  Speaker 4: Brian Day said, the position coaches have all they all
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: have things for their players to improve on. So everybody like,
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: whether it's Austin Seerveld, we want to we need to
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: see you be more you know, a more popular point
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: of attack, you know whatever. For any any individual player,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: this is where you've not done well. I know the
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: scores have looked great, but trust me, you're not very good.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: And I have the rule. I have the rules, I
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: have the proof to show it for you, and you
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: show them all of these clips like this is where
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: we need to improve, and that's what they're gonna be.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Doing this week, and before we get to some of
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the specific players and the specific areas that they may
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: be working on this week.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Brian d A.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Sometimes these press conferences are it's like jazz. You have
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to listen for the things that they don't say.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Ryan d A and Jim.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Noles were both asked about the targeting call against Denzel Bert.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Jim Knowles had this like five second pregnant pause before
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he answered. Ryan Day was asked about, you know, how
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: would you coach Denzel Bert to do something differently?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: You know, what were the coaching points there?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And that felt very much like, oh, well, you have
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to listen to the words that he's not saying about
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: these these things.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, anytime Ryan Day gets asked about something that could
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: land him a fine, and he's always like, I'm I'll
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: go right to the line. But then he's like, and
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: that's all I really want to That's all I have
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: to say about that. And this is one where he
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: said he talked to Denzel after the fact, like when
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: it happened, and he said, get give him a hug,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: said I'm gonna fight for you. And you know, he
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: talked to the Big ten and he said that he
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: got different differing opinions based on what he the feedback
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: that he got, which is always fantastic because we see
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: the rules official on television and the eventual rules on
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: the targeting call. I would like to see a study
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: done and how often the rules official on the broadcast
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: to himself is always a former referee who knows what
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: targeting is agrees with what actually happens, because I know
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: it's not one hundred percent.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I know it's probably not even sixty percent.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Well, and I think there's a lot of times when
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it's yeah, you have some of the elements here of targeting.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And let's go back to the number one rule of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: watching college football on Twitter dot com.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: No one knows what targeting is correct.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So there's always some gray area with some of these things.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And you're always if there's some gray are you gonna say, hey,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: come on, and there was certainly some room for come
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: on there on that call. There was also you could
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: see watching the replay, I kind of went like you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: could you could see it going either way, And a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: lot of times it feels like those rules officials guys.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Go, well, you know you could maybe, But.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: My biggest issue with it was that the guy got
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: hit and then its trajectory.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Moved which caused hit him.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yeah, should should there have been targeting on
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Caleb downs. If there's no targeting targeting there, then just
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: the the intent was not there. But again, you don't
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: necessarily have to have intent. I mean I've seen some terrible,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: terrible targeting calls over the years. I remember one, I
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: don't know, probably seven eight years ago where a Michigan
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: linebacker fell onto a pile on the face of the
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: quarterback and he got targeted.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I remember that target and he got tossed.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: And so when you're following the letter of the law
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: and it's for safety, I mean, as jim Nel said,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: keep your head up and you'll kind of avoid this.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: And that's what they've been, he said, ever since the
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: helmets came into the game. People lowered your helmets. If
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: you want to avoid it. Keep your eyes up, keep
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: your head up, and see what you.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Hit, See what you hit. The watchword for decades.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: But I still don't think that would have necessarily changed
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: because the guy got hit. Denzel Burk is going one
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: way where he thinks the quarterback is going, and then
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden Kayleb Downs or the ball carry
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, Caleb Downs hits the ball carrier
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: and changes the direction of the ball carrier, and it's like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: it's not like Denzel Burke was planning to do that, right, and.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: In slow motion it looks like, well, he had lots
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of time to change it, change it. He was like, eh, no,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: not really. I remember having the same conversation. But Sean
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Wade in the Fiesta Bowl where Trevor Lawrence ducked his
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: head and then all of a sudden the angle changed
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, boom, He's out of the game.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So that obviously did not impact the game this past
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: weekend like it did back in twenty nineteen. But it's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: always interesting to hear Ryan Day creatively answer questions and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Jim Knowles to a certain degree too.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: You know what, how would you cotch him to do it? Differently.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: It was kind of like nothing.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I got nothing one area that I did want to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: touch on, because this is a guy I constantly cite
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: as the most underrated player on the team or one
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: of the most underrated players on the team.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Get a chance to talk about Ty.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Hamilton a little bit, and you look at the defensive line,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and you've got the five star guys paired on the ends,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and you get Tyleek Williams, who has been a fan
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: favorite since he showed up basically day one, And you
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: get Ty Hamilton, who is following proudly in the Hamilton
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: family tradition in the footsteps of his older brother Davon,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: who just gets no pub gets no attention and just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: continuously just holds things down and does his job and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: makes an impact on the interior that defensive line.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jim Knowles called him a cold blooded gentleman, which
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: immediately made me think of, like that's the name of
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: a band, like the squirrel Nut Zippers, or like some
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: sort of a type of thing like that's he said.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: He also said he's a dominant player right now, which
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: if you don't necessarily see it, although there was somewhere
