For the first two years that Jim Knowles was the defensive coordinator at Ohio State, the questions about his signature rush package known as "The Jack" seemingly never stopped.

He joins host Tom Orr to explain how the Jack could be a difference-maker in the run game, and discuss how likely it is to happen this fall.

The 2024 Big Ten football season is set to kick off in less that four months, and the conference still has a very big question it needs to find the answer to: how is it going to break ties between teams in the league standings? With the addition of Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA, the Big Ten is now an 18-team league, and each member will only play nine conference opponents this fall. With divisions now a thing of the past, and teams only having head-to-head results against roughly half of the league, messy tie-breaker scenarios could decide who plays for the conference title, and who gets a leg up in the race for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss why this could be a big issue for the Big Ten this fall.
