Ryan Day Breaks Down What Went Wrong Against Michigan · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning for Friday, December sixth thim
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: your host, Tom Moore. The game against Michigan is in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty eight days. Today, you're gonna be
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: hearing from Ohio State head coach Brian Day. We got
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a chance to talk to him on Wednesday.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Got to talk a bunch of.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: National Signing Day. But that's not what we're talking about
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: on this show. This one, you're just gonna be hearing
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: correctly from Day, but a bunch of questions about that
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Michigan game. What went wrong? How could it possibly have
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: gone wrong? Where do you go from here? All that
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Let's start with the one that I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: saw probably getting most asked most about during the game,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: after the game, the day's following the game. Everyone gets
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you want to establish the run, especially in the Ohio
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: State Michigan game. Everyone gets that. But when that didn't work,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: was Ryan Day and the Ohio State coaching staff maybe
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: slow to adjust.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I think the first thing is just overall, you know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: let me just quickly start with the defense. I feel
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: like the defense played excellent. I thought that you're really
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: from the Oregon game on some of those adjustments that
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: were made have been excellent, and I thought they played
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: really really hard in this game. Was everything perfect, No,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: but I thought they played really good. I think when
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: you look at the offensive side of the ball, you
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: know it was not a good day. It wasn't a
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: good day across the board on offense. And you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: some of that had to do with the coaching and
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: some of the game planning that went on. There's no
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: question that you know, we could have done a better
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: job getting the ball to the perimeter. I think one
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: of the key points to the game, though, is when
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: you have five trips to the red zone and you
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: only get ten points, and you know, in those moments there,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: you know, we had a couple of missfield goals, we
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: had an interception, we had the field goal and we
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: had to touchdown and you know, we hadn't done that
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: up to that point and and that was a big deal.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: So and then on special teams, you know, we had
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: some other things that you know, we wouldn't execute very well.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: A couple of you know, kicks that weren't fielded great
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: down in the seven yard line, which created coming out situations.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: And then we had the missed to two miss field goals.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: So ultimately, you know that comes back on me as
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the head coach. You know, whether it's you know, the
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: right guys on the right spot, the recruiting part of it,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: you know, the scheme, the coaching, So you know, you
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: know that's on me. But I think when you look
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: back on it, there's definitely ways that we could have
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: got the ball to the perimeter. I think when you
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: look at I think we threw it thirty five times
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: in the game, which is I think Will's second most throws.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: But you know that it certainly.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Played into it being in the red zone and coming out,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: But there was definitely ways that we could have done
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a better job, because it's the coach's job to put
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: the guys in the best.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Position to be successful, and that didn't always happen on Saturday.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: As soon as that game ended on Saturday afternoon, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: as soon as the fight ended, the view kind of
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: changed to okay, and now what for Ohio State because
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the end now what is very different Now in the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: era of the twelve team playoff, there was no question
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that they were still going to be in the College
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Football Playoff, and that was all kind of reinforced on
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night when the committee announced that the buck Eyes
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: were currently slotted in as the eighth seed, and we're
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: not only going to be in the field, but very
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: like have a home game. So two years ago, Ohio
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: State had to sort of rally the troops Ryan Day
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and the team had to sort of pull themselves up
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: by their bootstraps after a lost to Michigan when they
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: found out they were going to be playing Georgia. Worked
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: out pretty well in that case. They didn't win, but
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that was very much a sixty minute game, not a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: disheartened Ohio State team by any means. So how do
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you do that again?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Now, Well, we got a lot in front of us,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and as much as this hurts, you know, we got
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: a chance to go play for a national championship, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you know, when the dust settles, you know, here we are.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: And you know, we don't just turn around after a
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: day and say, you know, we're onto the next thing.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: That's not going to happen. But we've come in here,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: had some meetings. We're going to get out the field
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: today and move around a little bit. And so you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: it's almost like the NFL. You know, you think about
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the teams who you know, you are.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: In the wild card.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Get that first win and they can get some momentum
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: going win the whole thing. So that's all in front
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: of us, and we have plenty good enough players to
