2025 Cotton Bowl: How Can Ohio State Keep Its Edge? · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to buck Eyes tomorrow morning for Saturday, January fourth.
0:03
Speaker 1: I'm your host, tom Or. The Cotton Bowl game against
0:05
Speaker 1: Texas is in six days. The game against Michigan in
0:07
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty nine days. Get a chance to
0:10
Speaker 1: start our Cotton Bowl coverage with the first press conference
0:14
Speaker 1: previewing the game. You're to start on today's show with
0:16
Speaker 1: Ryan Day, Ohio State head coach. Tomorrow, we'll let you
0:19
Speaker 1: hear from Steve Sarkigi and the Texas head coach got
0:21
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to him on Friday as well.
0:23
Speaker 1: I'm going to start though with Ryan Day. As I said, now,
0:26
Speaker 1: the first question of the press conference was from a
0:28
Speaker 1: Texas reporter, and sometimes you're trying to get the coach
0:31
Speaker 1: to try and say something interesting about the team you cover.
0:34
Speaker 1: This is one that was sort of set up for
0:36
Speaker 1: Ryan Day to say something interesting, and he did not
0:38
Speaker 1: take the bait. The question was, so Texas has really
0:41
Speaker 1: struggled in the run game recently, with as well as
0:43
Speaker 1: the Ohio State defense is playing, is that an area
0:45
Speaker 1: where the Buckeyes could have an advantage?
0:47
Speaker 2: I just I look at their offensive line, the coaches,
0:51
Speaker 2: they're running backs, and I know that they're very very talented.
0:55
Speaker 2: They're very good, so we're going to have to be
0:57
Speaker 2: at our best, I know that, and always looking for balance. Again,
1:02
Speaker 2: I have a tremendous amount of respect for Sark and
1:04
Speaker 2: the way that he designs his offenses, the way he
1:07
Speaker 2: calls the game. So our defensive staff is going to
1:10
Speaker 2: be working around the clock to put a great plan
1:13
Speaker 2: together and then our players in terms of executing the plan.
1:17
Speaker 2: And that's what's most important as we heading this week
1:20
Speaker 2: and focusing on the process. We know when we get
1:22
Speaker 2: to this point in the playoffs, we're going to be
1:24
Speaker 2: playing against great players in great scheme and we know
1:27
Speaker 2: that you know, this offense has a chance to be very,
1:30
Speaker 2: very explosive. So we got to get back to work
1:33
Speaker 2: this week and focus on the game plan. Make sure
1:36
Speaker 2: that you know, we have a good mixture of the
1:40
Speaker 2: things that we've done in the past mixed in with
1:43
Speaker 2: things that you know are possible change ups along the
1:45
Speaker 2: way based on how they attack us.
1:47
Speaker 1: Now, it seems like quite a while ago that everyone
1:50
Speaker 1: in Columbus was about ready to jump off the roof
1:52
Speaker 1: following the loss to Michigan and missing out on the
1:55
Speaker 1: Big Ten championship game, and there are lots of uncertainty
1:57
Speaker 1: about how the Buckeyes were going to play when they
1:59
Speaker 1: did get it chance to go into the College Football Playoff,
2:01
Speaker 1: and two games later, well that's not really as much
2:04
Speaker 1: of a concern anymore to blow out wins over Tennessee
2:08
Speaker 1: and Oregon, and now the Buckeys are halfway through the
2:10
Speaker 1: four game run to a national championship. So if they
2:14
Speaker 1: entered the playoff with a lot of people doubting them,
2:17
Speaker 1: and if really use that as a motivational tool to
2:19
Speaker 1: kind of keep an edge over the first couple of games,
2:23
Speaker 1: now that they're sort of backing everyone's good graces after
2:26
Speaker 1: a couple of big wins, how do they keep that edge?
2:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mentioned that the team the other day, same
2:33
Speaker 2: guys in a room as was there a month ago.
2:37
Speaker 2: And you know, nothing that's happened in the past, or
2:39
Speaker 2: really the noise that's around the building has anything to
2:42
Speaker 2: do with our preparation and our focus and our process.
2:45
Speaker 2: And that's what we've been diving into. And you know,
2:49
Speaker 2: we don't need any extra motivation to win this game.
