About this episode

The episode discusses the rising excitement around Ohio State players Devin McCuin and Jay Timmons as the season opener approaches.

The hype train for Ohio State wide receiver Devin McCuin (Ryan Day said what?) and cornerback Jay Timmons is not slowing down as we get closer to Saturday's season opener against Ball State. Quite the contrary. If anything, the excitement for McCuin and Timmons continues to build throughout the WHAC and across Buckeye Nation. McCuin and Timmons are, of course, the main topic of discussion on today's show. But Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell also discuss expectations for Legend Bey, why Julian Sayin is a polarizing figure for some national analysts, our expectations for the Buckeyes' defense this year and more. That is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
