    The Beat: Ohio State building identity, addressing concerns in time for critical B1G stretch

    Ohio State is gaining confidence and establishing an identity after winning in a tough road environment on Saturday at Iowa. Maryland doesn’t represent as much of a challenge this week in the Horseshoe, but the Buckeyes know critical matchups are looming in the College Football Playoff race after that and are emphasizing improvement across the board — both in areas where they’ve already taken steps forward and in some where it’s still needed. Former Ohio State captain Zach Boren popped in for a midweek Blitz on The Beat to dive into all of those topics before the Buckeyes take on the Terrapins. ⮞ Business Inquiries: rick.rogala@10tv.com

    The Beat: Why evaluating Ohio State standards, expectations of success is now trickier

    Ohio State won its Big Ten opener without ever being in any kind of realistic jeopardy, but that still produced a fresh batch of questions about the championship-caliber credentials for the program in some circles.

It’s a TalKing Tuesday on The Beat with King and Austin Ward.
