EX-Buckeye Coach LEAKS Brutal TRUTH before Ohio State vs Tennessee | Ryan Day · College Football Addiction: A Show About All Things College Football

  Speaker 1: Welcome back to College Football Addiction. Presented by PrizePix. More
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: on them in just a moment. But Zach Smith, Minister
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of Sports, and we've got the game of the year
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Game of the year, right?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's easy to say that in week two. But it
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: looks like it so far, and we'll see what happens
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: with other games. But I was talking to– I literally
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: just got off of one of these with Jerry Hamilton
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: over at On Texas Football. Does a great job. And
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: so I'll link that at the end so people can
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: watch it. But I told him, I said, I think
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: this game is more important for Texas overall, just being
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: at home the way that last year went. I think
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: their tech, their schedule is really tough to just like
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Ohio state. It's probably the toughest new schedules in the country.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: The narrative around Sark, not winning games that, you know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: maybe they should win. But it is massively important for
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: both teams. I do wonder if, that pressure on Texas
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: almost gives Ohio state an advantage to just, Hey man,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you're going on the road and playing, play, go, go
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: play loose. We won this last year. Like, I wonder
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: how that impacts it. And I knew as a former coach, like,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: do you feel like that plays into things or not really?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, it's, you get in games like this
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: and it's, I mean, it's a Superbowl. I mean, and
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: as much as you want them to play loose, you
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: want to, you want that looseness to come from confidence. And,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and so there's not a really a way to, to
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: make this seem like it's not critically important. I mean,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: you look at Ohio State's schedule and they have, what,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I think, three games, three top 10 opponents, and you
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: add in USC as a top 15 opponent. They pretty
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: much all are critical. Now, if you win one, they
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: become less critical because you've got to go two and
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: two in those games, right, to make the playoffs. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: so if they beat Texas, that matchup at Indiana is
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: going to be a little less stressful because you have
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: two to give still. But you've got to figure this
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: game right here Think about last year. I mean, Ohio
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: state and Texas both went into that game and come
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: to find out Texas lost that game. And you would
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: probably say, all right, you're okay though. You got, you
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: got two to give still. And granted one of them
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: was Florida, which was inexcusable, but then they dropped two more.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And it's like, no, that Ohio state game was pretty
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: freaking critical. You win that early matchup like LSU just
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: did against Clemson. And you're like, all right, who like deep,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: deep breath. Like we, we passed one test and we
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: haven't given one of our chips up yet. And I think, Now,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: if we're talking about pressure on coaches, oh, I think
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: this is far more important for Sark because Sark doesn't
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: win shit. And he loses games he's not supposed to.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: And he hasn't won an SEC championship. He hasn't won
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: a national championship. And Ryan Day's beat his ass twice.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: And this one's at home in a great atmosphere. I
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: think there's a lot of pressure on Sark because if
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: they lose again this year, my concern for them is,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: They start to lose the locker room because it'll feel very,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: very reminiscent of last year where they lost to Texas.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: And then they'll be looking at the program and the
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: head coach like, damn, maybe you're not it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like an all in year for Texas.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And I feel like there's very few programs where that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is the case. Like, I think, you know, Ohio State,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Indiana last year playing, you're playing with some house money.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: If they don't win it all, it's fine. Plus, it's Indiana.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Ohio State won two years ago.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Nobody's firing Ryan Day if they go 11-1 and lose
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in the semifinal.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Some of your fans are kind of crazy, though, so maybe.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: But with Texas, they're all the way in.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I think Oregon's that way. They're all the way in.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And there's only a few.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I feel like most people understand there's a lot of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: other people playing a lot of money. If they don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: do it this year with Arch and what they did
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in the portal and Simmons and all those guys, it
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: does start to feel like dude, if not now, then when,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like, and I know coaches go through that.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've been part of staffs. Like it, sometimes
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: it's a hump you got to get over.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that landing or Sark or any
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of these guys like can't do it, but that question
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: does start to come up of like, okay, man, how
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: many more resources do you need?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Like you got to go win games in the playoffs.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. And I think you also, there's something to be
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: said about having a really good quarterback, though. I would
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: contend that arch is pretty above average and way overhyped,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: but you have that, quote unquote, big time quarterback in
