- 0:21Speaker 1: indoor facility at field at Ohio State. Just got a
- 0:25Speaker 1: chance to hear from Ryan Day as he sort of
- 0:27Speaker 1: gets the Buckeyes prepared for what is going to be
- 0:29Speaker 1: a little bit of a different kind of game week
- 0:31Speaker 1: for them. Everything when you're going out West, everything's a
- 0:34Speaker 1: little different, and the Buckeyes are going to be traveling
- 0:36Speaker 1: a little earlier than they normally would.
- 0:38Speaker 2: They are they are.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Last time they went out the Oregon game, I believe
- 0:42Speaker 3: they left on a Friday, and this time they're going
- 0:44Speaker 3: to be leaving on Thursday. He said there wasn't really
- 0:46Speaker 3: any sports science reason behind it, but they had some
- 0:49Speaker 3: extensive talks and decided they wanted to try it this way.
- 0:51Speaker 2: They thought it'd be a little better. It makes more
- 0:53Speaker 2: sense to me this way.
- 0:54Speaker 3: I like it a little more time, get a little
- 0:56Speaker 3: more acculated, and now they're going to have best fridays
- 0:59Speaker 3: out there in Washington in and it all sounds like
- 1:01Speaker 3: a good plan.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was something I think that was a
- 1:03Speaker 1: little bit informed by, you know, last last week last
- 1:06Speaker 1: year against the organ He said they played fine in Eugene.
- 1:08Speaker 1: It wasn't that they were you know, old super jet
- 1:11Speaker 1: lagged or anything. But I think they also learned from
- 1:14Speaker 1: their college football playoff experience, where you're flying all over
- 1:17Speaker 1: the country and you're not flying in the day before,
- 1:19Speaker 1: you're there a little bit earlier. So it just sort
- 1:21Speaker 1: of maybe helped a little bit last year. So obviously
- 1:24Speaker 1: things went just fine in the college football playoff for
- 1:26Speaker 1: Ohio State.
- 1:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:28Speaker 4: Yeah, So one thing they.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Are not particularly veteran with is dealing with this particular venue.
- 1:34Speaker 1: James Loriniitis and Brian Hartline both played there when they
- 1:37Speaker 1: were at when they were players at Ohio State. But
- 1:39Speaker 1: everyone else, including Ryan Day, this is going to be
- 1:41Speaker 1: I think, well pretty much everyone else, I'm guessing, including
- 1:44Speaker 1: Ryan Day, this is going to be their first time
- 1:46Speaker 1: at Husky Stadium and out in Seattle and playing playing
- 1:50Speaker 1: on the campus in the University of Washington. This is
- 1:52Speaker 1: certainly a stadium that has a reputation for being a
- 1:56Speaker 1: very pretty and be very loud. But you know, how,
- 1:59Speaker 1: what are you the Buckeyes kind of doing to get ready?
- 2:02Speaker 2: Man?
- 2:02Speaker 3: They're blasting the sound right, They're getting ready for Silent County.
- 2:05Speaker 3: They got the guys working on the Silent count all week.
- 2:08Speaker 3: I love this stadium. I'm so excited to see them
- 2:11Speaker 3: play out there. I remember the last time they were
- 2:13Speaker 3: out there. I was expecting a good game. It didn't happen.
- 2:16Speaker 3: And Brian Hartlin mentioned last week about how they didn't
- 2:19Speaker 3: really give them an opportunity to get loud, and I'm
- 2:20Speaker 3: sure that that is the plan this week.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But this stadium.
- 2:24Speaker 3: I wrote about it in bucket huddle dot com this
- 2:26Speaker 3: week about how they built this things just straight up
- 2:29Speaker 3: vertically because they.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Had a small plot of land.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Everything about at the overhangs like this is gonna be.
- 2:35Speaker 3: They got number one coming in the Washington fans are ready.
- 2:37Speaker 3: They've been all around online telling us they're trying to
- 2:40Speaker 3: set that record. They got number one. They've been waiting
- 2:42Speaker 3: for it for a decade, so it's time to go.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Yeah, first time since I think twenty thirteen or so
- 2:48Speaker 1: that number one has come come out to Husky Stadium.
- 2:52Speaker 1: So yeah, so that definitely gonna be a big game there.
- 2:55Speaker 1: One of the things other than the crowd noise and
- 2:57Speaker 1: the potential jet lag that Ohiostad has to worry about
- 3:00Speaker 1: is quarterback Demon Williams. He someone have talked about a
- 3:02Speaker 1: bunch this week. Ryan Day talked about, you know, dual
- 3:05Speaker 1: threat quarterback, someone he actually scouted sort of indirectly when
- 3:09Speaker 1: Demon Williams.
