Latest / Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning / 5 Things We Learned From Ohio State's 45-0 Win Over Purdue
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to buck Eyes tomorrow morning for Sunday tenth. I'm
- 0:03Speaker 1: your host, Tom Moore. The Northwestern game is in six days.
- 0:07Speaker 1: It's at Wrigley Field. I don't know if you heard.
- 0:09Speaker 1: I've heard about that. Yeah, the game against Michigan in
- 0:12Speaker 1: twenty days.
- 0:13Speaker 2: It's in Columbus.
- 0:14Speaker 3: That it is in Columbus.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Yes, two iconic American sports venues coming in the next
- 0:20Speaker 1: couple of weeks for the Buckeyes. But Saturday they got
- 0:23Speaker 1: to play in another in the same I guess iconic
- 0:26Speaker 1: American sports venue, Ohio Stadium. They played a less than
- 0:29Speaker 1: iconic team, the twenty twenty four PERU boiler Makers, and
- 0:32Speaker 1: they handled their business forty five nothing Buckeyes the final score.
- 0:36Speaker 1: On the pregame show, Tony Gurtman and I talked about
- 0:38Speaker 1: the fact that the goal for Ohio State is you
- 0:41Speaker 1: get through. Everyone get to the game, everyone's healthy, and
- 0:43Speaker 1: you have the kind of boring non game that they
- 0:49Speaker 1: talk about on College Football Final as they show a
- 0:52Speaker 1: touchdown from early in the game, and then they show
- 0:54Speaker 1: an interesting touchdown from later in the game, and they
- 0:57Speaker 1: put up the graphic and they talk about you for
- 0:59Speaker 1: twenty three seconds because you did exactly what you were
- 1:01Speaker 1: expected to do in the big picture.
- 1:04Speaker 2: You wipe into this game even you don't even get
- 1:06Speaker 2: a set up. You don't even get a setup coming
- 1:07Speaker 2: out of Indiana Michigan. You wipe into this one. You
- 1:11Speaker 2: get a lower third, you don't even get a full
- 1:12Speaker 2: screen board.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's exactly what it's gonna be. You're gonna
- 1:16Speaker 1: see one of the first half touchdowns. You're gonna see
- 1:19Speaker 1: Jack Sawyer picking up a fumble forced by a JT.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Twu Moloau running it back for a touchdown. And you're
- 1:25Speaker 1: going to see the graphic that said forty five Yes,
- 1:28Speaker 1: and then the game is over. And that's exactly what
- 1:31Speaker 1: Ohio State needed, is this was a game where Ohio
- 1:34Speaker 1: State didn't need style points. Ohio State didn't need to
- 1:37Speaker 1: do anything flashy. Ohio State didn't need to win the
- 1:39Speaker 1: Heisman for anyone. They just needed to come in and
- 1:41Speaker 1: handle their business. And they came in and handled their business.
- 1:45Speaker 3: They did.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And it was a slow start, and I think there's
- 1:47Speaker 2: always the fear of the slow start, but Ohio State
- 1:50Speaker 2: has been a slow starting team. Ohio State only had
- 1:55Speaker 2: four offensive drives in the first half, scoring touchdowns on
- 1:57Speaker 2: three of them. Will Howard did he needed to do.
- 2:00Speaker 2: I think we can still sit there and say that
- 2:02Speaker 2: there are some of the same issues. His deep ball
- 2:06Speaker 2: floats a little too much, and receivers have to kind
- 2:09Speaker 2: of wait for it, and that when you have three
- 2:11Speaker 2: steps on your defender and then you have to come back,
- 2:15Speaker 2: it turns what should be an easy ball into a
- 2:17Speaker 2: contested ball. You know. They There's not really a lot
- 2:21Speaker 2: that I would complain about from the game. I mean,
- 2:23Speaker 2: there's nothing that I'm gonna say, Oh my god, this
- 2:25Speaker 2: was just the most amazing thing that I've ever seen.