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: what's likely his final year. That's Dante Moore at Oregon.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: That's CJ Carr at Notre Dame, Julian Stanton at Ohio State,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Arch at Texas. I mean, I wouldn't put them in
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the same category, but then, you know, Georgia and there's
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: a couple other schools that have a veteran guy that's
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: not in that category. And I think it's, I mean,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: you're looking at it like, man, this, it better happen
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: now because unlike with Quinn Ewers, where you had Arch
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: in the wings, I don't know if you have the
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: next number one player in the country, just waiting to
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: take the reins of an offense. Yeah.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: When you look at this matchup, the first thing that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: comes to mind and we talked about in the off
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: season is the offensive line and what that looks like
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: up against one of the better defensive fronts that they'll
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: see all year. Um, I, do you feel any, I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: don't know if you remember what you said, but, uh,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you didn't say nice things.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'll say that when I.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Asked about the offensive line of the off season, where
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: we had today on, uh, on September 9th.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, they figured out their left tackle position. Not
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: that we'll, Like anything, we'll find out how good they are.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: They played Ball State. We'll see when they play a
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: real team. But the concerning part was their right tackle
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: was abysmal the first two drives. Shit, the first play
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: of the game, he went the wrong way. They were
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: going to stretch to the right. He went to the left.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, it's play one of the season. You
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: talk about foreshadowing what's to come. And he got benched
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: after the second series. They still have issues that they're
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: trying to work through. I think they have figured out
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: what their next attempt is. at an offensive line looks like,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: but this is a different beast. And I mean, fortunately there's,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: they're loaded on the defensive line. So it's not like
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: these guys are going to be shocked by some like
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: supreme talent that they've never seen. But yeah, I'm still concerned.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: The only solace I found this off season was I
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: did an art. I did a film series breakdown in
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: August of like the top 10 quarterbacks in college football.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: And just one by one, you know, a couple of
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: days in between broken, broke down the quarterback film. And
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the most glaring thing I saw out of all of it,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: was Texas' O-line might have been worse last year. They
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: were atrocious on the offensive line. Now, unlike Ohio State,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: who took zero transfers, they took a handful of transfers
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: trying to plug the holes. So I question Texas' O-line
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: just as much as I question Ohio State's.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: What about on the other side, just the matchups that...
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: this game presents, whether it's Sanchez and Coleman or Smith,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: like that part is fun. Even for a while. I mean,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you gotta love that, like with your background, but like
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the matchups in this game, but obviously, you know, I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: didn't even mention, but the best player in the game
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and the sport, uh, on the other side of wide
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: receiver and then we can go and even really the, the,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the skill positions all over, right. Whether it's arch or saying,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: or Hollywood's mothers or bow, or it is, it is
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: insane how much skill talent there is in this game.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Like ridiculous.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: There's some superstar names, you know what I mean? Some big,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: big name guys. I'm definitely, I don't want to say
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I'm excited about it, but I think the storyline is
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: going to be Colin Simmons and, and, and what Ohio,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Ohio state has a first time starter and a left
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: tackle and a kid that got benched against ball state
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: at right tackle. Like that's, that's not the greatest of
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: scenarios to go block Colin Simmons. But so I think
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: that's a big storyline. Obviously the two receivers from Texas,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo going against the secondary that
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I think has a chance to be really good. I mean, they,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Devin Sanchez has leveled up a pretty significant level from
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: last year to this year. He played a bunch as
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: a true freshman, mostly on third down. But, I mean,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: meaningful snaps. He started every third down against Texas in
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: game one last year. And then Jermaine Matthews, I think,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: really leveled up his game. So I think the secondary
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: is going to be fun to watch against Arch and
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: those receivers. But I'm more– you know, and I told
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: you this before the show, I'm more early in the year.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I'm more into coaches because like, we don't know what
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: anyone is yet. Like even Cam Coleman, like we know
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: he's a good player, but how good he might be
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: as good as Jeremiah shit, maybe better. We don't know.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: We have no idea what he is, but the coaches,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: we know what they are. And so I'm really, really
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: excited to see what Matt Patricia does to Arch Manning.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Like what is his plan to attack Arch Manning to
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: take those receivers out? And even the thing that I
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: keep bringing, going back to that, that I don't feel
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: like no one is talking about, is the fact that
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Steve Sarkeesian is a whiny, blaming baby. He blames everyone
