Show Notes
It's the final week of spring practice at Ohio State, and there's still plenty happening at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
After talking to Ohio State's offensive linemen and defensive linemen last week and then watching another spring practice on Monday, we have new takeaways on how the quarterback competition is going, how things might stack up at wide receiver, why there's a real competition happening on the interior offensive line and why Ohio State should have lots of options on the defensive line. And we're looking forward to learning more about the Buckeyes when we watch them play their spring game in Ohio Stadium on Saturday at noon (Big Ten Network).
A rundown of some of what we talked about on this week's show:
- 6:00: Why Kyle McCord can't be counted out in the quarterback competition
- 9:24: Why Julian Fleming isn't a lock to make the two-deep at wide receiver – and why that says more about Ohio State's receiver depth than Fleming
- 21:14: How Luke Wypler and Josh Fryar are making a real push for starting jobs on the interior offensive line
- 31:00: What we're expecting from Taron Vincent this season
- 48:20: Why Colin is most excited to watch TreVeyon Henderson on Saturday
- 54:45: Who we'd each pick first in a spring game draft
- 1:05:40: Why the move to a 4-2-5 defense wouldn't be an overreaction
