So what if the offense isn’t yet where it needs to be? It’s being 3-0 that matters, right? Please say yes.

Despite a couple of mediocre outings and the quarterback position in flux, Johnny and I aren't panicking just yet. Instead, we're simply here to talk about the win over Northern Illinois with the reasoned, levelheaded thinking you've come to expect from us. No offense? Heck, just play better defense.

Joining us this week to talk about Ohio State football (and all things college football) is Sports Illustrated college football writer Pete Thamel. Pete was a great interview and gave us his views on Ohio State's season-opening struggles, which teams out there might be flying under the radar and he admits he's still a little skewed toward the SEC as far as top-to-bottom quality.

And, of course, Matt Finkes joins us for our weekly Finkes on Football segment. Matt's got takes for days on the pass defense, defensive line play, preparation for unexpected defenses, the quarterbacks, and more.

And we answer actual listener questions in our Ask Us Anything segment. Don't forget, you too can ask us anything via Twitter or by emailing us.


0:26- Johnny and I get into the 20-13 win over the Huskies. What went right? What went wrong? Who is our quarterback?

12:48- Ask us anything ponders philosophical questions of free will and whether cookies should be soft or crispy. (Spoiler: soft!)

22:43- Finkes on Football: Matt delves into how well the defensive line is playing, the cohesion between the front four and back seven, and Ohio State's search for an offensive identity.

37:46- Pete Thamel from SI jumps on and talks about the Buckeyes, Urban Meyer behind-the-scenes access to Ohio State and all things college football in 2015.

58:18- Which Muppet are you?

That'll wrap it up for week three of the college football season. We'll be back next week to break down Western Michigan and look ahead to the B1G opener.
