- 0:19Speaker 1: On Today Show, you're going to get to hear a
- 0:20Speaker 1: little bit from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day. Had
- 0:23Speaker 1: some interesting stuff to say after the game. Funny lines
- 0:28Speaker 1: as well. Kind of get get Ryan Day getting a
- 0:30Speaker 1: little loose after the game. You're gonna get a dumb
- 0:32Speaker 1: and dumber quote in here. Believe it or not. It
- 0:34Speaker 1: was quite a postgame press conference. But you go forty
- 0:37Speaker 1: two unanswered points to beat Minnesota forty two to three. Yeah,
- 0:41Speaker 1: you can feel pretty okay about life. So all right,
- 0:45Speaker 1: we'll start before we get into the more fun stuff.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Let's start with something a little more serious. An update
- 0:50Speaker 1: on Kenyata Jackson. He left the game in the first half,
- 0:53Speaker 1: did not return, came out without pads on in the
- 0:56Speaker 1: second half. An update on him, and then Ryan Day's
- 0:59Speaker 1: thoughts on ZII, Grady and some of the other young
- 1:01Speaker 1: guys who had to step in for Jackson.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good to see can you out up
- 1:06Speaker 2: and moving around and you know, cheering on his supporting
- 1:09Speaker 2: his teammates during the game. So we'll take a look
- 1:12Speaker 2: at it, but you know, and have an update hopefully soon.
- 1:17Speaker 2: But I think for yeah, to see Zion make a play,
- 1:21Speaker 2: Jark Wes is in the backfield, this saw Logan make
- 1:23Speaker 2: some plays. Every time you're on the field, it's an
- 1:26Speaker 2: opportunity and we're all looking to build trust and when
- 1:29Speaker 2: we put you in the game, the players need to
- 1:33Speaker 2: build trust in each other's but you're also building trust
- 1:35Speaker 2: in the coaches and so whatever you do with the opportunity,
- 1:40Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta take advantage of it. And I
- 1:43Speaker 2: thought the second offense went out there and went down
- 1:45Speaker 2: the field, that was a great opportunity to go out
- 1:47Speaker 2: there and Lincoln after I'm we'll get into the details
- 1:51Speaker 2: of the first run. You know, we gave him another
- 1:55Speaker 2: opportunity to redeem himself, Like in Dumber and Dumber, totally
- 1:58Speaker 2: redeemed himself. So so that was good to see, but
- 2:02Speaker 2: I thought, you know, some of those guys, it was
- 2:05Speaker 2: good to see them get in the game and then
- 2:06Speaker 2: take advantage of their opportunity.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Now, that was a very long answer, but I will
- 2:10Speaker 1: remind you at the beginning we were talking about Diane
- 2:13Speaker 1: Grady and some of the young guys who stepped in
- 2:15Speaker 1: in kenyaut of Jackson's absence. One of the reasons those
- 2:17Speaker 1: guys had to step in is because CJ.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Hicks.
- 2:20Speaker 1: He is going to be taking a red shirt this season,
- 2:22Speaker 1: according to a report from Stephen Means of Cleveland dot Com. Now,
- 2:26Speaker 1: he could still play more in the College Football Playoff,
- 2:28Speaker 1: but he has played in his four regular season games,
- 2:31Speaker 1: so now he's planning for now to sit those out.
- 2:33Speaker 1: That is obviously subject to change, and he could step
- 2:36Speaker 1: in and play at any time. Malie Cartford's safety he
- 2:40Speaker 1: is also planning on taking a red shirt this year.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Now this is I think everyone hears that and immediately says, well,
- 2:46Speaker 1: they're going to transfer. That's that's what that means. Not necessarily,
- 2:49Speaker 1: they're both just sort of saving a year of eligibility
- 2:52Speaker 1: and a year where they're not starting. So that's the
- 2:55Speaker 1: update on those guys. We may have a show where
- 2:57Speaker 1: we talk about that stuff in a little more detail.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Just wanted to kind of mention it now, just so
- 3:00Speaker 1: you sort of know what's going on in case you
- 3:02Speaker 1: didn't see that report from Stephen earlier on Sunday. So
- 3:05Speaker 1: all right, now on to Julian saying he completed eighty
- 3:09Speaker 1: five percent of his passes three hundred and twenty six yards,
- 3:12Speaker 1: three touchdowns against the Gophers, including yes, the long awaited
- 3:16Speaker 1: deep shots. They kind of let him heave a couple
- 3:19Speaker 1: downfield and he had some real success throwing the ball deep.