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: for something. He blamed last year not making the playoffs
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: because they had to play Ohio State, neglecting the fact
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: they lost to a terrible Florida team that fired their coach.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: And so last year he fired Pete Kwiatkowski. They had
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: a top 15 defense in the country, and he fired
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the D.C. to bring in Will Muschamp, who, albeit, when
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: he was at Texas 20 years ago, was like a guru.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: He was like one of the top coordinators in the country,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: but he hasn't called a defense in like something like
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: 12 or 14 years. And you can point to Georgia,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: but we know he didn't call, he was a co-coordinator
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: at Georgia. And the other side of it that no
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: one wants to admit, not Texas fans, is he got
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: demoted at Georgia.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I'll get right back to the Ohio State side of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: our Ohio State Texas preview. Make sure that you are
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: on the Price Picks app during this game, before this game,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: after this game, Use code HMA. All new users who
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: play a $ 5 lineup and win will get $ 150 in
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: lineups instantly. Give me the more on Jeremiah Smith's receiving total.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Sheesh, let's get that right.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Receiving total, I know that he's not historically had great
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: games against Texas.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I think he does this weekend. Give me the more
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Give me the less on Arch's passing total. I think
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: that they're going to try and establish the run. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if this is slower to start. I
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: do think there will be some explosives that will make
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: this tough.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: That's a big number.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I have confidence he does it
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: against Ohio State's secondary this weekend.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Give me the less on Arch. Give me the more
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: on Jeremiah, and let's roll. Get on the PrizePix app. Again,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: code is HMA. Now back to the interview.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: And they'll come back at you with, well, Kirby said
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: it was because he wanted to watch his son play football.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: And I'm here to tell you that's never happened in
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: the history of football. No one has ever stepped down
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: from a D.C. job for two years because they just
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: want to watch their kid and then leave and go
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: to Texas. That doesn't happen. So I don't know how
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: good Will Muschamp is. So I want to see the
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Ryan Davis, Will Muschamp matchup kind of, and you know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: they did a pretty damn good job. Pete Krakowski did
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: a great job taking out Jeremiah Smith. He had one
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: catch the one year and like three catches the next
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: year in the opener. They did a good job with,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: with double coverages, bracket coverages, taking them out. Pete Krakowski's gone.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: So it was what's Will Muschamp's plan going to be
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: to take away Jeremiah and what's Ryan going to do
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to make sure he can't moving him around, hitting him
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: in the backfield, jet sweeps in the slot, all the
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: different ways. That's what I'm most excited about is kind
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: of the chess match between Matt Patricia and really arch.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And then Ryan day and, and we'll must champ.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: You mentioned the, uh, you mentioned arch there.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I think say, and gets a lot of flack for,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you know, people just kind of doubting him, which is fine.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Like everybody, that's what we do on social media now
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: is we just hate on everybody. 70,000 completion percentage. And
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like, Oh, but this one thing, um,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: which whatever, like everybody has their faults, right? Very, very
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: few guys are perfect. Um, arch, I feel like maybe
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: get some name benefit of the doubt. Although there are
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: plenty of arch haters too. Like, don't, don't get me wrong.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: People love to see, you know, great names, great players fail. Um,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know that there's a massive quarterback advantage either
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: way in this. Like, I think that's, this is not
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: like a, you know, Like, there's not a Dante Moore
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: or a Darren Mensah or, like, C.J.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Carr, like, where you're like, ah, that's probably the edge.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is pretty wide open for the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: guy that can go out there and get the ball
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to those playmakers.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think they're in similar– similar places
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: as quarterbacks. Like Julian gets a lot of criticism, but
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's just because of that expectation level of
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the quarterback play at Ohio state, because he, he led
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the country in almost everything. Like what more do you
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: want a guy to do?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: It's not good enough.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: No, not good enough. But at the same time, I'm
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: probably his biggest critic. Like last year I was not negative,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: but just critical, critical of him because in big moments
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: in big games, I felt like he wasn't like a baller.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Like he didn't go get you a first down. He
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: didn't extend a play. I mean, in the playoff game,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: the pass pro kind of not even break down. It
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: was good pass pro. He steps up and they did
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: a great job in coverage. Everyone's covered and he's sitting
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: there waiting, waiting. He has all the time in the world.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: There's no one within 10 yards of him and he
