It’s another Mark It Down Monday, and as the 2024 college football season draws near, it’s time for Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis to check in with some major predictions. In this episode, it’s the Heisman Trophy and Ohio State's recent history of finalists. Since Ryan Day arrived in 2017, OSU has had at least one finalist in all but two years. Three have been quarterbacks, plus a wide receiver and a defensive end. Can that run continue in 2024? They each provide who they think will be the top four for the award and why they picked the winner. Plus a conversation about whether a third non-quarterback could join Chase Young and Marvin Harrison Jr. by doing so. Thanks for listening to another Buckeye Talk. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and Andrew discuss Ohio State football's tight and defensive line positions. They highlight the different vibes from the defensive line coach and the tight ends coach when discussing their position groups. While one group seems to be confident about its options heading into a 2024 season where OSU could play as many as 17 games, the other is still trying to figure out how to replace the production of a two-year starter, who's off to the NFL.

After about five hours sleep, Doug, Nathan and Stephen are back for the Tuesday Buckeye Talk pod, going through the more than 1,000 questions and comments they received from text subscribers in the aftermath of Ohio State's loss to Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night. Among the topics: Was it a failure that Ohio State didn't win a national title with Justin Fields? Did OSU make a mistake by not getting their young backup QBs more reps this season? Did the Buckeyes miss Tommy Togiai or Trey Sermon more on Monday? Which veterans with NFL decisions might come back? How interesting will spring football be? Did this season show the Angry Bama that we predicted in the preseason? Is the greatest Bama edge over Ohio State in talent or coaching? When does the breakfast cereal bracket start?

One day before the national championship game we decided to have a little fun on Buckeye Talk.

Nathan Baird, Doug Lesmerises and Stephen Means discuss which side of various bets they would take and why. (As always, this is only an exhibition. This is not a competition. Please, no wagering.) Also, Doug shared thoughts on what Urban Meyer's potential interest in the Jacksonville Jaguars job could mean for Ohio State's football taff.

Which is the best OSU team of the playoff era? Is this Alabama team the best OSU opponent of the playoff era, of the six teams the Buckeyes have played?