- 3:23Speaker 1: They've been pretty deliberate about it, sort of bringing him
- 3:25Speaker 1: along slowly and gradually and letting him not trying to
- 3:29Speaker 1: have him do too much in some of the early games.
- 3:32Speaker 1: But now it seems like there's sort of taken the
- 3:35Speaker 1: restrictor plate off a little bit. So what is it
- 3:38Speaker 1: that makes Julian say in special now this ends up
- 3:41Speaker 1: this answer ends up sort of turning into a conversation
- 3:43Speaker 1: about the whole passing game.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I think you're seeing his confidence improve every week. And
- 3:51Speaker 2: you know, how we do it is everything's thought out,
- 3:56Speaker 2: not everything always goes to plan, but we're very the
- 4:00Speaker 2: about how, you know, we try to bring along our
- 4:03Speaker 2: our quarterbacks sometimes, you know, we have to maybe put
- 4:07Speaker 2: them in situations that they're maybe not ready for. But
- 4:10Speaker 2: when you have a defense like we do right now
- 4:12Speaker 2: that's playing the way we do, you can bring them
- 4:15Speaker 2: along in a certain way. And you're seeing every week
- 4:17Speaker 2: Julian play with more and more confidence, you know, and
- 4:20Speaker 2: we wanted to put more on his plate this week.
- 4:23Speaker 2: We felt like he had a good week of practice.
- 4:25Speaker 2: And I can't say enough about you know, Carnel Tate,
- 4:29Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith, Brandon and this Max Claire. All of these
- 4:33Speaker 2: guys are very prideful, all of them want the ball,
- 4:36Speaker 2: all of them, you know, have expectations. And to see
- 4:41Speaker 2: the unselfishness each week of a bunch of guys that
- 4:44Speaker 2: just want to win, like that's winning football in a
- 4:46Speaker 2: day and age that it's it, you know, there's a
- 4:48Speaker 2: lot that's going on. I think, you know, I don't
- 4:52Speaker 2: think it's even close that Jeremiah Smith is the best
- 4:54Speaker 2: offensive player in college football. If it's close, I'd like
- 4:57Speaker 2: to know who it is. But but when you're a receiver,
- 5:01Speaker 2: it you know, it's different than when you're a quarterback,
- 5:04Speaker 2: and you know, coverage can dictate different things. But but
- 5:07Speaker 2: Jeremiah just keeps playing over and over again, has an
- 5:10Speaker 2: unbelievable attitude, and I know the fans appreciate that. But
- 5:14Speaker 2: it's also good to hear I think from US coaches,
- 5:18Speaker 2: just you know how he practices every day. And the
- 5:20Speaker 2: same thing with Carnell. Carnell is seeing Jeremiah do a
- 5:22Speaker 2: lot of different things and and now you're seeing Carnell
- 5:25Speaker 2: take the next step. But like he does that every
- 5:26Speaker 2: day in practice. He does a lot of the dirty work,
- 5:28Speaker 2: he does a lot of the blocking, and now you're
- 5:30Speaker 2: seeing him show up. I thought Max played better, you know,
- 5:33Speaker 2: made some made made some better blocks, and it made
- 5:36Speaker 2: some plays downfield. So he's really coming into his own.
- 5:39Speaker 2: But to your point with Julian, I thought some of
- 5:42Speaker 2: the throws downfield were very very accurate, made good decisions. Again,
- 5:45Speaker 2: saw it well. But you know when you could be
- 5:49Speaker 2: accurate underneath and get the ball out quick, but then
- 5:52Speaker 2: also down the field, that's when our offense can really
- 5:55Speaker 2: be clicking on all cylinders. So we're gonna watch this
- 5:58Speaker 2: film and see some things that were frustrated with. We
- 6:00Speaker 2: know where we need to go and got to keep
- 6:02Speaker 2: getting better. You keep hearing me talk about that, because
- 6:04Speaker 2: that's just the way it goes. You have to upgrade
- 6:05Speaker 2: every week. But I do think that Julian's confidence is building,
- 6:09Speaker 2: and I think his teammates, you know, their confidence in
- 6:13Speaker 2: him have continued to build over time. And again I
- 6:17Speaker 2: give the offensive line credit for working and straining to
- 6:19Speaker 2: give him time back there. I give you the running
- 6:21Speaker 2: backs credit for their protection, and also the receivers for
- 6:24Speaker 2: their work every day in practice, because that's how it works,
- 6:27Speaker 2: that's how teams get better, and so we have to
- 6:31Speaker 2: continue to recognize that because it's not normal, and that,
- 6:36Speaker 2: to me is what's going to make the difference for
- 6:37Speaker 2: where we need to be.
