Ohio State has righted itself after an early loss to Oregon, winning four straight games in mostly blowout fashion. Buckeyes coach Ryan Day joins AP’s Ralph Russo to talk about striking a balance between the urgency of high expectations and keeping a team from panicking after an early misstep. Plus, Day discusses quarterback CJ Stroud’s development, what makes running back TreVeyon Henderson an extraordinary freshman and the state of a defense that struggled through much of the first month of the season. Then Richard Johnson of Sports Illustrated joins the show to talk about what to make of Alabama after its loss to Texas A&M and whether unbeaten Iowa can sustain an unusual formula for success. And a Week 7 preview of the five most intriguing games.
