• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning for Friday, January third. I'm
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: your host, Tom Moore. The Cotton Bowl game against Texas
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: is in seven days. The game against Michigan in three
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty days. All right, I'm sure every Ohio
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: State fan is ready to move on from that Rose
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Bowl game and just talk about Texas, right, Okay, probably not,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: probably want over the more entertaining, perhaps cathartic wins for
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Ohio State football in quite a while. So we're gonna
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: be letting you hear from some of the Buck guys.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Also let you hear a little bit from Oregon coach
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Dan Lanning after the game. Let's start though with Brian Day. Now,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the last month, Ryan Day, it just it doesn't seem
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: like it's probably been a whole lot of fun for him,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: but it seems like it's probably getting a little more
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: fun at this point after thumping Tennessee and then thumping Oregon.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So for Ryan Day, what has that last month been
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: like for him? And how did that how good did
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: this win over Oregon make him feel?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You know, in this game, you know there are ups
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and downs along the way, and you know when things
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: are going good, you gotta hug the guys you love
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the most, and when things aren't you got to hug
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: them even harder.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Uh, And you just hang in there and you keep swinging.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And you know, I talked to these guys about it
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago that that's life, and this
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: team is resilient.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: And when you surround yourself.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: With great people with great character, you know, you find
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: yourself working through difficult times. And at the end of
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the day, you know, we wanted to win a national
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: championship and the way that we got here wasn't what
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: we expected.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: It wasn't what we planned for.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: But nonetheless, we had an opportunity to come back and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: play Oregon after we'd already played them early in the season,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and that's the only thing that mattered. And the guys
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: have been doing a great job of staying focused. The
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: staff is stuck together, but the players have stuck together,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and they're fighting to continue to stay together because you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the winner gets to play together another week, the loser doesn't.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So you know, those guys have have worked hard to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: stay together, and now we've got an opportunity to go
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: play Texas and a lot of football ahead of us.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: The offensive MVP of the Rose Bowl was Jeremiah Smith.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of question who that was going to be.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Seven catches, one hundred and eighty seven yards, two touchdowns
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: for him is a reminder still a true freshman, not
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: bad so he Rian Day was asked how someone like
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith compares to some of the other great receivers
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: at Ohiostate has had over the years, Like guys like
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: We always want to draw comparisons because that's what we
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: do naturally. I think, whether it's players or coaches, it's
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: easy for everyone to say, well, you know, he's this
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: person and not quite put him in a box, but
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: sort of categorize them based on somebody who's come before.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: And Jeremiah is his own person.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think that the way that he's
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: come in from the get go, he had a look
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: in his eye that he wanted to make an impact
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: as a freshman. And I think his you know, his
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: teammates would tell you the same thing. And he's earned
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the respect to the teammates not because of his ability.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: You guys see his ability, but to me, it's the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: work work ethic. Every day he comes in he's serious.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: He doesn't say a whole lot, but when he does,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: people listen. In his maturity physically, emotionally, and mentally has
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: allowed him to play like this. And remember, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: he's a freshman, and so for him to be playing
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: his best football late in the season speaks to his maturity.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Here's something that I'm sure everyone probably thought to themselves
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: at some point but didn't really want to say out loud.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Was the loss to Michigan Secretly maybe the best thing
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that could have happened to this year's Ohio State team
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to get them focused before the college football playoff.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard for me to say something like that,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: but I know that, you know, there are some of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: your experiences and this team has had great wins this season,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: it's had some tough losses, and you know, we have
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: learned from those. And you've got to grow and you've
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: got to build, and you've got to make sure you're,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you know, focusing on your strengths and making sure that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you know you understand what your your weaknesses are and
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and I think that's a big part of it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: But ultimately it comes down to our guys.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And I just keep going back to that because these
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: guys are resilient and you know, we're at a place
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: where you know, you can you can hear a lot
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: of noise. But they didn't do that. And I'm very
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: very proud of our staff. I'm very very proud of
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: our players. But we're far from done.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day has talked in recent weeks about wanting to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: play with a free and focused mindset, and boy, that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: sure looked free and focused in the Rose Bowl looked
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: like a lot of fun as well. So what does
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that actually look like? What does free and focused look
