The Sons of Schmidt: Episode 4

The pads are on and there is contact! That means that Ohio State Buckeyes are over a week into answering the lingering questions for the 2017 season. And The Sons of Schmidt has episode 4 of their 2nd season here to help address and answer questions about this year’s team.

You simply can not talk about the 2017 Buckeyes without talking about the splash and impact this year’s true freshmen are having in camp. It seems like J.K. Dobbins has been the topic of discussion everywhere, and we start this week off looking at his performance so far, along with some of the other big name freshmen, like Chase Young. Brandon and Mike get right to it…is it time to buy into the J.K. Dobbins hype?

In the second segment of the show, the SoS guys review some of the headlines and sound bites we have gotten thanks to our wonderful editor, Tony Gerdeman, and from the Big Ten Network’s Bus Tour stop in Columbus. We’ve all heard it, was Greg Schiano telling the truth about this being the best defensive line he’s ever coached? What about the players that are being noticed by their teammates? Who is having a great camp so far?

In a surprise look ahead, segment three addresses the report this week that Ohio State could have a mass exodus of underclassmen after 2017. There was one report that as many as 12 underclassmen could be leaving, and Brandon gives you the lowdown on if that is a real possibility.

Then Mike and Brandon wrap up the show answering a couple questions from the listeners of the show, where they talk about the trap that could be opening with Indiana, any lingering effects from the dreadful performance in last season’s Fiesta Bowl, and where does Urban Meyer end his career on the list of All-Time Greatest Coaches.
