Hey, hey, where you've been?

Buckeye talk is about to begin.

Hey, hey, hey, come on in. Ben, Buckeye Talk is about to begin.

Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to Bucket Talk.

I'm Stephen Means.

That's Todd Christ Nick, and that's Andrew Gillis.

We talked with Ohio State defensive and offensive coordinators, Jim Knowles and Chip Kelly on Tuesday.

I have Ohio State's game against Notre Dame and the national championship game next Monday.

Stefan, these two were like really loose.

And Chip Kelly, so I just want to, we're going to break down the offense and the defense over the next two days. So we don't have to go full X's and O's on this.

I almost just want to react to the vibes that we got out of today.

Chip Kelly was talking about how there's not a coach in America who would be six days out for the national championship game talking about

how I've got this. But I felt like the vibes of both Jim Nulls and Chip Kelly were very much

yeah, I got this. It's kind of like we talked about on one of our postgame videos, at some

point in this four game stretch, Ohio State wasn't going to look like the team that beat Oregon, that beat Tennessee, that just in the second half, you had no questions about the direction of the game.

At some point, there was going to be a bump in the road.

And it felt like that's what the Texas game was.

And now that they got over that, it kind of goes back to what I was road. And it felt like that's what the Texas game was. And now that they

got over that, it kind of goes back to what I was saying of. It feels like smooth sailing from here.

I mean, they're 10 point favorites. Obviously, nothing is guaranteed. But I think that there's a feeling,

a sense that you almost get like, all right, vibes are good. Like you got past that bump in the road. Now you just got to go finish the job.
