The 2021 Ohio State football team has had an up-and-down first month of the season.

They started with an impressive road win at Minnesota, then had a disappointing home loss to Oregon and a flat performance against Tulsa, before rebounding for a big win over Akron.

Buckeye Scoop's Kevin Noon joins host Tom Orr to discuss the issues with leadership, including:
- The quarterbacks being both young and inexperienced
- Several returning veterans sitting out with injuries
- The emergence of a number of surprising freshman contributors
