Emeka Egbuka, Denzel Burke and the most important factors in Ohio State's game against Penn State

On this Thursday episode of Buckeye Talk, the crew gets back to their roots while discussing Ohio State's upcoming top-10 matchup with Penn State.

It's been a while since the podcast has had an episode go for almost two hours but a game with significant Big Ten and College Football Playoff implications makes it well worth it. Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis discuss Saturday's game using six simple questions that sum up everything that will matter:

• Should Ohio State still be trying to redshirt Dallan Hayden given the state of the running back room?
• How ready is Kyle McCord for his second big game as starting quarterback?
• What's the best unit between OSU's offense and defense and PSU's offense and defense?
• What's the most important positional matchup in deciding who will win the game?
• Who is an Ohio State offensive and defensive player who can use this game to make a name for himself?
