    With Jim Knowles leaving Ohio State for Penn State, we have to wonder how this defensive coordinator switching allegiances in the Big Ten rivalry could impact both teams' chances of winning a national championship next year.

    After unpacking his latest NFL mock draft, Cody then put Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins and Kentucky DL Deone Walker on NFL teams, bruh!

    After that, Cody continues to wonder if Dylan Railoa cosplaying as Patrick Mahomes is going to work out well for him in the end.