2:51
Speaker 2: But one thing that does motivate our team is an
2:54
Speaker 2: opportunity for the team to play for another week together,
2:56
Speaker 2: and you know, this is a great, great group of
2:58
Speaker 2: guys that cares a lot about each other, have fun
3:00
Speaker 2: with each other, that love competing with each other. You
3:02
Speaker 2: can see the passion on the field when they get
3:04
Speaker 2: on the field. And I think the way that this
3:07
Speaker 2: format is and the way the playoffs are set now,
3:10
Speaker 2: it allows us an opportunity to grow as a team
3:13
Speaker 2: and to learn and to get better and to peak
3:17
Speaker 2: late in the season. And so I think we've learned
3:20
Speaker 2: a lot about our team. I think we've grown a
3:21
Speaker 2: lot as a team. And you know, we're banking on
3:23
Speaker 2: this to be our best football the season. But these guys,
3:27
Speaker 2: you know, they care a lot about each other, and
3:30
Speaker 2: we're just going to focus on the execution and making
3:32
Speaker 2: sure that you know, we're preparing ourselves as best as
3:36
Speaker 2: we possibly can to go play this game against these
3:38
Speaker 2: guys on Friday night.
3:39
Speaker 3: And that's it. You know, nothing else matters. I've said
3:44
Speaker 3: this before.
3:44
Speaker 2: Nothing that's happened previously is gonna have any effect on
3:47
Speaker 2: what's going on other than learning from our experiences. So
3:50
Speaker 2: we got to do a good job of starting from
3:52
Speaker 2: scratch again. I think that's one of the things that
3:55
Speaker 2: our guys need to understand is that when you're playing
3:57
Speaker 2: in playoffs, it's almost like you know, seasons within themselves
4:01
Speaker 2: during that week, and that you know, you almost start
4:03
Speaker 2: from scratch, you know, and you can go through and
4:05
Speaker 2: you say, Okay, here's your opponent, here's your process, here
4:08
Speaker 2: are the walkthroughs, here are the meetings, here are the practices,
4:11
Speaker 2: here are all the things that come with preparing for
4:13
Speaker 2: a game like this to be a competitive excellence. And
4:16
Speaker 2: so we got to do a great job this late
4:17
Speaker 2: in the season of being disciplined to do a better
4:20
Speaker 2: job than Texas.
4:21
Speaker 1: Wellhi of State fans I think have taken really a
4:24
Speaker 1: shine to Will Howard. Only playing in Columbus for this
4:27
Speaker 1: one season as a quarterback, but he has been just
4:30
Speaker 1: dynamite on the field in virtually every game for the Buckeyes.
4:33
Speaker 1: Drops some absolute dimes in that Rose Bowl as well
4:36
Speaker 1: as against Tennessee in the game before that. But you know,
4:39
Speaker 1: set aside Will Howard as a player, what has he
4:41
Speaker 1: meant to the team as a leader?
4:43
Speaker 2: Well, I think even for somebody who's you know, experienced
4:48
Speaker 2: like he is, and you know, you know, with his age,
4:53
Speaker 2: you're still you know, you're in a different school you're
4:56
Speaker 2: in a different program, you're in a different offense and
4:59
Speaker 2: playing within the offense, and being here now for the
5:01
Speaker 2: number of games that he's played, he's learned a lot
5:03
Speaker 2: about himself. But he's also learned a lot of the offense.
5:05
Speaker 2: He's grown into the offense, and I think he understands
5:08
Speaker 2: that his job is to be the number one leader
5:10
Speaker 2: on the team and on the field, and that the
5:13
Speaker 2: team is going to take on his personality. But in
5:16
Speaker 2: terms of the football on the field, I think he's
5:18
Speaker 2: done a great job off the field of grasping the concepts.
5:23
Speaker 2: He's put a lot of work in with Chip and
5:25
Speaker 2: with Billy. You know, when when you know the first
5:28
Speaker 2: couple of words come out of a play, he can
5:30
Speaker 2: finish it for you, and that's when you know he
5:32
Speaker 2: knows exactly what's going on.
5:33
Speaker 3: He make sure everybody's on the same page.
5:36
Speaker 2: When you're in the huddle, you can communicate a lot
5:37
Speaker 2: of information, situation, you know, down, distance, score, all those
5:42
Speaker 2: things that come into play, and so, you know, I
5:45
Speaker 2: think that's been important. I also think his footwork has improved.
