Bucknuts Morning 5

All roads lead to Eugene ... Oregon that is. Ohio State is headed out to NIKE country for a rite of passage game for this season. Your Buckeyes get their first real chance to grab the national spotlight and line up the pundits behind them. But it will be no easy task.  Them Ducks are talented. How do our guys - The Dean and Grand Poobah - see the tussle going? We asked Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter that very question. We also dive deep on possible recruiting implications - a certain Alabama defensive back is expected to be in attendance - before recapping the recruiting week that was in Ohio.

Ohio State will host Iowa on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET; CBS) and the No. 3 Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) are down to being a 20.5-point favorite over the Hawkeyes (3-1, 1-0). The spread opened at 23, quickly dropped to 21.5 and continues to move Iowa's way. Do we expect this to be a tight contest for Ohio State, or will the Buckeyes be able to overwhelm a very solid Hawkeye squad? Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle discuss that on today's show, plus: * We react to the high points from OSU's press conference yesterday that featured head coach Ryan Day, plus coordinators Chip Kelly and Jim Knowles. * In a story that has made national headlines over the last week, quarterback Matthew Sluka left UNLV after three games over an NIL dispute. The coaches and the school's main collective deny any promises were made. Regardless of that, is Sluka's situation the start of something big in college football? Will we see more and more players do this? Or will this likely be more of an outlier? All of that and much more is coming you

Ohio State's stiffest test of the season comes this week as Iowa heads to town. What recruits are bound for Columbus to take in the festivities? One recruit expected to attend is Class of 2027 standout Brady Edmunds. You'll get to know the Californian during this show. But when you have Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter in the mix, you know there is so much more. Auburn's pain to be Ohio State's gain? Yep, all that and so much more with our dynamic duo of infotainment.

Through four games, there is a lot to like about this Ohio State team. A few things that come to mind are Jeremiah Smith, the safety tandem of Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom, the blocking from TreVeyon Henderson, the overall production from Henderson and Quinshon Judkins at running back and much more. There are also a few things that need to get cleaned up such as tackling, starting games slow and making sure the best linebackers are the ones seeing the most snaps. And as we know, the competition will continue to ramp up, beginning with visiting Iowa this Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET; CBS). Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and much more on the Monday 5ish.