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: throws the ball out of bounds. And you're like, dude,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: go get a couple yards.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: It was free.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: And that's painful where Arch is not like that. Julian's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: a much better passer, much better pure quarterback than Arch.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: But Arch is a guy that will, he'll use his feet.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: He'll use his athleticism. I think he's a tough kid.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: When you watch him on film, he takes hits, he
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: bounces up. Like, I think that's the difference between the two.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of a wash. And I think we
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: will find out, because I know both of them had
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: a big offseason. And we saw in the Ball State game,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: you know, Julian made a decision to run. His first
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: rushing touchdown ever was for Saturday.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: And it might have been the first time he ever
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: had positive yardage in a game. But Arch, you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: then throws a pick, has some inconsistencies, and I know
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: he balled out against Texas State, but you're expecting perfection
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: when you play Texas State. Like, Julian was pretty perfect
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: against Ball State. Yeah. So we'll see. I mean, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: ultimately none of that matters. Like none of that. No
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: one was in that game. No one went in like nervous.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: They just went in like, oh, hell yeah, we get
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: to win a game, put up stats, have fun, play
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: in front of a crowd. Now they're both going to
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: the game like, all right, you got some NFL dudes
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: all over this field and this is going to be contentious.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: It's going to get hard. It's going to get tough.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Are you going to will your team to win? And
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: that's what we don't know about either of them yet.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: When you're in a game like this and there's so
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: much hype and there's so much expectations for both teams,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: having been in those locker rooms at multiple programs is
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: how much do you have to like, cause you don't
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: want to scale guys back so much, but you, you
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: do want them to play within themselves or are these like,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: are they able to do it because they've been there
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and done it before?
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Or like, just talk to me about that. Like in
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the locker room, pregame leading up all that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, definitely kids that are playing for the first time,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: this is an experience. And you've got to coach them
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: through it. I mean, all week long, it's all about messaging, right?
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Like you have to make sure they understand the assignment.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: And the assignment is you need to do everything you can,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: work the game, study film, in here extra. Like this
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: is a big game. This is a top five game.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: You don't treat this– I don't care what any coach says.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: This is not the same as last week. Like this
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: is different. This is a top five matchup on prime time.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: And so you've got to put in the work. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: then at the end of the day, you don't need
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: to do anything other than your job. And you need
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: to understand your assignment. And you just have to do
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do. And you're going to have
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: success and you're going to win. You don't have to
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: do anything extra human. You don't have to do anything spectacular.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: You just need to do your job and win your one-on-one.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: And that was Ryan Day's whole message this week. because
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: it is. Jeremiah Smith's not going to win the game himself. Now,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: he might have a great game, and he might be
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: able to make all the plays that he can make,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: and that certainly will be a huge advantage for Ohio State,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: but he has to understand that's all he can do.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: He can just do his job, and everybody needs to
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: do it together, and just go play. Now, it's going
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: to be high emotion, high energy. It's not going to
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: be cool, calm, and collected, like, let's go out there
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: and ball. The veins are going to be popping. Everyone's
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: fists are going to be clenched. It's going to be intense,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: but you have to, you have to trust your training
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: and that's all you have to do. Trust your training
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: and go do your job.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Speaking on Jeremiah specifically, when he mentioned the game at
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: big 10 media days.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: That he was most excited about, it was this one.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I believe he has a total of seven catches and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: no touchdowns in this matchup the last two years. Now
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Ohio state's won the game. So I'm sure he's happy
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: about that. Could, I mean, obviously Texas will focus a
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: lot of attention on him.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And so maybe it'll be another thing where.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: He doesn't go off in, in all the stat sheet,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: but you know, you win the game because you're able
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to get the ball to other guys. But when you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: look at a guy like this, that, you know, it's
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: probably his last time playing them unless you were to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: see him in the playoff again, going to the NFL
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: next year. Like when you look at guys like that,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you know, would you predict that he does have a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: good game? Would you say that Texas puts all their
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: energy there? Like what, what are your thoughts on how
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: that works out?