5:48
Speaker 2: I think when his footwork is on time and he's
5:52
Speaker 2: able to, you know, time, some things up in terms
5:54
Speaker 2: of his play actions and drop back passes. You're seeing
5:58
Speaker 2: him play you know, really good football, making good decisions
6:01
Speaker 2: and throwing the ball accurately.
6:03
Speaker 1: One of the recurring storylines of the regular season for
6:05
Speaker 1: Ohio State is, boy, the Buckeyes keep getting off the
6:07
Speaker 1: slow starts. They just can't come out of the gate
6:09
Speaker 1: fast at all. They're trailing Northwestern and they're trailing Indiana.
6:13
Speaker 1: They can't get out to a good start. What's going
6:15
Speaker 1: on with the buck Eyes? Well, didn't playoff. They have
6:19
Speaker 1: just been shot out of a cannon. Two games in.
6:21
Speaker 1: They combined thirty five zero in the first quarter against
6:24
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Oregon, and honestly, it could have been worse
6:27
Speaker 1: in both cases. So what has changed there for the
6:30
Speaker 1: buck Eyes.
6:31
Speaker 2: We've always wanted to have fast starts. I mean we
6:33
Speaker 2: all know that, but I do think that you know,
6:35
Speaker 2: we've talked about, you know, early in games. You know,
6:37
Speaker 2: you want to set the tone for the game, you know,
6:39
Speaker 2: as an individual, but also as a team as a unit.
6:43
Speaker 2: You know, both games we've started off with the ball
6:46
Speaker 2: and we've gone right down and scored. So execution fuels
6:48
Speaker 2: a motion, and that certainly has a big part of
6:50
Speaker 2: it they go together, and we've executed well on those
6:54
Speaker 2: first couple.
6:54
Speaker 3: Drives and that's had a big part of it. Defense.
6:56
Speaker 2: I've got some three and outs early in the game
6:59
Speaker 2: and we've been able to jump on the last two opponents.
7:02
Speaker 2: But we also know that when we get into halftime,
7:04
Speaker 2: we got to go play in the second half. And
7:07
Speaker 2: you know, we didn't do a great job of handling
7:08
Speaker 2: the middle eight in this past game, and so we
7:10
Speaker 2: had to get that fixed. The issues are always there.
7:13
Speaker 2: You come out of a game like this. It's easy
7:15
Speaker 2: to say, well, you know, everything was great.
7:16
Speaker 3: It wasn't great.
7:17
Speaker 2: You know, there was a lot of things that we
7:18
Speaker 2: got to get better at if we're going to beat Texas,
7:19
Speaker 2: and so we got to make those adjustments coming out
7:23
Speaker 2: of the game. We got back here yesterday, got back
7:25
Speaker 2: on the film. You know, it was a quick turnaround,
7:27
Speaker 2: but guys did a great job getting in here, getting
7:29
Speaker 2: on the film. We kept our routine, our routine, and
7:32
Speaker 2: so you know that's going to be the focus. But yeah,
7:35
Speaker 2: we always want to get fast starts, but we know
7:36
Speaker 2: it's going to be four quarters and you know, we
7:40
Speaker 2: got to come out of halftime, and I think that's
7:42
Speaker 2: the thing that you know, we talk about all the
7:43
Speaker 2: time when you come into halftime, it's going to be
7:45
Speaker 2: one of three things. You're leading, it's tired, or you're losing,
7:47
Speaker 2: and then how do you, you know, figure out how
7:49
Speaker 2: you're going to go adapt in the second half to
7:50
Speaker 2: go win the game.
7:52
Speaker 1: Speaking of things that feel like a million years ago,
7:55
Speaker 1: one season back, the Buckeyes were also playing in the
7:57
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl. Obviously very different circumstance is from the ones
8:01
Speaker 1: that are going to be facing now going into this
8:03
Speaker 1: year's game, very different stakes as well. But what's the
8:06
Speaker 1: message to the Ohio State team heading back to Arlington.
8:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're two games away from a national title,
8:13
Speaker 2: and you know, the only way that we're going to
8:15
Speaker 2: get to that final game is to win this game.
8:17
Speaker 3: And that's it.