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: you certainly saw it. In this game where he just
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: destroyed Western Michigan's center and I don't know that he
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: ever came back after that. But when you can do that,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: as Jim Nell says, when your defensive tackles actually make tackles,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: that freeze everybody else up to do their jobs as well.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: And so yeah, he's a guy that we have not
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: talked about much, but this is a good time to
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: do so, and very similar to his brother, just the
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: way he kept getting better and better and then he
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: was by the time he was a fifth year senior,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Davon Hamilton was also a dominating player. And with Tide
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: doing what he's doing, Tyler doing what he's doing, then
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: young Cayden McDonald coming up as well, I think there's
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: a lot to like on the interior. And as Ryan
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Day said when he was asked about playing more depth,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: he's like Larry Johnson will roll the defensive ends.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: He's higned with that. He wants to be able to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: roll the.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Defensive tackles, but that's up to k McDonald, that's up
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: to Hero Canoe, that's up to the young guys to
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: be able to get in there.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And you know, especially Kayden McDonald, he's one of those
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: guys who he was what a four star like top
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: one hundred ish guy, but not projected future super duperstar,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and he was already making an impact last year. He
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: was one of the guys they brought in in that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Bison package where you're, well, you need a full back, Sure,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: let's put Kayden McDonald in there. That was one of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: those things that was kind of like, all right, like
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that tells me what you think of him athletically, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: just as he continues to grow and get stronger, that's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: all going to be something you see on the defensive
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: side of the ball.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: And you're starting to see that this year as well.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Seven sacks of high school playoff game that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Feels like a lot.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Someone that we have not seen as much of as
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: people in the comments have undoubtedly been hoping was CJ.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Hicks.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: He's someone who we heard about him and he's battling,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you know, in the in the contention for that starting
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: will spot, probably a little behind Sunny Styles, and then
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you looked at the number of snaps and he was
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: behind Tody Simon, Sonny Styles or Velle Reese. He might
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: have been behind Gabe Powers. I mean he was he
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: was a little further down in terms of the number
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of snaps that he's played. And I know that everyone
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: is always you know, he is a very he's a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: very popular player. It was a very high profile recruit,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: so we someone that we get a ton of questions about.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And there were a couple of questions today that I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: think are ones that we've been asking as well, which
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is is there any thought about, Hey, if he's so
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: good at rushing the passer, do you think about sliding
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: him down to the little closer to line of scrim
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: which to play him as a rush end.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Is that something that they're looking at.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was interesting because Ryan Day said, well, we
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: kind of talked about it, but Jim knows, like now,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: we really haven't talked about it doing that. But what
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: what Jim Nels has talked about in the past is
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: using those will linebackers to do more penetrating stuff at
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. But Ryan Day and Jimil said,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: we need him at linebacker and he's still developing at linebacker.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: If you move him now, then all of that work
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: is of out the picture and then you're developing him
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: now at this next thing. Whereas they want get him
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: to be able to play linebacker consistently and then also
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: do some other stuff once the consistent portion of that
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: has been done. Plus, as Gymnal said, they have so
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: much depth right now defensive end. The only way that CJ.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Hix would end up there is if something bad happens
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: to a number of players.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: But he did say it's always in the back of
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: his mind.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: They know they can do that, But what proof, you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: what evidence do they have that he would do it
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: any better than any of their top six guys would
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Right now, he's again, remember he's like six two two
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: thirty five, which is not defensive end size. It's it's
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: a it's a package size of a of a kind
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: of an edge rusher, depending on how you do it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: We've seen Michigan with like Josiah Stewart who got pushed
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: around this past weekend at Texas, which is oh against Texas,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: which is always a possibility when you're putting a smaller
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: person on the line of scrimmage. So it still comes
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: down to finding what he does doing that, but also
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: who are you taking off the field to get that done.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: That's the bigger picture for that's the bigger issue for me,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: right now, right.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And that's what to me makes that more of a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five question potentially, because you're gonna lose GT.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Tu Ymlowa. You're gonna lose Jack Sawyer.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Theoretically, you could lose Kenyata Jackson, you could lose Cayden Curry.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Those guys are both draft eligible, right, So, and Mitchell Melton,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I don't I think he's got another year.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Or two of those one more yeah, yeah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And Edward Houston we've seen a lot, so there's still
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be some depth there, but there's gonna be at
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: least fewer people in front of him potentially if he
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: would made that move next year. Before we move on
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to one of the guys who has made it a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: little harder for CJ.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Hicks to get on the field, that would be r.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Val Reice.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Before we do that, gonna remind the folks watching live
• 10:39

• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, well listen, if we can drag Tony along and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: get him to do competent works, pretty ambitious, Pretty ambitious.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Indeed.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: R val Reese has had a pretty ambitious start to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four football season. He is someone who
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in the spring it was kind of like, oh, you know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he was sort of in the mix there. But then
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: over the course of the summer you kept hearing a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: little more and a little more and a little more
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: about him. And then when we saw him in the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: fall in during some of the fall practice, it was like, oh, okay,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: like this is there's really something there that has continued
