There is no Ohio State press conference scheduled at this point of the week, but that won’t stop Television’s Adam King from diving into questions for the program — or ranting about another awards snub for the Buckeyes. With Matt Patricia on the brink of finalizing a return for a second season as the defensive coordinator, he was passed over as the Broyles Award winner for his work in Year One. TalKing Tuesday on The Beat had plenty of thoughts about that and more with Austin Ward.

The winter workout phase for Ohio State isn’t just about physical transformations. The Buckeyes are also finding out who can provide the kind of leadership needed to get them back on top of the College Football Playoff, and that requires handling adversity in situations like Mat Drills well before stepping back on the field. Former Ohio State captain Zach Boren details that process and its importance in the latest Boren Blitz on The Beat.

We've made it through another off-season week with The Austin & Birm Show and the Freaky Friday mailbag edition is back to celebrate.

This week the guys answer viewer questions about a number of Buckeyes-related topics, including how Ohio State could attack a hypothetical change at defensive coordinator.

To be clear, we don't believe that will be necessary but it's a good exercise nonetheless!

Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia made a public appearance on Monday in full-team gear from the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, the first public clue about his future in weeks as his name has been tied to NFL openings. That might not necessarily be concrete information about his decision, but it was enough for Television’s Adam King to make a bold prediction amongst his other questions for the Buckeyes on TalKing Tuesday on The Beat.