- 2:28Speaker 2: But I think going into today, I said, the next
- 2:31Speaker 2: eight quarters of football it's about Ohio State just getting
- 2:35Speaker 2: through them because they're very low leverage. Purdue was probably
- 2:38Speaker 2: eighteenth out of eighteen teams in the Big Ten. Northwestern
- 2:41Speaker 2: is probably sixteenth below fifteenth. Yeah, so just you know,
- 2:47Speaker 2: just take care of business and you know, get me
- 2:50Speaker 2: to the second to last week of the season and
- 2:52Speaker 2: the Hoosiers, which you know shouldn't really be talking ahead,
- 2:56Speaker 2: but we're not on the team, so we can talk ahead.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Well, this was a game that Ohio State just needed
- 3:03Speaker 1: to This was it don't do anything stupid game.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Don't get anyone hurt, and don't do anything stupid.
- 3:07Speaker 1: And there was a moment where I think Ryan Day's
- 3:09Speaker 1: heart was probably in his throat, where Carson Heinzman's laying
- 3:12Speaker 1: on the field and not not looking like he's having
- 3:16Speaker 1: a real good time. It looked like he was in
- 3:18Speaker 1: some significant pain down on the field and got you know,
- 3:23Speaker 1: kind of helped off the field and then after halftime.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Came back in and was fine.
- 3:28Speaker 1: And so I think everyone probably just kind of wiped
- 3:31Speaker 1: the sweat off their brow and said, who that was
- 3:33Speaker 1: a close call, because boy, that's the one spot where
- 3:38Speaker 1: they really truly cannot lose anyone else.
- 3:42Speaker 2: There are already concerns going into the season, do they
- 3:45Speaker 2: have five linemen? And then they find their five, and
- 3:47Speaker 2: then then then Josh Simmons gets hurt, and then we
- 3:49Speaker 2: go through the next week and Zen Mahoalski is out
- 3:52Speaker 2: there at tackle and it probably is not looking right,
- 3:55Speaker 2: but then he gets hurt. You don't want anybody getting hurt, obviously,
- 3:58Speaker 2: and he gets hurt and he has played for a
- 4:00Speaker 2: couple of weeks. So then they find the configuration with
- 4:02Speaker 2: Carson Hensman at guard, kicking Donovan Jackson.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Out to tackle, it's working.
- 4:07Speaker 2: This is all great, and then you know they have
- 4:10Speaker 2: to take a stoppage because Hensman's down the ground obvious discomfort.
- 4:14Speaker 2: He tweeted something about thank God about the knee brace.
- 4:17Speaker 2: So he seems to be in good spirits. Let's see,
- 4:20Speaker 2: you know, let's see what he's like tomorrow when the
- 4:22Speaker 2: adrenaline wears off and all of that's there. You know,
- 4:25Speaker 2: I think the knee brace should do a lot to
- 4:27Speaker 2: protect him there, but yeah, that would have been a
- 4:30Speaker 2: very quick way to derail you know, a lot of
- 4:33Speaker 2: positive feelings.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Yeah, and he had you know, if they let him
- 4:38Speaker 1: go back out there, it's not a massive structural issue.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be sore, maybe you know, maybe you sit
- 4:44Speaker 1: next week, but we have no idea. But the worst
- 4:48Speaker 1: case scenario was off the table when I saw him
- 4:51Speaker 1: sitting on the bench and not in the injury tent
- 4:53Speaker 1: or on the cart on the way up to the
- 4:55Speaker 1: locker room before halftime. So that was kind of okay,
- 4:59Speaker 1: the worst case is now not part of this conversation.
