5 Takeaways From Ohio State's 42-17 Demolition Of Tennessee · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes Tomorrow Morning for Sunday, December twenty second.
0:03
Speaker 2: I'm your host, tom Or.
0:04
Speaker 1: The Oregon game in the Rose Bowl is in ten days.
0:08
Speaker 2: The game he gets.
0:09
Speaker 1: Michigate in three hundred and forty two days. This is
0:12
Speaker 1: a weird morning show because normally when I'm doing the date,
0:14
Speaker 1: it's tomorrow's date. It is two thirty in the morning.
0:17
Speaker 2: Right now it is It's Buckeyes today morning.
0:20
Speaker 3: You just broke the fourth wall.
0:22
Speaker 2: We do this a lot. It's fine, We're all a
0:24
Speaker 2: little punchy. It's been a long day Ohio State. It was.
0:28
Speaker 1: It hasn't been as long a day for us as
0:30
Speaker 1: it was for the Tennessee defense. Buck guys forty two
0:32
Speaker 1: Tennessee seventeen. You know, there was some question Kevin noon,
0:38
Speaker 1: how Ohio State would respond to the Michigan game, and
0:42
Speaker 1: you know, the disappointment and oh, you know, Tennessee's going
0:45
Speaker 1: to have seventy five percent of the stadium and no
0:48
Speaker 1: one cares and everyone's pets heads are falling off. And
0:51
Speaker 1: then Ohio State comes out and scores a touchdown and
0:53
Speaker 1: forces a punt, and scores a touchdown and forces a
0:56
Speaker 1: punt and scores a touchdown and it's twenty one nothing
0:58
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, and Ohio State fans are doing
1:00
Speaker 1: your sarcastic sec chant in the first quarter, and it's like.
1:03
Speaker 2: What is going on?
1:05
Speaker 3: It was a huge difference from Twitter leading up to
1:08
Speaker 3: the game, because even even going up to you know,
1:12
Speaker 3: five minutes before the game, people just still up in
1:15
Speaker 3: their feelings about the game against Michigan and how this
1:19
Speaker 3: game's gonna go poorly and why am I even watching?
1:23
Speaker 3: Some people claiming that they weren't watching. That's also called lying.
1:27
Speaker 3: But yeah, Ohio State gets the ball, loses the toss,
1:31
Speaker 3: gets the ball first, and it's like, well, this would
1:33
Speaker 3: be really good if Ohio State could at least, you know,
1:35
Speaker 3: have an extended drive. And then Ohio State just marches
1:39
Speaker 3: down the field and say, oh, they might be onto something.
1:41
Speaker 3: But you know what's going to happen on the other side.
1:43
Speaker 3: I think we're all expecting like a really low scoring
1:46
Speaker 3: game and that you know, didn't happen. And this was
1:51
Speaker 3: just I it took me a while to get a
1:54
Speaker 3: handle on this game because it didn't go the way
1:56
Speaker 3: I expected. I mean, I picked Ohio State to win,
1:59
Speaker 3: but I I didn't expect them to have that type
2:01
Speaker 3: of offensive success as the way that Ohio State did
2:04
Speaker 3: in the first quarter.
2:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, in that first quarter at twenty one points, I
2:07
Speaker 1: picked Ohio State to score twenty one points, and they
2:09
Speaker 1: did in.
2:11
Speaker 2: The first quarter.
2:12
Speaker 3: That was in fifteen minutes.
2:14
Speaker 1: I mean not even fifteen minutes. They scored in a
2:18
Speaker 1: boy I can normally do math.
2:19
Speaker 2: It's very ear late at night.
2:21
Speaker 1: Eleven minutes and thirty three seconds it took them to
2:24
Speaker 1: score twenty one points. And then there was another three
2:27
Speaker 1: quarters in some change for the game for the rest
2:29
Speaker 1: of the game, and they scored another twenty one points there.
2:31
Speaker 1: So let's start with Jeremiah Smith, because Holy Moses, at
2:35
Speaker 1: this point you kind of you can't be surprised anymore
2:40
Speaker 1: when he does the Jeremiah Smith does something amazing thing.
2:44
Speaker 1: But he had sick catches one hundred and three yards,
2:48
Speaker 1: a pair of touchdowns, seventeen point two yards per reception,
2:54
Speaker 1: just consistently incredible and Tennessee. Tennessee had at least one
3:03
Speaker 1: very good corner that got toasted at one point.
