OHIO STATE BUCKEYES dominate PENN STATE with elite quarterback play and suffocating defense. Can this performance propel them to a College Football Playoff championship?

Jay Stephens and guest Mo Murphy break down the BUCKEYES' commanding victory, analyzing the quarterback's 20-of-23, 316-yard, four-touchdown performance that strengthens his Heisman Trophy campaign. The discussion examines linebacker ARVELL REESE's emergence as a potential top-10 NFL Draft pick, the defense's second-half shutout allowing just 60 yards, and JEREMIAH SMITH and CARNELL TATE's impact on opposing game plans. Stephens and Murphy debate whether OHIO STATE's rushing attack is sufficient for November football and the College Football Playoff, considering upcoming challenges including the MICHIGAN game.

Key topics include CALEB DOWNS' clutch interception, quarterback mobility comparisons to JOE BURROW, and whether RYAN DAY should prioritize the passing game over establishing the run. Murphy offers insider perspectives on defensive adjustments and championship-level football requirements.

Tune in for expert analysis of OHIO STATE BUCKEYES football and their path to playoff success.
