BONUS: Ohio State 31 - Iowa 14: Juck's Three-Point Stance · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

0:03
Speaker 1: And welcome into the Buckeye Insiders postgame show. We are
0:07
Speaker 1: coming to you live from Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa,
0:10
Speaker 1: in what some are calling the greatest day in Iowa
0:13
Speaker 1: City history. At least I am anyway. Listen, I want
0:16
Speaker 1: to start with obviously the Buckeyes with a big win today.
0:19
Speaker 1: A final score of 31 to 14 in a top
0:22
Speaker 1: 15 matchup with game day here for the second time
0:26
Speaker 1: in history here at Iowa. And the first time, of course,
0:30
Speaker 1: was the Buckeyes coming. Now, the last time the Buckeyes
0:33
Speaker 1: came here in 2017 in one of those games that
0:36
Speaker 1: if you're a Buckeye fan, you remember where you were.
0:39
Speaker 1: An all-time shocker. And coming in here today, a lot
0:42
Speaker 1: of people thought that there was some serious potential for
0:46
Speaker 1: this one to be a close one, despite a 13.5, 14.5
0:50
Speaker 1: point line is what it went off at. And I
0:54
Speaker 1: just wasn't feeling it, man. I wasn't feeling the Kinnick
0:57
Speaker 1: Stadium and the Iowa City Magic was going to be
1:00
Speaker 1: on their side today. This was two football teams, one
1:02
Speaker 1: clearly better than the other. And in the end, there
1:05
Speaker 1: was one spot in this stadium left where the sun
1:08
Speaker 1: was shining. It was right over there. And it was
1:10
Speaker 1: the one spot where all the Buckeye fans were as
1:13
Speaker 1: the band sung Carmen, Ohio with them and a fantastic
1:18
Speaker 1: day here at Kinnick. The weather was gorgeous. What a
1:21
Speaker 1: great place to see a game. I got to say
1:23
Speaker 1: the trip better than better than Austin. I loved it
1:26
Speaker 1: out here. Everybody's great. The place is beautiful. And let's
1:30
Speaker 1: get into some football because an unbelievable performance today was
1:33
Speaker 1: had by Jeremiah Smith. His second game in a row,
1:37
Speaker 1: over 200 yards receiving and just unbelievable as he breaks
1:42
Speaker 1: both the touchdown record and the reception record after breaking
1:46
Speaker 1: the yardage record in game number three. He comes back
1:50
Speaker 1: here in game number five of the season against a
1:52
Speaker 1: really tough defense in Iowa and a defense that is
1:57
Speaker 1: not one known to give up a you know, 200
1:59
Speaker 1: yards to anybody through the air. Sure enough, Jeremiah gets
2:02
Speaker 1: it done and props to Julian for taking some shots
2:05
Speaker 1: there where it didn't look like it was there on
2:07
Speaker 1: a couple of those. I mean, one of them was
2:08
Speaker 1: triple covered. One of them I thought was intercepted. Like
2:12
Speaker 1: as soon as he threw it, I was like, that's
2:13
Speaker 1: getting picked off. And Jeremiah was able to fight and
2:16
Speaker 1: grab it, but another 200 yard day back to back.
2:20
Speaker 1: And I said before the game, the only thing slowing
2:23
Speaker 1: down 2026 Jeremiah Smith this year is, Is a lightning delay.
2:27
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of them. There was not one
2:29
Speaker 1: happening here today. And Jeremiah certainly not slowed down. So
2:33
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. But what we did notice. And what
2:36
Speaker 1: some of our friends are bringing up here in the chat.
2:37
Speaker 1: And you guys bring it man. I'm going to wrap
2:40
Speaker 1: with you guys. Until Tom and Tony come out here.
2:43
Speaker 1: It's me and you. So a couple of you guys
2:46
Speaker 1: pointed this out. That Devin McEwen had a nice game.
2:50
Speaker 1: And it felt very apparent. To Tony and I up
2:54
Speaker 1: in the booth. That there was certainly. some desire to
2:58
Speaker 1: get Devin McEwen involved here. We were talking earlier on
3:01
Speaker 1: in the week. Is it now time in the season
3:04
Speaker 1: where you're starting to get a little nervous that you
3:06
Speaker 1: haven't seen any chemistry getting built up with anybody else
3:10
Speaker 1: other than Jeremiah, really? You still don't know who the
3:13
Speaker 1: clear number two is. I think we know after today,
3:16
Speaker 1: not specifically like, you know, who is the clear number
3:19
Speaker 1: two best, but certainly who they want to use as
3:21
Speaker 1: the clear number two. It felt like, not forced, but
3:25
Speaker 1: designed that they wanted to get Devin McEwen involved. They
3:28
Speaker 1: did get Devin McEwen involved right down here in this
3:31
Speaker 1: end zone where he scored. And boy, he hit a
3:36
Speaker 1: route and it made the linebacker fall down. It was
3:38
Speaker 1: so embarrassing, the poor guy. But hey, that happens when
3:42
Speaker 1: you're playing the Buckeyes, man. That happens when you're playing
3:44
Speaker 1: the Buckeyes sometimes. And Devin McEwen, similar to the play
3:47
Speaker 1: he scored on at Texas, goes into the end zone
3:51
Speaker 1: on a little one yards after catch. And it was awesome.