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: into the season now.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And when we first started hearing Jim Dalls talk
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: about him winter spring, it was not unlike other players
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: we have heard him talk about.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: So it's like Jimles likes him. We'll see what it means.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: We're seeing what it means now, and it's not because
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: he likes him back then.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: It's because he's like what he's continued to do.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: And as Ryan Day and Jim Knowles have both said
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: like that first that it was like the last week
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: or two of preseason practice where he really started to
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: kick it in, and really the last week of the
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: pre the build up towards Akron where RVEL Rees finally
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: kicked it in and knowing they weren't gonna have Cody
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Simon and they needed that.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Jim Know's talking about how he's had ups and downs,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: but now he's he's up here and he's going up
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: and then the trajectory is going and he's he's playing
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: faster because he knows what he's doing. He understands everything.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: There's no the thinking doesn't slow him down because he
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: knows what he's doing, he knows where he's supposed to be.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: And you can see that in any linebacker, the thinking
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: when it slows them down and they can't get to
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: you know, they can't get to the running back because
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: it just took them too long to get there.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: We see R. L.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Reese getting where he needs to be and then arriving
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: with really really bad attentions because he is a big.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Dude and he can run, and.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: He's put all of the physical tools together, but it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: the off field study that has gotten him to use
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: those in such a good way.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, being knowing what you're doing in advance makes it
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: easier to be aggressive fast on the field, play fast,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: play aggressive, And boy, he looks like he's playing very
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: fast and very aggressive. I thought several times that does
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: not look like a lot of fun to get tackled
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: by him. That looks like you were you know, like
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: running into a wall, basically where you're.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Running forward and all of a sudden, Hey, why am
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I going backwards? How did that happen?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Why is this wall chasing me? Yes?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the walls? The wall is moving very fast. It
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: is Tony.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Would would you compare it to a faster version of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the Star Wars garbage compactor?
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: That's that's not bad.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to speak your language.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to meet you in the middle here. Yeah, No,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I was just, uh, what sector is that?
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Kevin seven g I believe I was a scene of.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Kevin k new. I of course knew that look at
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: you nerds. These nerds.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Next question, I think seven G might have been where
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: uh where?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: That might have been a Simpsons thing.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: That might have been the chair moisteners sector seven G.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: So that might be wrong, you conflating a couple of things.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Anything else before we get to the offense and Jeremiah Smith,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: anything else on the defensive side of the ball that
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you thought was notable today?
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: No, I think a lot of it is just touching
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: based on things and where guys are and what the
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: process of getting better. And so now I think we've
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: covered it. We'll probably cover it some more and some
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: of the questions that we get.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: All right, So now we've kept everyone waiting long enough.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Jeremiah Smith. Everyone's favorite topic. Jeremiah Smith
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: is obviously, we've talked, We've covered this a bunch already.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: He's off to one of probably the best start in the.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: History of Ohio State true freshman wide receivers, and Brian
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Day was asked, how do you what's the approach with
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: him to make sure he doesn't get too far.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Out over his skis.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: You have seen true freshmen get a little too impressed
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: with themselves in the past when they get off to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a good start.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: What are they doing to make sure that doesn't happen here?
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I was looking for these quote that he had,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: but he Ryan Day is not concerned, and he said,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: this is not somebody who needs to be told, hey,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: reel it in. He stays very focused. So, uh, this
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: is somebody, he said, like, this is somebody who wants
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: to be great, knows what it's going to take to
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: get there, and it's focused on that and all the
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: other stuff that can go on on a on a
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: college campus. Like that's he's got more important things going
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: on right now. As Ryan said, very focused. But it's
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: like to go back to the defense with when Jim
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Mills asked about his safety, He's like, you don't want
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: to take them for granted, but you feel good that
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: they can handle anything. It's it's kind of like Jeremi Smith,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: like they're not taking him for granted, but they they
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: know like he's not They're not. He's not a concern
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: right now because nothing he has shown them to this
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: point gives them reason to be concerned. Like other freshman
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: may other sophomores, juniors, seniors, what have you. But and
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: then you can just make sure those guys are doing
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: what they need to be doing. Like Jeremy Smith, there
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: are none of those concerns. They just continue to challenge him,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: make sure he's got everything he needs and just don't
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: screw it up.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Well, he just he reminds me so much. The way
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: people talk about him is the way they talked about
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison a few years back when Marvin Harrison, even
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: before Marvin Harrison was out on the field doing anything
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: of any real note for the buck Eyes, you just
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: heard about his focus, his discipline, his work ethic. Again,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: this is not the exciting stuff. This is not that
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: you can't believe how high this guy can jump, you
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: can't believe how fast this guy can run, you can't
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: believe what this guy's catch, right is is this is
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: all the boring stuff that coaches really care about and
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: that really does set the difference, make the difference. There
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: have been plenty of talented guys who could run fast
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and jump high and catch footballs for all high state
