The time has finally come.
After an unsatisfying appetizer that put the "zero" in Week 0 Big Ten action (how does Scott Frost still have a job, honestly), big-boy football gets underway this week when the Buckeyes of Ohio State travel to the Twin Cities to take on the Golden Gophers of Minnesota. Before Thursday evening's gridiron extravaganza, this week's Dubcast welcomes beat king Dan Hope to discuss how the favorites shape up heading into their season opener.
Hope and my co-host Kevin Harrish also discuss Ohio State's general prospects for an improved defensive secondary, who might get the lion's share of the carries at running back this season, and which recent Buckeye quarterback makes the best comparison to newly-minted starter C.