3:55
Speaker 1: And then you get the other one going down that direction,
3:58
Speaker 1: the longer reception he had. But he looked smooth, man.
4:02
Speaker 1: All in all, we've got a lot to talk about
4:04
Speaker 1: with this offense. It was wild. When you look at
4:07
Speaker 1: the run-pass breakdown, I can't recall ever seeing this. I mean,
4:13
Speaker 1: I'm sure we've seen it. But the number of passes
4:16
Speaker 1: versus the number of runs. I got it. Here it is.
4:18
Speaker 1: 47 rushes to 27 passes. That is not what I
4:24
Speaker 1: expected coming into today. 47 rushes to 27 passes. Considering
4:30
Speaker 1: we've talked all along about this season, and it's very
4:32
Speaker 1: clear that this Buckeye team, this version right here, is
4:36
Speaker 1: without a doubt a better passing team than it is
4:38
Speaker 1: a running team. And at times, running the ball has
4:41
Speaker 1: felt like banging your head against the wall with this
4:43
Speaker 1: Buckeyes team. However, we did see these guys run the
4:46
Speaker 1: ball pretty well. And I think all in all, they
4:49
Speaker 1: rushed for, oh, how many yards per carry? I don't
4:52
Speaker 1: think I have that down right off the rip. But
4:54
Speaker 1: I will say this. Jacoby seems to be the clear
4:59
Speaker 1: number one at this point. As Jacoby Jackson started off
5:03
Speaker 1: the game, of course, the Buckeyes started off getting the
5:06
Speaker 1: fumble right down here on this side of the field.
5:08
Speaker 1: They get the fumble. Awesome cause fumble by Kenyatta Jackson,
5:13
Speaker 1: who ended up getting dinged up a little bit later on,
5:15
Speaker 1: but he appears to be fine. Christian Allegro recovers it.
5:19
Speaker 1: And now you're in the red zone, so it's, okay,
5:21
Speaker 1: Jacoby Jackson's coming in first, but he's in the red zone,
5:24
Speaker 1: so maybe it's that. And then series number two, we
5:28
Speaker 1: see Jacoby again. And I don't think it could be
5:30
Speaker 1: any clearer who the best runner on this team was today.
5:35
Speaker 1: It was without a doubt Jacoby, and I don't care
5:37
Speaker 1: what the numbers say. I don't care what they say.
5:39
Speaker 1: They may say Bo had better yards per carry. In fact,
5:42
Speaker 1: I think they just might. But to me, without a doubt,
5:46
Speaker 1: if we look here at these, So we've got Jacoby Jackson, 5.1
5:50
Speaker 1: to carry 14 for 72 with a long at 12.
5:55
Speaker 1: Bo looked like an even split here. So Bo had
5:57
Speaker 1: 16 carries for 74.4 yards per carry. And then Isaiah
6:03
Speaker 1: West contributed seven for 21 at three yards of carry.
6:07
Speaker 1: I thought Isaiah looked much better than that on the
6:09
Speaker 1: runs that he actually was able to get something going.
6:11
Speaker 1: There was a couple of those in there that we'll talk,
6:14
Speaker 1: you know, later on this week when we, go through
6:18
Speaker 1: the game in a little more detail, but certainly Isaiah
6:21
Speaker 1: West had a couple of plays where it was, there
6:24
Speaker 1: was some unfortunate, some unfortunate things with the offensive line today.
6:28
Speaker 1: I thought more so than we had seen here, certainly
6:31
Speaker 1: against Illinois. And in the last few games, I thought
6:33
Speaker 1: this was maybe not their best performance in both past
6:37
Speaker 1: pro and run blocking in a while here. And that's unfortunate.