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: over the years. Not all of them did this, though,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: So it feels like it is with the Marvin Harrisons
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and with the Jeremiah Smiths. That's something that if you
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: have the whole package that makes such a difference.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a coach's dream. You've got like, what is
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: he lacking? Experience?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Doesn't show I mean no, not really.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: I mean the coaches again, Jeremiah Smith is going to
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: get a package today for or this week from those
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: coaches about how bad he is, Like this is where
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: you did that, you missed this.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: They're not going to frame it quite like that.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this penalty, like, look look at all these penalties
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: and they might have to loop some of them.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Just to make it look worse.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: And then they get I don't remember lighting up incorrectly
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: seven times film shows that Ryan.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: They talked about the fact that on the iPads they
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: have on the sideline, they get the all twenty two
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: from up top, the all twenty two from behind the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: end zone, and they also have the TV copies, so
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: maybe they do show him like look to drop.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: The pass here.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And then here's another one. This was Remember this one?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: This was, I mean, it's not the same play because
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it's a different camera angle. Yeah, they maybe they maybe,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't it doesn't sound like there's a
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: lot of motivation that they need to, you know, pull
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: pull out of you know, I don't think they need
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: to falsify anything to have him motivated.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: You mentioned the iPads. The coaches love these things.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, like just the immediate feedback ran they
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: said they get after every you get the sideline view,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: the end zone view, and a TV copy and you
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: can just you said, I think Jim knowles Er, he said,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: you can grade players basically on the fly, but you
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: can show them and point to them what they did right,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: what they did wrong, and correct it before the next series. Like,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: when you don't have that, you're just guessing based on
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: the communication they gave you what you saw at that time,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: and you can't see everything at the you know, you
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: can't see everything going on, so you're relying on a
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: word of mouth from a guilty party. I didn't do
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: anything wrong. I didn't do nothing, yeah exactly, and it's like, well, here,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: look what you did. So they kind of beam when
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: they talk about these things.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's one of those things where we've talked
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: about the helmet communication being something that is going to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: make a huge impact this year, but it has sort
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of been under the radar for a certain for a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: certain portion of the season.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Now It's obviously we're talking about a.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Lot, but the iPads might be even more under the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: radar than the helmet communication was, you know, getting lost
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: among the ten thousand other changes in college football this year.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that definitely the way the coaches talk about it. It
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: sure does feel like that's a significant thing for them.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Austin Siraveld earlier as an example of something,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: but Austin Sierveld is probably going to lose his starting
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: job through no fault of Austin Seiraveld when Donovan Jackson
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: is back, presumably for the Marshall game. That it certainly
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: seems like the expectation. It does not sound, though, like
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Austin Siriveld is going to be relegated to a you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: never play again kind of role. It sounds like he's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: someone who's maybe made the most of his opportunity as
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the starter of the first couple of weeks.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Well, And as Ryan Day said, he told all of
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: his coaches, if you've got guys playing at starter level,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: you got to find ways to get them in. And
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: obviously that's difficult with five offensive linemen who are all
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: playing at a starter level. And then you got a
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: guy as the sixth and you don't want to ruin
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: what they've got going from particular drive to drive. So
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: you still have to figure out how they're going to
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: do that game plan on when what situations could they
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: bring out six offensive lineman like we have seen, Chip
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Kelly's going to do some things. Ryan Day kind of
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: alluded to there is more coming from the Running Game.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: But if you've got that many players that deserve to
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: play playing at a starter level, Jermaine Matthews being another
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: one of those guys, but how do you get them
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: in there? It's just it's difficult for an offensive line,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: so you have to be very I think, deliberate about it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: We always talk about Jim Tressel burning out the entire
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: second unit out there at times. We've not seen that here,
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: and I don't know that they would really have any
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: reason to do that while there is still a game
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: on the line. But it will be interesting to see, like, oh, oh,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Austin Sierraval's out there on the fourth series, just as
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: it's going to be interesting to see, oh r VL
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Reese is out there on the fourth series against an Oregon,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: and like that, to me is going to be the
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: real judge of how they view these players is how
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: many of these young guys, these young backups who have
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: stepped up are out there in the second quarter at
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Austin Stadium.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And that was exactly the example I was going to
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: use when you're talking about the sixth offensive lineman, because
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: that is a team the organ docs that has not
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: looked as good in the trenches as you might have expected.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: So if you want to push the smash button, that
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: is uh. It is something that has worked for other
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Big Ten teams in the past. Not this year, but
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: in the past, it has worked for other Big Ten teams.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: We'll see whether that's whether that worked for the bluck
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Eyes this year. Another guy who we have seen, we've
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: talked about a bunch over the years, and it just
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: it feels like not.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Yet, not yet, not yet.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And then you saw Jayden ballot out returning kicks and
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: this was another one where you have to listen to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the way Ryan Day answers this question. It was kind
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: of like, well, you know, he had an issue on
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: one of the kicks last week. You know, does that
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: impact his ability to you know, is that can impact
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: his playing time?
