Ryan Day allowed Tony Alford to decide how to divide the playing time at running back for Ohio State, so we presume the same will be true with Carlos Locklyn coaching the Buckeyes' RBs. Day has not been shy about calling it "the best running back room in the country" and that begs a question: How will the carries be divided between TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins? Are we expecting something in the 50/50 range presuming they both stay healthy? How much action will Dallan Hayden see this year? What about true freshman James Peoples? Also, the more we hear about Locklyn, the more we are impressed. Does he have one of the most interesting backgrounds of any Ohio State coach in recent memory? We sure think so and we cannot wait to interview him when he arrives in Columbus. We think Day hit another home run here in what has been an incredible offseason for his program. Speaking of interviewing Ohio State coaches and players, here is the list of names that will be available after practice today at 11:15 a.m: Judkins, Hayden, James Laurinaitis, Matt Guerrieri, Caleb Downs, Josh Simmons and Mitchell Melton.

On today's show, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle take a look at the biggest storylines for Ohio State with spring practice just around the corner. What is atop the list in our opinion? Is it finding a starting WILL linebacker? Could it be something else? And what else will we be keeping a close eye on? That is the crux of today's show. Also, we continue to be intrigued by the Justin Fields situation in Chicago. Will the Bears keep the former Ohio State star and trade the No. 1 overall pick for the second consecutive year? Or will they trade Fields and draft Caleb Williams? Or trade Fields and draft someone else? The decision will be made in the near future and we're curious to see which direction the Bears take and what type of situation Fields ends up in. That and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Laurinaitis, Guerrieri make impressive impressions | The problem with the CFP's '5+7' format

Ohio State's newest defensive position coaches -- James Laurinaitis and Matt Guerrieri -- met with the media yesterday and they were nothing short of extremely impressive. What were our main takeaways from both Q&A sessions? Laurinaitis basically said Cody Simon is locked in as a starting linebacker. Who will start alongside of him? As for the safeties, Guerrieri is inheriting a proverbial gold mine with the talent in his room with the likes of Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom. As for Sonny Styles, will he be in Guerrieri's room this year? Or Laurinaitis'? Time will tell on that one, but both coaches had interesting things to say about the talented junior. Also, the CFP made its "5+7" format official on Tuesday. We see one major problem with it. We discuss in detail on the show, but the gist of it is we do not think the ACC and Big 12 should be on equal footing with the Big Ten and SEC when it comes to automatic berths and first-round byes. We explain further. Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and more on the Wednesday 5ish.

We are not typically "national championship or bust" people here at Bucknuts. But is 2024 the exception to that rule as Ohio State is concerned? We are beginning to think so.  Do the Buckeyes have one missing piece though, perhaps? An offensive tackle via the portal? Or are there in-house options that will more than hold the fort down? Also, just how hot is Chris Holtmann's seat at this point? The Buckeyes dropped to 3-5 in Big Ten play after a lackluster loss at Nebraska last night. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on the Wednesday 5ish to discuss that and much more.

The 2023 season ended with a dud for Ohio State and now there are serious questions that need to be answered. What changes will Ryan Day make to his coaching staff? What is the deal with some of the troubling rumors we have heard, such as the team only having light practices leading up to the Cotton Bowl and not even utilizing all of their practice time? Is there good news to report? Well, not yet, but we continue to hear that a lot of upperclassmen are going to return for the 2024 season. There will also be players the Buckeyes bring in from the portal. Could quarterback Will Howard be one of them?

It sure felt like the changing of the guard when quarterback Devin Brown was one of Ohio State's players that were made available to the media on Tuesday. Brown is in line to start the Cotton Bowl against Missouri and if he plays well, will likely be the favorite to be the Buckeyes' QB1 in 2024. Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle talk about Brown taking the reins and what to expect from him. Also, it looks like several OSU players that people thought might opt out of the bowl game will actually play against Mizzou. All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Bucknutters wanted to hear from Matt Baxendell on the cheating scandal at Michigan. Ask and you shall receive. Bax joins Dave Biddle on today's show to give his thoughts on what is going on with the Wolverines and let's just say he does not hold back one bit. Bax strongly believes this will be viewed as one of the biggest cheating scandals in the history of college sports. Do you agree with that assessment, Bucknutters?  Also, more damning information seemingly comes out each day about the cheating scandal, which means OSU fans and fans from around college football have been snacking on plenty of popcorn. What might come out next? And would the Big Ten and/or NCAA punish Michigan during the 2023 season? Or is any possible punishment coming after the season has ended? We also squeeze in some discussion about the Buckeyes' game at Wisconsin this Saturday night. Any reason for concern, or do we think OSU will roll over what appears to be a mediocre Wisconsin team?