6:42
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, there's a lot of negatives we
6:44
Speaker 1: could talk about and we will certainly, but let's continue
6:47
Speaker 1: on with the positives as Jeremiah was obviously one of
6:52
Speaker 1: our Buckeye stickers of the game. So Jeremiah gets his
6:55
Speaker 1: sticker for his record breaking day. And then we've got
6:59
Speaker 1: a second one. And our second one is definitely going
7:01
Speaker 1: to go to Jacoby Jackson. Jacoby Jackson was an absolute
7:06
Speaker 1: dog today. I love the way the guy runs. I
7:09
Speaker 1: love the way he always seems to have. I mean,
7:11
Speaker 1: he makes the right cut every time. And then the physicality.
7:15
Speaker 1: And I wasn't I was able to tune into the
7:17
Speaker 1: broadcast a little bit here and there, but it's like
7:18
Speaker 1: three plays behind us. So it's kind of difficult. But
7:22
Speaker 1: I saw Charles Davis, I think, talking about his leg drive.
7:25
Speaker 1: And it's just so apparent and it's so different than
7:28
Speaker 1: when you see Bo enter into contact. The way Jacoby
7:31
Speaker 1: tries to get his leverage under pads and drive forward.
7:35
Speaker 1: And honestly, he's not much heavier than either Bo or Isaiah.
7:39
Speaker 1: Isaiah does run a little bit like that, but Bo
7:41
Speaker 1: is the one who's splitting carries. And it's just missed
7:45
Speaker 1: tackles forced. We'll see what the numbers are charted at
7:48
Speaker 1: the end of this thing when we get those numbers.
7:52
Speaker 1: But it seemed to me like missed tackles forced. Jacoby
7:55
Speaker 1: Jackson had a plenty and Bo had, I don't know,
7:57
Speaker 1: maybe one on the day. He's just not a guy
8:00
Speaker 1: who at this point this season has been able to
8:02
Speaker 1: really get loose. He's not been able to force any
8:05
Speaker 1: missed tackles and Jacoby is clearly the best runner. So
8:09
Speaker 1: if it's Jacoby moving forward, I'm good with it. I
8:11
Speaker 1: think it's probably the best move at this point. And
8:14
Speaker 1: I would like to see some more Isaiah in there
8:16
Speaker 1: as well. Obviously no legend Bay today. And we talked
8:19
Speaker 1: about that earlier in the, in the week that based
8:22
Speaker 1: on Ryan day's comments that he made on Tuesday, it
8:25
Speaker 1: sounded like a real long shot that we were going
8:28
Speaker 1: to see any legend Bay Ryan day's comments earlier in
8:31
Speaker 1: the week were kind of like, I'm not too happy
8:34
Speaker 1: with the youngster right now. It's kind of what it
8:36
Speaker 1: sounded like to me. I think most would have heard
8:38
Speaker 1: it that way as well. It didn't have anything to
8:40
Speaker 1: do with his ankle injury. In fact, last week I
8:42
Speaker 1: watched him pregame, Illinois running around and cutting very hard
8:46
Speaker 1: with no brace or tape on the ankle at all.
8:50
Speaker 1: He didn't play last week. He didn't play this week.
8:52
Speaker 1: And you know, he's young, he's a freshman. We'll see
8:56
Speaker 1: what happens, but certainly they could use them when it
8:58
Speaker 1: comes to the explosives, because while the Buckeyes did have
9:01
Speaker 1: some explosive today, Not too many on the ground. I
9:03
Speaker 1: don't know how many X plays they had on the
9:04
Speaker 1: ground today, but it wasn't many. And if you're going
9:07
Speaker 1: to run the ball 47 times, you would hope that
9:09
Speaker 1: you could pop some X plays in there. And it
9:12
Speaker 1: just did not seem like they had many. Now, let's
9:16
Speaker 1: get to the three-point stance here. Wait, we got one
9:18
Speaker 1: more thing here. We got one more Buckeye sticker to
9:21
Speaker 1: give away. And that is certainly going to be, it's
9:25
Speaker 1: going to go with our three-point stance as our third
9:28
Speaker 1: Buckeye sticker is going to go to Quay Russoff. who
9:32
Speaker 1: is obviously a guy that we have talked about this
9:34
Speaker 1: year as having been most of us you know kind
9:36
Speaker 1: of absent like hello when is Quay Russo going to
9:40
Speaker 1: show up and play is this guy going to contribute
9:42
Speaker 1: anything and today was absolutely the best day that he's
9:45
Speaker 1: had as a Buckeye by a mile he made early
9:49
Speaker 1: on in the game two really nice plays stacking and
9:52
Speaker 1: shedding a blocker and then kind of flying back and
9:55
Speaker 1: laying out and make a tackle he also contributed to
9:58
Speaker 1: the pass rush he had one bull rush where he
10:00
Speaker 1: almost made a play. And then he did have one
10:03
Speaker 1: where he did make a sack. And I think his
10:04
Speaker 1: line on the day, if I can pull this up quickly,
10:08
Speaker 1: he did contribute to the stat sheet as Quay Russo
10:12
Speaker 1: was in on five total tackles with two solo at
10:15
Speaker 1: a sack, one at 1.5 TFLs. So a huge, huge
10:22
Speaker 1: fat Buckeye sticker to Quay Russo, the lone guy on
10:26
Speaker 1: defense that got one. Certainly not that he was the
10:28
Speaker 1: only guy that played good. There were some other performances.