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was interesting because first he was.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: He started talking about how the off season that he
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: had the really good off season graded out gold and
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: which is a very difficult level to achieve, and so
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: they gave him this role. But also the most important
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: thing is protect them all. So they're going to evaluate
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: it this week and it sounds like he's going to
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: have to keep like he's gonna have to fight for
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: the job and win it over. And we've seen who
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: else have we've seen Carnell tit was the other guy
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: that they've talked about there. I think we've seen the
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Lorenzo styles being mentioned as well, So it would be
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: interesting to see who is that next guy if it's
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: not Jayden Ballard. I still don't think they would go
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: to carneal Taate just because of his importance.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: With the offense.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: So you know, there are its Ohio State, There should
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: be other options, but it will be interesting to see
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: what to do. And Brandon Ennis is always he's gonna
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: volunteer for anything. Yeah, and that's that's quarterback, that's running back,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: that's safety, probably defensive end, like whatever you need, he'll
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: be in there for and he'll give a ton of energy.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be interesting. An interesting week.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: No practice Friday and Saturday, but just a normal week
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: for the Buckeyes in terms of practice, and you're can
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: have to maintain and win that job back.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And with the Buck guys not having practice on Friday
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and Saturday, that gives them plenty of free time to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: watch Kyle McCord. Syracuse quarterback Brian Day was asked about,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you know you played late, Kyl McCord played early.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Did you get a chance to watch any of Kyle's
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: game last week?
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he did not, but he did see some highlights.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: So he's very happy, always happy. You never want to
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: lose guys, but you're happy for them when they go
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: on and do some things. And he also mentioned Quinn
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: you weers having a decent win over over the weekend
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: as well, but they actually played to Michigan. It was
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: a thirty one to twelve. Texas kind of dialed it
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: down on the kind of very much dialed it down
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter or also perhaps would have been worse. Perhaps,
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: but in this era of the transfer portal, you know
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: you're gonna lose guys. You like them for them to stay,
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: at least the ones you don't push out, you know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: but the ones that go you're you know, you want
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: them to continue to show that they developed at Ohio State.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: And they use that in recruiting in terms of to
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: show the proof of concept. But also they will tell
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: recruits even if you end up leaving, you will be
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: developed here and here's proof, and here's proof, and look
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: at this guy and this one over here.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: So they don't want to lose guys. But if if
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: they do, you know it's going to happen.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: But they use it in recruiting in terms of, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: get just get them in the door, you know, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: and then if they find out they want to go
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: somewhere else, that's fine. But if you don't get him
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: in the door, they can't you can't even try to
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: keep them from transferring.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And another guy he pointed out there was Joe Royer.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: That and that answer. Jo Royer, of course, transferred to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati after last offseason, just scored his first career touchdown,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: had a really nice touching celebration, pointing to this guy
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: and making a little heart with his hand for his
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: mom who passed away last season. So that was you know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: that's a that's another guy who we have seen over
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the years. Joe Burrow's first year at LSU. I remember
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: standing on the field at the Cowboys stadium watching that
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: game was on the big jumbo tron, and the players
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: watching Joe Burrow lead LSU down the field for a
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: winning touchdown against Auburn or whoever.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: It was at TCU or that the ball game.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: That was TCU. That was I believe TCU. And so
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: they this was twenty eighteen. This is the year before
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: they were you know, all Caps Joe Burrow. But the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: reaction from the Ohio State players in the field, like
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: everyone there's rooting for him, and he scored a touchdown
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and the players a cheer and everyone's jumping up and down.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Kind of have that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Writ large with a lot of different guys that have
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: left the program.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: One more thing I left this.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I had this at the bottom because this is Jim
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Knowles question and then didn't have this with the rest
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: of the defense questions.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say, this is Kevin's fault, but we'll
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: move on. What does the defense only do?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: We'll improve on after two games, because Tony, they have
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: given up six total points ninety nine yards of total
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: offense against Bluster and Michigan Jim Knowles was asked.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: About the fact, you know they haven't.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's been a snap in the bread
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: zone or maybe a team got into the red zone
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: once but didn't actually get a snap because the had
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a penalty.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Jim Knowles, you know.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Did the very comedic, you know, knock on wood kind
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of thing with you as people as all these impressive
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: stats are being read off to him. But so when
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you have two games like that, what is their left
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: room prove?
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you're still striving for perfection. You know
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: you're never going to get there. But he, as he said,
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: he sees all of the mistakes that are being made,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: and right now the opponent is not necessarily good enough
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: to take advantage to those, but he can see where
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: other opponents would be able to. So that's going to
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: be a focus in terms of, okay, first off, fix
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: these problems and then also self scout in terms of
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: things that they could have could have caused issues, whether
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: it be scheme or they had too many guys that
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: were here, they lost leverage, but nobody was able to
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: attack it. Somebody else is going to see that and
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: they're going to start attacking it. So how do you
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: count of that? How do you avoid that? A lot
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: of self scouting goes in to find your own weaknesses
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: and fix them before they become a problem. And so
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: that's that's the improvement week for Jim Knowles, but also
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: for everybody in terms of okay, this is this is
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: why this was an issue. You your ear steps here
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: like you got to be here. Let's fix that. Let's
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: don't let that happen. I've I screwed up by putting
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: you over here. I should have put you here because
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: by putting you here, somebody else can. So there's a
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: lot of going in. You've got time to reevaluate what
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: you've done, what you've done wrong. And so yeah, six
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: points on the season. I will remind everybody they did
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: give up a field goal attempt against Questern Michigan's a.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Very cowardly field goal attempt on fourth and three.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Where can't have it?
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: My brother in Christ, how many times do you think
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you're going to be down there?
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Why don't you at least pretend to want to win
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: the game and not just avoid the shutout?
