That gives us plenty to talk about on this week’s episode of Real Pod Wednesdays as Chase Brown joins Dan Hope to discuss the most notable things we’ve seen and heard during the first six days of preseason camp and weigh the pros and cons of the Big Ten continuing to expand by adding Oregon and Washington in addition to USC and UCLA.
(Note: This podcast was recorded before Gene Smith announced he will retire as Ohio State’s athletic director next year.)
The timeline for this week’s conversation:
- 1:51: It was fun to see fans at practice for a change, and we hope to see that continue
- 3:53: Sonny Styles and Ja’Had Carter with the first team is unsurprising, but where they lined up was
- 8:05: If Styles starts at nickel, we expect Cameron Martinez or a CB to play some snaps there too
- 14:08: Josh Proctor, Malik Hartford also among candidates to be in the “six plus one” at safety
- 18:49: We don’t know how much Buckeyes will rotate in secondary, but the good news is they can
- 21:04: Ohio State doesn’t necessarily need C.