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: go do that. So it's going to go and come
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: down to the leaders, pulling everybody togethering that you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: we get some guys maybe going into the portal. We've
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: got a couple of things, but all those things are
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: going to happen whether we lost or we won. So
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: here we are, you know, ten and two, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: frustrated without the season ended, but everything's out in front
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: of us, and so you know, we've had good conversations.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I think the guys are moving in that direction. I
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: know we want to know what the next target is
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: and we'll get that Sunday. But you know, it's a
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: good chance. You know, we're going to be hosting here
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: and so I think that's exciting for our guys, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I know that you know, we'll rally around this thing
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and go after it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: This next one is one of the kind of questions
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I always like, where it's okay, a take us behind
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the scenes kind of question. Randy was asked, what are
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: things like on the headset with him and Jim Kelly
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: is they're sort of trying to figure out what they
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: want to do during those fourth quarterer drives.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, usually it's it's between each series. You know, you
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: get the script of what comes, you know, for the
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: next drive. Some thoughts that are going on, and you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: some of them are mixed with our pos and some
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: of them are just you know, call it and run.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Its mixture of all those things.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: But when you when you do call an RPO, sometimes
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: if they're you know, a too high shell, that ball
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: is going to get handed off, and then obviously just
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: have passes and so you know, you go through it,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: you go through the list and see what you're thinking.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: And you know, there were a couple of them that
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: you know, we got to turn over there in a
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: red zone and weren't able to turn that. I mean,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: that was very very frustrating, you know, and that's that
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: was a big part of the game right there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: So but that's typically how it goes.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of blame to go around following
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that thirteen to ten loss to Michigan on Saturday, but
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: one place a lot of people settled on pointing the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: finger was at kicker Jaden Fielding, he missed a pair
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of field goals inside forty yards, obviously not ideal in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a game that you lose by three points. So where
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is Ohio State and Ryan Day with its faith in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Jaden Fielding and the kicking game after those two misses.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Well, we wouldn't put him in the game if we
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: didn't feel confident in him. And you know, I know
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: his teammates have told him the same thing. Everyone's got
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: a job to do and that's that's the game. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: you know, I have my job. Everyone has their own job,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: and so you got to do your job. And so
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you know, we'll continue to look at how he does
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: in practice. But we wouldn't have put him in the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: game if we did not believe him.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Another area where Ryan Day came under fire after that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: game was his usage of timeouts and when he chose
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to use his timeouts in the final few minutes of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the game. They really waited for the most part until
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: after the two minute warning to call his timeouts. There
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: is a separate school thought that says, you call him
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: beforehand kind of a little bit up in the air.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So looking back with the benefit of hindsight, does briand
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: they feel like he handled that timeout usage correctly in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the final couple of minutes of the game.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I think if you if you wait to the
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: two minute warning, you know he was with three timeouts
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: left and you still need a touchdown.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: You know, that's that's plenty enough time to go down
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: And so you know, we try to do the best
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: we can to get with you know, what's on the
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: chart in terms of the analytics, to get the feedback
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: on on what that should be. You know, I think
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: we had plenty of time to come to go score.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: We didn't do that. That wasn't the you know, the issue.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: But you know, we'll always look at it to see
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: where we are on the field, what's it down in distance,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: and then go from there. But ultimately, what you're trying
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to do is, as you know, get the ball back
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: with as many timeouts as possible and and as much
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: time on the clock as possible.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: One play that was probably quite infuriating for a lot
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of fans in the final few minutes of that game
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: was when the Buckeye defense got called for having twelve
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: men on the field, handing Michigan a crucial first down
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: right at the end of the game. Any more details
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: on what happened.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: There, Yeah, yeah, I'm not going to get into all
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: of it, but yeah, it was there was a miscommunication
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: from up top, and you know, once once it got
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: sent in, it was hard to you know, got loud,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: and it got hard to get back, you know, off
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the field, and so it was a miscommunication.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't happened.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: The Buck guys are not only in the college football
