On this Tuesday episode of Buckeye Talk Rants, Doug Lesmerises is covering four main topics off the top and then running through rants from text subscribers.
First, (1:32) Jaxon Smith-Njigba's Ohio State career is officially over as the star receiver will not recover from his hamstring injury to be able to play in the Buckeyes' playoff semifinal against Georgia.
Then (17:20), offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson is leaving to be the new head coach at Tulsa. What does that mean for the OSU coaching staff?
Then (25:39), C.J. Stroud is one of four Heisman Trophy finalists. What did Doug think about during his voting process?
Finally (45:10), hundreds of players went into the transfer portal on Monday. Could any of them interest the Buckeyes?
With those topics done, Doug went through several rapid fire rants from fans, first with complaints about the pod (51:33), then about football (55:00).
The last section (1:14:04) is fans sharing thoughts on the best way to emotionally handle a playoff spot after a Michigan loss.
Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.
