Episode Synopsis


It no longer feels like a hot take to say Miyan Williams is Ohio State’s best running back.Williams hasn’t just been Ohio State’s best running back this season, he’s been one of the best running backs in college football this year. TreVeyon Henderson remains great, too, but after Williams’ 189-yard, five-touchdown performance against Rutgers, we’ve become increasingly convinced that the Cincinnatian is Ohio State’s RB1 right now.That’s just one of many topics we cover on this week’s episode of Real Pod Wednesdays as we also share our thoughts on Jesse Mirco’s run and the subsequent Ryan Day/Greg Schiano confrontation that got everyone talking, standout performances by Steele Chambers and Zach Harrison, Michigan State’s struggles going into this week’s game against Ohio State, the surprising firing of Paul Chryst and the mess that is the Big Ten West.The rundown of the topics discussed on this week’s show:0:16: Ohio State vs. Rutgers wasn’t the most thrilling game we’ve ever watched, but it was pretty much what we expected1:16: The case for Miyan Williams being Ohio State’s best running back and one of the best running backs in the entire country7:46: Why it’s dumb for anyone to be mad about Jesse Mirco running instead of punting – or running up the score in general16:15: Steele Chambers and Tommy Eichenberg are thriving at linebacker20:11: Zach Harrison shows he can be a difference-maker as a situational defensive tackle24:04: Ohio State’s red zone play calling was a little weird, but you can’t complain about going 5-for-528:36: Should Ohio State be getting the backups more playing time in blowouts?30:52: A look at what’s gone wrong for Michigan State as the Spartans have lost three straight games35:37: Score predictions for Saturday’s game in East Lansing38:29: We were shocked Wisconsin fired Paul Chryst so soon, but we understand why it happened44:30: The Big Ten West is struggling, and the Big Ten is probably wishing it eliminated divisions before this season47:50: Ohio State is now the betting favorite to win the national championship, but still third in the polls53:14: A Clemson/USC swap in our College Football Playoff picks – and how Ohio State and Michigan could both make the CFP57:07: Dan explains what his day covering an Ohio State football game is like1:02:31: Why we expect Brice Sensabaugh to win the Ohio State basketball dunk contest this week
