About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the NCAA's new '5-to-play-5' rule on Ohio State's roster and analyzes the running back room.

A total of 19 players on Ohio State's roster picked up an extra season of eligibility late last month when the new "5-to-play-5" rule was instituted by the NCAA. Who are the 19 players? And which of them might take advantage of the extra year? Also, how does the Buckeyes' running back room stack up with some of the better ones we've seen around these parts? Dave Biddle flies solo on the Wednesday 5ish and tackles that and more.