- 5:02Speaker 1: And then for him to be back out there, obviously
- 5:04Speaker 1: it was tremendously good news for Ohio State. Something else
- 5:07Speaker 1: that was tremendously good news for Ohio State. The defense
- 5:10Speaker 1: continues to look pretty solid. Perdue had on the opening drive,
- 5:17Speaker 1: had a couple plays where they picked up picked up
- 5:19Speaker 1: some yardage, and they had a long drive that led
- 5:23Speaker 1: to a missed field goal. But really Ohio State for
- 5:27Speaker 1: the most part, four plays eighteen yards, four playces negative
- 5:29Speaker 1: four yards, eleven for seventy two that was a field
- 5:32Speaker 1: goal attempt, thirteen for thirty four that went ended on downs,
- 5:35Speaker 1: two plays for eight yards before the half, six plays
- 5:38Speaker 1: fifty three yards and with an interception, one play negative
- 5:41Speaker 1: fourteen yards, ended with a fumble. Back to back drives
- 5:44Speaker 1: with a turnover forced, three plays five yards, nine plays
- 5:47Speaker 1: fifty five yards, another miss field goal, three plays negative
- 5:50Speaker 1: five yards, and then five twenty eight at the end
- 5:53Speaker 1: ending on downs. It was a game where Ohio State
- 5:56Speaker 1: showed some different stuff. It felt like they were just
- 5:58Speaker 1: kind of throwing stuff at the wall. Certain degree, lots
- 6:01Speaker 1: of mixing matches your personnel, lots of different.
- 6:04Speaker 3: You know, lineups and schemes and all that kind of stuff.
- 6:07Speaker 1: But on the whole, anytime the defense throw pitches a shutout,
- 6:11Speaker 1: you really have to probably kind of go, yeah, defense
- 6:15Speaker 1: did its shot.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think people are going to look at
- 6:17Speaker 2: the couple of long drives as the ones that ended
- 6:20Speaker 2: in field goal misses and be like, well, that was
- 6:23Speaker 2: just entirely too much yardage here and we're not expecting
- 6:26Speaker 2: Purdue to cross the fifty yard line. Well that, you know,
- 6:28Speaker 2: a little little much there. I did predict the shutout,
- 6:31Speaker 2: which you know, I have hurt my shoulder patting myself
- 6:34Speaker 2: on the back with it. But you know, beyond beyond that,
- 6:38Speaker 2: Purdue did some things in there that I don't think
- 6:40Speaker 2: that you're going to see Indiana or Michigan really try
- 6:44Speaker 2: to hang their hat on to be competitive in the game.
- 6:47Speaker 2: I think, you know, Purdue was taking kind of what
- 6:50Speaker 2: was there. And you know, for everything Ohio State did
- 6:54Speaker 2: on defense, there were a couple of times or it
- 6:55Speaker 2: just seemed like they could not bring Devin maccabee or
- 6:58Speaker 2: bring whoever was carrying the ball down. And that's you know,
- 7:01Speaker 2: still your you want to be playing your best ball
- 7:03Speaker 2: in November, but it's very early November at this point.
- 7:07Speaker 2: You still have two major games. Say what you will
- 7:10Speaker 2: about the team up north, and if you think that's
- 7:11Speaker 2: a major game or not, I guarantee you every Ohio
- 7:13Speaker 2: State fan I'm talking to this feeling that way no
- 7:17Speaker 2: matter how I left that offense is. But yeah, there
- 7:20Speaker 2: were a lot of little tweaks that were there. I mean,
- 7:22Speaker 2: we saw the jack you know, we saw mixing and matching.
- 7:25Speaker 2: We saw Edric Houston get the start because no Tyler Williams.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I think they put a lot of things on tape.
- 7:31Speaker 2: I think they were able to play a lot of bodies.
