- In the Week 2 Texas matchup, the Cover 3 speaker preferred Ohio State +1.5. This was the line quoted in the episode, not a live market quote or a fresh betting recommendation. - The lean rested on greater trust in Ohio State's coach and team in major games, versus the speaker's view that Texas had repeatedly fallen short against opponents such as Ohio State and Georgia. The speaker still had questions about both teams; no specific personnel or scheme change was identified.

- OL: "When we last one the natty, the O line was able to close out games running the ball." That didn't happen in a single one of the four CFP games that year, against the...

- OL/DL: This is why away games get me on the edge…..it’s that one variable you can’t quite discount.

- Pick/market: the clock changes have some effect for sure, but it’s also the play calling.

- LB/DB: He was called out for a few pre season struggles but he is still learning the position, even though he is in the NFL.

- QB/LB: I meant that no one up there can teach him how to handle media appearances.

- Injury: Either Devon brown got injured or benched as the other qb threw for over 300 yards in the last Weber state game

- Pick/market: On that, I have a question.

- OL: If I remember correctly, when we played down there in ‘06, we played the entire second team OL a few times during the game because of the heat.

- Pick/market: Ohio State dominated in all phases of the game in its season-opening 56-3 win over Ball State on Saturday.

- Ohio State used Tarvos Alford as the starting outside linebacker in a 4-3 look, while freshman Jay Timmons entered as the nickel back when the defense shifted packages. - Zion Grady started at defensive end over Beau Atkinson and generated a third-down pressure during a mostly strong first half for the Ohio State defense. - Ohio State's offensive line rotated early, with Austin Siereveld moving from right guard to right tackle, Gabe Van Sickle entering at guard, and Phillip Daniels briefly going to the bench before returning. - The halftime review said Ohio State's run blocking or Arthur Smith's run scheme needs work before the Texas game after a hit-or-miss early rushing performance. - Freshman kick returner Legend Bey twice ignored an upback telling him to stay in the end zone, putting Ohio State's offense in poor field position.
