Episode Details

Buckeye Talk unveils a new podcast form with this first episode in what is hoped to be a series of Buckeye Talk Legacy pods looking back on the careers of recent Ohio State stars.

First up is quarterback C.J. Stroud, as Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means talk through Stroud's arrival in Columbus and his three years in the program and two years as a starter.

To help tell that story are clips from two Stroud interviews, one from February 2020 when he was an early enrollee freshman looking forward to his OSU career, and another from November 2022 when he was looking back and knowing that he was nearing the end of his OSU career.

Along the way, Doug, Nathan and Stephen discuss these aspects of Stroud's career:

• How he got here
• Year 1 as a Buckeye
• Low Point
• High Point
• Turning Point
• What if he hadn't been a Buckeye
• Describe him in one word
• Did he exceed, meet or not quite reach expectations?
• Where he fits in Ohio State history

We hope you enjoy our first Buckeye Talk Legacy attempt. Thanks as always for listening.