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: playoff field comfortably, it also looks like they're going to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: get another home game. So what does that mean to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: this senior class obviously a very disappointed senior class right now,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but what does it mean to them to potentially have
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: another chance to end their home careers on good note.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I think there's a mix of emotions there.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: But I do think as we get closer to finding
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: out who we're playing, there'll be more and more excitement
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: around that. But I think to know that their season
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: isn't over, and that the last time they played with
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: each other isn't over, and that they still can achieve
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the goal of winning a national championship certainly is right there, and.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: You know they are.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I think with every day they're getting more and more
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: excited about that. But again, you don't just wake up
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: and say okay, on to the next thing. It just
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: doesn't work that way. But but we're getting there, and
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: that's why we're getting on the field today, to get
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: moving around and make sure everybody's together on this thing.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And then you know that you got to get that
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: first win.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: You know, in the playoffs, you've got to get that
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: first one, and then you just continue to build from
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: there and grow. But I know the senior is going
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: to do a good job leading here.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: The next couple.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Weeks, you saw Ohio State running the ball and particularly
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: running the ball between the tackles more than you probably expected.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: On Saturday, was that the game plan was the game
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: plan to attack the middle of the Michigan defense in
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the run game.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: No, no, I mean I think that there was definitely
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: times when we did that and that didn't turn out
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: very well. But there's also other times we tried some
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: other things as well, and I do think being in
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: the red zone coming out certainly played into that and
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: some of those were part of our pos But there's
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: no question that you know, the ball was run interiorly
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: too much in the game. I mean think that's clear
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: to see again, we did throw it I think, you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: thirty five times, and you know there were some plays
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to the outside, but yeah, overall just too you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the percentage was too high I running the ball inside.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: It is clear was Ryan Day more involved in calling
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: plays on Saturday than he has been in most games
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: You know, I try to give my feedback and try
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: to get you know, involved the much I can on
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: both sides. You know, I click go overrun defense, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: click over on offense, and you know, try to do
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: everything I can to help, yeah, to be a part
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: of it. So but yeah, I mean, ultimately, listen, I
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: mean I'm responsible. I'm the head coach. So that's that's
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: that's where the buck stops.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: One thing that may have limited Ohio State on offense
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: is the idea that, well, maybe they were a little
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: bit concerned about quarterback Will Howard after threw that crucial
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: early pick and and then also took that big shot
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and had to leave the game for a little bit.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Did the coaching staff maybe limit him and limit what
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: they tried to do on offense based on that?
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: You know, we go off of what the doctors say,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: and the doctors, you know, felt like he was okay
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: to go back into the game, and so in that moment,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: you know, we have to trust that that that he
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: is okay to do that. And you know, I think
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: a little bit too was was you know, the interception
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: coming out a little bit and I think you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: you then are in a similar situation down there in
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: a five yarn line on third and long. You know,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: we didn't execute the run, but defense is playing good
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: out of the punt, you know, get it out of there,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: see if the defense can.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Get a stop.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: But but no, I mean, at the end of the day,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: you know, we're going to just listen to the doctors
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: and got to go off their advice.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It was not all bad news for Ohio State on
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: offense on Saturday. Their drive right before halftime or they
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: went tempo boom boom, boom toom and at drill right
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: down the field touchdown their only touchdown of the game. Though, So,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: if Temple worked so well the driver right before the half,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: why did we not see a lot more of it
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: later in the game.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: We had tempo plays going into the game, you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I thought early on, you know, we kind of had
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a pace to us got into
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: the red zone again and bogged down. At the end
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: of the half, we were in a two minute drill
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: because it was more of a two minute situation than
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: it was just tempo. Looking back again, yeah, I don't
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: think as any way you could argue that tempo would
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: have helped us more in a game.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: We have talked over the years about the fact that
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the team that runs the ball always seems to win
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the Ohio State Michigan game, and that has become a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: story to the point that Ryan Day has talked about
