There’s a fairly big game this Saturday in the ‘Shoe, and legend has it that some pretty feisty fans are set to make their return on the banks of the Olentangy.
After getting a very underappreciated and underrated win on the road against Minnesota, the Buckeyes now turn their attention to a visitor from the West Coast, a top twelve opponent in the Oregon Ducks. This one has been circled on the calendar ever since COVID-19 laid waste to the game taking place out in Eugene a year ago, so things should be at a fever pitch.
As fate would have it, Buckeyes Wire was able to get some time with former wide receiver, punishing blocker, former captain, and trick-play-passing-aficionado, Evan Spencer. The last time OSU faced off with the Ducks was during that memorable run to the 2014 inaugural College Football Playoff national championship, so what better guest to speak with than one that’s had the Ducks paddling around him in the Jerry Jones’ world of AT&T Stadium bliss.
The interview was wide-ranging, and we’ve got some of the highlights here, transcribed for your reading enjoyment. We talk about that 2014 season, including the Sugar Bowl against Alabama and Oregon contest, dive into the content you’ll hear on the “Glory Days: Dreams and Nightmares” with Spencer and former linebacker Joshua Perry, and end it on a prediction for the game against Oregon Saturday.
So let’s dive in, shall we?
