00:00And let's go to the third ranked team in the country. That's Ohio State on the road tonight

00:08in East Lansing. Large number north of three touchdowns Joe in favor of the Buckeyes. Ohio

00:14State frankly has dominated the Spartans. They have won eight straight to last five

00:18by an average margin of more than five touchdowns per game. It's tonight with Jonathan Smith's

00:23first shot against Ryan Day. Any close? I think it is and Jonathan Smith as a dog I'm willing to

00:29back in regards to this matchup. I think this is an ugly type of game. You see the total defense

00:34and yards allowed for Michigan State around 260 per game and I tell you when I bet when I break

00:40down Ohio State I love the rushing attack. I love the skilled talent. I'm still not sold on Will

00:45Howard. I think he's a problem. I think he's a weakness especially in big matchups. I'm sorry

00:51I'm taking the points with Michigan State. I think they're going to be in this game.

00:54Spart, Eileen Sparty, they're 0-2 against the number at home so far this season.

00:59Now those were wins but FAU Prairie View. Ohio State has been odd. It's a garbage sample size

01:06that we've been given from them so far. Numbers are not there for me to get involved with this

01:11game at all. Ohio State is unfortunately going to be a team that I probably struggle to get

01:15to the window at. I don't love betting crowded backfields. What the heck is this whole thing

01:19with Jockens, Henderson? No clarity there. We don't know who the number one wide receiver is.

01:23It could be Emeka Igbuka. It could be Jeremiah Smith. No clarity there. The targets fluctuate.

01:29Will Howard, I think Will Howard is good enough for the roster that they have here. You don't

01:35think that there's enough on Ohio State? You think he's that bad? No, I think he's good.

01:40I don't think he's elite. Is he the difference maker? I think that's a good point but he does

01:46have a lot of talent at his disposal. Kev, you brought this up in our pre-show meeting. 25-1,

01:51tied for the ninth best place alongside Aller to win the Heisman Trophy but it's so spread out

01:56and Will Howard hasn't been all that impressive. It's almost just, hey, Ohio State's still really

02:00good. One of the five teams in the country that has a top five scoring offense and defense. I

02:04don't think Will Howard's a legit contender and that's not even a slight. Again, this is one of

02:08those situations. Golden State, you know, Warriors with Stephan Durant. Just not enough production

02:14for individuals to win a Heisman Trophy here. The Spartans in two games as an underdog this year.

02:18An outright winner against Maryland. A push last week against BC depending where you got the number.