- 6:39Speaker 1: One of the big pieces of that success on Saturday
- 6:41Speaker 1: night for thee Ohio State passing game was Carneal Tait
- 6:43Speaker 1: nine catches, one hundred and eighty three yards and a touchdown,
- 6:47Speaker 1: three catches of more than forty yards. He was a
- 6:50Speaker 1: big piece of that downfield passing game. So was that
- 6:54Speaker 1: sort of an intentional thing to sort of emphasize Carnell
- 6:58Speaker 1: Tait a little bit just to remind teams, hey, you
- 7:01Speaker 1: can't just double or triple or quadruple Jeremiah Smith. There
- 7:05Speaker 1: are other guys on this team that can beat you.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Someone can say, hey, you know, we're gonna put four
- 7:10Speaker 2: guys on Jeremiah. I mean, you could do it, you know,
- 7:13Speaker 2: and and he has to go out there and play.
- 7:16Speaker 2: And when you have someone like Carnell and Max and
- 7:19Speaker 2: our running backs who then you know, and we'll get
- 7:22Speaker 2: the running game going, then you have to figure out
- 7:24Speaker 2: how you want to make these adjustments and then it
- 7:26Speaker 2: opens things back up for Jeremiah. So when you have
- 7:29Speaker 2: mature guys who understand that, then that gives you a
- 7:31Speaker 2: chance as well. And so we have to continue to
- 7:33Speaker 2: communicate that and make sure they understand. But but yeah,
- 7:36Speaker 2: I mean, when when you know there's more attention over here,
- 7:40Speaker 2: it's great to see the fact that we can we
- 7:42Speaker 2: can utilize it over there. When you can't, that's when
- 7:44Speaker 2: you're in trouble. So that's why we have to make
- 7:46Speaker 2: sure we're balanced in the end.
- 7:48Speaker 1: One of the other wide receivers who can beat you
- 7:50Speaker 1: on this Ohio State team is Brandon Innis. He was
- 7:54Speaker 1: back at punt returner again against Minnesota after the fumble
- 7:57Speaker 1: that he had against Washington last week. He also on
- 8:01Speaker 1: Saturday Night had one of the kind of signature plays
- 8:04Speaker 1: of the game, sort of a throwback on the on
- 8:08Speaker 1: the punt return, sort of Music City miracle style, almost
- 8:11Speaker 1: on a punt return across the field to Lorenzo style.
- 8:15Speaker 2: So what was it.
- 8:16Speaker 1: That me and that gave Ohio States coaches faith faith
- 8:19Speaker 1: in Brandon and us after that fumble last week?
- 8:21Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon is a is a captain, he is a competitor,
- 8:25Speaker 2: he's a baller, and nobody was sicker than him about
- 8:28Speaker 2: that fumble. If we didn't see the type of play
- 8:31Speaker 2: and the attention to detail and the discip one every
- 8:33Speaker 2: day in practice, then we maybe would have thought about it.
- 8:35Speaker 2: But that was never in a consideration. I thought he
- 8:37Speaker 2: had a nice return there, just missed maybe make it
- 8:40Speaker 2: breaking it for more. But you know, he's he's a
- 8:43Speaker 2: guy who played quarterback because out of necessity in high school.
- 8:47Speaker 2: And we saw something that we liked in Lorenzo. You'll
- 8:51Speaker 2: play wide receiver under name, as you know, and so
- 8:54Speaker 2: we thought that maybe if we had the right look,
- 8:56Speaker 2: in the right situation and the right hash, that we
- 8:57Speaker 2: could set something up. Doesn't always work the way you
- 9:00Speaker 2: draw it up, but it was good to see the
- 9:02Speaker 2: guys execute it and put it on the field because
- 9:04Speaker 2: when you can be you can use special teams as
- 9:07Speaker 2: an advantage like that, and I think it was was
- 9:09Speaker 2: just under forty yards of field position. That's a big
- 9:12Speaker 2: return for us. So, you know, we got to keep
- 9:15Speaker 2: trying to figure out ways to make an impact on
- 9:17Speaker 2: special teams. But that was well executed.