3:06
Speaker 2: They had some not great corners who got toasted at
3:08
Speaker 2: other times. It was just and kind of feel.
3:12
Speaker 1: Bad for defensive coordinators trying to stop him because it's like, yeah, man,
3:15
Speaker 1: what do you want me to do?
3:16
Speaker 2: Right?
3:16
Speaker 3: Well, if I would have told Ohio State fans going
3:21
Speaker 3: into this game sight unseen that Jeremiah Smith was only
3:24
Speaker 3: going to be targeted six times, I think there would
3:27
Speaker 3: be a lot of howling. He needs to be targeted
3:29
Speaker 3: ten times, twelve times?
3:31
Speaker 2: What you know?
3:31
Speaker 3: What have you?
3:33
Speaker 2: Well?
3:33
Speaker 3: He was targeted six times, he had six receptions. I
3:36
Speaker 3: mean it just he played the game that everybody was
3:40
Speaker 3: hoping for and I'm not here to have her visionist history?
3:45
Speaker 3: Was he a little dinged up coming out of that
3:47
Speaker 3: Northwestern game? The ankle twist and everything else just not
3:52
Speaker 3: as prolific against Indiana nobody was really prolific against on
3:57
Speaker 3: the offense side of the ball against Michigan. This is
4:00
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith that we saw that came out and was
4:03
Speaker 3: just scoring at least one touchdown every single game to
4:05
Speaker 3: start his career.
4:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the thing that made it possible for Jeremiah
4:11
Speaker 1: Smith to have six catches for one hundred and three yards. Look,
4:15
Speaker 1: we're gonna work work our way backwards here. Immediately before
4:18
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith caught the ball, Will Howard threw the ball
4:20
Speaker 1: twenty four of twenty nine, three hundred and eleven yards,
4:22
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, one interception, the interception. A lot of people
4:26
Speaker 1: wanted to put an asterisk on that, you know, for
4:29
Speaker 1: various reasons, but you know, eighty three percent completion, three
4:32
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven yards, pair of touchdowns for Will Howard.
4:36
Speaker 2: Will Howard.
4:37
Speaker 1: You know, if we're going to talk about Jeremiah then
4:39
Speaker 1: maybe being a little dinged up against Michigan, Will Howard
4:41
Speaker 1: was a little dinged up against Michigan. Healthy Will Howard
4:45
Speaker 1: looked like good Will Howard again.
4:48
Speaker 3: And Will Howard had a reception. I can't believe you
4:52
Speaker 3: missed that that should have been the lead. But huhome
4:56
Speaker 3: another eighty passing game for Will Howard. And I have
5:00
Speaker 3: heard since the Michigan game Ohio State fans would rather
5:05
Speaker 3: have Kyle McCord back. And I'm not speaking ill of
5:07
Speaker 3: Kyle McCord. He's just not good enough to win these
5:09
Speaker 3: types of games. He looked really good tonight. He I mean,
5:13
Speaker 3: some of these receptions were absolute dimes. And yeah, you
5:17
Speaker 3: mentioned the asterisk that you might want to put on
5:19
Speaker 3: the interception. Was it past interference? Yes? Was it really
5:24
Speaker 3: close to not being an interception with the foot out
5:26
Speaker 3: of bounds. It was really close. I think I wouldn't
5:29
Speaker 3: have overturned it on the field, but it was an
5:31
Speaker 3: obvious PI that they missed as Jeremiah Smith was mugged.
5:34
Speaker 3: But Will Howard came out and just led them and
5:39
Speaker 3: in the hype video you had a chance to lead
5:42
Speaker 3: for this game. He just, you know, has a leadership
5:45
Speaker 3: quality to him that, you know, I don't know if
5:50
Speaker 3: every Ohio State starting quarterback has had that over the
5:53
Speaker 3: course of you know how manyever quarterbacks you want to
5:56
Speaker 3: go through, And I think that that's something that's important
5:59
Speaker 3: because the team really responds well to him.
6:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one thing that really helped him have that
6:04
Speaker 1: kind of day was the offensive line, which I will
6:07
Speaker 1: raise my hand and say, as of the middle of
6:09
Speaker 1: the week I had some questions slash concerns about we
6:14
Speaker 1: don't know who our starting tackles are going to be
6:16
Speaker 1: or starting guards are going to be yet on Wednesday
6:19
Speaker 1: before a college football play game.
