Monica and Frank analyze the Ohio State Newark Titans' declining power projections, citing offensive line failures as the primary cause for dropping win expectations from eight to six or seven games. The hosts discuss whether a starting left tackle will be benched or moved to guard due to ongoing performance issues.

Key topics include the potential impact on Malik Johnson's 1,000-yard rushing milestone, depth chart adjustments involving tight ends and backups, and the competitive recruiting landscape against Michigan. The conversation also touches on LSU's playoff push and Clemson's offensive dominance as context for the broader Big Ten conference race.

Listeners hear frank assessments of the secondary's coverage struggles, the importance of tempo in mitigating pass protection issues, and predictions for upcoming roster moves. The episode concludes with a lightning round addressing CFP implications and top uncommitted prospects like Marvin Wilson.
