- 0:19Speaker 1: No complaints about the vibes around Ohio State's seventy to
- 0:22Speaker 1: zero win over Grambling Join by Kevin Noon of Buckehetdle
- 0:25Speaker 1: dot com. Kevin, that was one of those games where
- 0:29Speaker 1: you can't really take anything away from it. But also
- 0:33Speaker 1: that was exactly what Ohio State was probably hoping that
- 0:36Speaker 1: would look like.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Yeah, you go into that type of game and you
- 0:39Speaker 3: want to be able to roll a lot of players
- 0:41Speaker 3: in and out of the lineup. Ohio State was able
- 0:43Speaker 3: to do that. You don't want to give up any
- 0:45Speaker 3: big plays. You don't want to have, you know, breakdowns.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Ohio State really didn't have any breakdowns. Grambling State had
- 0:52Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty six yards seventy two in the air,
- 0:54Speaker 3: ninety four on the ground.
- 0:56Speaker 1: You know.
- 0:57Speaker 3: It just it was and I think one of the
- 0:58Speaker 3: most important things Ohio State. You know, from all I
- 1:02Speaker 3: could tell, got out of the game healthy, because that's
- 1:04Speaker 3: that's one of the big concerns when you you play
- 1:07Speaker 3: kind of one of these, you know, squash type of
- 1:09Speaker 3: games or whatever. You don't want you don't want to
- 1:11Speaker 3: have an injury happening just because of you know, just
- 1:15Speaker 3: something stupid.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah, no, no injuries that were that I saw, certainly,
- 1:20Speaker 1: And it was just it was a very efficient, leave
- 1:25Speaker 1: no doubt kind of game. It was this is one
- 1:27Speaker 1: where they should have left no doubt and they left
- 1:29Speaker 1: absolutely no doubt whatsoever. Julian saying eighteen for nineteen, three
- 1:33Speaker 1: hundred and six yards, four touchdowns and a pick. That
- 1:36Speaker 1: is I think the perfect game for a coach because
- 1:40Speaker 1: eighteen for nineteen three hundred and six yards, four touchdowns. Boy,
- 1:43Speaker 1: those are incredible numbers.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Ah, but you have an interception to teach off of.
- 1:47Speaker 3: You need to have that teaching moment. And that interception
- 1:50Speaker 3: was in the end zone or like right out or
- 1:52Speaker 3: it's like the one I guess they didn't give them
- 1:54Speaker 3: a touchback was right at the one we're up in
- 1:57Speaker 3: the press box, We're like, oh, here comes the safety.
- 1:59Speaker 3: And then then then they were able to march a
- 2:00Speaker 3: little bit, and then of course they had to punt.
- 2:03Speaker 3: But yeah, you always want to have a little something
- 2:06Speaker 3: held back, to be able to have you know, have
- 2:11Speaker 3: your young player sharpened the sword, be able to you know,
- 2:15Speaker 3: to do those types of things. So yeah, I think
- 2:17Speaker 3: I think it was the perfect line as you put it.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Yeah, and looking through the rest of the box, Scorg
- 2:23Speaker 1: Julian saying six for seven for seventy one yards and
- 2:25Speaker 1: a touchdown.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Lincoln Key Sorry, that was Lincoln Keenhole. Sorry.
- 2:29Speaker 1: He he came in, looked good again, very efficient, manage
- 2:35Speaker 1: the game, did what he needed to do. You got
- 2:38Speaker 1: a couple passes for Tavan Saint Clair, you kind of
- 2:41Speaker 1: you got You got your exactly what you wanted out
- 2:43Speaker 1: of your quarterbacks.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Eight different guys ran the ball.
- 2:46Speaker 1: I think I know our audience, Kevin, Everyone's gonna want
- 2:50Speaker 1: us to talk about which of the eight guys who
- 2:51Speaker 1: ran the ball.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Oh, I think he played it? Oh no wrong, bo Jackson. Yeah,
- 2:57Speaker 3: everybody's going to talk about bo Jackson and and why
- 3:00Speaker 3: is he not not only the starter, but the superstarter
- 3:03Speaker 3: at this point, you know, going in before everybody. I mean,
- 3:07Speaker 3: you know, he looked really good. I mean, I'm not
- 3:09Speaker 3: gonna lie. He looked really good. I mean, let's be honest.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Grambling State probably a little you know, a little had
- 3:16Speaker 3: they had their soul stolen already by that point. But
- 3:18Speaker 3: you know, you can't you can't take anything away from
- 3:20Speaker 3: Bo Jackson. He did everything that was asked of him.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Yeah, in nine carries, one hundred and eight yards a touchdown,
- 3:26Speaker 1: had a fifty one yard er for his long but
- 3:29Speaker 1: he you know, I think the conversation around Bo Jackson,
- 3:34Speaker 1: everyone's going to want to know, Like you said, well,
- 3:36Speaker 1: why isn't he starting, Why isn't he getting more carries?