- 3:10Speaker 4: Was in high school.
- 3:11Speaker 1: But you know someone who I think Ohio State is
- 3:13Speaker 1: keenly aware of the threat that he can sort of pose.
- 3:16Speaker 3: The guy he's electric, I mean he is just electric.
- 3:18Speaker 3: And Ryan Day was talking and I didn't hear this story.
- 3:21Speaker 3: I just heard it just now that he had indirectly
- 3:24Speaker 3: he was scouting somebody else and noticed, boy, this quarterback
- 3:27Speaker 3: is you know, fantastic a playmaker, and then later on
- 3:30Speaker 3: realized it was Demon Williams. But the guy is just
- 3:34Speaker 3: quick as a hiccup and like like they've been calling
- 3:37Speaker 3: him like Kyler Murray and that is exactly what he
- 3:38Speaker 3: reminds you of he can also throw the ball really
- 3:41Speaker 3: really well.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Ryan.
- 3:42Speaker 3: They talked about his accuracy, and obviously they got their
- 3:46Speaker 3: hands full with this guy in all faces. He's confident,
- 3:50Speaker 3: he's accurate, and I think they really got a big
- 3:53Speaker 3: test in shutting slowing him down. I don't think they're
- 3:56Speaker 3: gonna stop him, They're gonna try to slow him down.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's really all you can. I mean, Washington
- 4:00Speaker 1: has on non kneel down possessions, scored on twenty one
- 4:04Speaker 1: straight possessions, which, Yeah, someone asked Ryan Day about that
- 4:07Speaker 1: and he just kind of laughed, like, yeah, man, what
- 4:09Speaker 1: do you want me to say?
- 4:10Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna try and end that streak. We'll see.
- 4:12Speaker 2: The punt reel was short.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a great, great line.
- 4:15Speaker 1: And they're watching, you're reviewing Washington's punts, and they had
- 4:18Speaker 1: two punts this year to review both of them, so
- 4:20Speaker 1: I hope they had multiple angles otherwise that would be
- 4:22Speaker 1: a short meeting. Two streaks they're trying to end. Number one,
- 4:25Speaker 1: twenty one straight non kneel down positions that they've scored on.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Second one, twenty two straight home wins. Both of those,
- 4:31Speaker 1: you know, pretty impressive stats. For Washington something else that's impressive.
- 4:35Speaker 1: But Washington needs the size that they have on the outside.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Denzel Boston the wide receiver, but also both of their
- 4:41Speaker 1: starting corners.
- 4:42Speaker 4: Now, one of them is.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Tacario Davis is banged up and we'll see if he's
- 4:46Speaker 1: gonna play, but a Feesians Pricesock the other corner.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Both of those corners start are six'.
- 4:50Speaker 1: FOUR i, mean these are guys that present kind of
- 4:54Speaker 1: a unique challenge in the outside on both sides of the.
- 4:56Speaker 3: BALL i follow a lot of, recruiting come of, recruiting
- 5:00Speaker 3: and a six or four cornerback is like a. UNICORN
- 5:03Speaker 3: i don't know how these guys landed two of them
- 5:06Speaker 3: like At, washington but watching them last, week you know it's.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Odd they've given up quite a few passing yards this.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Year it hasn't been the, best but they are big legit.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Dudes they alter the way these wide receivers. Play you
- 5:18Speaker 3: can run a man beater against him and they can
- 5:21Speaker 3: get there and cover the.
- 5:22Speaker 2: THING i, mean they're. Long they called him, leggy WHICH
- 5:24Speaker 2: i have not heard. BEFORE i like that. Description they're very.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Leggy but, yeah they got their hands full To Carrio davis,
- 5:30Speaker 3: again not sure about. HIM i think they're the middle.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Linebacker i'll let you pronounce his. NAME i think he's out.
- 5:35Speaker 4: There, Yeah Buddha, alucta he is a.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah that Was that was something that on yesterday's
- 5:40Speaker 1: morning show had clips From washington head Coach, jedfish and
- 5:43Speaker 1: he Said aluta is definitely out To Carrio davis. Is
- 5:46Speaker 1: he sort of hedged a little bit on, that but
- 5:48Speaker 1: did talk about three guys who could potentially step in for.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Him but it's a sophomore who did not have a
- 5:54Speaker 1: good game in The Apple, cup a red shirt freshman
- 5:56Speaker 1: who's listed as a, safety and a true. Freshman so
- 5:58Speaker 1: probably not a great option there For Washington's i'm sure
- 6:01Speaker 1: they're hoping To Carrio davis is.
