Ohio State football is the No. 2 seed in the College Football Playoff and will face No. 3 Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 28. After riding high on a perfect 13-0 season that ended with a Big Ten Championship, should all that turn to worry about facing the Tigers, the defending national champions on a 28-game winning streak?\nOn this Buckeye Talk episode, Doug Lesmerises provides a pep talk and takes text subscriber questions. Why just Doug? Because Doug, Nathan and Stephen recorded an episode together and the audio program bombed before it could be saved. That's what happens when you're on three hours sleep after the Big Ten title game and a drive back from Indianapolis.\nTwo podcasts a week ahead until cleveland.com gets to Arizona for coverage, and then prepare for daily pods from Dec. 23 until kickoff.
