The Bill and Doug Show: Ohio State Football Talk

Ohio State coach Ryan Day on Tuesday mentioned the idea that receiver Jeremiah Smith might not get the stats necessary to build a Heisman Trophy case. If that's the case in this day and age, where the best teams are making sure to stay fresh for a a playoff run that could last four games and takes place after the Heisman is handed out, do we all need to get smarter in how we think about the Heisman? Doug Lesmerises tackles that question on this Tuesday Rants show, as well as addressing Pitt finding a freshman quarterback of the week from Toledo, and Bill Belichick continuing to be a disaster at North Carolina.

Should the Ohio State Buckeyes be viewed in the national college football discourse as the prohibitive favorites to win the national championship this season? Doug Lesmerises thinks that if they were an SEC team they would be viewed that way, as Georgia has been in the past. That's one of Doug's rants. Then he checks in on how Michigan native Trinidad Chambliss wound up as the savior of an SEC program. And he discusses Paul Finebaum's claim he's considering a run for Senate. Can we think of somebody better to vote for than a sports talk host? Thanks for joining The Bill and Doug Show.

Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese doesn't lead the country in tackles or sacks, but he's impacting the Buckeyes in a variety of ways all over the field. Does that make him the best linebacker in the country? If we can't really answer that, is he the best linebacker OSU has had in at least the last decade? Bill Landis dives into that and some thoughts on how Reese played against Washington on this episode of The Bill and Doug Show. Thanks for watching.
