Horror film review | Will The Shoe fit? | Who to root against!

We like to say around these parts that coaching matters more in football than any other sport. (And it matters a lot in every sport.) Today's show with Dave Biddle and Patrick Murphy takes a close look at Ohio State's coaching staff, including first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, second-year DC Matt Patricia and eighth-year head coach Ryan Day. Patrick thinks Day is getting too much flak after the Texas lossand explains why. Dave thinks a lot of the criticism is fair, but also believes Day can right the ship. 
That and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish. 
(2:00) - Intro 
(2:55) - Thoughts on Arthur Smith thus far 
(5:40) - Matt Patricia not being aggressive enough 
(11:27) - Pat defends Ryan Day; Dave pushes back 
(20:32) - Why say it's going to be a 4th-quarter game? 
(23:42) - Day's clock management is poor 
(30:00) - Good news on injury front

Fully? 
Maybe not. But today's show will certainly help.

We also talk recruiting, Texas visitors that weren't and much more - including another running back to focus on as your Buckeyes search for their Class of 2027 ballcarrier (or two).