8:18
Speaker 2: And I think yesterday we're able to talk a little
8:20
Speaker 2: bit about that. But once that's once that's done, the
8:24
Speaker 2: the Oregon game is over, and you know, you got
8:27
Speaker 2: to move on from that, just like we've had to
8:28
Speaker 2: move on from other games in the past. And the
8:31
Speaker 2: only thing that matters is this game right here, playing
8:33
Speaker 2: against Texas, and again, our our motivation right now is
8:36
Speaker 2: keeping this team together one more week and then we'll
8:39
Speaker 2: go from there and figure out what's next after that.
8:41
Speaker 2: But everything else right now is a distraction. And like
8:43
Speaker 2: you said, the leaders are the ones that have to
8:45
Speaker 2: set the pace on this. And when you're a young eighteen,
8:50
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty year old person, you know, it isn't always
8:53
Speaker 2: easy to stay locked in for this this.
8:56
Speaker 3: Long of a time.
8:57
Speaker 2: And I think the team that can be disciplined enough
8:59
Speaker 2: to do that and continually compare, prepare at a high
9:02
Speaker 2: level and not cut corners, not frey, not get distracted,
9:07
Speaker 2: not you know, you know, try to take short cuts
9:11
Speaker 2: this time of year is going to give themselves the
9:13
Speaker 2: best chance to win. And so we've got to do
9:15
Speaker 2: the best job we possibly can of preparing for this game.
9:18
Speaker 2: And that's that's our focus, and that's our process right
9:20
Speaker 2: now that we're going to continue to dive into.
9:23
Speaker 1: College football. Coaches always love to control whatever they can control,
9:27
Speaker 1: and in this case, having played in the in the
9:30
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl last year and having played in Jerry World
9:33
Speaker 1: before helps a lot. Even get to remember Will Howard
9:35
Speaker 1: even played in Jerry World in the Big twelve championship game,
9:38
Speaker 1: so everyone's kind of familiar for the most part with
9:41
Speaker 1: the stadium, with the facilities all that kind of stuff.
9:43
Speaker 3: Does that help?
9:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know even for me with you know
9:47
Speaker 2: the TCU game. You know, so there's a lot of
9:51
Speaker 2: you know, history there and I don't think that really
9:54
Speaker 2: has anything to do anything quite honestly.
9:56
Speaker 3: You know, we got to go play on the field.
9:57
Speaker 3: But it's a great venue.
9:59
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of eight games there, and I
10:01
Speaker 2: know we have great fans, you know, in the Dallas
10:04
Speaker 2: area and throughout Texas, and so we know it's going
10:08
Speaker 2: to be a great atmosphere.
10:10
Speaker 1: One of the big storylines coming out of the quarterfinals
10:13
Speaker 1: was boy conference champions. Those teams that got the first
10:16
Speaker 1: round by that didn't seem to help at all. All
10:18
Speaker 1: four of them lost in the quarterfinals. So was it
10:22
Speaker 1: an advantage to have come in with a little bit
10:24
Speaker 1: of momentum and already have a college football playoff game
10:26
Speaker 1: under your belt when you're we're entering those quarterfinals.
10:29
Speaker 2: I know we're all looking to see how this all
10:32
Speaker 2: shakes out and then going to evaluate it and figure
10:35
Speaker 2: out what's the best moving forward.
10:37
Speaker 3: You know, I don't I don't really.
10:39
Speaker 2: Know the answer to your question, other than the fact
10:41
Speaker 2: that I did feel like you know, we've talked here
10:45
Speaker 2: in this room about you know, going back and watching
10:48
Speaker 2: some of the old NFL teams and winning that first
10:50
Speaker 2: wildcard game and then getting some momentum into the playoffs
10:54
Speaker 2: and continuing to play. You know, there's there's been an
10:56
Speaker 2: evidence of that throughout you know, the NFL playoffs because
10:59
Speaker 2: they're really had never been a college football playoffs like
11:02
Speaker 2: this before, so you go back on, you know, things
11:04
Speaker 2: that you can best compare to. And so I did
11:07
Speaker 2: feel like if we could get a good win in
11:09
Speaker 2: the first game, we could build momentum. Now it's our
11:12
Speaker 2: job to keep momentum. We have it right now, but
11:14
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean anything if we don't keep it. So,
11:18
Speaker 2: you know, we'll continue with our process. These games are
11:20
Speaker 2: coming fast. They're not bowl games, they're just like game weeks,
11:24
Speaker 2: and it'll be the same thing there. We get in
11:26
Speaker 2: on Wednesday night and then we play the game on Friday,
11:29
Speaker 2: so it'll be a quick turnaround and we'll again focus
11:31
Speaker 2: on our process.
