This week on The Middle Ground, Ohio Divided and Stormin’ Norman are back for a full Ohio rundown. The NBA is heating up, Ohio State basketball opens the season, and Jake Diebler is under pressure to get the Buckeyes back to the dance. The Bengals are a disaster — the defense is broken, and Zac Taylor might not be the whole problem, but he sure isn’t the solution. Over in Cleveland, Dillon Gabriel isn’t the future, Myles Garrett is fed up, and the Browns’ promises are catching up to them. And holding it all together — the Ohio State Buckeyes. It’s not the No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown we expected, but can Ryan Day run it up on Jim Knowles if given the chance? Buckle up — it’s a loaded episode.
