Episode Details

Ohio State Primetime Live 107 Presented by FanDuel Hosts: Garrison Gaddy, Denzel Jones, Riley Burnett Topic: Maryland recap + Ohio State at Indiana preview (“Will the Buckeyes Avenge the Loss?”)

Maryland Recap (Opening Segment)

~00:56 – 05:15 Riley: Solid but not spectacular win. Offensive line was banged up with timing miscues; both running backs (“the Jackson Two” — Bo Jackson and Jacoby Jackson) played well and complement each other. Jeremiah Smith got early touches and made them count. Defense was mostly solid (7 of Maryland’s points came from OL miscues).

Garrison pushes back lightly on the “no clear RB1” take, noting Bo’s 25-yard TD run (best blocked run of the season) and arguing the backs are even. Denzel leans toward Jacoby looking strong. Consensus: both backs are running hard; no need for a strict RB1/RB2 hierarchy right now. Ryan Day looked fired up on the sideline (“Cocaine Day” energy).

Key takeaway: Good win to move to 10-0 all-time vs. Maryland, but the team still has key pieces to get healthy before the real Big Ten stretch.

Indiana Preview — Overall Outlook & Defense

~05:15 – 25:00+ Biggest remaining Big Ten game is now at Indiana (top-5 matchup in Bloomington). Oregon has fallen off; this is the clear top test left.

What they want to see from Ohio State:

• Continue leaning into the run game (best run blocking of the year vs. Maryland; backs hit holes cleanly).
• A consistent second receiver to step up alongside Jeremiah.
• Defense to win man-to-man vs. Indiana’s elite skill players.

Indiana’s weapons highlighted:

• WRs: Charlie Becker (~529 yards, 8 TDs) and Nick Marsh (~528 yards, 6 TDs).
• RBs: Turbo Richard (~597 yards, 8.4 YPC, 5 TDs) and BB Junior (~531 yards). Garrison called them arguably the best WR and RB duos in the country (with some pushback in chat).

Nebraska blueprint: Nebraska’s front stuffed the run early and covered Becker well for most of the game but forgot about Marsh in the second half (especially in trips/slot). Ohio State should take the same approach but execute better because they have superior talent. Do not let Indiana stretch the field early with quick game or explosives.

Secondary confidence: Mixed. Jermaine Matthews needs a “get-back” game vs. Becker. Devin Sanchez is still inconsistent (has given up TDs to big receivers); mid-season is time for him to step up. Safeties (McClain more in the box, Earl Little versatile) have been better. Need Jay Timmons’ energy if available. Win the ones.

Front seven vs. run game: More confident after Nebraska showed the blueprint. Fresh bodies, stunts/twists, and emerging players (Edrick Houston, Quay Russo, etc.) should help. Don’t let Indiana get the run game going early in Bloomington.

Josh Hoover: Average game manager who fits Cignetti’s system. Ohio State’s low sack rate is noted, but hosts expect Patricia to dial up pressure (blitzes, stunts) and make him uncomfortable. Hoover is “due” for a turnover.