11:32
Speaker 1: Next up is a question from a reporter who gave
11:34
Speaker 1: his name as Jeremiah Smith, so you can keep that
11:37
Speaker 1: in mind when you hear Day's answer, because there's a
11:39
Speaker 1: little bit of a back and forth at the start.
11:40
Speaker 1: But the question was, you know, Will Howard looked so
11:43
Speaker 1: comfortable in the Rose Bowl. What has that acclimation process
11:46
Speaker 1: looked like, getting him acclimated to the Ohio State offense
11:50
Speaker 1: to feeling comfortable with things? And how do you keep
11:52
Speaker 1: that rolling?
11:53
Speaker 3: Now? We just keep it throwing it to you. I yeah,
11:58
Speaker 3: I know, it's great.
12:00
Speaker 1: It's that I've reminded my family many times how the
12:04
Speaker 1: week in and week out.
12:09
Speaker 2: Well, I think again, for Will, the more he plays
12:14
Speaker 2: at Ohio State, in this offense, with his teammates, he's
12:17
Speaker 2: getting more and more comfortable with everything. And you can say, well,
12:21
Speaker 2: you know, he's played a lot of college football before,
12:23
Speaker 2: and he has, and you're seeing some of those things
12:25
Speaker 2: show up on the field. But just like anything else
12:27
Speaker 2: you see guys who move from NFL team the NFL team,
12:30
Speaker 2: sometimes it takes a while to get into the offense
12:32
Speaker 2: and understand it.
12:33
Speaker 3: It's like a language.
12:34
Speaker 2: And when you can understand it like second nature, and
12:36
Speaker 2: that's when you can play your best football. So again,
12:39
Speaker 2: what does that mean moving forward? Nothing, He's got to
12:42
Speaker 2: go do it from the first snap all the way
12:43
Speaker 2: to the end. And you know, if you start, you know,
12:46
Speaker 2: thinking back on good games, bad games and start to
12:50
Speaker 2: think that that's going to affect this next one, You're
12:51
Speaker 2: dead wrong. So he's got to be the best leader
12:53
Speaker 2: on the field. But he also has some confidence right
12:57
Speaker 2: now going into this game, which again he's got to
12:59
Speaker 2: continue to build on.
13:00
Speaker 1: Will Howard will enter the game as Ohio State starting quarterback.
13:03
Speaker 1: Quinn Ewers will enter this game as Texas's starting quarterback.
13:07
Speaker 1: But of course there's some alternate history somewhere where this
13:10
Speaker 1: is Quinn you weres Ohio State starting quarterback in twenty
13:12
Speaker 1: twenty four. Remember he enrolled at Ohio State as a
13:16
Speaker 1: true freshman early enrollly in twenty twenty one before transferring
13:19
Speaker 1: to Texas following that one season. What were Ryan Day's
13:22
Speaker 1: first impressions of quinn Ewers as a recruit and what
13:25
Speaker 1: was it like to have him at Ohio State for
13:26
Speaker 1: that one season.
13:28
Speaker 2: Well, he was one of the first eighth graders that
13:30
Speaker 2: I ever offered. He was in our camp here in
13:34
Speaker 2: the Woody and I saw a young he was a
13:37
Speaker 2: boy at the time really who just had a tremendous release,
13:42
Speaker 2: and I remember grabbing him and grabbing his dad and said, man,
13:44
Speaker 2: you got a bright future head do you.
13:45
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is good or bad, but
13:47
Speaker 3: we're going to.
13:47
Speaker 2: Offer you a scholarship at Ohio State, even in eighth grade.
13:50
Speaker 3: And again I don't know if that's legal or not,
13:52
Speaker 3: but we did.
13:53
Speaker 2: And then we went through the process, and boy was
13:58
Speaker 2: it was strange how it all shook out. You know,
14:00
Speaker 2: he decided to come really in the middle of preseason
14:03
Speaker 2: camp for US, and so it was a little bit strange.
14:06
Speaker 2: But again with college football, you look to adapt the
14:08
Speaker 2: best you can. And then CJ really had a great
14:11
Speaker 2: season that season and he decided he really wanted to play,
14:14
Speaker 2: and but it was it was disappointing for us, but
14:18
Speaker 2: we certainly understood and you know from Afar have watched
14:21
Speaker 2: him and he's got a lot of talent.