- 7:33Speaker 2: I think that you follow that up with Northwestern. I
- 7:36Speaker 2: think you can do a lot of that to a
- 7:37Speaker 2: certain extent, but not at risk for getting your normal
- 7:41Speaker 2: routine out of routine. You've got to make sure that
- 7:45Speaker 2: when you're in that game and then you start early
- 7:47Speaker 2: against Indiana in a couple of weeks, that you're not
- 7:51Speaker 2: spending a couple of series trying to figure out what's
- 7:54Speaker 2: up and what's down and find yourself, you know, with
- 7:57Speaker 2: fourteen on their side of the scoreboard.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Yeah, the next time Ohio State plays the team from
- 8:02Speaker 1: the from the state of Indiana, they're going to have
- 8:05Speaker 1: much less margin for error. The Hoosiers, as we were
- 8:09Speaker 1: recording this, are still playing about halftime against Michigan.
- 8:12Speaker 3: But that's a team that can threaten you.
- 8:16Speaker 1: It never for a moment felt like Perdue was legitimately
- 8:19Speaker 1: threatening Ohio State at any point of that game.
- 8:22Speaker 2: No, I was concerned about them scoring any points because
- 8:25Speaker 2: not that we have any wagers going on on our
- 8:28Speaker 2: on our bold predictions, or I mean, on our score predictions.
- 8:31Speaker 2: But I wanted to be right there because it Yes,
- 8:35Speaker 2: Ohio State has pitched to shut out already this season,
- 8:37Speaker 2: but I think, and I put it in tailor of
- 8:39Speaker 2: the tape, I believe twenty eighteen was the last shutout
- 8:44Speaker 2: that Ohio State had pitched on against a Big Ten opponent.
- 8:47Speaker 2: I believe it was Rutgers. And you know it's you
- 8:50Speaker 2: know we're talking, we're talking half a dozen years there,
- 8:53Speaker 2: so I mean, it's it's been a while, and you know,
- 8:56Speaker 2: I think that everybody comes out of this game being.
- 8:59Speaker 3: Like, yeah, well I'm cool.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I'm cool, which is very different than the way that
- 9:03Speaker 2: fans had felt the previous couple of weeks, you know,
- 9:06Speaker 2: minus Penn State, where I think everybody was just happy
- 9:08Speaker 2: to get the win.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Yeah, and Will Howard another solid day. This is the
- 9:13Speaker 1: most Will Howard line you can really imagine. Twenty one
- 9:18Speaker 1: twenty six eighty one percent completions, two hundred and sixty yards,
- 9:21Speaker 1: three touchdowns, not enormous numbers, solid, no picks, no fumbles.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Just handled his business. Nothing exciting.
- 9:33Speaker 1: But there's also well, he underthrew the one to the
- 9:36Speaker 1: deep ball to Carnel Taite and oh you know he
- 9:39Speaker 1: missed maybe missed a read here.
- 9:41Speaker 3: It's it feels like every game is.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Boy, Will Howard's been really solid, not perfect, but really
- 9:48Speaker 1: solid on the whole. Is he the single best quarterback
- 9:51Speaker 1: in the entire universe. Probably not. There's you would love
- 9:55Speaker 1: to see him overthrow a deep ball once and not
- 9:57Speaker 1: underthrow the deep ball over and over and over again.
- 10:00Speaker 3: But it feels like Will Howard is.
- 10:04Speaker 1: This was another day where Will Howard did exactly what
- 10:07Speaker 1: Ohio State needed Will Howard.
- 10:08Speaker 2: To do and throw a rushing touchdown in there too.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Sacased he has a grand total of one yard rushing,
- 10:14Speaker 2: but that's, you know, not the case that he did
- 10:17Speaker 2: get out there and get that touchdown. But he was
- 10:20Speaker 2: the first touchdown of the game for the Buckeyes, and.
- 10:24Speaker 3: He's going to do what he's.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Going to do, and you know, to go to a
- 10:27Speaker 2: sport that's near and dear to Tom's heart. His plus
- 10:30Speaker 2: minus is definitely a plus. I mean, because if it
- 10:34Speaker 2: were like, well, he did three great things and he
- 10:36Speaker 2: did four bad things, then that would be a minus
- 10:39Speaker 2: for those who are not familiar with statistic But you know,
- 10:43Speaker 2: he's he's got a good plus minus in my opinion.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Yeah, he has. He has just sort of handled what
- 10:47Speaker 3: they needed him to do.