- 6:03Speaker 4: Back.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Yeah i'm very impressed With Jeed. Fish. TOM i gotta
- 6:06Speaker 2: SAY i wasn't sure about the.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Higher it didn't like the way he Left, arizona but
- 6:10Speaker 3: going in there year, one they didn't have a lot of.
- 6:13Speaker 3: Talent he was very you, know upfront about. That being
- 6:16Speaker 3: able to keep that streak going of winning all their
- 6:20Speaker 3: games At Husky, stadium Beating michigan AND usc out there last.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Year you, know talked a lot the last couple of
- 6:27Speaker 3: weeks to a lot Of buckeye fans about. This many
- 6:30Speaker 3: with the age old whatever who cares As Ohio state
- 6:32Speaker 3: we're Gonna we're gonna kick their.
- 6:34Speaker 2: BUTT a lot are really.
- 6:35Speaker 3: SCARED i was very surprised to see this line come
- 6:38Speaker 3: out under ten, POINTS i, mean and it. Dropped it
- 6:41Speaker 3: was nine and a, half went to eight and a.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Half so everybody expecting for this to be a heck
- 6:45Speaker 3: of a. Battle And Ryan day certainly sounded like they're
- 6:47Speaker 3: taking it absolutely.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Seriously, yeah, yeah for, sure and they're still trying to
- 6:51Speaker 1: figure out some of the pieces of this. GAME i
- 6:53Speaker 1: think one of the questions right now is you got
- 6:57Speaker 1: three running? Backs you've played the last few weeks In James,
- 7:01Speaker 1: peoples N, c Did donaldson And Bo, jackson and he certainly.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Is everyone is very high In Bo, jackson Including Ryan.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Day but he was, asked you, know can you play
- 7:10Speaker 1: three running? Backs can you get three running backs in?
- 7:12Speaker 1: Rhythm and he's sort of. Hedged it wasn't, like, yeah,
- 7:16Speaker 1: absolutely we can do it in this, game but it
- 7:19Speaker 1: was very much you're going to need them all over
- 7:21Speaker 1: the course of the.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Year, yeah he. Was he was.
- 7:23Speaker 3: More, yet, look we're gonna take this week to. Week
- 7:25Speaker 3: the game plan is gonna dictate. It and then he did,
- 7:27Speaker 3: say you, know Obviously Bo jackson has.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Flash you've been asked a lot About bow.
- 7:32Speaker 3: Recently AND i don't know if he was putting it
- 7:35Speaker 3: out there just to say, like you don't need to
- 7:37Speaker 3: follow UP i, Know bo, slash or if we should
- 7:40Speaker 3: expect to See. Bow it sounds like they might be
- 7:43Speaker 3: trying to work him. In he's in the game. PLAN
- 7:44Speaker 3: i don't, know but it was interesting that was the
- 7:47Speaker 3: only name he brought up out of his.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Mouth, yeah and then he was, ASKED i think later
- 7:51Speaker 1: About James peoples and talked about a little bit about
- 7:53Speaker 1: the fact That people's had not played as much last,
- 7:56Speaker 1: year right because just Behind Gwen John, jenkins behind T Van,
- 8:00Speaker 1: henderson which might sort of go to the point that
- 8:02Speaker 1: it's hard to play three running backs in a rotation all,
- 8:05Speaker 1: together and did.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Say people's played better Against.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Ohio, Yeah, yeah for.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Sure it definitely has taken some steps over those last
- 8:11Speaker 1: couple of, games and it's. Hard he talked about how
- 8:14Speaker 1: hard it is to judge running backs during fall. Camp
- 8:16Speaker 1: that's something we talk about all the time in whether
- 8:19Speaker 1: it's The june high school prospect camps or seeing guys
- 8:22Speaker 1: when we're here in. Practice everyone's to know how does
- 8:24Speaker 1: the running backs look as? Well as long as no
- 8:26Speaker 1: one's tackling, them and no one is every run is a, touchdown,
- 8:29Speaker 1: right you? Know but it's but that makes it hard to. Know,
- 8:31Speaker 1: okay when you are getting tackled with the ground in the,
- 8:34Speaker 1: game then how good are?
- 8:35Speaker 2: You? Right are you gonna get that extra two?
- 8:37Speaker 3: Yards he, said you got to use some, imagination which
