For all the worrying about what is wrong with Ohio State this season, are fans not taking enough time to appreciate the best passing attack they have ever seen from the Buckeyes? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual visit to talk about that, plus: * Is OSU's wide receiving corps the best it has ever been top-to-bottom (e.g. 1-7)? * Despite the greatness of the passing offense, how big of a concern is the Buckeyes' offensive line? * What are predictions and thoughts heading into tomorrow night's game against a good Purdue squad? * Urban Meyer says sophomore safety Isaiah Pryor is "getting a lot better."

If you're on Bucknuts, you're likely a fan of the "Bucknuts Morning 5", our daily radio show/podcast that talks all things Ohio State football, basketball, recruiting, and more. You're also probably familiar with the "Bucknuts Roundtable" during the season, where our experts share opinions on the upcoming game and other relative topics. After getting a lot of requests to do the Roundtable in podcast format, and seeing the great success of the BM5, we thought it would be a great idea to kind of mash the two together, with a focus on recruiting. Thus, the creation of "Bucknuts Recruiting Radio." Want daily inside scoop on the Buckeyes? Get VIP access with a 7-Day FREE Trial now! This is the 12th episode of BRR, a podcast that will hopefully become a mainstay here on Bucknuts. The goal of the show is to bring on Bucknuts experts, national and other team experts, other media members, recruits, coaches, and more, who can shed some light into the big storylines around Ohio State's recruiting efforts.

Which Ohio State players should be seeing the field more often? That is one of many topics of today's show as the People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle for today's show. Also on the docket: * Should the Buckeyes think about resting some of their banged-up starters such as Dre'Mont Jones, Robert Landers and Mike Weber this Saturday against Indiana? * The Hoosiers are 4-1, but is that record misleading? * It was good to see Nick Bosa back in Columbus at OSU's practice last evening. Will he return by the Michigan game or perhaps even earlier? All of that and more on the midweek extravaganza. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

These are good times for the Buckeyes. Urban Meyer's football team already overcame the biggest obstacle on the schedule. Chris Holtmann's basketball team added another fantastic recruit to the mix. First, the pigskin.  Will Ohio State suffer a similar fate to last season? Meaning: After the huge win over Penn State, will the Buckeyes trip up like they did in Iowa City last season? Duane Long is here to opine on that and several other footballish topics: * Updated vibes on Dwayne Haskins post-White Out? * Do we agree with Pro Football Focus' evaluation of Buckeye linebackers? * The secondary? Halfway there? * What to expect when the Hoosiers come calling this weekend. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It is the first day of October, but we are still talking about Ohio State's thrilling 27-26 comeback victory at Penn State Saturday night. The Buckeyes were down by 12 points with 8 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but mounted two late touchdown drives to earn the win. There are many things we will remember about this game for a long time, such as Binjimen Victor's 47-yard touchdown reception and the coming-out-party for OSU defensive end Chase Young. Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to discuss all of that, plus: * Ohio State's defensive line is very banged up. Nick Bosa is obviously out until at least November, and now Dre'Mont Jones and Robert Landers are both dinged. * Why doesn't Ohio State utilize QB sneaks in short-yardage situations? All of that and more on the Monday extravaganza. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A lot of people got hot and bothered by a graphic that Ohio State released on Thursday that said, in all caps, "SILENCE." It was obviously in reference to quieting Penn State's "white out" Saturday night ... but that did not stop people from expressing all kinds of fake outrage via social media. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for today's show, and let's just say JBook is not amused by the developments yesterday. But the real story is how the Buckeyes will fare against the Nittany Lions, and we get knee deep into discussion about that. Also, will Urban Meyer continue to allow Ryan Day and Kevin Wilson to keep the foot on the pedal offensively? All of that and more on the Friday extravaganza. Learn more about your ad choices.

Urban Meyer is back. No matter what those outside Ohio have to say. Has Meyer's absence hurt Ohio State's recruiting efforts? We bring in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to answer this question. Nobody is more plugged in on the trail and we think Bucknutters will be pleased with what Steve has to say on this topic. We also talked about: * Jameson Willams - next in the class? * Zach Harrison - could he show up at Penn State's 'white out' vs. Ohio State? * The Big Ten - what the heck? All that and more!

Jeff Wadsworth quit his post on Ohio State's board of trustees because he did not believe Urban Meyer's penalty of three games was long enough. Then Wadsworth proceeded to air dirty laundry to the New York Times on Thursday, and tried to paint OSU and Meyer in a very bad light. This of course does not sit well with us here at Bucknuts. We felt it was a very weak move by a man who was known as a weak "leader" during his time at Ohio State. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus talk some actual football for most of the show. * What are we most excited to see tomorrow when the Buckeyes kick off the 2018 season against visiting Oregon State? * What will the offensive game-plan and overall offensive scheme for OSU? * How concerned should you be about the offensive line? * What are JBook's prediction for how Ohio State will fare overall this season?

There is Big Ten football today. It's here. The season is actually here. You've been through a lot, 'Nutters. You deserve this.

We even got Steve to put his lofty reputation on the line by getting his predictions for: * Big Ten offensive MVP ... * Big Ten defensive MVP ... * Big Ten freshman of the year ...  * Big Ten West champ ...  * Big Ten East order of finish ...  * Big Ten champ ... * The College Football Playoff quartet ... * National champion ...

The offensive line was always a question mark for Ohio State when talking about the 2018 season. Now just three days from the opener against Oregon State? Well, it is an even bigger concern.