- 3:39Speaker 2: All the stuff that coaches are going to look.
- 3:40Speaker 1: For is you know, it's great if you can run
- 3:44Speaker 1: the ball and pick up yardage, that's great. It's all
- 3:47Speaker 1: the other stuff that actually impacts who plays and when.
- 3:53Speaker 3: No, I agree. I mean, there's so much that goes
- 3:55Speaker 3: into it. It's just not a matter of well, you know,
- 3:58Speaker 3: let's just sit there and just pick you know, pick
- 4:01Speaker 3: and shoes and whatever I mean you need to have.
- 4:04Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of systems that go into
- 4:07Speaker 3: place and everything else with I mean this is you know,
- 4:10Speaker 3: this is who's getting the ones and everything else. I mean, now,
- 4:12Speaker 3: just does bo Jackson, you know, maybe get a couple
- 4:15Speaker 3: more ones? I mean, you know, maybe I don't know,
- 4:18Speaker 3: but he certainly gets some more twos. And I think that,
- 4:21Speaker 3: you know, we're not surprised that Bo Jackson looked like this,
- 4:25Speaker 3: And we we've been saying all along for those who
- 4:27Speaker 3: have been watching the channel that you know, Bo Jackson,
- 4:29Speaker 3: as the season goes on, is going to become a
- 4:31Speaker 3: little bit more of a fixture out there. And with
- 4:35Speaker 3: Grambling State being on the schedule where it was, we
- 4:37Speaker 3: knew that this was going to kind of be a
- 4:39Speaker 3: you know, a chance to arrive and and and he
- 4:42Speaker 3: he made the most out of it. When you sit
- 4:44Speaker 3: there and New Coe, Ohio State had four touchdowns on
- 4:46Speaker 3: the ground and he had one of them.
- 4:47Speaker 1: C J.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Donaldson, Isaiah West, you know, and and then Sam Sam
- 4:51Speaker 3: Dixon at the end of the game. So you know,
- 4:54Speaker 3: it was kind of a thing. When I saw Sam
- 4:55Speaker 3: in there, I was like, Oh, I covered you in
- 4:57Speaker 3: high school. Think you know, I'm glad to see I'm
- 4:59Speaker 3: glad to see in the mix.
- 5:01Speaker 1: And when when you're looking at who's going to play
- 5:05Speaker 1: and when.
- 5:06Speaker 2: They're looking at pass pro you know, can you can
- 5:10Speaker 2: you be the lead blocker on stuff? You can you
- 5:13Speaker 2: catch the ball out of the backfield.
- 5:14Speaker 1: All that stuff sort of factors into those playing time
- 5:17Speaker 1: decisions as well.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Wide receivers. It was a very efficient day.
- 5:21Speaker 1: You had Jeremiah Smith five catches, one hundred nineteen yards,
- 5:24Speaker 1: two touchdowns, but you had four different guys catch touchdown passes.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Carnel Tate got one, Jelannie Thurman got one, Will cast
- 5:31Speaker 1: Merrick got one. This was just you know, this was
- 5:34Speaker 1: a very very efficient game where they were at one
- 5:37Speaker 1: point they had three hundred yards passing or three hundred
- 5:40Speaker 1: years offense with like five minutes left in the second
- 5:45Speaker 1: quurt in the first quarter. It was there was a
- 5:47Speaker 1: point where they were on on pace for some of
- 5:49Speaker 1: like twelve hundred yards passing and obviously didn't quite get there,
- 5:53Speaker 1: probably could have if they wanted to, but it was
- 5:56Speaker 1: the offense was very efficient, a very efficient, very effective
- 5:59Speaker 1: all game line. On defense, they rolled a lot of
- 6:03Speaker 1: guys through there, but it was it was one of
- 6:06Speaker 1: those games where, yeah, they gave up some yards on
- 6:08Speaker 1: the ground. But really for the most part, they it
- 6:12Speaker 1: was just whoever was in there was in the right spot.
