- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning for Wednesday, July sixteenth, I'm
- 0:03Speaker 1: your host, Tom Or the Texas game in forty five days,
- 0:06Speaker 1: the game against Michigan in one hundred and thirty six days.
- 0:09Speaker 1: If you're planning your next event, make it unforgettable with
- 0:11Speaker 1: Grateful Griddle, Columbus's Favorite food truck, surfing up, Smashburger's Gourmet Sandwiches,

- 0:20Speaker 1: Today we're going to be welcoming in our buddy, Tony
- 0:22Speaker 1: Gurnaman of Buckeyhuddle dot com. He's been writing his fifty
- 0:25Speaker 1: for fifty series counting down to the start of Big
- 0:28Speaker 1: Ten Media Days, which is yes, now less than a
- 0:31Speaker 1: week away. Almost feel that desert heat on my skin, Tony.
- 0:35Speaker 1: But you're doing one of the features in that is
- 0:39Speaker 1: doing predictions, or not only the Buckeyes. We'll have a
- 0:43Speaker 1: Buckeye Weekly show that you'll get to listen to this
- 0:45Speaker 1: week about some of the Ohio state related predictions. You're
- 0:47Speaker 1: also doing some national college football predictions. One of the
- 0:51Speaker 1: ones that you did that I liked, the first one
- 0:54Speaker 1: featuring a former Georgia quarterback now at a new school,
- 0:59Speaker 1: doing some stuff that well, we've seen him do in
- 1:01Speaker 1: Athens before.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Yeah, the first one I'm mentioning here, Carson Beck, Miami quarterback,
- 1:08Speaker 2: will throw multiple interceptions against Notre Dame. They opened the
- 1:11Speaker 2: season this year, which is another one of those interesting
- 1:14Speaker 2: season openers. It's a Sunday night game which everybody will
- 1:16Speaker 2: get to watch. We'll all be tuned in. And what
- 1:21Speaker 2: a fall from grace that Carson Beck had last year.
- 1:24Speaker 2: After going into last year as the presumptive number one
- 1:28Speaker 2: overall draft pick of the twenty twenty five NFL draft,
- 1:32Speaker 2: throws like twelve interceptions over the course of a season
- 1:35Speaker 2: now thom positively or negatively. He only threw interceptions in
- 1:40Speaker 2: like five games last year, so that's seven or eight
- 1:42Speaker 2: games where he did not throw an interception. However, however,
- 1:48Speaker 2: he had three interception games against Alabama, Texas, and Florida,
- 1:53Speaker 2: and also two interceptions against Mississippi State. However, to the however,
- 1:58Speaker 2: the Bulldogs went three and one in the four games.
- 2:01Speaker 2: So even when he throws interceptions, he's still really good.
- 2:08Speaker 1: You did and you did not touch on. My favorite
- 2:10Speaker 1: line from this, which was Miampi beginnings defense if they're
- 2:13Speaker 1: Pop Tarts Bowl runner up season by opening at home
- 2:16Speaker 1: at Notre Dame against Notre Dame, no notes and out
- 2:19Speaker 1: of ten right there. Yeah, that was you know, that's
- 2:23Speaker 1: one that I think is this is not a bold
- 2:25Speaker 1: prediction show. This is just a prediction show. I think
- 2:28Speaker 1: this is you know, this is this is one that's like, yeah,
- 2:30Speaker 1: I could absolutely see that happening. It doesn't feel at
- 2:32Speaker 1: all like a reach we you know, yesterday's show we
- 2:35Speaker 1: did the unbreakable records in Ohio State football. This feels
- 2:39Speaker 1: like inextremely an extremely reachable Carson Beck kind of typical
- 2:43Speaker 1: game against a halfway decent opponent.
- 2:45Speaker 2: In some ways, I will say Carson Beck has thrown
- 2:48Speaker 2: seventy passes in an opening game over his career in
- 2:52Speaker 2: the opening game, no interceptions, So he's never thrown an
- 2:55Speaker 2: interception in Week one? Does that mean he's absolutely overdue.
- 3:02Speaker 1: College football history in the making. You heard it here
- 3:05Speaker 1: first that Sunday night. Now, aren't you glad that they
- 3:07Speaker 1: didn't move the Texas Ohio State game to Sunday night?
