The Bill and Doug Show: Ohio State Football Talk

Ohio State's Brian Hartline is calling plays for the Buckeyes for the first time this season. During Ohio State's idle week, he spoke on Tuesday about his relationship with head coach Ryan Day and the thing he loves doing when it comes to keeping defenses off-balance. On this episode, Bill and Doug grade Hartline's first season calling plays up in the box and diagnose the good mood this 3-0 start to the season has him in.

Ohio State's defense is allowing the second-fewest points per game in the country. Could the Buckeyes have the best defense in the country? And beyond that, could the OSU defense be the best unit in college football on either side of the ball? On this episode of The Bill and Doug Show, Doug Lesmerises dives into the numbers in an attempt to answer that question. He also compares the Ohio State defense to another defense that made a coordinator change and is having huge issues so far this season -- Notre Dame. Thanks for joining The Bill and Doug Show, and sorry for the mic issue on this episode. It'll be fixed for next time.

The No. 1-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes beat the Ohio Bobcats in Ohio Stadium on Saturday, as receiver Jeremiah Smith put up huge stats and freshman running back Bo Jackson topped 100 yards and made a serious play to be the lead back for the Buckeyes. Ohio State hit big plays to Smith and Carnell Tate in the passing game, Jackson ripped off a 64-yard run, and after some early red-zone struggles, the Buckeyes pulled away in the second half.
