birm Show kicks off.

With a scrimmage in the bank and less than three weeks to go until the season opener, Ohio State is moving closer to nailing down its depth chart. But the competitions across the board are expected to continue through this week, which makes for some interesting discussion about the offensive line for the Buckeyes. On a TalKing Tuesday on The Beat, Adam King and Austin Ward break it down.
