On this Wednesday edition of The Tim May Show, Tim breaks down what West and Christian had to say about Smith’s system, how Ohio State could use its backs and tight ends differently, and what it all means for the nation’s No. 1-ranked team.

West also opens up about his relationship with fellow running back Bo Jackson — and says anyone who thinks they already know what the 1,000-yard freshman star can do might be in for a surprise.
