Marotti's evolution | JK Johnson, Ballard two fastest on team?

Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

Six Ohio State assistant coaches were made available to the media on Friday, including strength coach Mickey Marotti. The media only gets an opportunity to speak with Mick about once per year, so it's always interesting to hear from him. How has one of the best in the business evolved his methods in recent years? What did the loss to Michigan do in terms of how the program approaches certain things? Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to discuss that on today's show, plus:

* Are redshirt freshmen J.K. Johnson and Jayden Ballard the two fastest players on the Buckeyes' team?

* Kicker Noah Ruggles is coming back which is great news for OSU.

* The bad news after speaking with head coach Ryan Day on Friday is defensive end Mitchell Melton is out for the season with a torn ACL, and running back Marcus Crowley is retiring from football after another serious knee injury.

We also chat about what stood out from the interviews with Jim Knowles, Justin Frye and more.

All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.
