The season goes on! That's right, Ohio State will complete the remainder of the schedule regardless of the emotional loss in Texas.

We like to say around these parts that coaching matters more in football than any other sport. (And it matters a lot in every sport.) Today's show with Dave Biddle and Patrick Murphy takes a close look at Ohio State's coaching staff, including first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, second-year DC Matt Patricia and eighth-year head coach Ryan Day. Patrick thinks Day is getting too much flak after the Texas lossand explains why. Dave thinks a lot of the criticism is fair, but also believes Day can right the ship.

That and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
