You have to admit, from individuals to squads to schemes, Ohio State has been on the upswing the past three games.

Ryan Day talked about a few of those things, but always with the caveat that the No. 4 Buckeyes need to take another major leap Saturday when they play at No. 5 Indiana.

Poo-poo the Hoosiers' schedule to date and throw in a couple of those wins could easily have flipped (Northwestern and Nebraska), but truth is Indiana hasn't lost a Big Ten game since late 2024 at Ohio State.

It is the reigning national champion.

The Buckeyes meanwhile have found some confidence in their run game, their short-yardage approach - heck, Julian Sayin now runs occasionally as a matter of course.

And the defense had gained more cohesion. So kick as Day, Sayin, LB Payton Pierce and DelGazette.com's Dillon Davis help Tim through this.

Earbuds turnt UP!!

The college football regular season is just half over, and after the latest weekend of wreckage, there's sure to be more as the second half ensues, as Matt Wilhelm infers.

He joins Tim for their weekly confab, during which they talked about Ohio State coming off a dominant with over Maryland, headed toward Indiana and the showdown of the latest two CFP champions at noon Saturday in Bloomington.

But that means they talked about the Hoosiers' rally/escape from Nebraska, also.

Plus they talk some refereeing snafus in Georgia's win over Alabama, the telling UCLA victory at Oregon, the go-for-2 times two madness Kentucky pulled in the upset over LSU, and much more.

Wilhelm has thoughts, man, and Tim does, too.

Former Buckeye great Chris Sanders talks the receiving talent of Heisman & Biletnikoff candidate Jeremiah Smith, who holds the triple crown of receiving records at Ohio State.

We also cover Chris' track exploits, where he was a 10-time 1st team All-American.

Colorful & entertaining, this won't be Sanders only appearance on the Tim May Show.
