A 41-20 win over Tulsa didn't do much to alleviate the concerns about Ohio State's 2021 football team.
Ohio State's defense gave up 501 yards against the Golden Hurricane while C.J. Stroud had his worst performance so far as Ohio State's starting quarterback. The Buckeyes' rushing offense and rushing defense were both better against Tulsa than against Oregon, but the passing offense and passing defense took steps back.
We start this week's episode of Real Pod Wednesdays by discussing what went better and what didn't go better for the defense against Tulsa, then discuss how Ohio State should handle the quarterback situation this week against Akron as Stroud continues to battle a shoulder injury while backup quarterbacks Kyle McCord and Jack Miller continue to await their first playing time of the season.