- 3:10Speaker 1: You can sit at home and watch Carson Beck for
- 3:12Speaker 1: the ball to the wrong team. That'll be great. Now
- 3:14Speaker 1: you get the game out of the way at Saturday
- 3:17Speaker 1: early afternoon. Everyone's gonna happy. This is why people love
- 3:20Speaker 1: being kickoff tony. All right, speaking of speaking of college football,
- 3:24Speaker 1: I guess let's move on to the second one. This
- 3:31Speaker 1: is one. This is one that this involves another transfer
- 3:37Speaker 1: portal quarterback. This is someone who left Ohio State and
- 3:40Speaker 1: headed out west to play for Cal famously on the Atlantic.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Coast, famously. So this one is that Devin Brown, former
- 3:49Speaker 2: Ohio State quarterback. Well match his career totals in one game. Now,
- 3:54Speaker 2: what are his career totals? He is twenty seven of
- 3:57Speaker 2: forty eight passing for three hundred and thirty one yards,
- 4:00Speaker 2: with three touchdowns and one interception. And as I wrote
- 4:04Speaker 2: in that prediction, that basically looks like a line against Virginia,
- 4:07Speaker 2: like this is such a that looks like a line
- 4:10Speaker 2: for a quarterback for basically any middling program. I don't
- 4:18Speaker 2: know when it's gonna happen, and I will say this
- 4:20Speaker 2: hasn't happened. A Cal quarterback throwing for three hundred and
- 4:23Speaker 2: thirty one yards hasn't happened since twenty twenty two. So
- 4:26Speaker 2: they're not as pass happy as they might need to be.
- 4:29Speaker 2: But this feels pretty doable. I don't know that all
- 4:33Speaker 2: of those things are going to happen in the same game,
- 4:36Speaker 2: but the forty eight passes maybe is the one that
- 4:39Speaker 2: stands out most to me. That is maybe the one
- 4:42Speaker 2: that's going to be tough to match.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. I could definitely see
- 4:46Speaker 1: twenty seven completions in a game, three hundred thirty one
- 4:49Speaker 1: yards in a game, three touchdowns in a game. Any
- 4:51Speaker 1: of those are reachable. Not necessarily in the same game,
- 4:53Speaker 1: like you said, but yeah, all reachable. My big takeaway
- 4:58Speaker 1: from that was it feels like he played more than that.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It feels like we talked about him so much more
- 5:03Speaker 1: than that, and we saw him on the field. I mean,
- 5:06Speaker 1: you saw him on the field a decent amount, but
- 5:07Speaker 1: he just felt like he just couldn't stay healthy and
- 5:11Speaker 1: didn't you know, nit had that the Cotton Bowl where he's,
- 5:14Speaker 1: you know, finally get a start and then immediately got hurt.
- 5:16Speaker 1: And yeah, it just it. You look at those numbers
- 5:18Speaker 1: and they just all feel low to me. I would
- 5:21Speaker 1: have I would have probably taken the over on all
- 5:23Speaker 1: of those if you'd given them to me. As over
- 5:25Speaker 1: unders for his Ohio State career. Next up another former
- 5:30Speaker 1: Big ten quarterback boat Forbula. Feel that like he's going
- 5:34Speaker 1: to throw for more yards than Drew Aller, and this
- 5:36Speaker 1: is you have a you know, this is this is
- 5:39Speaker 1: a little bit of a Penn State versus former Penn
- 5:41Speaker 1: State thing going here.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Yeah, both Babula, the backup, the running threat quarterback last
- 5:46Speaker 2: year for Penn State who transferred before the playoffs because
- 5:50Speaker 2: he had no choice, he had to transfer. He's not Missouri,
- 5:55Speaker 2: and so I'm expecting him to have a better year
- 5:57Speaker 2: than Drew Aller in terms of statistics, you know, for
- 6:00Speaker 2: more yards. And it throws us back to the Will
- 6:03Speaker 2: Levis versus Sean Clifford debate. Clifford still through the ball more,
- 6:08Speaker 2: but will Levis, of course was certainly got more attention.
- 6:11Speaker 2: But this one is interesting to me because tu Aller,
- 6:14Speaker 2: for all of the hype and the attention and the
- 6:16Speaker 2: love through for two hundred and seven point nine yards
- 6:19Speaker 2: per game last year, Like that's that's not a lot.
- 6:22Speaker 2: And Brady Cook at Missouri, which is where Boa Pabula
- 6:26Speaker 2: is now through for two hundred and eleven yards last year.
- 6:28Speaker 2: So won't shock me at all. In fact, I think
- 6:30Speaker 2: it should happen that that bau Brabula throws from more
- 6:33Speaker 2: yards than Drew Aller this year. Penn State's running attack
- 6:35Speaker 2: is obviously very very good. Tyler Warren has gone, so
- 6:39Speaker 2: maybe the I don't think the passing numbers can possibly
- 6:42Speaker 2: go down, but I think Missouri will throw the ball
- 6:47Speaker 2: around a little bit more than Penn State.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Yeah, this is an interesting one because you have so
- 6:52Speaker 1: many different factors. Penn States wide receivers were just awful
- 6:55Speaker 1: last year, to the point that they have to be
- 6:57Speaker 1: better this year, and they've brought in another match of transfers.