6:21
Speaker 2: That is not how you.
6:22
Speaker 1: Draw it up, but the way they ended up drawing
6:25
Speaker 1: it up. They shuffled three different guys between the two
6:28
Speaker 1: guard spots.
6:30
Speaker 2: And it worked.
6:31
Speaker 3: It did, and we had the opportunity early to see
6:34
Speaker 3: a couple of different configurations. Luke Montgomery played very well
6:38
Speaker 3: in the time that he was out there, and of
6:40
Speaker 3: course it's going to create the question of why didn't
6:43
Speaker 3: they get him out there earlier. I mean, sometimes it
6:45
Speaker 3: takes a little bit of time to get ready and
6:47
Speaker 3: what is what is Montgomery is guard? Is he at tackle?
6:51
Speaker 3: I mean where had he been repping? But you know,
6:53
Speaker 3: I think they found something there. I don't know if
6:56
Speaker 3: I necessarily would like to see them going forward doing
7:00
Speaker 3: this rotation. I mean, again, it worked, but if you know,
7:05
Speaker 3: I think that when we saw Montgomery out there, I
7:08
Speaker 3: thought it worked really well. I did not see this
7:12
Speaker 3: type of situation from from the line. We did not
7:15
Speaker 3: hear James Pearce Junior's name mentioned all that much. There
7:18
Speaker 3: were a couple of times of where Will Howard had
7:20
Speaker 3: to roll the pocket where he did have to kind
7:22
Speaker 3: of get out and scramble a couple like. He didn't
7:24
Speaker 3: throw many passes that were not caught, but there was
7:27
Speaker 3: a throw away or two that I do remember. But again,
7:31
Speaker 3: for everything that's there, Chip Kelly was all smiles when
7:35
Speaker 3: he came in to talk to us, and as well
7:37
Speaker 3: he should have been.
7:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
7:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was a game where Jip Kelly. Whatever Ohio
7:43
Speaker 1: State fans were saying about Chip Kelly three weeks ago,
7:46
Speaker 1: they were.
7:46
Speaker 2: Saying the opposite things after this one run.
7:50
Speaker 1: Game was effective and it really was kind of a
7:52
Speaker 1: throw to set up the run kind of game. Normally
7:54
Speaker 1: you run to set up the pass. It was kind
7:56
Speaker 1: of the reverse for Ohio State. Trevian Henderson really solid game.
8:00
Speaker 1: Ten carries eighty yards, Quinchohn Judkins just workmanlike, not flashy.
8:06
Speaker 1: Ten carries thirty four yards. Each of those guys had
8:09
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns. That's that's impressive. Will Howard five carries
8:13
Speaker 1: thirty seven yards. I believe that's a season high for him.
8:16
Speaker 1: It was just they were able to run the ball
8:19
Speaker 1: in a way that they finished with.
8:20
Speaker 2: Four point seven yards per carry.
8:21
Speaker 1: I think I said on the pregame show, if they
8:23
Speaker 1: run for three point seven yards four.
8:25
Speaker 2: Yards, that was that's probably enough to win.
8:29
Speaker 1: And they were at four point seven yards and that's
8:31
Speaker 1: with James Peoples coming in at the end, when everyone
8:34
Speaker 1: in the stadium knows you're handing it off to James
8:36
Speaker 1: People's and so he had seven carries for six yards.
8:38
Speaker 1: So that took them down a little bit, but eight
8:40
Speaker 1: yards per carre for Trevian Henderson, seven point four for
8:43
Speaker 1: Will Howard. That that is a winning performance. And again
8:47
Speaker 1: a lot of that has to go back to the
8:48
Speaker 1: offensive line.
8:50
Speaker 3: If prior to the game, I said, all right, I
8:52
Speaker 3: need you to put money in one circle of the
8:54
Speaker 3: other circle. Which team is going to have more rushing yards?
8:57
Speaker 3: Which circle would you have put that money in yet
9:00
Speaker 3: a question Tennis, I mean, obviously, and we haven't gone
9:02
Speaker 3: to the other side of the ball yet or to Tennessee.
9:04
Speaker 3: Tennessee deal with some injuries. That's part of the game.
