Bucknuts.com's Steve Helwagen once again joined Ohio State Buckeyes Live on Tuesday afternoon. He joined host Mark Rogers and fellow panelist Tony Gerdeman of Buckeye Insiders. They were joined by Chip Brown of Horns 247. The four of them spent one full hour looking at Saturday's top-five Ohio State-Texas matchup. The discussion included: * The similarities between Ohio State and Texas with a number of transfers changing the complexion of this game from what transpired the last two seasons. * Thoughts on the messy Western Michigan-Michigan ending. * Which team, Ohio State or Texas, will be able to establish the run after some uneven results in each team's opener. * How this is a referendum game for Texas coach Steve Sarkisian, who is 0-2 vs. Ohio State and 0-3 vs. Georgia. * How OSU OC Arthur Smith must come up with some creative ways to get Jeremiah Smith the ball since Texas targeted him in each of the last two meetings. * How the Buckeyes could employ freshman (potential) phenom Legend Bey, who had a memorable debut vs. Ball State. * Whether Texas can avoid coming up empty on the goal line, as it did in each of last two losses to Ohio State. * What Ohio State's secondary will do to try and neutralize Texas standout WRs Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman. * How Ohio State's offensive line -- specifically the tackles -- will hold up against Texas standout pass rusher Colin Simmons. * What will give defensively with Matt Patricia as OSU's DC and Will Muschamp back after years away to serve as Texas' DC. Plus much much more. This hour breezed by as we looked at this game from every possible angle.
