Doug Lesmerises joins the show to preview Ohio State-Texas, praising Jeremiah Smith's rare talent and Julian Sayin's near-perfect opener while noting Ohio State's offensive line shuffling at right tackle as a concern against Texas' pass rush. He also weighs in on the Michigan-Western Michigan clock controversy, criticizing the Big Ten for its slow, insufficiently forceful response and speculating money may be why Western Michigan and the MAC haven't pushed back harder. Lesmerises closes by questioning Michigan's coaching staff after head coach Kyle Whittingham gave a tepid endorsement of Bryce Underwood following an underwhelming performance.