9:07
Speaker 3: Ohio State is certainly dealt with injuries. Ohio State out
9:10
Speaker 3: rushed them one fifty six to one fifty two, and
9:11
Speaker 3: people will be like, Wow, the big deal. That's four yards.
9:13
Speaker 3: But four point seven yards for Ohio State three point
9:16
Speaker 3: nine yards for Tennessee. I thought, I thought they ran
9:20
Speaker 3: really well once they started getting things going there. There
9:23
Speaker 3: were a couple of first down runs once again that
9:26
Speaker 3: I was just like, oh, here we go again. But
9:30
Speaker 3: you know, it was, it was, it was, it was
9:32
Speaker 3: good enough. I said in one of my pieces that
9:35
Speaker 3: if Ohio State runs for one hundred and forty yards,
9:37
Speaker 3: they absolutely win the game. Well they ran for one
9:39
Speaker 3: fifty six.
9:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got there. And if you out rushed them
9:42
Speaker 1: by four yards, yeah, it's just four yards. If you
9:44
Speaker 1: also outpass them by three by two hundred and thirteen yards,
9:48
Speaker 1: well that adds up. And you know we mentioned Will
9:52
Speaker 1: Howard's dats Nico Iamaliava fourteen.
9:55
Speaker 2: For thirty one.
9:56
Speaker 1: That's forty five percent completions, one hundred and four yards,
10:00
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, no picks.
10:02
Speaker 2: The passing attack was functionally non existent.
10:05
Speaker 1: And a lot of that was, Boy, he had guys
10:08
Speaker 1: in red jerseys right up in his face a whole lot.
10:12
Speaker 2: And when the.
10:14
Speaker 1: Tennessee wasn't able to run the ball, and then they
10:17
Speaker 1: were kind of getting behind.
10:17
Speaker 2: The sticks, you have a lot of incomplete passes. Now
10:20
Speaker 2: you're off schedule. Then you get a sack.
10:21
Speaker 1: Now you're behind the sticks and you're off schedule. That
10:25
Speaker 1: kind of snowballed on them, and you just go through
10:27
Speaker 1: Tennessee's drive.
10:28
Speaker 2: Chart and.
10:31
Speaker 1: It punt, punt, punt. That was the three drives in
10:35
Speaker 1: the first quarter and the second quarter. Yeah, they got
10:37
Speaker 1: a field goal on touchdown, and then the second, the third,
10:40
Speaker 1: the third quarter, second half.
10:42
Speaker 2: It's like, oh boy, has Tennessee. It's twenty one to ten.
10:45
Speaker 1: Has Tennessee made middle eight? Are they gonna be able
10:48
Speaker 1: to they get the ball to start the third quarter?
10:49
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be able to let no? Six plays
10:51
Speaker 1: eight yards punt, six plays eighteen yards punt, six plays
10:54
Speaker 1: fourteen yards downs, three plays negative eight yards punt, three
10:57
Speaker 1: plays four yards punt. And then they scored a touchdown
10:59
Speaker 1: in garbage time when it was forty two to ten,
11:02
Speaker 1: and Tennessee had two drives where they had any semblance.
11:09
Speaker 2: Of offense all night long. Yeah, that was it.
11:12
Speaker 1: It was outside of those two drives, it looked like
11:15
Speaker 1: Ohio State against Missouri in the Cotton Bowl last year.
11:19
Speaker 1: It was just a mess. The Ohio State defensive coaching
11:23
Speaker 1: staff number one, Jim Knowles him give him his literally
11:27
Speaker 1: give him his flowers. They were handing out roses on
11:29
Speaker 1: the field after the game. You got to give him
11:31
Speaker 1: Knowles his flowers. This is the number one defense in
11:33
Speaker 1: the country and Tennessee was a top five defense and
11:35
Speaker 1: did not look at Ohio State looked like a top
11:39
Speaker 1: one defense during the game. Defensive line got home. They
11:45
Speaker 1: that's what I was working. I was going to get
11:47
Speaker 1: in to They.
11:48
Speaker 3: Hit Nico a lot, and one of them was called roughing.
11:53
Speaker 3: It wasn't roughing, but you know, it still is what
11:55
Speaker 3: it is. But Ohio State had Knika, who is a
11:58
Speaker 3: young quarterback.
12:00
Speaker 2: Nico will be in New York.
