It's weird to think that the aftermath of a victory over Michigan could cause any kind of doubt or consternation, but in the playoff and conference championship era all bets are off. So to make sense of everything, we go looking toward Ohio State's recent past.

I still find it really, really hard to explain exactly what happened with the Ohio State football team in 2014. Watching those last three games felt like a series of increasingly large dominoes crushing opponents as they fell, leading to a grand finale that no one could've really expected.

Well, some people did, like Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee. In the Dubcast this week, the former Ohio State great and current New York Jet talks about the exact moments he knew that the 2014 team was destined for great things, and the player on the team whose speech still gives him chills when he thinks about how it helped spur him and the rest of the Buckeyes on to greatness. Darron also has some great info about what it's like to play in the NFL, including what it feels like to have the game finally, mercifully slow down for you.

Plus, Ask Us Anything (which you can do here and here), our three keys to OSU beating Wisconsin, and a fun little discussion about the weirdness surrounding Greg Schiano's almost-hiring at the University of Tennessee. And finally, before we get into the rundown, please make sure to rate and subscribe on iTunes!

0:00 Michigan! Ohio State won! Hooray! Also Beau and I delve into the ridiculousness that is the Greg Schiano situation.

26:10 Darron Lee is here, and he talks about Ohio State's mentality leading up to the 2014 championship run, which features a story involving a player that you probably didn't expect to show up as an inspirational figure.

42:28 Our three things for the game against Wisconsin this coming Saturday, plus! Ask Us Anything. I love barking dogs.
