Evaluating Buckeyes in debut, previewing Oregon clash
COLUMBUS – Ohio State pulled away in the second half of its season opener, and now the Buckeyes prepare for their biggest test of the year.
After last year’s game in Eugene was canceled, Ohio State and Oregon are set for an even more highly anticipated matchup in Columbus on Saturday. The pair will meet at The Horseshoe for one of the biggest games of the college football season.
On this week’s edition of the Tim May Podcast, Tim and Lettermen Row senior writer Austin Ward break down the Buckeyes season-opening victory over Minnesota last Thursday and preview the week ahead before Ohio State’s Week Two showdown with Oregon.
In addition to Tim and Austin’s analysis, the guys are joined by ScoopDuck beat writer Jarrid Denney of the On3 sports network to preview what will be a top-10 national matchup when the latest college football rankings are released this week.
Will C.J. Stroud be able to capitalize on the momentum of throwing four touchdowns in the second half against Minnesota in order to put on a show against the Ducks? Will the Ohio State running back situation feature a heavier dose of Miyan Williams and TreVeyon Henderson? And will the Buckeyes be at full strength?
Plus, questions surround Oregon defensive end star Kayvon Thibodeaux after the future top-five NFL draft pick suffered a left foot sprain in the Ducks season opener against Fresno State? What is Thibodeaux’s status for Saturday, and will Oregon’s defense be enough to neutralize the Buckeyes lethal big-play offense?