- 6:15Speaker 1: You didn't have you know, when you're playing twos and threes,
- 6:18Speaker 1: you can see bus.
- 6:19Speaker 2: It was very very Everyone was sort of on their
- 6:22Speaker 2: p's and q's.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they the defense was sharp. There were
- 6:27Speaker 3: a couple of moments of where you know, they ripped
- 6:29Speaker 3: off a you know, an eight yard a ten yard,
- 6:32Speaker 3: a twelve yard play or whatever, and it's like, oh, here,
- 6:35Speaker 3: you know, this is this is where it's going to happen.
- 6:37Speaker 3: I know, I picked sixty six to ten in our
- 6:40Speaker 3: staff predictions. I was. I was wrong on that one.
- 6:44Speaker 3: But I kind of figured there would be a point
- 6:46Speaker 3: where somebody who you know, might not be quote unquote
- 6:49Speaker 3: game ready, but who was be thrust into the game
- 6:52Speaker 3: might give up a big play. But you know, that
- 6:54Speaker 3: just wasn't there. And I mean there were you know,
- 6:56Speaker 3: there were a lot of great plays. I mean I
- 6:58Speaker 3: think that my favorite defense play though, was the interception
- 7:01Speaker 3: by Caleb Downs.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Yeah, Caleb Downs had had a very Caleb Downs play
- 7:05Speaker 1: where I'm sure that quarterback is going to go back
- 7:08Speaker 1: and watch that in film.
- 7:09Speaker 2: I go, no, there's no way he actually got to
- 7:11Speaker 2: that ball. I don't believe it.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Sorry, Riley Petty John very very impressed with him as well.
- 7:17Speaker 1: He was, you know, true freshman linebacker. I think he
- 7:20Speaker 1: finished with two tackles, but he had a force fumble.
- 7:23Speaker 2: He was around the ball quite a bit. Tj.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Alford was very active among those the young linebackers. Twenty
- 7:29Speaker 1: three different players had tackles. Peyton Pierce was the leading
- 7:32Speaker 1: tackle of was six. No one else had more than four.
- 7:34Speaker 1: It was just kind of it was a very oprah
- 7:37Speaker 1: You get a tackle, and you get a tackle, and
- 7:38Speaker 1: you get a tackle, and you get a touchdown and
- 7:40Speaker 1: you get a touch It was.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Just kind of got it. You know. The joy got
- 7:44Speaker 2: spread around pretty far and pretty.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Wide, and Ohio State did a really nice job where
- 7:50Speaker 1: you know, on offense, the ones got two quarters, the
- 7:53Speaker 1: two's got the third quarter, the threes got the fourth quarter.
- 7:57Speaker 1: And on defense they were rolling guys. I mean I
- 8:00Speaker 1: felt like you saw twelve defensive lineman before halftime.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Yeah, they really did, you know, move guys in and out.
- 8:06Speaker 3: I mean, you know all the way. You know, Dark
- 8:08Speaker 3: West Carter got involved, you know, Dom Kirks. I'm sitting
- 8:10Speaker 3: here looking at the list, Josh Mickens, You know, they
- 8:13Speaker 3: really had an opportunity if you did not get into
- 8:16Speaker 3: this game and you were healthy. I mean, because you know,
- 8:19Speaker 3: there were a couple of guys on the injured list.
- 8:20Speaker 3: We didn't get to see Turbo Rogers, you know again
- 8:23Speaker 3: on offense. But you know, as as the Peanut Gallery
- 8:27Speaker 3: said that he was heard, he was he was on
- 8:28Speaker 3: the injured he was on the injured list, so we
- 8:30Speaker 3: didn't get to see him. But you know, it was
- 8:33Speaker 3: it was a really good game for you know, to
- 8:38Speaker 3: have a roster next to you because I mean, at
- 8:40Speaker 3: a couple of points, I'm like, all right, who exactly
- 8:43Speaker 3: is this guy? Who exactly is that guy? And I'd
- 8:46Speaker 3: do this for a living, and I had I had
- 8:48Speaker 3: to check that out well.