12:02
Speaker 3: For a Heisman ceremony before it's all said and done,
12:05
Speaker 3: so if they're Tennessee fans watching or not, I'm just
12:09
Speaker 3: being honest. I have really high expectations for him, but
12:13
Speaker 3: this was a real tough challenge for him. And that
12:17
Speaker 3: it doesn't have anything to do with the weather. Maybe
12:19
Speaker 3: a little because I talked so much about the weather
12:21
Speaker 3: and people are coming back at me. But Ohio State
12:26
Speaker 3: just had a smothering type of defense. It just really
12:29
Speaker 3: was no chance that were on those two positive drives.
12:32
Speaker 3: Tennessee was able to do a little tempo and that
12:34
Speaker 3: did affect Ohio State to a certain extent. But you
12:37
Speaker 3: know how you stop tempo, you get them behind the chains.
12:40
Speaker 2: Yep, yep. And I you were talking about smothering.
12:43
Speaker 1: Four sacks two for JG two Molowow, one and a
12:46
Speaker 1: half for Jack Sawyer, half a sack for Ty Hamilton.
12:49
Speaker 1: Nine passes broken up nine you get your hands on
12:52
Speaker 1: nine passes that's going to go a long way towards
12:56
Speaker 1: shutting down the opposing offense.
12:58
Speaker 3: Pbu's one of those stats they don't they don't generally
13:01
Speaker 3: put that many of them out there. I mean, it's
13:03
Speaker 3: it's it's one of those things like, oh, that should
13:05
Speaker 3: be a pp You will know technically it wasn't a
13:06
Speaker 3: PBu because this, this, and this. Yeah, the fact that
13:09
Speaker 3: the official score said nine. It was a very active defense.
13:14
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:14
Speaker 1: And so now that very active defense and that very
13:18
Speaker 1: explosive offense, they get to go to California and take
13:21
Speaker 1: on the Oregon Ducks, number one team in the country
13:24
Speaker 1: in the Rose Bowl January, first college football playoff quarterfinal.
13:30
Speaker 1: It's amazing to think that, well at this point six
13:35
Speaker 1: hours ago, but maybe seven hours ago.
13:39
Speaker 2: Well, it's been a long night.
13:41
Speaker 1: The Ohio State fan base was in this like real nervous.
13:46
Speaker 3: Like you say nervous, say, I say, pissy.
13:49
Speaker 1: Well, well, yeah, I mean, you know there's a way
13:53
Speaker 1: if All High State loses that game forty two seventeen
13:55
Speaker 1: instead of wins at forty two seventeen, you have a
13:59
Speaker 1: program that is about ready to explode.
14:01
Speaker 2: It turn off the lights and lock the doors.
14:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, about ready to explode into a thousand different directions
14:06
Speaker 1: and if certainly a fan base ready.
14:08
Speaker 2: To do that. And now they're three wins away from
14:11
Speaker 2: the national championship.
14:12
Speaker 1: And they're a one and a half point favorite against Oregon,
14:16
Speaker 1: who's the number one team in the country, and they
14:18
Speaker 1: just need to win three games. And you look at this,
14:21
Speaker 1: You look at this team and how they performed and
14:24
Speaker 1: what they did to what is a pretty good Tennessee defense.
14:28
Speaker 1: No one has scored that many points on Tennessee in
14:30
Speaker 1: more than two years, and Ohio States scored forty two
14:33
Speaker 1: and they were you know, they put it in neutral
14:36
Speaker 1: in about the middle of the third quarter. That was
14:38
Speaker 1: they played four quarterbacks, they played a bunch of the backups,
14:42
Speaker 1: like basically.
14:42
Speaker 3: The whole fourth quarter, there were twenty one more points
14:44
Speaker 3: out there. Yeah, because of the of the interception, that
14:47
Speaker 3: could have been seven right there. And then just when
14:49
Speaker 3: they basically let up, they probably could have had two
14:53
Speaker 3: more successful drives.
14:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
14:55
Speaker 1: I mean, the last Ohio State drives were five plays
14:59
Speaker 1: seventy five yards touchdown, five plays sixty eight yards touchdown,
15:02
Speaker 1: seven plays fifty eight yards touchdown, twelve plays sixty yards.
15:05
Speaker 1: That was the interception in the end zone. They had
15:07
Speaker 1: one driver. They went three and out, and that was
15:09
Speaker 1: one where they had.
15:10
Speaker 2: It was third and one and they threw a Mecca.