- 10:48Speaker 1: He has been exactly what they needed at that quarterback position.
- 10:51Speaker 3: This year. You saw Devin Brown, you saw Julian Saying at.
- 10:55Speaker 1: The end of the games, not as long as you
- 10:57Speaker 1: maybe expected to see them, but they both got a
- 11:01Speaker 1: few reps at the end of the game. We should
- 11:04Speaker 1: briefly mention the special teams because the special teams have
- 11:07Speaker 1: gotten a lot of grief over the last couple of years.
- 11:09Speaker 3: And there have been missed field goals. Yeah, and certainly
- 11:14Speaker 3: rightfully so.
- 11:14Speaker 1: In a lot of cases, there have been missed field goals,
- 11:17Speaker 1: there have been botched fake punts and all that kind
- 11:21Speaker 1: of stuff over the last few years. But it felt,
- 11:24Speaker 1: it has felt like whenever you notice the special teams
- 11:28Speaker 1: doing something, it was always something negative. It was just, oh,
- 11:31Speaker 1: you know, yes, you're supposed to make your pa ts.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Yes you're supposed to fair catch your punts and not
- 11:36Speaker 3: fumble them. Like that kind of stuff.
- 11:38Speaker 1: They've done the basic stuff, but it hadn't really gone
- 11:42Speaker 1: much beyond that. They hadn't made a significant play on
- 11:45Speaker 1: special teams. It felt like in a couple of years
- 11:48Speaker 1: that all changed. In the first quarter, Ohio State gets
- 11:52Speaker 1: a stop, gets the ball, has forced a punt, gets
- 11:57Speaker 1: the ball back, or Indiana gets the ball back, or
- 12:00Speaker 1: Indiana Purdue gets the ball back, gets a stop, and
- 12:03Speaker 1: then Ohio State on special teams makes a play that
- 12:08Speaker 1: you do notice for a very good reason.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Yeah, Kayt and Curry got the block. There were several
- 12:12Speaker 2: guys in there. There was also Mitchell Melton and then
- 12:15Speaker 2: somebody wearing forty eight which was a no name jersey,
- 12:18Speaker 2: so I'm not sure who that was.
- 12:20Speaker 3: But they get it.
- 12:21Speaker 2: They fall on the ball, they have to sit there
- 12:23Speaker 2: and go a real short drive to be able to
- 12:26Speaker 2: punch it in, which they do, and it really goes
- 12:30Speaker 2: and gets what I've had to say, and tail the
- 12:32Speaker 2: tape through last I don't know, a couple of years. Yeah,
- 12:35Speaker 2: and here's special teams, and we will talk about it,
- 12:37Speaker 2: but there's no real there's no real upside here whatsoever.
- 12:41Speaker 2: So I don't know what to tell you. Tom is
- 12:44Speaker 2: looking to.
- 12:45Speaker 3: See I'm zooming in on number forty eight. That might
- 12:47Speaker 3: be I don't know.
- 12:51Speaker 1: I think I'm going to guess that's one of the
- 12:54Speaker 1: guys who should be wearing number eleven.
- 12:56Speaker 3: That might be Brandon Innis.
- 12:59Speaker 2: That's a little thing be bit to be.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
- 13:02Speaker 1: It's it's hard to tell, but yeah, usually they'll they'll
- 13:05Speaker 1: put that number forty eight jersey on someone who so
- 13:08Speaker 1: you don't have a duplicate number.
- 13:09Speaker 3: So that's what I was thinking. Brandon N's eleven.