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the fact that the team that always ruins the ball
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: always seems to win the Ohio State Michigan game. So
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: after he talked about having to win the rushing battle
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to win the game, does that sort of play into
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Michigan's hands because it feels like Michigan is a team
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: much more built to run the ball in Ohio State
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is more built to pass. So if Ohio State's trying
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to run the ball to win the game, does that
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: sort of play into Michigan's hands.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Well, I think there's two things there. I think we
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: certainly through the ball more than we passed it. I
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: mean through the ball more then we ran it. But
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: that I think I don't think that's your question. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: think the question is, you know what we got to
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: do what's best to win the game. Yeah, and that's
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: that's got to be the number one goal.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I think there's certain things that you have to do.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: And we have a list of like ten situations. You know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: the rushing yards is one of them, turnovers is one
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: of them, X plays is one of them. You go
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: through it so you don't just get stuck on one thing.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: But when you see something that's like undefeated over seventeen years,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: you got to make sure the guys understand that that's important,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: but doesn't necessarily mean like that's you got to do
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: whatever you can to win the game. That's the bottom line.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: And so you know, there's other ways to run the ball.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: You know, you can get the ball in a perimeter,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: you can you do different things, as you guys know.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: So you know, sometimes when you get down in there
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: inside the red zone, you know, he gets tighten there.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: You have to you know, be creative. And I think
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: we could have been more creative in those areas.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And finally, here's another one that I think a lot
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: of Ohio State fans have been asking since Saturday. This
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: is the fourth year in a row where Ohio State
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: is going to miss hitting on at least two of
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it's major goals. They've only got three every season. Number
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: one beat Michigan. Number two win the Big Ten, Number
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: three win the National Championship. Well, for the fourth year
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in a row, they did not beat Michigan. For the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: fourth year in a row, they are not going to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: win the Big Ten. Now that last one is still
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: out there, they could still win the National Championship. But
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: when people are asking Ryan Day, why is he the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: right guy to get the team there if he hasn't
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: been able to do it so far in the last few.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Years, I hear you's I can't sit here and tell
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: you that. You know, as I look back on the
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: four years, if there's like one thing in common, you know,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you look at each game and you can identify different
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: things that didn't go well and ultimately the results the result.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: You know, And so our guys first off, love Ohio State.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: They are completely bought in. You know.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I thought they played extremely hard in that game, and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I thought they wanted to win that game more than
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: anything else. And so I think the culture as strong
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: as it's ever been. I think we have great players,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I think we have great coaches. It was a bad day,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: and so now we have to go forward and we
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: got to you know, and in the mindset's going the
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: whole thing now, and that's it, Like we can't go
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: back and start, you know, second guessing things at this point.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Certainly you can imagine how that's happened here in the
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: last you know, a few days. But you know, we
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: have to move forward. We have to focus on that.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: And you know, again when you look at our type
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: of guys, you look at the program, you look at
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: you know, the way our guys compete, you look at
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: you know, the way our guys develop, You look at
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: we won a lot of games. We're ten and two.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I know, we didn't win this one and some key games,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: and that hurts. So we got to keep learning from
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: it and growing from it and building on it. Every
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: time you go through some of this, you learn more
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: and more, you know, and you know that has to
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: be the case here.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Well, the regular season is over for the buck Eyes,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: but the postseason, well that is just about to get started.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Is conference championship game weekend going to be some really
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: really exciting and interesting football games happening Friday and Saturday,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and then Sunday at noon, find out who Ohio State's playing,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: where Ohios It's playing. Very likely the first home playoff
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: game in Ohio State history. I know everyone's upset. That's
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: going to be history. That's going to be exciting. That
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: is just about two weeks away, should be in potentially
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a four game run in the books. Potentially for the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Buckeyes to make a run to the national championship. That
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: is still very much a possibility. There second in odds
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: right now in terms of being able to win the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: national championship. So the season is not over, no matter
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: what it might have felt like last Saturday afternoon. We
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: will be there for every step of it. At bucke
