Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle give final score predictions for the first-ever meeting between the Buckeyes and Cardinals, detail what they are looking forward to seeing the most, react to the news that Legend Bey will be OSU's primary kick returner, and give a "best bet" of the week in college football. Dave is picking a MAC team to cover against a Big Ten squad tonight. That and much more is coming your way on the "BTA version" of the Friday 5ish.