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: And Tony Fate dealt them exactly what they what they deserve.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: They're a doin no good and didn't even get close
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to U scoring again. So we were going to get
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to your questions now, and just before we did it,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and me remind you again hit that thumb up button.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: If you're watching live to your subscribe to the channel,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: make sure you hit the bell. Make sure you go
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: to Buckeye Huddle dot com or we have lots of
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: coverage of this and many many other things coming up
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: this week. There are no off weeks either, Tony. It's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: an imperfect week for us as well maybe for you.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: All Right, so let's Kevin what what we have questions?
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: It's the lightning round, non Tim May version, so we
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: don't get dropped drug out of here at two o'clock.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: We got a bunch in the queue.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, dun Shepherd, do you think Jim Knowles let the
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: door open for rotating lines linebackers?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: So so, did Jim Knowles leave the door open rotating
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: linebacker or something?
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I think again, it just depends on what do
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: they view as the standard against Norgan. They're going to
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: continue to rotate linebackers, probably do it against Iowa as
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: well in Michigan State as well. But when it comes
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: time for the matchup, games. How much are they rotating?
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: And right now they're going to rotate as much as
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: possible until then to see if they're going to be
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: continuing to do that next when it becomes a matchup game,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: because if you've got a guy like garbel resentho's making plays, now,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: why would you not put him out there? But again,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: it comes down to I'm taking somebody off. Who are
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: you taking off the field? And that's always the danger
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: of putting somebody else on.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: All right, next one, Nick Chickens, that was not targeting.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: That call was terrible.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: The announcers agreed, and so did the guy they asked
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: in Chicago or wherever he's at.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, so it seems like that was pretty
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: much unanimous. Then even the folks who didn't have to
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: worry about getting fined seem to agree that that was
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: probably not a great call.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: On the denzel Berg targeting.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, who knows, there's only one final arbiter, and
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: that's the person who says it last. I know that's
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: not Lightning Room Brown, but that's the that's the reality
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: of targeting. They all they're all terrible, except for the
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: ones that are blatant.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: Doub Shephard again, Noles mentioned gay Powers. Do you think
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: he may get increased reps? It's obvious rbl Reese has
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: jumped him and CJ.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so well, Gabe Powers get increase reps. That's it
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: feels like he's certainly working his way in there now.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly, you know, what are they telling
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: gay Powers he has to improve on and he has
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: not been playing you know, first quarters of these games
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: for the most part.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: But when he's been out there, he's made some plays.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, the obvious one is the catching the tipped
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: interception in week one against zacharn and running back for
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a touchdown.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: But he had some big plays in week two as well.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: He feels like he's someone who's working his way up
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the depth chart, but right now probably fourth behind behind
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Cody Simon and Sunny Styles and r val Reese probably you.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Know, between those two positions.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: But that's you know, he's someone who feels like he's
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: probably not starting this year unless they have a couple injuries.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: But he's someone who is feels like he's working his
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: way into a bigger role.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Next one another one from Nick Chicken. Can we get
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: a Day in the Life with Tony Gerdaman start at
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: six thirty am and run it until seven pm.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, a Day in the Life with Tony Gerdaman from
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: six am to seven pm. This feels like this should
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: be really a video segment rather than just you just
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: talking through.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: And then I put milk on my cereal.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know is that I don't want I don't
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: want to break the YouTube servers.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: But you know, thoughts, well, it's lightning around. Only one
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: person talks.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Kevin Nikah, Hannah Austin saradld and Luke Montgomery are impressive.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: Zen and Carson as well.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the the backup offensive line have gotten better impressing
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: when they've been out there. Ryan, they talked about liking
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: the effort and it being considerably better, noticeably better than
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: it was last year in terms of the level of
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: play of the backups. So I think they've got guys
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: that they trust and that the illness in fall camp
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: was one of the secret benefits. I think it'd be
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: interesting to watch how that continues to benefit them throughout
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: the season if I mean it already has frankly, with
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: being without Donovan Jackson for two weeks and certainly didn't
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: miss a beat this past week. There's a slow start
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: against Akron, which is completely understandable with three new offensive
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: linemen on the interior, but they picked up pick things up,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: and I assume they're going to want to continue to
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: stay on that trajectory. But I think they're deeper than
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: they were last year, and they're deeper in terms of
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: quality as well. I still don't know what to make
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: of the tackles.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the backup tackles George fitz Patrick and
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Zen Mahalsky.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think if the.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Entire first team offensive line just got raptured and then
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: they all of a sudden they had to throw in
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: the second team guys, that would be it would be
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: probably a little dicey. I mean, I don't think they
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: have ten starting quality or what they would consider starting
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: quality offensive linemen. I think they've got two centers this
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: year who are better than anyone they.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Had last year.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I think they've got, you know, Josh Simmons and Josh
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Fryer in terms of the tackles, are both better than
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: they were last year.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: You haven't even seen Donovan Jackson.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: You assume he's going to be.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: At that standard or better. Feels like Tager Shabola has
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: been solid already in terms of the starters. So you're
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about your starters, and probably even a
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: couple of your top backups. Feels like they should be
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about Carson Hinzman and feels like, you know,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: maybe a couple other spots. Austin Syreveld obviously has shown
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: they're not at ten yet, and that's where you would
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: love to be. But that's a pretty high standard. I
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: don't know how many Ohio State teams in the last
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: twenty years would have had ten offensive and they felt
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: were starting No.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: No, And I wouldn't be surprised if something were to
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: happen to a tackle that it wouldn't end up being
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Donovan Jackson or Austin Seervelt could.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Be Yep, it's just me Tim. How good was Chip
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Kelly's play calling the whole game?