- 9:19Speaker 1: When you see a play like that, a great trick
- 9:21Speaker 1: play that ends up really paying off, and they're using
- 9:24Speaker 1: it in a game where they're up by a bunch
- 9:26Speaker 1: already against an opponent that's pretty clearly outmatched, I think
- 9:28Speaker 1: it's fair to wonder do they maybe save that play
- 9:32Speaker 1: and used it in a bigger, more you know, protectually
- 9:35Speaker 1: potentially more impactful spot. So all right, Ryan Day, do
- 9:38Speaker 1: you think about saving plays like that or is this
- 9:42Speaker 1: more about giving upcoming upcoming opponents something else to worry about.
- 9:46Speaker 2: When you when you put something in, it's like I've
- 9:50Speaker 2: done it before, you save it and it never gets run.
- 9:53Speaker 2: So it's like, you know, I feel like, let's go
- 9:55Speaker 2: up with something new for the next next time. You know,
- 9:57Speaker 2: let's have a couple of these different things that we
- 9:59Speaker 2: can go to based on situations, because you just never
- 10:02Speaker 2: know when these things are going to arise, and we
- 10:04Speaker 2: can't worry about the score of the opponent. It's about us.
- 10:06Speaker 2: So it's our job as coaches to be creative and
- 10:09Speaker 2: keep coming up with things that can help us be explosive.
- 10:11Speaker 2: And that's our job. But it's also good to see
- 10:16Speaker 2: those guys execute that kind of but it gives them
- 10:18Speaker 2: confidence to know that, you know, we can do other things.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Before the Buckeyes took the field for the game on
- 10:24Speaker 1: Saturday night, they had it on the scoreboard. They had
- 10:27Speaker 1: that Penn State Ucla game up during warm ups, and
- 10:30Speaker 1: Brian Day and the Ohio State coaching staff they were
- 10:33Speaker 1: watching the end of that game. They were aware of
- 10:36Speaker 1: exactly what happened to Penn State losing to previously winless Ucla. Now,
- 10:41Speaker 1: if you go back through the years, Ryan Day, he
- 10:44Speaker 1: hasn't really had a game like that. I mean, they
- 10:46Speaker 1: have certainly lost to some big fit underdogs from Michigan.
- 10:50Speaker 1: But that's a rivalry game. That's ay, throw the record
- 10:53Speaker 1: book out kind of game. Nobody's saying, Penn State Uclah,
- 10:56Speaker 1: you can throw the record bos at. That's not what
- 10:58Speaker 1: that is. That was just that was a bedpooping on
- 11:01Speaker 1: Saturday night from uh from Penn State out in out
- 11:05Speaker 1: in the Rose Bowl against UCLA. So what is it
- 11:09Speaker 1: that Ryan Day does or doesn't do that has helped
- 11:12Speaker 1: him avoid games like that?
- 11:15Speaker 2: The first thing is it has nothing to do with
- 11:18Speaker 2: our opponents. You've heard me say that before, and I
- 11:20Speaker 2: guess it sounds cliche and boring, but it's true. You know,
- 11:24Speaker 2: we don't like save things for you know, other opponents
- 11:28Speaker 2: because maybe we circle them on our It's about our
- 11:30Speaker 2: training and we believe that if we train harder than
- 11:33Speaker 2: anybody else else in the country and prepare harder than
- 11:35Speaker 2: anybody else in the country, that that shouldn't matter who
- 11:37Speaker 2: we play. And so this year it's been interesting because
- 11:40Speaker 2: you start with Texas and then you have Granmblin, then
- 11:42Speaker 2: you go Ohio, and then you go to Washington. Now
- 11:44Speaker 2: you're home against Minnesota. All of those weeks should have
- 11:47Speaker 2: been the same. How we train should be the same.