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I know this much. I'm not betting against him. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: the other side of that is, I mean, I think
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: what happened in the playoffs when they just bottled him
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: up one catch for three yards, I think Ryan Day
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: looked himself hard in the mirror and was like, wow,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: that can never happen again. I'm going to have this
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: kid for three years. I can never let that happen again.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: And he never has. I mean, the Texas game, game
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: one of last season, The stat line looks like that,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: but that was not bottling Jeremiah Smith up. That was
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: a very conservative game plan, trying to bleed the clock,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: shorten the game, play great defense, run the football. I mean,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: they barely threw the ball. It was more protecting Julian
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Sayen and just trying to win that early marquee matchup.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: It wasn't that they took away Jeremiah. So I think
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Ryan's going to have a really good plan to make
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: sure they can't. And then part of that is these
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: other receivers, Devin McCune, who looked really good on Saturday.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: He's got to show up. Ohio State has to run
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: the ball really well if they're going to have a
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: light box to double Jeremiah. They have to hit the
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: receivers on the other side of the field to shift
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: coverage over there a little bit. And if Sark and
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: if Will Muschamp want to die ensuring that Jeremiah doesn't
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: touch the ball, then death be to you, I guess.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're going to lose the game if those
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: other things are happening. So at some point, they'll have
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: to adjust, and then Jeremiah will find a one-on-one. He'll
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: find his opportunities. And I, I would imagine that's how
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: the game goes. It's just going to be a back
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: and forth. Yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a pick your poison, right? Like it's,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: do you, do you want to let him get his,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: or do you want to let others again?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: You mentioned this too. And I thought it was a
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: great point.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Could he go out and have the game of his life?
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he could do that every time
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: he steps on the field.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know that I'm going to look at
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: his stat line and say, oh, well, this is how
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the result went. Because there's a lot of other factors
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that come into this. Where do you think Ohio State
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: has the biggest advantage outside of the coaching stuff that
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: we talked about?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I think they have an advantage. I think always, one,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: their defense looked incredible in week one. And I know
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: the opponent was shit. But what Matt Patricia does with
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: these guys and what he did Saturday, he ran– to
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: not bore you a scheme. He ran a three linebacker
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: personnel group and a very vanilla defense all game long
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: against 11 personnel, which is unheard of. You always go
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: nickel against 11 and he did it. And I don't
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: think Texas is going to take the bait. They're like,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: he could never do that against Texas. But he did
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: it as kind of like a middle finger to Texas. Like,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not giving you shit.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not even going to put a nickel in.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: And so he's the true difference maker. And we'll see
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: what this Texas offensive line looks like because Ohio State's
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: D line looks really good. They're deep. And they're rotating
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys. I mean, they played two true
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: freshman receivers early in the game, like second, third drive.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: They played two young linebackers, you know, the backups. They're
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: rotating four linebackers. And if they can do that, that's
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: going to be a really fresh defense. Like really fresh.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: They had some young pass rushers that really flashed on Saturday.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: So I think Ohio State has a slight advantage defensively,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: despite their two receivers. And like I said before, I
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: think Arch was just above average. But those two receivers
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: are fantastic. I think they're phenomenal. I think they were
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: really good last year at their respective schools. And then
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I think it's similar on the other side. I mean,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I think Texas secondary is really strong. and Ohio State's
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: coming in with some dudes at receiver. So I don't
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: know that there's an advantage, but it's must-watch TV.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: That's for sure.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: It's going to come down to quarterback play, honestly. I
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: think if Arch has gotten better and has improved and
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: is what everyone has always said he is or was
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: or would be, and Julian takes those few things he
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: needed to improve on, you're going to have a bout
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: between two of the top quarterbacks in the country. If
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Arch hasn't, I think Julian is the difference.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. when i can't not ask you about this but
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: how much trouble is michigan in this weekend dude i.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: I mean i'm trying not to be biased because i
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: want them to be in severe trouble But this is
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: truly a win-win for me and even, well, me more