14:23
Speaker 3: He's a really good player.
14:24
Speaker 2: He comes from a great family, and he's had a
14:27
Speaker 2: great career at Texas and you know a lot of
14:29
Speaker 2: people here still have good relationships with him and think
14:32
Speaker 2: the world.
14:34
Speaker 1: And finally, with quick look back at the Rose Bowl,
14:37
Speaker 1: you got to talk about that second Jeremiah Smith touchdown.
14:40
Speaker 1: This is the one where they're going left to right
14:42
Speaker 1: on the on your TV screen or on the field
14:44
Speaker 1: if you were sitting on the Oregon side of things,
14:47
Speaker 1: and it was a long touchdown past Jeremiah Smith, but
14:50
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit of time to get that
14:52
Speaker 1: receiver down there and let him beat the safety and
14:55
Speaker 1: get open, so you have that easy walk in touchdown
14:57
Speaker 1: as they did, and a big part of that with
15:00
Speaker 1: Donovan Jackson. He had a huge block on Jordan Bursch
15:02
Speaker 1: to help make that happen. What has Donovan Jackson meant
15:05
Speaker 1: to this year's team.
15:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say in terms of his leadership, he's
15:11
Speaker 2: been extraordinary to you know, we all know the story.
15:15
Speaker 2: This is a guy who came back by the way
15:17
Speaker 2: from Texas, so going back to his home state to
15:19
Speaker 2: play in this game, which is great exciting for him.
15:23
Speaker 2: But you know, he came back to play guard and
15:25
Speaker 2: be the top guy taking in the draft next year
15:28
Speaker 2: after a very long decision with he and his family.
15:31
Speaker 2: So then you know, after that Oregon game to have
15:34
Speaker 2: to go move to tackle, it was a very selfless
15:37
Speaker 2: thing to do. But in the meantime, when he's embraced
15:40
Speaker 2: in this is a great message for our young players.
15:41
Speaker 2: He embraced the change for the team. He's now become
15:45
Speaker 2: a very very good tackle and he's increased his value
15:48
Speaker 2: exponentially in my opinion, with the ability to play both
15:51
Speaker 2: positions will need him to play that way. In this game,
15:54
Speaker 2: they have tremendous pass rushers. They do a great job
15:56
Speaker 2: rushing the passer on the edge. They have some really
15:58
Speaker 2: good players. But he battled his tail off and all
16:01
Speaker 2: those throws that will has an opportunity to push down
16:04
Speaker 2: the field. It's because of the protection of the offensive line,
16:06
Speaker 2: so that goes into a lot of work. And sometimes
16:10
Speaker 2: I don't know if the offensive line gets credit for
16:12
Speaker 2: the protection, because in the past game, it doesn't work
16:15
Speaker 2: if we don't have protection. It doesn't work, if we
16:16
Speaker 2: don't run the routes properly, it doesn't work if the
16:18
Speaker 2: running back doesn't pick up his blitz.
16:21
Speaker 3: And then obviously the.
16:21
Speaker 2: Throw and catch, So a lot goes into the passing
16:24
Speaker 2: game and the protection is a big part of that.
16:27
Speaker 1: Well, hope you guys enjoyed that one. As I said,
16:29
Speaker 1: we'll have a press conference show with Steve sarkisian Texas
16:33
Speaker 1: head coach coming up on the next show. Tomorrow's show
16:37
Speaker 1: also have the Ohio State Oregon Rose Bowl rewatch show
16:41
Speaker 1: turn Tony Gerderman and I dropped that on Friday evening
16:44
Speaker 1: in the Buckeye Weekly podcast feed. I think you will
16:47
Speaker 1: probably enjoy listening to us relive that game as we
16:51
Speaker 1: watched it after we got home. And then we'll start
16:54
Speaker 1: that whole our usual process watching some Texas games as well.
16:57
Speaker 1: We'll try and get at least three games in for you.
17:00
Speaker 1: Watching the long Horns and some of their biggest, most
17:03
Speaker 1: recent games give you a sense for what you can
17:05
Speaker 1: expect from the long Horns and when they end the
17:07
Speaker 1: Buckeyes of course, when they take face off in the
17:10
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl that is coming up in just under a week.
17:14