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: like in Ryan Day's mind?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know you can talk to the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: players about it. I think all year, you know, you
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: you make adjustments along the way. But you know, we've
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: really focused hard after the regular season on our execution.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And I know that sounds really simple, but that's something
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: that we talk a lot about in our walkthroughs and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: our meetings. You know, it might be practices, it might
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: be a walk through in a hotel, it might be
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a meeting and maybe just one little tip that could
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: give you that little bit to say, hey, man, like
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: this is going to help you execute display on this play,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: on this situation, and then you also have to be
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you know, situationally aware, which I think as the season's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: gone on, we've done a better job of that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And then the.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Last piece is doing your job. Everybody has to do
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: their job, like you know. You take, for instance, the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: route that Jeremiah ran on the play where he stuck
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: his foot in the ground went across the field.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: It was a perfectly.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Run route, but the protection was there, the setup by
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: will of getting the whole defense to run one way.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It looked like it was a naked and then we
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: came back and through the ball. Like there's so much
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that goes into that one specific play, and I think
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that we've really focused on that part of it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: And I think it's the same thing with the defense.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I think that they I'll understand how they fit in
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: with each other, and then it comes down to execution.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: But then when you mix that with after the snap
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: is then snapped, the physicality and how hard we're playing
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: right now, I think those two things are the reason
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: why you're seeing us played this type of football.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: There had been all sorts of narrative around Ryan Day
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: over the last month, over the last couple of year,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: years really including his record in big games, and a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: lot that a lot of that narrative has not been
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: particularly positive for Day so to win the last couple
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of games the way they did, including a Rose Bowl
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: win over the number one team in the nation, does
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Brian they take any personal pride in that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Every game is big at Ohio State.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And we know that when we go, when we came,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and when we decided to come to Ohio State, and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and certainly you know this game is huge for a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: lot of reasons. But I think the most important this
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: is for our team is that we get that we
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: had a chance to play together for another week.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: To me, that's the most important thing.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Every game here is important, and so when you lose,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you've got to figure out how to move forward.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: But when you recruit.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Great people with high characters who care about each other,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: when you go through difficult times, you stick together.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: You don't splinter.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And again that's why I whenever we're in these situations,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I just fall back on these guys right here. I mean,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I wish you guys were asking these guys questions, because
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: they're the ones on the field. These guys are the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: ones who are playing, not me. I'm just there to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: direct them and make sure that we're all going in
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the right direction. These are the guys who are the warriors,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: who are doing it on the field, and I just
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: can't say enough about these guys.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Next up, you're going to get to hear from defensive
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: MVP Cody Simon and offensive MVP Jeremiah Smith. They were
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: both asked the same questions. You're going to get these
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: answers back to back. What was different from the first
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: time the Buck guys played the Oregon until on New
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Year's Day in Pasadena?
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: All Right, Defensive, I mean, I was obviously our one
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: of our letdown games for our defense. So one of
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: the biggest things we changed was just our attitude and
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: our mentality. You know, there was a lot of plays
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: in the first game and we weren't even like aligned,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: We weren't ready to go and with the offense like that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: For Oregon, they like thrive on that stuff, and for us,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: it was just that mentality we did change. And we
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: went through a lot of tough conversations after that game
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: and a lot of a lot of changes we had
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: to make, But I think we're better for it now.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: And you know, we made those changes and and like
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Coach Day said, It's all about execution, like you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: no matter what, no matter who's across.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: The ball, like you do your job.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: If you do your job, like the result.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: No, after that game, we had no bad chasing our mouth.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: You know, we just had to come in in this
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: day and just you know, see what was the issues,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: fits the issues and getting the feeling no work it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: But you know, offensively, we know we had to get
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: the ball in the perimeter, take shots and you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: just went I want to win myshoves and that's what
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: we did that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Behind every great wide receiver, there is a pretty darn
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: good quarterback and Jeremiah Smith definitely has that with Will Howard.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So Jeremiah was asked, how does Will Howard? What does
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he do to make the offense run like it does?