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah? How good was Tim Kelly's play calling the whole game?
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: And very good? I mean, the the evidence was there.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: As Ryan Day said after the Akron game, building the
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: running game takes time, and you saw that continue that
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: process continuing. We saw a lot of RPOs that Will
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Howard's very comfortable running and the thing is as right
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: as Will Howard said. They left a lot of meat
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: on the bone and that's that's a few throws from him.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: The the eighty yarder they got called back because of
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: a whole day. This could have been I don't want
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: to say eight hundred yards Tom, but you know, like
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: seven hundred and fifty was not out of the realm
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: of possibility. And it's not like they were running like
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: rapid no, you know, right up tempo. This is just
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: through the course of the game, the process of the game,
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: they are putting up yards and chunks and just moving
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: the ball downfield and you can't do that. We were
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: staying ahead of the change through solid play calling and execution.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I think they averaged nine and a half
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: yards per play something like that. And if you put
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the eighty yarder and the sixty yarder on there, you're
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: north of.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Ten ten and a half.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I mean that that's a that is not just well
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you have you know, this is the reason they do
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: per play stats, you know, in the advanced metrics, is
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: because it tempo wouldjust so if you're running a ton
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: of tempo, would say, yeah, you're your top line stats
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: will be great, but what did you do on a
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: per play basis?
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: On a per play basis, they were dominant and could
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: have been even better than that.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: I'm going to do a combo block two questions about
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: the same topic. First, which Jones, I've got a question
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: is it targeting if the offensive player lowers his head
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: and impacts the defensive player with a crown of the helmet?
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: And Mika Hanna also says that the offense should be
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: held accountable for targeting as well.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Questions about offense being held accountable for targeting and is
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: it targeting when the offense lowers there? The thing about
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: targeting is that nobody knows.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: No.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, as we said, as I said at the
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: outside of the show. Show me a study where the
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: broadcast expert agrees with the actual expert making the call
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: because it's not in line. When when it is, it's
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: almost a surprise. You're like, oh, you know, this is
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: not a fifty to fifty thing, like this should be
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: eighty five percent of the time, ninety five percent of
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: the time. Actually, honestly, ninety five percent of the time you
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: should agree. Yeah, because what one one group agrees that
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: actually kicks the guy out. Another group might have been like, actually, no,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: not technically, you know, not targeting.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: So it just depends that's not what you do. That's
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: who's judging it.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: And it feels like you just don't see very many
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: offensive guys getting called for it outside of a block
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: or something like that, where you know, you you lower
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: your hit, you're a wide receiver trying to block someone
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: down the field and you hit a hit a defensive back.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: We saw Cory Smith, Yeah yeah, right, yeah.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you just you don't see it very much
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the other way, where it's just hey, I'm I'm running
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: and I ducked my head to wall.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Cares are allowed to do that. Yeah, it's outside of
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: that where things can get dicey.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: Question from Peacock. This is the best I've seen the
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: r PO from Ohio State.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: This is the best I've seen the RPO from Ohio
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: State as well. And and it was some wide stuff.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: But even like, if you want to, I would consider
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: the r PO to Jeremiah Smith that went at seventy yards,
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: like these little things just seven.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Yards they go seventy little.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Eight yard, Or to Carnel Tate that went thirty four,
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: like these are things just we're just trying to move
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: the chains and then boom, tuns are going with us.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: We're taking a change, yeah, and where you know we're going?
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Uh so.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And whether it's just a simple RPO throw away
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: out wide to Mecha Buker, he takes a fifth yards,
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: as Ryan Day said, would would say like that's now
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: a first down and a half. They don't have to
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: get and they count all of these yards and it's
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: all they kind of as part of the running game
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: as well. But yeah, it's I don't this This is
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: pretty good right now. But again Mac defenses, it's Mac defenses.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: But I think there's also a lot of stuff you
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: can point to and say this is why it's better.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: And I think there's Chip Kelly has brought some diversity
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: to the run game. I'm going to try and talk
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to Ross Fulton about that a little later on this
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: weekend one of the morning shows. But you also have, Hey,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the running backs are pretty darn good and they're healthy,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: and the offensive line seems like it's better than it
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: was last year. You also have the added threat of
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: the quarterback run, which probably gives you the plus one
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: in the run game. That means it's a minus one
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: for the defense, where it's another guy who's got to
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: just not be dropping back.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Plusher wide receivers are pretty darn good this year.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot that kind of all meshes together
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: that makes that I think, you know, it gives you
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the why behind it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: That's not just crappy Mac defense.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: And I think they've only had what one downfield penal
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: the alignment downfield on their apios. I think they had
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: I think maybe Josh Friar this past week. But when
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: you're doing that as much and you only have like
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: one to show for it, that tells you there's some
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: discipline there as well.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: It also tells you they don't call that dolphin in
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: office as a broad as a broader point in college football.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's just me, Tim.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: I think we I think we can safely say Western
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: Michigan is bad.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, look that we can. Yeah, can that we can
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: say that Western Michigan is bad. I don't know that
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: we can say that super comfortably. Western Michigan put on
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a pretty good performance against against Wisconsin. I think you know,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: we'll see, well, five weeks from now, we'll we'll all know.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: One way or the other that they are or are not.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: But how do they compare to Northern Illinois? Right?
