Ohio State football head coach Ryan Day met with the media on Tuesday to preview this weekend's prime time game between the Buckeyes and Minnesota. Day discussed a number of topics including the Buckeyes' red zone struggles, RT Phillip Daniels facing his former team, adjusting to an even slower pace of play and number of posessions this season, whether the OSU offense can lean on Matt Patricia's dominating defense, and what they've learned through a third of the regular season. Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and more on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast.

Hour two opened with Bill breaking down the biggest college football storylines with ESPN's Jake Trotter, including Jake's perspective on Arch's performance and if both LSU and Miami proved they are legit contenders. Buy or Sell was next as Bill answered if Tyreek Hill not being named a Dolphins captain is concerning and whether DeBoer or Belichick is on the hotter seat. The show ends with Bill revisiting the UNC loss and discusses where the program goes from here.

The LSU Tigers may have staked their claim to “Best Team in the SEC” with a win at The Clemson Tigers Saturday night. The LSU Football defense was dominant in the win and looks to have answered the questions about their ability to pair with the LSU offense on a championship level. For Clemson Football, this is a disappointing home loss but the ACC schedule will not feature many defenses like LSU's. The Texas Longhorns laid an offensive egg in Columbus against the Ohio State Buckeyes Saturday. We spent an entire offseason talking about Texas Football Coach Arch Manning and the result was a very flat performance from the new QB. Texas has a dominant defense but can they find enough offense? Or, was it just that the Ohio State Football defense was that good? The DEBUT of the TNR SEC Power Rankings! PLUS, our daily 4 Downs!
