Buckeye Weekly Podcast: Analyzing Illinois' Win Over USC and Implications for Ohio StateIn this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, hosts Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss what they learned from Illinois' 34-32 win over USC two weeks ago. They delve into key takeaways and strategic insights ahead of the upcoming Illinois vs. Ohio State game. Topics include Illinois' defensive and offensive performances, individual player highlights, and key matchups to watch out for this Saturday between the Illini and the Buckeyes.00:00 Introduction and Greetings01:02 Recap of Illinois vs. USC Game04:57 Ohio State's Offensive Opportunities05:29 Concerns About Ohio State's Running Game08:17 Illinois' Defensive Struggles10:01 Luke Altmyer's Performance and Potential16:29 Illinois' Offensive Strategy20:25 Special Teams and Final Thoughts23:45 Closing Remarks and Call to Action

Minnesota came out swinging, but once Ohio State's defense locked things down in the red zone, the rest of Saturday night belonged to the Buckeyes. The defense was stifling; Carnell Tate and Julian Sayin went off; and Jeremiah Smith, Max Klare, and Bo Jackson all had solid games. Ryan Day was also able to get plenty of depth players a few snaps in the fourth quarter. We look back at the big plays, moments, and players from Ohio State's 42-3 win over the Golden Gophers, check on our picks to click to see how they performed, and review our game predictions from last week to see how close we were. (We were pretty close!)After our Ohio State-Minnesota rewind, we looked around the rest of the Big Ten to see how other teams made out in Week 6. Penn State had a bad weekend and Washington nearly did as well, having to come a long way back in the fourth quarter to win at Maryland. Illinois won big, Wisconsin put up a fight for a while but simply couldn't score points in Ann Arbor. Michigan State couldn't get stops in Lincoln, and the Spartans had a Sparty No! moment. We also looked ahead to the matchups this weekend, and aside from Ohio State's trip to Champaign, we'll be keeping an eye on Oregon-Indiana.Finally, we previewed the Illibuck game coming up Saturday at noon. The Fighting Illini are a formidable opponent, especially at home, and they have an offense that can test Matt Patricia's defense. We gave you the Illini players to watch and discussed the matchup. We also selected our picks to click for the Buckeyes at Illinois and made our predictions for what the final score will be after a hard-fought game at Memorial Stadium this weekend.We would love to hear from you, so please send us an email⁠ at silverbulletspod@gmail.com.

The Buckeyes cruised.24:34 - UCLA stunned Penn State with an offensive explosion against Jim Knowles' defense. Michigan, Illinois, Washington, Nebraska, and Northwestern (the latter in non-conference play) joined the Buckeyes as winners over the weekend.52:28 - We look ahead to Luke Altmyer and his command of a versatile Illinois offense, as the Buckeye secondary will be put to the test on the road Saturday.

Offense vs Illinois Starts at 1:00 It's a lot worse than we expected. There are Dungeons and Dragons references and they aren't even coming from Seth (we're rolling 1s, folks). They're not doing any of the things we thought they'd be good at in the off-season. They don't have a plan and they never had a plan. Sherrone Moore isn't getting fired after one year, so how do they get out of this hole? Kirk Campbell is in trouble. Is there something going on with this team in the background that we just don't know about? Neither side of the ball is getting better throughout the season. What would YOU do if you were Sherrone Moore?  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs Illinois Starts at 26:59 All things considered, the defense did pretty good. They held Illinois to under 300 yards and Luke Altmyer only had 80 passing yards. Illinois' draw plays worked really well. The defensive line has been struggling with mobile quarterbacks this season. The refs got Michigan for all their holds and DPIs.  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 40:00 Takes hotter than a random post on any message board. Do you think you could punt a ball 33 yards? Welp, let's talk about the fake punt. Michigan plays too slowly to be down two touchdowns. What is the maximum you've ever seen the refs get the spot wrong? Big Noon Indiana is a silver lining! 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac   Starts at 59:38 Indiana 56, Nebraska 7 495 yards to 304, one turnover to five for the Hoosiers. Indiana's backup quarterback comes in and it doesn't matter! The Hoosiers have a 51% chance of going 11-1 according to Bill Connelly.  Maryland 29, USC 28 USC was up 28-14 in the 2nd half. They are now 1-4 in the Big Ten and have lost all four games by a combined 14 points (they led all of these games at some point in the 2nd half).  Michigan State 32, Iowa 20 Aidan Chiles is pretty good when he doesn't turn the ball over and he only turned it over once. Iowa scores a 75 yard rushing touchdown and that's about it for them.  UCLA 35, Rutgers 32 Congrats to UCLA for their first Big Ten win. The passing stats in this game are upsetting for Michigan fans.  Wisconsin 23, Northwestern 3 Just lean on Northwestern and they'll fall over.  Oregon 35, Purdue 0 Yeesh   MUSIC: "Losing It"--Fisher "Heel Highway"--The Hard Quartet "Casimir Pulaski"--Sufjan Stevens “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra    

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz preview the Michigan football team's matchup at No. 22 Illinois, and what the Wolverines must do to start the second half of their season off with a win. They open with a look at what Michigan's offense must do against the Fighting Illini. They discuss the Wolverines' need to come out with energy and drive, especially in the run game, and show more poise when it comes to sustaining drives and avoiding self-inflicted mistakes. They discuss some weak points in Illinois' defense, and key Michigan players who can step up. In the second half of the episode, they look at what the Wolverines' defense must do to contain Illinois. They break down Luke Altmyer's impressive season to date, the Illini passing game's strengths and weaknesses and what it means for Michigan. Along the way, they make prop bet picks for both sides of the ball, and close with their final thoughts and score predictions for the game.
