Cade Stover has drawn the moniker "Farmer Gronk" as a farm-raised, big-bodied, sure-handed, touchdown-catching tight end who absolutely wrecks defenders as a blocker. But astute Buckeye fans will know that Stover isn't the first farm boy tight end to light up opposing defenses for the Ohio State; the prototype was Ben Hartsock, one of the stars of the 2002 National Championship season.
Hartsock, a 10-year NFL veteran hosting Big Ten Today each weekday afternoon on Sirius XM satellite radio, joins The Dubcast this week to talk about the state of modern college football. He'll also share some stories about the 2002 title run, including one of his favorite Jim Tressel anecdotes. Finally we'll pose the question: "Is this the year Ohio State throws to the tight end?" and get his takes on the race for the 2022 National Championship.
We'll also take a look at how Ohio State thoroughly pantsed Michigan State last weekend, preview the bye week, and get Johnny's weekly report on what's happening with That Team Up North.
All that, and a full slate of questions in Ask Us Anything, which you can do by sending us questions to dubcast@elevenwarriors.com!
Thanks as always to you for listening and checking out the Dry Goods store; thanks to Travis for the cool logo, and we'll see you next week!