10:31
Speaker 1: But if you're looking at this defense today, I didn't
10:34
Speaker 1: think there was really many standout performances today on the defense,
10:37
Speaker 1: despite the defense as a whole playing quite well. Right.
10:41
Speaker 1: They played pretty damn well. When you look at Michigan
10:43
Speaker 1: last week against Iowa, Michigan held Iowa to two point
10:47
Speaker 1: three yards of carry. So coming into today's game, I
10:51
Speaker 1: was at home and I'm sitting here thinking, well, there's
10:54
Speaker 1: no way the Buckeyes are going to be able to
10:55
Speaker 1: do as good as Michigan was able to do against
10:57
Speaker 1: them for the, you know, against the run. But if
11:01
Speaker 1: they can, you know, keep it under four, four and
11:03
Speaker 1: a half, then certainly they got a really good chance
11:05
Speaker 1: to win. And that's probably a pretty good, no, not
11:08
Speaker 1: less than two, less than two yards of carry. The
11:11
Speaker 1: Buckeyes held these guys to in their own place. That's wild, man.
11:15
Speaker 1: That's really, really great run defenses. And Quay Russo was
11:19
Speaker 1: certainly a big part of that. This defense is Jekyll
11:23
Speaker 1: and Hyde, though. When you look at some of the
11:26
Speaker 1: other things that they did, there's just some there's some breakdowns, man.
11:29
Speaker 1: And there's just some you know, and I think, again,
11:31
Speaker 1: I talked about this a couple of weeks ago, but
11:34
Speaker 1: I expected naively for this team to kind of come
11:37
Speaker 1: in and look a little more polished than they did
11:40
Speaker 1: this season. And it's clear that it's just going to
11:43
Speaker 1: continue to be a learning process together that they're going
11:46
Speaker 1: to have. and they're going to take that into the
11:49
Speaker 1: second half of the season because they're not ready yet.
11:52
Speaker 1: They certainly have a long way to go, and I
11:54
Speaker 1: think that the best part about that is when we
11:56
Speaker 1: look around the country, a whole lot of programs like
11:59
Speaker 1: Ohio State are just now learning how to deal with
12:02
Speaker 1: having massive turnover and having a defensive coordinator who's got
12:06
Speaker 1: a bunch of new guys and trying to figure out
12:07
Speaker 1: what's the best way to go about it with these
12:09
Speaker 1: guys against this matchup. Who can do what? It's not
12:12
Speaker 1: dialed in, man. It's far from dialed in, but I
12:14
Speaker 1: will say looking at the defense today, Matt Patricia, was better,
12:19
Speaker 1: certainly better. They probably ran a little more man than
12:22
Speaker 1: they should have, but the run fits and the alignment
12:25
Speaker 1: issues that they had against Illinois. Remember, we're coming off
12:28
Speaker 1: a 199-yard rushing game against Illinois, and you come in
12:33
Speaker 1: here and you limit these guys to, what would they
12:36
Speaker 1: rush for? Less than 40 yards, 39 yards? Obviously, an
12:40
Speaker 1: unbelievable improvement there. And a big shout-out, not just to
12:45
Speaker 1: Matty P, but to the guys who took it seriously.
12:47
Speaker 1: We are definitely going to get the pass rush heated up,
12:51
Speaker 1: and they did. And certainly we're going to try to
12:54
Speaker 1: limit these guys in yards, and they did. Now, let's
12:57
Speaker 1: talk about something that really irked the heck out of everybody,
13:01
Speaker 1: I'm sure. The amount of penalties we saw. You can
13:05
Speaker 1: understand a couple of those false starts early when this
13:07
Speaker 1: place was rocking. And when I say it was rocking,
13:10
Speaker 1: it was rocking. This is an awesome stadium. I mean,
13:13
Speaker 1: I can't say enough good things about it. So much
13:16
Speaker 1: better than Texas. It's just amazing. I love it here.