- 11:49Speaker 2: It's about us. The only people we believe that stuffed
- 11:51Speaker 2: us is us and that's the way we look at it.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Easier said than done. You have to have a bunch
- 11:56Speaker 2: of guys to buy into that and believe in it,
- 11:58Speaker 2: and you got to You got to credit the players
- 11:59Speaker 2: for showing up regardless of the opponent week in and
- 12:03Speaker 2: week out, And that, to me is what instance. If
- 12:06Speaker 2: you want to be great, you have to be great
- 12:07Speaker 2: all the time. Otherwise you're not great. You're just somebody
- 12:09Speaker 2: that shows up every week and you don't know what
- 12:12Speaker 2: you're getting. So that was a message to our team
- 12:16Speaker 2: because it's about an identity, you know, and if your
- 12:20Speaker 2: identity is you know that you want to be great,
- 12:23Speaker 2: that you want to be consistent, whatever those things are.
- 12:25Speaker 2: We have a list of what we want to be.
- 12:27Speaker 2: You have to do that every week. Otherwise that's not
- 12:29Speaker 2: who you are. It's just what you can be. And
- 12:32Speaker 2: we talk to our guys a lot about that, but
- 12:33Speaker 2: there has to be buy in, and I think our
- 12:36Speaker 2: guys do buy into that. Now doesn't mean anyth We
- 12:39Speaker 2: got to go on the road and against Illinois next week.
- 12:41Speaker 2: It's going to be a bear. You saw what happened
- 12:42Speaker 2: in college football today. You got to bring it every week.
- 12:44Speaker 2: And the team is desperate and the team that hungry
- 12:46Speaker 2: is going to win the game. And it's our job
- 12:48Speaker 2: to make sure it doesn't take a loss to make
- 12:49Speaker 2: sure we are hungry and desperate. But these guys are
- 12:52Speaker 2: still kids, and so you got to keep hammer at home.
- 12:55Speaker 2: But I do think the confidence is there, and I
- 12:57Speaker 2: do think even when you watch the their offense kind
- 12:59Speaker 2: of have the ball down the field early, there was
- 13:01Speaker 2: still no panic by the coaches, by the players, forced
- 13:04Speaker 2: them to three and then played great the rest of
- 13:06Speaker 2: the game.
- 13:07Speaker 1: You've heard Ryan Day talk during this press conference as
- 13:09Speaker 1: well as the midweek press conference about the focus and
- 13:12Speaker 1: needing to be at the top of their game, not
- 13:14Speaker 1: letting stuff slide, all that kind of stuff.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Has that talk.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Over the course of the week been a result of
- 13:21Speaker 1: stuff he's seen? Has he seen stuff? Are there seeing
- 13:23Speaker 1: issues on the practice field? Are they is there are
- 13:26Speaker 1: there concerns out there? Or is that more just of
- 13:29Speaker 1: an overall message always.
- 13:31Speaker 2: On alert, because it's I'm sure that you know, I've
- 13:36Speaker 2: been on I've been coaching now for a while, and
- 13:39Speaker 2: you know, just never want to be in a situation
- 13:41Speaker 2: where you go into a game and like a game
- 13:43Speaker 2: catches you off guard because you know you felt like,
- 13:46Speaker 2: you know you weren't on it, that you weren't hungry
- 13:50Speaker 2: and desperate, because when you watch teams that are that way,
- 13:53Speaker 2: you see what you get and so that to me
- 13:56Speaker 2: is important to figure out, how do you have that mentality.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Yet when you keep winning, it's easy to take the
- 14:01Speaker 2: problems and the issues and just say, you know, it's
- 14:04Speaker 2: not a problem. Like I'll just say it. You know,
- 14:07Speaker 2: like Bo Jackson reaches the ball out on second down,
- 14:10Speaker 2: that that's a problem. We should not be reaching the
- 14:12Speaker 2: ball out. That's gonna be a fumble down the road.
- 14:13Speaker 2: I'm just gonna call it out for what it is, Like,
- 14:15Speaker 2: that's an issue. And if the ball is fumbled, then
- 14:17Speaker 2: we're in a different situation right now. And so we
- 14:19Speaker 2: have to recognize the things that we need to get better.
- 14:21Speaker 2: At the third and two, Lincoln should have been in
- 14:24Speaker 2: the a gap. He bounced it like that. That's going
- 14:26Speaker 2: to lose us a game if we don't recognize how
- 14:28Speaker 2: important those things are. I love those guys, but we
- 14:31Speaker 2: got to get them fixed. And really that goes to
- 14:32Speaker 2: the coaches. We got to get that straightened out. We
- 14:34Speaker 2: got to practice it better, we got to drill it better.
