Are we confident in the offensive line? Which defensive tackles are ready to carry the load? What should the Buckeyes be looking for in the return game? All that and a whole lot more!

On our Tuesday show, we asked whether Ohio State is the real 'QBU'? The Buckeye State must have wanted to have some say because another in-state QB in the Class of 2025 - Bellefontaine's Tavien St. Clair - has earned an Ohio State offer. Is it Ryan Montgomery vs. St. Clair now? Is it a Braxton Miller-Cardale Jones redux? How does Bryce Underwood - the nation's No. 1 '25 QB - fit into the mix. We dive deep on all things QB with Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter, our dynamic duo back for their second BM5 appearance of the week. That's not all: Get the latest on Justin Hill, Justin Scott and more ... you're just in time!

Well, we did not see this one coming, but we absolutely love it. Ryan Day made a splash hire on Tuesday when it was announced that former NFL head coach Joe Philbin will be joining Ohio State's staff as an analyst that will assist with the Buckeyes' offensive line. In addition to being the former head coach of the Miami Dolphins for 3-plus seasons (2012-15) -- where a wide receiver named Brian Hartline played for him -- Philbin is a longtime NFL O-line coach and offensive coordinator. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss the addition of Philbin and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.

You did not enter a time warp - it's actually Tuesday. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter routinely grace this podcast on Thursdays. But they have so much info to share this week it requires TWO APPEARANCES! We dive deep on Fairfield High's Big Man Challenge held on Monday night that featured over 20 Division I prospects including Chris Henry, Jr. Bill was there and has report like no other on the talent on display. So much is covered and that means going down the QB rabbit hole for all sorts of knowledge. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

We are going to do a series of position breakdowns on the 5ish and today we begin with a deep dive on Ohio State's 2023 offensive line. Who will be the starters most likely? Who will be the top backups in order? What are expectations for Justin Frye's group? Also, it turns out Kevin Warren might have been even more incompetent than we thought, which frankly we did not believe was possible. The much-hyped Big Ten TV contracts? Well, as it turns out, they haven't even been finalized yet and schools within the conference are going to get at least $5 million less than they each anticipated. New Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti is scrambling to clean up the mess that Warren left behind. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.

How would we rank Ohio State's running backs 1-5? That is one of the topics Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle tackle on today's show. Also, what are thoughts on the Buckeyes' offensive line heading into the 2023 season? Plus, is the No. 1 recruit from Ohio -- and the No. 4 cornerback in the nation -- Aaron Scott, leaning OSU's way?

Ohio State is in the throws of crafting its Class of 2024 recruiting haul. It's going quite well. Does that mean the 'Nutters are without concerns? Come on, now. When Jeremiah Smith visits another SEC or Florida school ... how should we feel? Fine ... and we tell you why. We also dive DEEP on Ohio's camp season and hit the topics you crave: Aaron Scott, offensive line recruiting, Air Noland vs. Jadyn Davis. It's a recruiting knowledge extravaganza.

The oddsmakers have set Ohio State's over/under win total for the 2023 regular season at 10.5. The 5ish is heavily leaning toward taking the over, despite the Buckeyes' difficult schedule this fall. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus: * What do we expect to see from Kyle McCord this season, presuming he is the starting quarterback? * Things appear to be settling down on the NIL front. We will explain. * The Buckeyes need to be better on special teams this season. Will they? All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Big picture items carry the docket today. Are Ohio State and Georgia on a collision course? Which new QB - at Ohio State, Georgia and Alabama - will thrive?

There is much to discuss about Ohio State football as Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle for today's show. What are our confidence level in the Buckeyes' quarterbacks this season? How deep will Larry Johnson's rotation go on the defensive line this year? Who will be the starting safeties? What would we think if Oregon and Washington ended up joining the Big Ten?