13:20
Speaker 1: I was thinking early in this game, like, man, if
13:22
Speaker 1: this were, you know, the home stadium for my favorite team,
13:25
Speaker 1: I would be very, very happy about it. Not that
13:28
Speaker 1: I would trade, but I really like it. And I
13:30
Speaker 1: love the environment and the atmosphere, but we did see
13:34
Speaker 1: Gabe Van Sickle and Austin Saravan have a false start
13:39
Speaker 1: early on. And then we saw both of them have
13:41
Speaker 1: another one later on. That's totally unacceptable. This is obviously
13:46
Speaker 1: the other offensive line formation, right? We've talked about, and
13:50
Speaker 1: we've talked plenty of times throughout the year about the
13:52
Speaker 1: first one, which is Phil Daniels, who started game number
13:56
Speaker 1: one against Ball State, game number two against Texas, gets
14:00
Speaker 1: injured towards the end of the Texas game, and now
14:02
Speaker 1: we're looking at the other option here with Gabe Van Sickle,
14:06
Speaker 1: with Phil Daniels, and these two can't be doing this, man.
14:10
Speaker 1: This is their third game together. It's unacceptable, and Austin
14:13
Speaker 1: Sarabelle is certainly... as the guy that he is on
14:16
Speaker 1: this team, the leader that he is on this team,
14:18
Speaker 1: the captain, the iron Buckeye multiple times, absolutely unacceptable for
14:23
Speaker 1: him to have multiple false start penalties, but man, he
14:26
Speaker 1: wasn't the only one. There were penalties galore, penalties galore
14:30
Speaker 1: in this game. Luckily it wasn't for too many yards total,
14:35
Speaker 1: but it's just, you know, you can't have it now.
14:37
Speaker 1: One or two of those already, or one or two
14:42
Speaker 1: of those on Saturday, on the game. Certainly the one
14:45
Speaker 1: on Devin Sanchez, one of the, uh, pass interference penalties
14:49
Speaker 1: on Devin Sanchez. The first one I thought was just
14:52
Speaker 1: total trash, absolute trash penalty. And was, uh, interesting when
14:57
Speaker 1: I was watching the broadcast there, they didn't even show
15:00
Speaker 1: the replay on that. They were showing the replay on
15:02
Speaker 1: something else, but I thought that was certainly a garbage one. And, um,
15:07
Speaker 1: as we move on, um, to some other notes here, uh,
15:12
Speaker 1: the defense. So, uh, Hank Brown, who did a relatively
15:16
Speaker 1: good job against Michigan last week, but showed he had
15:18
Speaker 1: some accuracy issues. We certainly could see those today as
15:22
Speaker 1: he was 17 of 32, just 53%. And on 120
15:27
Speaker 1: yards of field, I picked the one spot where there's
15:29
Speaker 1: people working right around me. I don't know how I
15:31
Speaker 1: did this, but I managed to do it. Gave up
15:35
Speaker 1: 15 first downs, 15 first downs on the day, which
15:40
Speaker 1: that's not great. considering they were able to kind of
15:43
Speaker 1: bottle up the run game so much. You'd like to
15:46
Speaker 1: see him give up far fewer first downs than that.
15:49
Speaker 1: But let's talk special teams for a second. This is
15:55
Speaker 1: Connor Hawkins, the big time, the big time signee field
16:01
Speaker 1: goal kicker who comes in from Baylor. Everybody's all excited
16:04
Speaker 1: about Connor Hawkins. Connor Hawkins today played his third FBS game, sorry,
16:12
Speaker 1: third power four game here for the Buckeyes, but his
16:15
Speaker 1: second big game, right? First one was in Austin. This
16:18
Speaker 1: was his second big game. It wasn't a big game.
16:21
Speaker 1: And in Connor Hawkins' second big game, he choked another
16:25
Speaker 1: field goal. There's no other way to say it. A 40-yarder,
16:28
Speaker 1: he missed it again. And I don't know if it's
16:32
Speaker 1: a curse with Ohio State kickers, but by all rights,
16:34
Speaker 1: this guy was much better at Baylor. I don't know
16:37
Speaker 1: what this is, but it's unacceptable. when you lump it
16:40
Speaker 1: with the rest of the special teams, which were also
16:42
Speaker 1: not good enough, not good enough. Again, it seems like
16:47
Speaker 1: it's a broken record. I sound like a broken record.
16:49
Speaker 1: You all do too, because I'm sure everybody's with me
16:52
Speaker 1: here with the constant irritation, losing the special teams battle
16:55
Speaker 1: every week and, you know, gambling and doing it against Iowa,
17:00
Speaker 1: really a bad idea. But certainly we saw Phil Bell
17:04
Speaker 1: not fielding some, some punts when he probably should have.
