Previewing Ohio State's final 2023 home game against Minnesota

Ohio State wraps up the home portion of its schedule with a game against Minnesota which on paper is expected to be as lopsided as last week's win over Michigan State.

One team is trying to pull off an upset by potentially catching the other looking ahead to bigger things. The other side is trying to get through the game as seamlessly as possible without any hiccups. Those hiccups are mostly focused on a special teams unit that has made a habit out of making a noticeable mistake that eventually the right team will capitalize on.

On this Friday episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis preview The Buckeyes' Week 12 opponent while also discussing what special teams coordinator Parker Fleming had to say about the unit's problems.

Then Tyler Shoemaker joins the pod as usual to provide some of the best bets of the week both in relation to OSU and around the country. Then Nathan and Andrew rejoin Stephen as the trio gives their game picks. Finally, before closing things out, the crew takes one last look at the career of Josh Proctor who has been a constant topic of conversation over the past six years. PLus Nathan previews an upcoming story about the most important member of the defense.
