The Buckeyes got a few big moments out of Dallan Hayden but for whatever reason, those moments were few and far between.
It was not a case of Hayden not performing, instead it was a case of Hayden not getting his number called and seeing very little run during his Ohio State career.
What we saw was great.
We have now learned after multiple reports that Hayden intends to transfer from Ohio State via the portal once things open up after spring football.
I am joined by Tony Gerdeman in this emergency live edition of the Big Me Kickoff where we look at this from various angles and try to make sense of some shocking yet not-so-shocking news.
