On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love.

On today's episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with college football reporter, columnist, and sideline reporter, The Athletic and Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman. As part of the "Big Noon Kickoff" crew, Feldman has seen the Buckeyes in person three times this season, including in Happy Valley against Penn State. In his conversation with Matt, he said that he believes Ohio State's win against the Nittany Lions was a major gut-check moment for the team and it will give them confidence heading into the home stretch of the regular season.

Matt and Bruce also discuss the freshman season of Jeremiah Smith, Will Howard's fit with the team, the forthcoming Indiana matchup, and whether or not Bruce is sticking to his prediction of Ohio State winning the national title.
