Ep. 165: Without Nick Bosa, can Ohio State's defense cause havoc?

Buckeye Talk: Ohio State podcast by cleveland.com

Nick Bosa's college career ended this week, as Bosa's family told Urban Meyer that he's focusing on rehabbing his injury, and then preparing for the NFL Draft, rather than attempting to return to Ohio State late in the season, or maybe for bowl season.

So what now?

On the latest episode of Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com, Doug Lesmerises is joined by guest co-host Chad Peltier to answer that question. Peltier digs in on OSU numbers when he writes about the Buckeyes for Land-Grant Holy Land and Football Outsiders, and he brought that analytical perspective to a full discussion about the Buckeyes.

The focus early was on the Ohio State defense creating, and giving up, explosive plays, and whether that can be a winning formula. Then Doug and Chad took your questions and got into red zone offense, reasonable expectations for the Buckeyes, cornerback play and what's up with the run game.

It's the Buckeye Talk you know and love with a little twist. Thanks, as always, for listening.
