Jim Knowles’ mood; young LB opportunities; and James Laurinaitis in the rivalry

On this Wednesday Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means are talking about Ohio State linebackers after speaking with Buckeyes’ defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Jim Knowles and new OSU grad assistant James Laurinaitis last week.

Covered in the three sections on this episode:

* (0:30) How Knowles felt about his first year running the defense and what the focus will be in spring football

* (25:20) The chances that young linebackers C.J. Hicks, Gabe Powers and Reid Carrico should get in the spring

* (38:36) The role Laurinaitis should play in recruiting and ... might play in Michigan prep?