- 13:11Speaker 1: C J.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Hicks eleven.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I think I saw a game on Friday night where
- 13:14Speaker 2: the team got flagged for a double number. Yeah, and
- 13:16Speaker 2: I'm just like straight to jail.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, that's the kind of silly
- 13:20Speaker 1: mistake that you've seen from Ohio State special teams a
- 13:22Speaker 1: bunch over the last few years.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Didn't make that mistake.
- 13:26Speaker 1: You made a big play, a big play that really
- 13:28Speaker 1: sort of it wasn't like Purdue was in control of
- 13:31Speaker 1: the game, but Purdue wasn't losing the game yet, and
- 13:36Speaker 1: then boom, you make a play that just kind of
- 13:38Speaker 1: kicks the offense in the gear and they go on
- 13:42Speaker 1: go on to win. So it ends up winning forty
- 13:45Speaker 1: five nothing. Now, only three regular season games off. We
- 13:50Speaker 1: are three quarters of the way through the college football
- 13:52Speaker 1: regular season.
- 13:53Speaker 3: That is nuts.
- 13:55Speaker 2: And there could be eleven million games left in the playoffs.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Yeah, there could be. Well, we'll can file that under
- 14:01Speaker 3: good problems to yes. Yeah, first world.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Yeah, but three more games left for the Buckeyes starting
- 14:07Speaker 1: next weekend in Chicago, not Evanston, in Chicago, Wrigley Field,
- 14:11Speaker 1: Buckeyes and Northwestern kicking off at noon. That will be
- 14:14Speaker 1: a big ten Network game. We will be there, be
- 14:17Speaker 1: there Friday night, We will be there Saturday.
- 14:19Speaker 3: I can't wait.
- 14:20Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to this game. This is this
- 14:22Speaker 1: is one that we've had.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Kind of circled on the schedule. A lot of times.
- 14:25Speaker 1: You have the game circled on schedule because oh it's Michigan,
- 14:27Speaker 1: Oh it's Penn State. This is you know, the Northwestern
- 14:31Speaker 1: portion is not the portion that's circled the at Wrigley Field.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Is the portion that circled.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Only Yeah, only location. That's the only thing that we
- 14:39Speaker 2: really care about. It should be a good time. I mean,
- 14:42Speaker 2: as we've talked about in the past, Ohio State probably
- 14:45Speaker 2: is never going to play in the Penn Stripe Bowl.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Probably never going to play in the Finway Bowl. I
- 14:50Speaker 2: highly doubt that either of those will be venues for
- 14:52Speaker 2: the college football Playoff at any point. So you better
- 14:55Speaker 2: soak it in while you have an opportunity to be
- 14:57Speaker 2: able to go and do a unique, unique op oportunity
- 15:00Speaker 2: like this. I mean, obviously people are going to have
- 15:02Speaker 2: their concerns about the dimensions of the out of bounds areas,
- 15:06Speaker 2: and yes, you're probably gonna need to walk. Then you
- 15:09Speaker 2: probably don't want to sit there and lead a receiver
- 15:11Speaker 2: into a bad corner. But you know, it is what
- 15:15Speaker 2: it is. We talked about it on the postgame show.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Nebraska has a tight corner like that, Oklahoma State has
- 15:22Speaker 2: a couple of tight corners like that. It's not as
- 15:24Speaker 2: if that is not something else that's out there and
- 15:28Speaker 2: they managed to survive.
- 15:29Speaker 3: So just go with it.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is going to be something that
- 15:33Speaker 1: sometimes guys get hurt. That happens on every field in
- 15:36Speaker 1: the world. This is They have done a lot to
- 15:39Speaker 1: improve Wrigley Field and make it more friendly for football
- 15:42Speaker 1: over the last few years. I just was pulling up
- 15:44Speaker 1: tickets right now just to see what the secondary market
- 15:46Speaker 1: tickets are right now, and upper deck on the first
- 15:49Speaker 1: base side, which is going to be along the sideline.
- 15:52Speaker 3: You can get in.
- 15:53Speaker 1: With with fees on some of the secondary sites for
