The Buckeye Weekly Bold Predictions live show kept rolling with more viewer questions, more wild predictions, and plenty of discussion about Ohio State’s season opener and the season ahead.
In this episode of The Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr debate whether Luke Fahey could be the second quarterback into the game, which Buckeyes they’re most excited to watch, how much Legend Bay might show in his debut, and whether freshmen like Brock Boyd can make an immediate impact.
The guys also get into Ohio State’s offensive line depth, the greatest transfers in Buckeye history, how much the backup offense will actually run, whether Chris Henry Jr. and the tight ends could have big games, and how long Ryan Day might leave the starters on the field against Ball State.
Later, the conversation widens to college football as a whole, including possible dark-horse teams, top-10 teams that could disappoint, Texas, Penn State, Michigan-Oklahoma, and whether Steve Sarkisian is the SEC’s version of James Franklin.