- 14:36Speaker 2: We got to hold them accountable. So those are the
- 14:38Speaker 2: things that you know, when you're chasing greatness, you have
- 14:40Speaker 2: to be all over and you got to take them serious.
- 14:42Speaker 2: And it can't be. It can't be after a loss
- 14:44Speaker 2: when all of a sudden, everybody start sitting sitting up
- 14:46Speaker 2: straight in meetings, or you're gonna get you're gonna get burnt. So,
- 14:50Speaker 2: like they say in the Navy Seals, when you think
- 14:52Speaker 2: you got it, you're about to get it. And we're
- 14:53Speaker 2: far from from from where we need to be, so
- 14:56Speaker 2: we have to stay hungry every day.
- 14:58Speaker 1: And finally, it's always fascinating me that something like this,
- 15:02Speaker 1: this was the last question of the press conference, Ryan Day,
- 15:05Speaker 1: this is potentially this enormous stat this incredible fact, And
- 15:10Speaker 1: you could watch him react to the question as it
- 15:13Speaker 1: was asked, and it was kind of watching him process.
- 15:15Speaker 2: It was pretty crazy.
- 15:16Speaker 1: But you know, he passed Newt Rockney Notre Dame head
- 15:20Speaker 1: coach Nut Rockney as the winningest coach in college football
- 15:24Speaker 1: history percentage wise, ever, period, full stop. Now it is
- 15:28Speaker 1: not official yet. The official record is you have to
- 15:31Speaker 1: coach ten full years days only on the year seven,
- 15:34Speaker 1: so he's not there yet. But still, what does that
- 15:39Speaker 1: mean to hear? Yes, you've just passed Newt Rockney as
- 15:42Speaker 1: the winningest coach in college football history.
- 15:45Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that up because this is the
- 15:46Speaker 2: last game I'll ever be coaching at Ohio State. I'm
- 15:50Speaker 2: going to hang it up and that's it. I'm going
- 15:52Speaker 2: to do a walk off right now. I appreciate being
- 15:53Speaker 2: the coach here now a long way Togo. It's you know,
- 15:58Speaker 2: it has to do with the players to coach in
- 16:01Speaker 2: this place, but it's you know, it's when when you
- 16:07Speaker 2: recognize how long some of those coaches coached, and you recognize,
- 16:11Speaker 2: you know what they went through, and you know the
- 16:14Speaker 2: seasons and the different changes. You just kind of appreciate
- 16:17Speaker 2: how long they coached, and you know, some of these
- 16:21Speaker 2: seasons here like dog years at Ohio State. But but
- 16:24Speaker 2: I'm just fortunate to be here, and I know what
- 16:26Speaker 2: the obligation is. I know what the expectation is, and
- 16:29Speaker 2: so do these players and coaches. So we'll just keep
- 16:30Speaker 2: swinging away.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Well, Ryan Day, assuming he does follow through and does
- 16:34Speaker 1: not actually retire, We'll be coaching the buck Eyes this
- 16:37Speaker 1: weekend in Champagne, Illinois, taking on Brett Bilam and the
- 16:41Speaker 1: Fighting A Line I Saturday at noon, big noon kickoff.
- 16:45Speaker 1: I State fans probably won't mind that quite as much
- 16:47Speaker 1: with a road game as they do at home, but
- 16:50Speaker 1: that game kicking off at noon in Memorial State EUM
- 16:52Speaker 1: and Champagne. We will be there covering that of our
- 16:54Speaker 1: usual pregame show or you feel post game show. We'll
- 16:57Speaker 1: be there for team arrival on Friday night. See if
- 17:00Speaker 1: Ryan Day shows up. I'm guessing he will will be
- 17:02Speaker 1: there as well. Lots of coverage this week. All at
- 17:05Speaker 1: pucke huddle dot com also had a busy recruiting weekend,
- 17:08Speaker 1: lots of visitors on campus. We put together our whole
- 17:10Speaker 1: photo gallery of that for our members at buckeyehuddle dot com.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Plenty of plenty of coverage of some of those visits
- 17:16Speaker 1: and what's going on after those, And of course we'll
- 17:19Speaker 1: have our usual exce's and nose content this week as
- 17:21Speaker 1: well with Ross Bolton, our exs nose gurus there at