15:13
Speaker 1: Passed to a Mecca Abuka and they threw a pass
15:16
Speaker 1: and I'm going, how did you complete a pass on
15:18
Speaker 1: third and one and not cut?
15:19
Speaker 2: Not?
15:20
Speaker 3: Well, I was going to say, I mean there were
15:22
Speaker 3: it was there were like three Buckeyes and two balls,
15:25
Speaker 3: but everybody kind of was occupying the same space and
15:28
Speaker 3: there's just there was no way to push through that.
15:30
Speaker 2: So that was the one driver. They didn't do anything.
15:33
Speaker 1: They got the ball with twenty seconds left in the
15:35
Speaker 1: first half and went four plays thirty seven.
15:36
Speaker 2: Yards and got a long field goal attempt out of it.
15:38
Speaker 1: Didn't make it, but it was still like you want
15:40
Speaker 1: to talk about making something out of nothing.
15:42
Speaker 2: That was it.
15:43
Speaker 1: And then after half six play sixty five yards touchdowns,
15:45
Speaker 1: nine plays eighty one yards touchdown, five place thirty nine
15:48
Speaker 1: yards touchdown, and then at that point it's forty two
15:50
Speaker 1: to ten and they ease off the throttle and then
15:54
Speaker 1: finish with three three and outs.
15:55
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, like you said, there there was
15:58
Speaker 2: I if they wanted to, they could have probably put
16:01
Speaker 2: up sixty in this game.
16:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a scary thing for everyone else in
16:06
Speaker 1: the field, because that felt a little bit like a
16:09
Speaker 1: happy learned how to putt moment for Ohio State, where
16:13
Speaker 1: it's it's like, you know, the talent's there and they
16:18
Speaker 1: just kind of were stumbling over their own feet a
16:20
Speaker 1: little bit earlier in the season.
16:21
Speaker 2: Well now they're not stumbling over their.
16:24
Speaker 1: Feet, and that that was a thumping of a team
16:28
Speaker 1: that you know, there were a lot of people that
16:29
Speaker 1: picked Tennessee to beat Ohios oh yeah, and from the
16:34
Speaker 1: first drive of the game, it never once looked like,
16:37
Speaker 1: oh yeah, this is a Tennessee team. It was just
16:39
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh no, this is not happening tonight.
16:42
Speaker 3: This is a team that had to go and play
16:44
Speaker 3: in the first fourign dayton and caught fire. And we've
16:49
Speaker 3: seen teams then run it, so this is That's kind
16:53
Speaker 3: of what has come to mind with all of that,
16:54
Speaker 3: that Ohio State has been able to get rid of
17:00
Speaker 3: the Michigan game that has now been cast aside. And
17:03
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that fans should just sit there and
17:05
Speaker 3: completely forget that it ever happened. I mean, I think
17:08
Speaker 3: people would be happier if they did. But Ohio State
17:11
Speaker 3: now has momentumicside. Ohio State now has you know, a
17:16
Speaker 3: clear picture of this is what happens when we are
17:19
Speaker 3: at ninety percent, because you know, there are still some
17:23
Speaker 3: you know, some screws that could be tightened and everything else,
17:26
Speaker 3: and noy's ever going to play one hundred percent. So
17:28
Speaker 3: maybe even nineties a little high to say, but you
17:31
Speaker 3: look out there and there is not one team that
17:35
Speaker 3: is like, Wow, that's it's that is the mountain that
17:39
Speaker 3: you've got to climb. I mean, I guess of course
17:41
Speaker 3: people were gonna say, well, the number one team is Oregon.
17:43
Speaker 3: These two teams have played. It was thirty two thirty one.
17:46
Speaker 3: Will Howard slide? You know, maybe a second too late,
17:50
Speaker 3: you know, still you know a lot of feelings about
17:52
Speaker 3: field goal kicking and how that would have gone turned out.
17:54
Speaker 3: But Ohio State, I will be curious to see what
17:58
Speaker 3: the overall odd are to nine. Well this morning, later today,
18:04
Speaker 3: when you know, when you're like okay, Ohio State is
18:07
Speaker 3: you know, do they go from plus three seventy five
18:09
Speaker 3: or whatever they were to you know, plus two seventy five?
18:12
Speaker 3: I mean, what what is the movement there?
18:14
Speaker 2: Where?
18:15