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: than you, but you too, because if they beat Oklahoma,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be insufferable on it. Insufferable. They lost
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: to a Mac team and then beat one of your
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: ranked SEC teams. I think they're in big trouble. I mean,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I broke down the Michigan offense yesterday, and man. You
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: probably didn't have to work very hard for it. No.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: It was like grab a popcorn, pour a bourbon, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: this is going to be fun. it was really bad.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, bad. Their offensive line is not very good.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Bryce Underwood looks like a kid that's never been coached
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: or is defiant, like doesn't take coaching. And it's so
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: sad because you watch him throw the ball and you're like,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I really think he's the best. He has the most
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: talent of any quarterback in the country. I mean, his
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: arm strength, the way it spins, his athleticism. Like, I
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: don't know that there's someone more talented than him in
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: the country, but boy, is he bad. Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: For them to not have a running game, And to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: not have an offensive line like that shocks me. Like
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I thought they were a nine, nine, 10 win team.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, they won nine last year. I thought they
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: were a nine, 10 win team just solely based on
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: defense and run the ball. And then it's like, if
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Bryce takes any step at all, then yeah, you might
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: be talking about the.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Playoffs with them.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: And my gosh, to, for him to not have taken
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: a step for the offensive line to have regressed for
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the running.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Game to be non-existent. against, yeah, not against Brent Venables.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Like, that's why they're in trouble is because they got
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the best defensive coordinator of all time coming to their house. Like,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: thank God that game's not in Norman for them because,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: my Lord, it'd be a 20-point spread. I think that's
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: where it's concerning. Now, football's stupid, and so they'll probably
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: come out and look a lot better this week.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: That's what always happens. After week one, a team that
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: looked terrible, like Clemson's going to make someone like us
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: look stupid at some point because they'll wake up, they'll
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: come out of their shell, they won't make the same
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: critical mistakes and all of a sudden they'll beat someone
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: and you'll be like, well, that's out the window. Yeah.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe LSU just really was that good. So quick, quick
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: thought there.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, Dabo's program has been broken for four years. I've
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: said it every year and LSU looked ridiculous. And I mean,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: how could they, they didn't do anything bad. Like everything
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: they did worked everything. And it was, it was with
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: brunt force. I mean, that was not, and Lane Kiffin's
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: always run the ball, but not like that. I mean,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: he was pounding the ball down Clemson's throat and I'm
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: just like, oh my God, make it stop. It's like
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: watching someone get beat up. You're like, just stop hitting them.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Do you have a score in this one?
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I really don't.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't either, to be honest with you.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm going to take Ohio State 24-21 maybe,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: but I could see this being so many things. I
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: could see it being like last year where it's so
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: low scoring and Such a defensive battle. But I also
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: could see Ryan Day realizing that was his biggest flaw
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: last year and why the season ended the way it did.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: And he comes out saying, no, we have to kind
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: of reminisce the Georgia playoff loss where our offense went
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: for 40 and we were explosive after explosive after explosive.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I think that's what he needs to do. I just
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: don't trust he will do it.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Fingers crossed.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: What do you guys have coming on the channel and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: all your content and platforms and everything this week before
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the game gets here and then postgame?
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, shoot, now it's Wednesday. So Thursday and Friday are
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: our big preview episodes. We're going to dive into what
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: little we can. I mean, I don't really trust analytics
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: at all until about week six when at least everybody's
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: played one or two decent teams. But after having the
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: film studies done, we'll dive into kind of the personnel
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: matchups and really just my thoughts on the game from
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: a film perspective. Because this early in the year, it's like,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: who knows? I mean, even... The best part is Ryan
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Day doesn't know. Steve Sarkisian doesn't know. And then you'll
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: turn on some analyst like, or Paul Feinbaum. And he's like,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: they don't stand a chance. They're going to get blown out.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Neither head coach thinks that. How do you have the
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: audacity to think that?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Every time. Minister Sports everywhere. He gets back on YouTube.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, back on YouTube. Back on YouTube.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: They couldn't keep you off forever. Check them out, man.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: We appreciate you a ton for hanging out today, bud.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you too, TJ.
