• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the Ohio State Buckeyes will be here. I'm joining at
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Tony Gerderman at Buckeye Insider dot com, and Tony, we
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: need to talk about the four guys who are here
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: for Ohio State and what we want to talk to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: those guys about, because it feels like we have not
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: talked to Ryan Day in forever, don't. I don't know
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: we've actually talked to Ryan Day since the spring game.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I do is that possibly right.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It feels like it's been forever since, you know, we
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: saw him at summer camps, but you know, gutting him
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in front of a microphone and all that.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: So what are you most interested here?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Because we're at the point of the summer where it's like, what,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot of questions. What are you most
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: interested to hear about on Tuesday?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Well, it's I like to hear about the personnel, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: that's kind of where I immediately want to dive into.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And there'll be some big picture stuff, but I want
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: to know where Ian Moore and Austin Seerveld are.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I saw Brett Bielima was asked about do you know
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: who you're starting twenty two are? He's like about twenty
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: one of them? And I wonder, like, Ryan, do you
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: know you're starting twenty two He's like, well, we probably
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: got about twenty eight of them. Yeah, It's like it's
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: a different kind of question.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a good one, I think, And I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: don't I don't know if they know for sure right now,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And I don't know even if they do know for sure,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to say out loud
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that they know for sure that that is certainly a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: good one. Personal questions are always kind of the things
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that people are most interested in this time of year.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But it's always one of the things that coaches get.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: A little weird about.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: They don't want to they don't want to be too
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: honest with you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I ask things in certain ways, you almost have to
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: ask about the person rather than the competition. Yeah, I like,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: how is Austin seen? How is Ian Moore doing?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: How is Austin enjoying his new spot at waiting for
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: him to tip his hand?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Is it right guard? Is it? We'll see.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to ask him about Kyle Whittingham, the new
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Michigan head coach, who he has I mean, he had
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a great relationship with when Whittingham was the Utah head coach.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: We saw them getting along really really well at the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Rose Bowl several years ago. I'm interested to ask to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: him about that and the.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Return question mark of respect to the rivalry between these
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: two teams, because it was one of those things we
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: heard about for years and years and years, and all
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of a sudden the answer started to get a little
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: different and they were sort of hedged in a different way.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So interested to see if that has changed it all
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: after the changeover from Shiran Moore to Kyle Whittingham. How
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: about Julian saying starting quarterback for Ohio State, this is
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a year where sometimes they have a real quarterback competition.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they have a pretend quarterback competition. This year there's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: no no one's pretending. There's no real quarter crop back competition.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: What do you want to ask?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Julian saying, Yeah, I saw a quote and I'm sorry,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I don't remember where it was from. One of his
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: teammates talked about Julian as a leader and how he's this.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Calie cool guy Carson Hinzman, Okay, yeah.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: And then when he gets fired up, he's like it's
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: it's fun to watch. So I want to be like, so,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: what what fires you?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: What gets you to that point? How sustainable is it?
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Do you need like do you need to hulk up
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to get there? Or you know, can you just can
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: you just stay on that level? And you know, he
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: gets criticized a lot for that demeanor.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: C J.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Stroud was the same way. And yet you know, you
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: want your quarterbacks to even to be even kill except
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: for when you want them to be fiery and when
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: when do you want that? Well, only when things go
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: right and you've made the right play. Don't be fire
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: you all the time because you might cost us. Don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: be even killed all the time. Like it's that's tom
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: as as Ryan Day said, you know, that's the that's
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the science of being a quarterback.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I always think back to former Iowa quarterback Drew Tait,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: who was when Iowa was winning.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He was fiery when Iowa was losing. That meant he
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: was a jerk, and.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It was the same stuff, and it was just how
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: do people around you interpret that?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: That's eccentric? Crazy, just depends on how rich you are.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Exactly, yeah, exactly Jeremiah Smith. I feel like Jeremiah Smith
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: is he's a little bit like Denzel Burke.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Where you I'm not sure if you know where I'm
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: going with this.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Like Denzel Burke, you can ask Dollan zeb Barke questions
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and you would get a real unfiltered answer. I feel
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: like we're getting that a little bit with Jeremiah Smith
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: now where when he says something about a guy, you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: can usually take that to the bank. I'm kind of
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: interested to know who is Jeremiah Smith who has surprised
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith in a good way. Maybe this spring, maybe
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: since this spring, because we have we have heard an
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: enough from him that I kind of feel like this
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is a little bit of a barometer of real truth here.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, revisit his comments about or a little
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and say, hey, are you willing to speak more now
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: and see if he is. But yeah, that just seeing
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: him blossom into the spokesman because he was. He's been
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: around media for a long time, but he always wasn't
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: always like you know, the most effusive in his answers
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: is some kind of sometimes is you know, short and whatnot.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But he's gotten more comfortable with that. So I'm interested
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: just to see, like, how does he hold court? Then
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you know, hey, hey, would you like to win the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Bleetnic conflict? Do you think? You know? Is that something
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: you know? Your your personal goals? What you know is
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: what do you what are you trying to do this year?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: And obviously he's not we're trying to win a championship
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: that sort of thing, But the personal goals that he
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: has I'm interested to see. Also, I think uh be
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: asking about Texas and the way Texas has been able
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to handle him how much does he think about that?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it feels like there's potentially a lot on
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the line for him in that Texas game.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Last guy we got to talk about.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Everyone always wants to talk offense first, and now.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: We're finally getting to defense.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: We're finally getting around to Jayalen McLean and Jalen McClain
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: is finally not in Caleb Down's shadow.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: What are you interested in asking him about?
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, he talked about being in Caleb Caleb
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: down shadow in the past and now is a great
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: place to learn. And I do think you're going to
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: see a lot of Jalen McLain as Caleb Downs this year,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: and so I'm interested to know how excited he is
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: for this season and the role that he has. And
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the thing is like, you know, what do you think
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: you're going to be doing? Well, you know, I can't
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: tell you that those sorts of things where I'd like
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: to know where are you going to be? And I'll
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: of course say I can't tell you that, but you
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: just keep an eye out because I'll be there, I'll
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: be here, I'll be over there. I don't want to
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: reveal too much, but just basically to see his excitement
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: for what he's being asked to do this year.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's that is Wednesday here at Big Ten