- 8:49Speaker 1: And there were a couple of times when you had
- 8:50Speaker 1: guys on kick coverage who you know, when you have
- 8:53Speaker 1: guys on kick coverage where not normally on kick coverage together,
- 8:55Speaker 1: normally they can sort of sort those numbers out. Then
- 8:58Speaker 1: you had the guys throwing on the you know, who's
- 9:01Speaker 1: thirty six, Well, there's not a thirty six or whatever
- 9:03Speaker 1: the number.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Was you had.
- 9:06Speaker 1: It was really you do need the get a program
- 9:09Speaker 1: to know all the players kind of game. Now, next
- 9:13Speaker 1: up is another non power team.
- 9:17Speaker 2: It is not going to be the same thing. Next
- 9:18Speaker 2: week to Ohio State.
- 9:20Speaker 1: You know, seventy to nothing over Grambling. It could have
- 9:22Speaker 1: been much worse if they had wanted.
- 9:24Speaker 2: It to be.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Next week, the Ohio Bobcats come to town and Ohio.
- 9:29Speaker 2: If you missed the score.
- 9:30Speaker 1: On Saturday, the Bobcats beat West Virginia seventeen to ten.
- 9:34Speaker 1: So and last week was they gave Rutgers a real scare.
- 9:37Speaker 2: They fell behind and came way back. I warned everyone
- 9:41Speaker 2: on the postgame show.
- 9:42Speaker 1: I'm going to warn you now, Parker Navarro, Ohio quarterback,
- 9:46Speaker 1: you are going to get mad next week because he
- 9:48Speaker 1: is going to pick up a third and seven with
- 9:50Speaker 1: his legs and he is going to throw He's going
- 9:53Speaker 1: to pick convert a third and nine with his arm.
- 9:56Speaker 1: You are going to get mad. Just brace yourself for that.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Not all nonpower teams are created equal. This is one
- 10:03Speaker 1: where next week is not going to look like this week.
- 10:07Speaker 3: Right, and and that's the thing. Don't be you know,
- 10:10Speaker 3: for those of you who like to wager a little bit,
- 10:12Speaker 3: don't bet on the shutout or anything like that I
- 10:14Speaker 3: think Ohio University is going to have some success. I
- 10:18Speaker 3: think Ohio State's going to have a lot of success
- 10:20Speaker 3: too in that game. And that's not taking anything away
- 10:22Speaker 3: from OU and their defense. But to the Rutgers game,
- 10:26Speaker 3: what was I like, thirty four thirty one or something
- 10:28Speaker 3: like that. I mean, you know, I think that that's
- 10:31Speaker 3: going to be a game that for all of the
- 10:33Speaker 3: all the hugs and kisses in Kumbaya right now, there's
- 10:36Speaker 3: probably going to be a couple of angry message board
- 10:38Speaker 3: posts after OHU. Even if Ohio State win. Ohio State
- 10:43Speaker 3: wins that by three four scores.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Yeah, Ohio State may very well win that game thirty
- 10:49Speaker 1: thirty whatever to seventeen or something like that. I'm just
- 10:53Speaker 1: letting you know right now. This is a public service announcement.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Be ready for it. This is not going to be
- 10:59Speaker 1: like the Grand Game. Just this is I'm trying to
- 11:03Speaker 1: help you out here. This is in the interest of
- 11:05Speaker 1: everyone's mental health. Just be prepared. You're going to get
- 11:08Speaker 1: frustrated next week, and that's okay. Ohio State, though, no frustration.
- 11:12Speaker 1: On Saturday inside the Horseshoe is seventy to zero Buckeyes
- 11:16Speaker 1: over Grambling State, We're gonna have much more coverage of
- 11:19Speaker 1: this game, and really the centerpiece of this game, the

- 11:56Speaker 3: it and watching it on a little screen, and people
- 12:00Speaker 3: are gonna be like, so what do you think about
- 12:01Speaker 3: the man? I'm like, I'm gonna have to go back
- 12:03Speaker 3: and watch my video because I didn't really get to
- 12:05Speaker 3: watch it. I mean, you're trying to shoot it wide,
- 12:08Speaker 3: but you also, I mean there's just, you know, so
- 12:10Speaker 3: much personality and everything else, so you sometimes get caught
- 12:14Speaker 3: between the tight shot and the wide shot and everything else,
- 12:16Speaker 3: but you know, as advertised, yes, as advertised maybe better.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Yeah, So just like a coach, you got to go
- 12:23Speaker 1: back and watch the film before you can comment on it.