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know that there. I think that game on Saturday,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you don't want to read too much and have had
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: this conversation a thousand times and I'm sure lots of
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: people are rolling your eyes right now. You don't want
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: to read too much into week one week two against
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: teams where you're a five touchdown favorite. But I feel
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: like Saturday and that was much more of a statement
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: about Ohio State than it was about Western Michigan. I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: know after the game, Lance Taylor of the Western Michigan
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: head coach, was not happy with how his team played.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: He thought they made a lot of mistakes they didn't
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: make week one. Some of those, though, is you're getting
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: forced him into making mistakes because you're going it's a
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: team that is running, can't lose plays with players were
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: better than your players, and so you kind of I
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: think my big takeaway from that is not a Western
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Michigan is going to go to and ten. I think
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: my big takeaway is, hey, Ohio State might be approximately
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: as good as we thought they might be.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Well, and even the Will Howard throw to Jeremiah Smith
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: that he took seventy yards. Will Howard is manipulating the
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: defense as well. He's reading the linebacker, but he's also
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: keeping like the outside defensive back away from Jeremiah just
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: by looking at him a little bit and throwing it
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: and just giving him room to catch the ball and
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: then room to run. And the thing is, if you
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: give Jeremiah Smith a little room.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: To run, felt like he was run pretty fast.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: When I say twenty one point seven miles per hour
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: or something like that in pads. I'm sure people are wondering,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: how could Will Howard run twenty two at some point,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: which is what we were told. And then Jeremiah Smith
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: only run twenty one and seventies wearing pads and carrying
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: a football and all that kind of stuff, and not
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: just and not sprinding in a straight line either.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: He's going off to the side. One that's not in
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: this chat.
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: That was in the previous chat during the day interview
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: about does Jeremiah Smith really run a four to three?
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: So does Jeremiah Smith really run a four to three?
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I think my general opinion on that is, let's find
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: out altogether at the NFL Draft combine in a couple
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: of years because so many of the forty yard dash
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: times everyone twenty Every team has seventeen guys who run
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: a four to three or a four to four, every
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: single college football team. And then they get to Indianapolis
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: and it must be a real slow track because so
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: few guys are running a four to three there.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: So I'm always a little dubious.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith is plenty fast and seems like he's faster
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: than everyone else on the field for the most part.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: And you also see they don't really do forties necessarily anymore.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: We've we asked players when was the last day we're
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: in a forty, And it's like, I don't know, you know,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: they it's the miles per hour, it's it's the GPS
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: stuff more than the timing on the forties. And a
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: lot of guys that don't start running the forty until
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: they're training for it now for the combine, because we'll
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: just take the GPS. We don't need you to get
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: down on the track stance. We want football speed. And
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: you know, and again the forty yard dash goes all
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: the way back Tom to Paul Brown because the four
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: that that forty yard distance, the distance to cover punt.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: He wanted to find out who the fastest players were
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: to cover that punt and so that's why it became
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: such a big thing getting that forty yard dash time.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: It's about covering punts. Tom, and as we know now
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: that you have Australians, what's the what's the cover that
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: you know?
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, no reasons, no worries.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I think Jeremi Sopond is out there covering punts. Wasn't
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: he on the on Saturday? I think I saw him
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: out there on the lust of like we need the
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: NBC the more you know graphic, I'm sure Kevin has
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: that pulled up. Okay, so thank you Kevin for putting
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: that up on the screen. Knowledge is power, knowing its
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: happened about battle. The other half of the battle is whatever.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Next question three.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: More unless we have a super chet coming in Nikahanna
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: and Tom?
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Do you own a red or scarlet shirt?

• 42:20

  Speaker 2: Maybe some bread and butter. I don't want to do that.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: No, I'm I'm planning on watching some football Saturday, so

  Speaker 1: Hurricane facing Oklahoma State. Mike Gundhi just coming off a
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: very impressive win twenty point favorites on the road.

  Speaker 1: South Carolina is either going to get dunked on by

  Speaker 2: That's gonna be fun.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's too bad that Notre Dame lost this
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: past week or else this would have been a gigantic
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: game at Purdue. As it is now, the pretty crowd
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: is expecting a win, so you know they're going to
• 45:08

  Speaker 1: Left in a bad spot after Jonathan Smith left and took,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: you know, stripped all the copper wire out of the walls.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: But Oregon looks like they're potentially vulnerable. Which I say
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: that and then they're gonna win this weekend. But this
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: is this week that they look like they look like
• 45:44