17:09
Speaker 1: And then when he shouldn't have, he goes and fields
17:11
Speaker 1: that one when it's dangerous and there's danger all around him.
17:15
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. You go out and you
17:17
Speaker 1: bring in Robbie Disher, who was a really premier special
17:22
Speaker 1: teams coach. You get him from Illinois. He comes in
17:25
Speaker 1: and it's the same thing, man. It's the same exact thing.
17:28
Speaker 1: Everybody's special teams is better than Ohio State's every week.
17:31
Speaker 1: Like the opponent is better every week. It drives me nuts.
17:36
Speaker 1: But all in all, man, I'm not going to harp
17:38
Speaker 1: on anything today because what we got here was an
17:42
Speaker 1: awesome win, a top 15 win that a lot of
17:45
Speaker 1: people were saying Iowa was potentially going to win this game.
17:49
Speaker 1: We heard it all week that Iowa was going to
17:51
Speaker 1: win this game or certainly get in that 14 and
17:54
Speaker 1: a half points. The Buckeyes not just win, but win
17:56
Speaker 1: in cover. And, you know, they did it running the
18:00
Speaker 1: ball 47 times and passing it just 27, which is
18:03
Speaker 1: certainly wild as Tom and Tony have are setting up
18:08
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get it to them here pretty soon
18:10
Speaker 1: here guys, but I do wanna get to some of
18:12
Speaker 1: your comments and see what you guys had to say.
18:15
Speaker 1: As we go ahead and shed, we can pull up
18:18
Speaker 1: our Julian saying graphic, cause I wanna take a look
18:21
Speaker 1: at what Julian did on paper here. Robert Howard. So
18:34
Speaker 1: Julian saying 18 for 23 on the day, for 297
18:39
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. And Julian was pretty sharp, man. He
18:43
Speaker 1: was pretty sharp. You know, the interesting thing was one
18:46
Speaker 1: of my pregame thoughts was, is playmaker saying going to travel?
18:51
Speaker 1: We saw a playmaker saying last week, and this was
18:55
Speaker 1: kind of the first time last week against Illinois, that
18:58
Speaker 1: we saw Julian kind of look to get out of
19:02
Speaker 1: the pocket, escape out of the pocket and really run.
19:06
Speaker 1: And I think I looked at Tony in the third
19:08
Speaker 1: quarter and I said, all right, man, that's a little
19:12
Speaker 1: too much. I mean, like we've been begging for this forever.
19:16
Speaker 1: And now certainly we saw it nonstop. And it was wild, man.
19:22
Speaker 1: It was absolutely wild to see him bust out of
19:24
Speaker 1: the pocket like four or five times today. Obviously didn't
19:28
Speaker 1: get a ton of yardage on those, but made a
19:30
Speaker 1: play here or there. And the willingness to do it
19:34
Speaker 1: is different. The willingness to do it feels much different
19:37
Speaker 1: than it ever has before up until last week. And
19:39
Speaker 1: it felt like he was even more willing this week.
19:42
Speaker 1: And he got himself out of a couple sacks as well.
19:45
Speaker 1: uh so that was fantastic and good on him as
19:48
Speaker 1: robert says i thought isaiah looked better than those numbers
19:51
Speaker 1: too chuck so uh thank you robert i appreciate that
19:54
Speaker 1: uh keith feels the gay band sickle might be back
19:57
Speaker 1: on the bench next week when daniels is ready um
20:00
Speaker 1: you know i'll be honest i felt that he actually
20:04
Speaker 1: performed just as good today as luke montgomery did i
20:06
Speaker 1: thought the guards struggled today um to be honest. But,
20:10
Speaker 1: you know, again, that's just in real time without watching
20:14
Speaker 1: even the TV copy. And my view, you know, in
20:16
Speaker 1: the press box is not even as good as a
20:18
Speaker 1: TV copy, which I'm not watching. Ethan Maxfield is on
20:21
Speaker 1: board with Jacoby being running back number one. Who got
20:26
Speaker 1: that first interception? Just remember McLean got the second interception. Oh, geez.
20:32
Speaker 1: I can't really recall. Hinsman, I don't really think is
20:36
Speaker 1: a tall center, but I don't know if I don't
20:38
Speaker 1: know what he's listed at, but looking at him compared
20:40
Speaker 1: to the rest of the guys. He's not a very
20:41
Speaker 1: tall center, by the way, ran into his family today.