- 7:00Speaker 1: We'll be talking about all of those guys at Big
- 7:03Speaker 1: Ten media Days next week. But they bring in a
- 7:06Speaker 1: bunch of new transfers, but you lose Tyler Warren, but
- 7:09Speaker 1: Missouri lost a couple of their pretty talented wide receivers
- 7:13Speaker 1: as well from last year's team. So I would think
- 7:17Speaker 1: that you're probably going to see Penn State be a
- 7:20Speaker 1: little more pass happy than they were last year, at
- 7:23Speaker 1: least in terms of wide receivers. But I don't know
- 7:25Speaker 1: if the numbers actually get that much higher because you
- 7:29Speaker 1: might see a lot of that going to running backs. Frankly,
- 7:31Speaker 1: the way they use those those two backs out of
- 7:33Speaker 1: the backfield. So all right, that's number three, number four.
- 7:36Speaker 1: This is a little spicy. This will lot caused some
- 7:39Speaker 1: heartburn in South Bend. If it happens, Notre Dame and
- 7:42Speaker 1: Boise State will be a one score game in the
- 7:44Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Oh boy, what will the folks in SEC
- 7:49Speaker 1: country say if that's If that's the case?
- 7:53Speaker 2: Well, and remember Boise State in Oregon had that incredible
- 7:56Speaker 2: game last year that was like a one score game
- 8:00Speaker 2: both ways back and forth. And then also don't forget
- 8:03Speaker 2: that Northern Illinois went into South Bend last year and
- 8:06Speaker 2: won sixteen to fourteen. And so no, Ashton Genty is
- 8:09Speaker 2: off to the NFL, so Boise State won't have him,
- 8:12Speaker 2: But Northern Illinois didn't have him last year when they
- 8:14Speaker 2: rushed for one hundred and ninety yards on Notre Dame.
- 8:17Speaker 2: So I think Boise State getting to the playoffs last year,
- 8:21Speaker 2: they are a kind of a made program in terms
- 8:25Speaker 2: of they've played in big games. So they just going
- 8:29Speaker 2: to Notre Dame is special, but we can all admit that.
- 8:32Speaker 2: But they've played in special games before and I would
- 8:36Speaker 2: expect them to have a really good chance of being
- 8:38Speaker 2: back in the playoffs. And if they can get this win,
- 8:40Speaker 2: then go ahead and lock them in almost and if
- 8:44Speaker 2: they don't, they all have to do is just be
- 8:46Speaker 2: the highest ranked group of five, group of sixteen. Anyway,
- 8:49Speaker 2: But I think this is gonna be a good one.
- 8:50Speaker 2: It'll be a fun one.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll definitely be a fun one. And you've got
- 8:54Speaker 1: certainly some new faces for Notre Dame this year as well,
- 8:57Speaker 1: So yeah, I like that one. That's a good one
- 9:00Speaker 1: as well. It's it's going to be It's going to
- 9:03Speaker 1: be such an interesting year to see how these teams
- 9:05Speaker 1: coming off of these really senior heavy seasons and teams
- 9:08Speaker 1: who are losing a lot of veteran players can sort
- 9:11Speaker 1: of adapt to that. You saw last year did not
- 9:13Speaker 1: go great for Michigan up to a certain point, But
- 9:18Speaker 1: how will that happened with you know, how what will
- 9:21Speaker 1: that look like for Ohio State? What will that look
- 9:22Speaker 1: like for Notre Dame, who maybe doesn't quite recruit at
- 9:24Speaker 1: the Ohio state level. So it's gonna be a lot
- 9:27Speaker 1: of interesting interesting teams to watch this year. And definitely
- 9:30Speaker 1: that Boise State Notre Dame game definitely one to watch.
- 9:32Speaker 1: So that will do it for today. I hope you
- 9:34Speaker 1: guys enjoyed that one a little different and again if
- 9:37Speaker 1: you want to hear a little more of an Ohio
- 9:39Speaker 1: state focused theme on one of these shows, and I

- 9:45Speaker 1: some of his Ohio state predictions and not Bold. We'll
- 9:48Speaker 1: get to the Bold predictions later, but you know, interesting
- 9:51Speaker 1: Ohio state predictions stuff to talk about. Little Christ for