While studying Ohio State's personnel on defense, two important things jump out: The Buckeyes appear to not have a weakness. And they appear to have many strengths. That would seem to be a good combination. On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus: * What does JBook think the Buckeyes are getting in defensive tackle transfer Tywone Malone? * Is offensive line the biggest question mark on the team? And if so, how big of a concern is it? * There is a report that Oregon and Washington have been approved for Big Ten admittance, but the invites have been delayed for multiple reasons. If the Ducks and Huskies do end up joining the Big Ten, what would we think about that? All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Ohio State has now landed eight scholarship players in the transfer portal this offseason, the most recent of course being defensive tackle Tywone Malone who announced he would be a Buckeye on Tuesday following two seasons at Ole Miss. What kind of impact can we expect Malone to have at OSU, both this season and in coming years? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus: * What does the depth chart at defensive tackle now look like for the Buckeyes this fall? * Is OSU now done adding players from the portal? By the way, they are 3 over the scholarship limit as it stands, something the 5ish is never concerned about. They will easily get to 85 before camp. * Why is there not a statue of Archie Griffin outside Ohio Stadium or the Woody Hayes Athletic Center? All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

2023 will be the final year of the 4-team College Football Playoff format. In 2024, 12 teams will be included, including home games for the higher seeds in the first round (5 vs. 12, 6 vs. 11, 7 vs. 10, 8 vs. 9). Then the quarterfinals and semifinals will be played at traditional bowl sites, with the national championship game rotating between major venues as it currently does. Did the CFP get this right? Or should the quarterfinal games also be played on campus sites? Also, what will Ohio State's depth chart look like at running back this season? Those are some of the topics the Monday 5ish tackles as Dave Biddle flies solo.

If you look at the gambling odds, Ohio State is the slight favorite to win the Big Ten championship in 2023. However, Stuart Mandel from The Athletic has picked Michigan to win the Big Ten title in '23. The Wolverines are coming off two straight conference championships and return a lot of starters -- and they get the Buckeyes in Ann Arbor -- so it's far from an outlandish prediction from Mandel. What do we think here at Bucknuts? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that and much more. That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

There is a lot to discuss on the Wednesday 5ish as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle. Ohio State has done a very nice job hitting the transfer portal this offseason. Are the Buckeyes done?

Ohio State's roster is set ... for now ... after adding two transfers this past weekend. How does the 'finished' product look? What holes still need plugging? Who starts where? Steve Helwagen joins Dan Rubin to put it all in perspective. Will new tackle Josh Simmons start? How does the secondary work out? Also: 247Sports has released a top 25 for the '23 season.

The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books and three Ohio State players were selected. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was taken No. 2 overall by the Houston Texans, left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. came off the board at No. 6 to the Arizona Cardinals, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba was selected No. 20 overall by the Seattle Seahawks. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to react to last night's developments and to look ahead to where Buckeyes might be taken tonight and tomorrow. Also, will OSU secure a commitment from offensive tackle transfer Josh Simmons who begins his official visit today? What about DB Lorenzo Styles and DT Tywone Malone?

Is Ohio State about to land a quality offensive tackle from the portal? As our Bill Kurelic reported yesterday, OT Josh Simmons from San Diego State will make an official visit to OSU beginning this Friday and Simmons told Kurelic he has "high interest" in the Buckeyes. The 6-foot-6, 305-pound Simmons is one of the top players available in the portal and has three seasons of eligibility remaining. On today's show, Dave Biddle discusses the possibility of landing Simmons and what that would mean for the Buckeyes. Also, rumors are flying that Ohio State could be the landing spot for Notre Dame transfer Lorenzo Styles Jr., who is switching positions from wide receiver to defensive back. Furthermore, are there any concerns about OSU being a few over the scholarship limit? Or are we not concerned in the least? (Hint: Think latter.)

We are just three days away from the NFL Draft and two of the biggest fans of the event are Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin. On today's show, Dave and Dan make predictions of where the players from Ohio State will be selected in this week's draft (as far as what round and what part of the round). Also, are we buying that the S2 cognition test -- which is suddenly all the rage -- is a good tool to measure how quarterbacks might fare in the NFL? Also, are we buying that C.J. Stroud's performance on the test is one of the reasons he is supposedly falling? Or is this a classic smokescreen from a team (or teams, plural) hoping Stroud will fall to them?

On the Friday 5ish, Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss the main takeaways from last night's Spring Festival that was hosted by THE Foundation and raised a lot of money for Ohio State's NIL efforts. Ryan Day sure seems pleased with the strides the Buckeyes have made in the NIL world in the last few months. Also, what is up with the S2 cognitive test and how is that impacting C.J. Stroud and other quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL Draft? Looking at the 2023 Buckeyes, has Kyle McCord locked up the starting job, or could Devin Brown steal it from him during camp? We close the show talking OSU football recruiting, including what JBook is hearing about 5-star DE Dylan Stewart. All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