20:43
Speaker 1: Awesome folks. Um, uh, like five massive, uh, Wisconsin dudes
20:48
Speaker 1: all wearing the Hinsman Jersey. Um, our defense doesn't know
20:53
Speaker 1: what to do with tight ends as Tiff. Uh, you
20:57
Speaker 1: know what? It is better dealing with tight ends than
20:59
Speaker 1: the last time we were here, guys. This was a
21:01
Speaker 1: sweet man. I feel great about this. The revenge, uh,
21:06
Speaker 1: after the last time coming in here it's just awesome
21:08
Speaker 1: and the you know order is restored again as this
21:12
Speaker 1: Buckeye team that is uh you know learning itself learning
21:17
Speaker 1: how to deal with each other but still at the
21:18
Speaker 1: same time has just the most unbelievable weapon in college
21:22
Speaker 1: football uh and here we go with the passing yardage
21:26
Speaker 1: 324 to 199 total yardage I mean that's just a
21:29
Speaker 1: molly whopping 484 to 238 24 first downs for the Buckeyes.
21:35
Speaker 1: It didn't feel like that to me watching that, you know,
21:38
Speaker 1: and it's funny sometimes when you look at this after
21:40
Speaker 1: the fact, I certainly did not feel like there were
21:43
Speaker 1: 24 first downs from the Buckeye offense in that game.
21:45
Speaker 1: That's great, man. You got to feel great about that
21:47
Speaker 1: red zone. You score four out of six possessions. The
21:51
Speaker 1: penalties nine for 49, which again, when we look at
21:53
Speaker 1: the yardage, it's the same as Iowa's, but you did
21:56
Speaker 1: have three more penalties in that time of possession. Unbelievable.
22:01
Speaker 1: 38 to 250 or 2158, which is just a whole
22:07
Speaker 1: lot more. What else do we got here? Yes, the
22:12
Speaker 1: first turnover was the fumble by the fumble that Kenyatta
22:15
Speaker 1: Jackson caused and Christian Allegro swooped up. Mark says, why
22:22
Speaker 1: do we seem to have problems picking up blitzers off
22:25
Speaker 1: the edge? Boy, we saw one was just abysmal. And
22:30
Speaker 1: I don't know whose responsibility it was. I didn't get
22:32
Speaker 1: to see the replay. But in real time, it was
22:35
Speaker 1: Ian Moore chasing him from behind. But it didn't seem
22:38
Speaker 1: like it would have been his responsibility. He was just
22:40
Speaker 1: trying to clean it up after the fact. But as
22:44
Speaker 1: Tom and Tony are just about ready here to join
22:47
Speaker 1: you guys, we'll go over a couple more of your
22:49
Speaker 1: questions here. Chip says, thanks, Chuck. A lot of good
22:56
Speaker 1: points and enthusiasm for you. I think it's important. because
22:59
Speaker 1: we come on here sometimes and we can go over
23:02
Speaker 1: all the negative things and there's always negative things, but man,
23:05
Speaker 1: this feels great. The Buckeyes were doubted all week. And
23:10
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people you guys talk or
23:13
Speaker 1: what you look to. I went on a show this
23:14
Speaker 1: week and I, I thought Ohio state was going to
23:17
Speaker 1: win this game by about 17 points. And the host
23:19
Speaker 1: of the show tried to like browbeat me into changing
23:22
Speaker 1: my pick that I'm not respecting Iowa enough. Like, no, bud,
23:26
Speaker 1: I just think this Buckeye team's that much better than
23:29
Speaker 1: the Iowa team. And that's, that's my pick and I'm
23:31
Speaker 1: sticking with it. And they came and they backed it up.
23:34
Speaker 1: So I was very happy about that. By the way,
23:36
Speaker 1: I almost got the final score predicted, uh, spot on.
23:39
Speaker 1: I think, I don't know. That's what Tony told me.
23:41
Speaker 1: I never remember what I pick. Um, once I get
23:44
Speaker 1: up there in a booth, uh, but an awesome time here, man.
23:48
Speaker 1: An awesome time in Iowa. I would certainly come back
23:53
Speaker 1: here anytime. Ethan Maxfield says, Allegro, Petty John, and Alfred
23:59
Speaker 1: at linebacker. I thought that there were certainly some plays
24:03
Speaker 1: earlier that I noticed, and again, I've not broken down
24:05
Speaker 1: the whole game, but certainly some plays I noticed early
24:08
Speaker 1: where one of them I think was one of the
24:10
Speaker 1: first scrambles that Hank made, and he ended up getting
24:16
Speaker 1: probably four or five more yards than he should have
24:19
Speaker 1: because Peyton Pierce couldn't get off his block and attack him. Instead,
24:22
Speaker 1: he got off his block, moving backwards and caught him.