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, Will does a great job in practice, you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: just trusting us just you know, throwing the ball out there.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: We just tell him just throw it out that we're
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: gonna make a play for it, no matter if it's
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: a bad ball or not. You know, we just gotta
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: make our quarterback look good. But you know, Will playing
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: with that confidence that he has, you know, just being
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: the leader out the feet feed off his energy I mean,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: just you know, great God love, would death not do
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: anything for him?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: There were a ton of interesting storylines going into the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Roads Bowl. Yes it was a rematch, Yes it was
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a revenge game for Ohio State. Also, the season was
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: on the line for both of those teams. So Cody
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Simon was asked, how as a team leader do you
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: help your team balance the emotions that are coming into
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: that game with the need to also just be so
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: precise and to execute so well in a game that important.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: And I mean, that's that's probably the biggest part about football.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: You know, it's it's a game about getting your body, mind,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: and spirit right. And I think coach Day does a
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: great job where he's he wants us to like understand
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: the moment and how the steps of each game goes.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's not we don't play that game
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: a week ago, but we have to get our mind
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: ready to be in in that sense. And so obviously
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: it was a lot of emotion. A lot of people
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: call about the redemption, but for us, it really is
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: just about doing your job. Because our coaching person in
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: the right position, so we've got to make the play.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: And they've done that so well. This whole season. So
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, we trust one hundred percent.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And Ryan Day was asked, with so much changing in
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: college football these days, what does it mean to win
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl, such a traditional game like that, and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: then to also know, hey, there's another game still coming.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: We literally are taking it one week at a time,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: but we are I keep saying it. We're fighting to
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: keep this team together because we have a great group
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: of guys together and I think that we believe that
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: when we're executing at a high level, that we can
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: play with anybody in the country. And so we have
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of respect for Oregon. We have a lot
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of respect for coach Landing and his staff and his players.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I think they're a very very good team and well coached.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: So we knew we had to be at our best
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: today and it'll be the same thing next week. When
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you're playing the playoffs, you're playing against very very good teams,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and so you know, we hold ourselves to a high standard.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: And so now we're going to have to get back
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: We're getting back on it. We're not staying the night.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: We're getting back on that plane. We're headed back to Columbus.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: You know, we'll get some rest and then we'll focus
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: on Texas.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: It felt like the thirty four part of the thirty
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: four to nothing first half score probably got a little
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: more attention than the zero did. But Man oh Man,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: with the Ohio State defense dominant on New Year's Day
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: against the organ Ducks eight sacks on the day they
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: held Oregon too negative yards in the rushing column, did
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: not see that one coming, I will confess. But one
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: thing I did see coming was, boy, it might be
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: another big game for Jack Sawyer. And yes, it was
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: definitely another big game for Jack Sawyer. Two more sacks
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: for him, just another dominant day for the whole defense.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But Ryan Day, what does Jack Sawyer mean to the defense?
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I can't say enough about Jack as a leader, as
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: a person. You know, he really stands for what it
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: means to be a Buckeye and to see him playing
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: at a high level. He's the heart and soul at
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the front. And you know, Cody will tell you know
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: just what he brings every day. He brings a hard
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: hat and a lunch pale and goes to work and
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you know it's showing late in the season. He's playing
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of great football and he's a big reason
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: we won today.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And finally, I wanted to let you hear just a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: little bit from Dan Landing. He was very gracious during
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: his opening statement of his press conference. Is going to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: let you hear a little bit from his conference, his
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: thoughts on what went wrong for the Oregon Ducks and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: You know they clicked tonight.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: We didn't and I didn't didn't get our team prepared,
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: you know, And that's a great team. When you play
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: a great team like Ohio State, you can't not be
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: clicking on all cylinders, and they were. They were clicking
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: on all cylinders. We didn't really have the ability to
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: stop them and didn't have the ability to get something
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: going for us on offense. And we haven't faced a
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: lot of moments like that this year. It's an unbelievable team.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Coach Day and his staff have done an unbelievable job there.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Don't want to discredit what our players have been able
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: to accomplish this year.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: We are a great team. You know.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: We just ran into a great team tonight and we
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: didn't play our best. So credit to those guys. I'll
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: say this about our team. You know, there wasn't a
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: second we stepped on the field where I felt like
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: our guys were disheartened, they didn't want to give the
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: effort to go out there and play. I just don't
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: think we had a good enough plan as coaches, you know, tonight,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: and we got to find ways to prepare us for
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: these moments you know better as a coaching staff. But
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: I love that team. I love that team in there.
• 13:05
