Andy and friends present a BIG Big 10 preview in today's show! The Athletic's Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan scribes, Bill Landis, Audrey Snyder and Nick Baumgardner, respectively, join Andy in analyzing the upcoming year. Andy and Landis take a look at Justin Fields and his fellow Buckeyes' off-season, including voicing their urge to play (2:15)? Who's Ohio State's next great defensive lineman and how does the defense project this season (5:15)? Does any member of the '10' pose a threat to OSU (8:30), and how was Ryan Day able to keep his core members together despite an exponential amount of setbacks (9:45)? Snyder stops by next to address Penn State stud running back, Journey Brown's, medical condition that could sideline him all of 2020 (11:30). What headspace are the Nitty Lions in ahead of their season opener against Indiana (14:45) and considering the Hoosiers are in the headlights, is the impeding clash against OSU this team's immediate focus (16:15)? PSU aspires to usurp Ohio State as the conference's top...Lion(?)...however, does the program's progress appear stunted or is OSU just that good (19:00)? Baumgardner breaks down Washtenaw County's Covid-19 advisory, which affects U-M's campus. So, how does this figure into the Wolverines plans as they prepare for Minnesota on the road (25:00)? Are all the Jim Harbaugh-Michigan questions/narratives finally extinct, or has everyone just been keyed in on making sure there's an actual football season (27:00)? The Joe Milton era at U-M starts now (30:45). What can we expect? Where does Michigan fall in the Big 10 pecking order (33:00), and, lastly, let's preview Michigan-Minnesota (34:15)!