24:26
Speaker 1: And I think I saw maybe two of those plays
24:28
Speaker 1: back to back and it's bothersome, but at the same time,
24:31
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really, you know, I'd have to
24:35
Speaker 1: watch it all to see if we had any instances
24:37
Speaker 1: of that from the other guys as well. We know
24:39
Speaker 1: what the deal is, man. At some point, that's most
24:42
Speaker 1: likely what's going to happen. He'll get less and less snaps.
24:44
Speaker 1: And the younger guys will get more and more if
24:46
Speaker 1: they continue to improve. But all in all, I really
24:50
Speaker 1: can't say for sure other than stats because it's moving
24:55
Speaker 1: really fast in the middle of the game to be
24:57
Speaker 1: able to say, all right, this guy played a really
25:00
Speaker 1: great game. This guy played a so-so game. But certainly
25:04
Speaker 1: we will review the film and you know you can
25:06
Speaker 1: join us on Buckeye Insiders throughout the week, every week.
25:09
Speaker 1: Nobody does like we do when it comes to not
25:13
Speaker 1: just talking about narratives, but bringing on people who explain,
25:17
Speaker 1: this is what I saw in the film. Let me
25:19
Speaker 1: break it down for a novice that doesn't understand it.
25:22
Speaker 1: And now let me give you the narrative that I
25:24
Speaker 1: think based on what this says, and then we all
25:27
Speaker 1: really know what's going on, which I think is a
25:29
Speaker 1: much better way to have an argument when we all
25:32
Speaker 1: have the same understanding. Okay, we've all seen this now
25:34
Speaker 1: that we've all seen this. Now let's talk about it.
25:36
Speaker 1: And it was, you know, it's always refreshing to have
25:39
Speaker 1: that knowledge rather than just hearing people pop off at
25:42
Speaker 1: the mouth and saying things that are totally not true.
25:45
Speaker 1: So nobody does that like we do at Buckeye Insiders.
25:47
Speaker 1: And you guys, all we appreciate you watching here on
25:50
Speaker 1: our YouTube channel. We would certainly appreciate it if you
25:53
Speaker 1: would subscribe here to our YouTube channel. And of course,
25:56
Speaker 1: we would appreciate it if you'd follow our socials, but
25:59
Speaker 1: really join us over at BuckeyeInsiders.com where you can join
26:03
Speaker 1: the board and talk to me and Tom and Tony.

26:10
Speaker 1: And Justin Whitlock. Those are our three schematic insiders. You
26:13
Speaker 1: can ask them questions, whatever you want. They're right there
26:15
Speaker 1: to answer them. And we're kind of like a big,
26:19
Speaker 1: you know, big group of friends that is just talking football,
26:22
Speaker 1: Buckeye football, college football in general, movies, whatever you're watching.
26:26
Speaker 1: And it goes on all day, right? So join us
26:29
Speaker 1: over there at Buckeye Insiders. It's like $ 10, $ 11 a month.
26:34
Speaker 1: And you'll love it, man. You'll love it. I think
26:36
Speaker 1: if you're someone who likes this kind of stuff, the
26:38
Speaker 1: way I know a lot of you do, the way
26:39
Speaker 1: I do, I've been a member to these kind of
26:43
Speaker 1: things for years and years and years. So it's just
26:45
Speaker 1: kind of how I get down. And if you're someone
26:47
Speaker 1: who likes to talk ball like that, you will certainly
26:49
Speaker 1: enjoy this one probably more than any other. And there's
26:51
Speaker 1: also a couple out there you may be familiar with,
26:54
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of contention arguing and just kind
26:57
Speaker 1: of jerks who like to rile things up and some
26:59
Speaker 1: administrators who just let that happen. It's not the way
27:02
Speaker 1: it is. No, we don't have to get nasty with
27:04
Speaker 1: anybody and be rude and get them out of there,
27:06
Speaker 1: but we will, if we do have to, because, the
27:10
Speaker 1: community that we have there is better than any you've
27:12
Speaker 1: ever seen. I promise you that. And we stand on that.
27:15
Speaker 1: So back to you guys. And let me check on
27:18
Speaker 1: my guys who are still not in front of their
27:22
Speaker 1: camera here. Are you guys having an issue? You guys
27:26
Speaker 1: could go there. They are there in front of their camera.
27:28
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm looking at the wrong camera. I'm looking
27:30
Speaker 1: at the wrong box. Okay. There's my guys. We got
27:33
Speaker 1: Tom and Tony on the other side of the field.
27:34
Speaker 1: Fellas take it away.
