The Buckeye Weekly Podcast

Through three games, CJ Stroud has been largely impressive as Ohio State's starting quarterback. However, he has also looked uncomfortable on the field at times and admitted that he's having pain in his throwing shoulder.

With the Buckeyes projected as a massive favorite over Akron this weekend, should Ryan Day give his starter the week off to rest and heal up before the start of Big Ten conference play?

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr of BuckeyeScoop.com discuss the pros and cons of resting Stroud and replacing him with freshman phenom Kyle McCord.

Plus, the Field Turf inside Ohio Stadium has become a big story this fall as players are slipping more than usual. How are the Buckeyes planning to address that, and when will new turf go in?

Finally, a look at the defensive line, which has struggled at times to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. What does Larry Johnson think is wrong?

Michael Citro and Chip Minnich analyze Ohio State's 41-20 win over Tulsa, discuss the continued problems with the OSU defense, run through the other Big Ten results from the weekend and prepare for the Akron Zips' visit to Ohio Stadium.

The Michigan Wolverines put a 63-10 beatdown on Northern Illinois this past weekend and looked good doing it.

But are they looking good enough to challenge the Buckeyes in the Big Ten?

Buckeye Scoop's Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss the Michigan game and dissect how what they saw on Saturday will apply to the Buckeyes in November.

Based on the results of this weekend and past weeks, it is looking like we are in store for one of the crazier college football seasons ever.

Don't believe it, just look at the games and the oddities from this past weekend and the oddities to come.

Buckeye Scoop's Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss those matters and all of this weekend's biggest results (and some of the smallest results).

They cover it all in this weekend recap edition of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast.

Buckeye Scoop's Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr give their instant reactions following Ohio State's 41-20 win over Tulsa. They also answer viewer questions about the game and where things stand right now for the Buckeyes.

Ohio State Football is just a little more than 24 hours away from its third game of the season but at this point nobody is ready to move on to Tulsa and the focus remains on the loss to Oregon and the problems that have emerged through the first two games of the season. Can this team salvage things on the defensive side of the ball and are things not as rosy as they look on offense despite a lot of yards gained?

We bring in a longtime friend with Josh of College Football Nerds to talk about some of the numbers behind the Ohio State Buckeyes through just eight quarters of football. Can you repair the engines of a plane that is already at 35,000-feet? What changes need to be made and will the Buckeyes be the last team standing in the Big Ten?

All of that and more in the Big Me Kickoff. Check it out.

There are some massive games happening all across the midwest and the rest of the nation this weekend.

One of the biggest is the annual Whiteout game at Penn State where the Nittany Lions will welcome in Auburn. That's a game you could hear a lot about this fall... depending on how it goes.

Buckeye Scoop's Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr preview that and some of the other big games this weekend.

- Will Luke Fickell and Cincinnati move one step closer to an improbable College Football Playoff berth?
- Will Notre Dame have to survive a third-straight scare?
- Can Emory Jones keep Florida close with Alabama?
- Will Michigan State pull an upset against Miami?
- Is Nebraska going to wish they really did cancel this weekend's game against Oklahoma?
