• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning for Sunday, September fourteenth, I'm
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: your host, tom Or the Washington game is in thirteen days,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the game against Michigan in seventy six days. If you're
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: planning your next event, make it unforgettable with Grateful Brittle,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Columbus's favorite food truck serving up Smashburger, score May sandwiches
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and good vibes.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Book cre Catering.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Today at Gratefulgriddle, oh dot com. The vibes inside Ohio
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Stadium were eventually good on Saturday night. It took a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: little while to get there. Buckey's had a little bit
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of a slog.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: In the first half.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It was only thirteen to three at halftime, and then
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it was thirteen to nine not long after halftime, and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: then they pulled away twenty four unanswered to end the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: game thirty nine thirty seven to nine at final John
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: bick Kevinnoonopucke Huddle dot Com and Kevin I think this
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: is one of these games where the end of the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: game didn't reflect the final score, didn't reflect what the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: score was for a decent chunk of the game.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: But also you looked at the first half and the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: score was three.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: To nothing or six nothing or whatever it was, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Ohio State had a two hundred and thirty or two
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and sixty to the advantage in total yardage.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: The defense completely.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Dominated the game, and the offense just kind of bogged
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: down in the red zone just long enough and just
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: frequently enough to make it kind of annoying.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I think for.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: People, I've said it once and I'll say it again,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: nothing good happens after three point thirty PM.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: More conservative than jin Fressel. You heard it here.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: First, it was a weird game. It was a weird
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: game Ohio State from you know, but from the five
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: to the five was great moving the ball, but couldn't
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: do anything inside the five. We're gonna, We're gonna run
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: this ball. We're gonna We'll show you. And you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: at least at first, you couldn't run the ball. Bring
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: in Bo Jackson, Ohio State's able to run the ball
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: a little bit better. I'm not you know, I'm not
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: calling for a change in the depth chart. I will
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: leave that for all of our viewers because I've heard
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: that at length. But yeah, it's it was a weird game.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And of course I've had a lot of people's like, wow,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Ohio State's gonna get dropped from being number one, doesn't
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: really matter. In September, Penn State, who wasn't able to
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: hold onto the hold on to the shutout against against Villanova.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Villanova, and that that was a game that was
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: seven to nothing in the first quarter and twenty one
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: nothing at halftime, and you know, the Penn State did
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: not look like any great shakes.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think Ohio States in any real danger of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: losing their number one spot in the polls. You look
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: at you look at the overall stats, and you have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to feel pretty good about the Ohio State offense.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: On the whole. You know, the red zones thing is
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a whole.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Separate conversation, But nine point one yards per play, If
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you put up nine point one yards per play, you're
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: gonna win most.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Of your football games.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You're also gonna score more than thirty seven points more
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: often than not. As you said, they did kind of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: bog down, But another really solid day for Julian saying
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty two, seventy eight percent completions, three
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hundre in forty seven yards, three touchdowns.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: He had two picks. Both picks were kind of weird.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: One deflected multiple times and one was really more of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a fumble than and then an interception, but it was
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a fumble that got caught.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: In the air.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And when the quarterback fumbles it in the air, sometimes
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: they're going to call it it's science. Yeah, for a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: two interception game. I look at this and I kind
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of go, yeah, you think he played reasonably well.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I don't get too caught up in QBR and rating
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: and everything else, but his rating was one eighty seven
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: point seven. By looking at Tom's computer in front of me,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: and you know, it'd be really easy to sit there
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and say, Wow, he just didn't have that good of
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: a game. And no, I mean it. Sometimes the ball
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: bounces in the wrong direction and that's kind of what
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: happened there. I mean, sure they're going to be They're
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: a couple throws that he probably would like to have back,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: and it happens. Not every game is going to be
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: eighteen of nineteen against Grambling State and and everything else,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: and there's going to be more teaching moments and they're
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: going to have with the Washington game, you know, thirteen
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: days away. You heard it here first you're gonna have
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of time to work on yourselves and do
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: some of these things. So I'm sure that Ryan Day,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: you know, certainly would have liked to probably put up twelve, fifteen, eighteen,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: twenty one more points. But with that being said, there's
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot of good tape that is
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: already being cut up right now at the Woody, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: promise you, as we're recording the show, and everybody will
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: get a lesson. And you know, if it's a if
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: it's kind of an empty room for Champions Dinner, so
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: be it. Yeah, yeah, well they still get fed.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Well, one guy who will be there for Champions Dinner
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: is Jeremiah Smith. Nine catches, one hundred and fifty three
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. For him, that was a pretty
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: That was a pretty impressive.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Game for him.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You know, you look at that and it's like, yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it's a Jeremiah Smith game. Colonel Tate had one hundred
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: yards receiving as well. I mean he it was a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: very solid day for I think both.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Of those guys.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean and shocking the you know, two of
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: the best receivers, the best receiver in college football, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I know Brian Williams did some things for Alabama today,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: and then you know, Carnell Tait should be a one
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: pretty much anywhere that you know in the nation. I mean,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: they're just gonna make plays. And even with that, there
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: were probably a couple of things that they would like
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: to have back. So again, nothing good happens after three thirty,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: So you can take your night games and you can
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: file them away.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Bo Jackson, you mentioned Bo Jackson earlier, over one hundred
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: yards again for the second week in a row, on
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: less than ten carries, had a sixty four yarder, which
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: kind of skews the numbers a little bit, but still
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: still counts. They had nine carries, nine carries and seven
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: carries for the three running backs. You get the sense that,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I know, everyone runs Bo Jackson to get
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: thirty carries because then he'll have three hundred yards.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: It's like that does not exactly.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: How it works. It's science.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But with three running backs, you saw what a two
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: running back rotation does for them last year. It feels
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: like you probably kind of have a little bit of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you're seeing roles developing.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: CJ.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Donaldson is gonna be maybe your short yardage back, maybe
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: your goal line back. Bo Jackson is going to be
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and James People's maybe a little more kind of the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: middle of the field and running, but also can swing
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the ball out to him in the passing game. There
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is some real talent in that running back room. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you want a pair and a spare. It feels like
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they've got a pair and another thing to go with
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: their pair where it's not just a spare.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: We didn't really get to see Isaiah West tonight. Trebo
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Rodgers is still not dressed. I mean he's still you know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: dealing with some dealing with some things. But you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: the room is super talented, and you know, I'll leave
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: it for all of our fan experts to kind of
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: go through what this guy does right and what that
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: guy does right and everything else. But you know, there's
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of good feelings about Bo Jackson. We almost
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: you know it outside of stepping out at the four
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: yard line. We saw CJ. Donaldson, like, you know, bowling
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: ball his way in on a reception that would have
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: given Ohio State a touchdown. You know, I like what
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I've seen out of the running back room, and you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I really like what Bo Jackson's done. But let's remember
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the in pretty much an entirety, it's been against Grambling
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: State in Ohio University. So you know, if he if
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: he gets a chance in Seattle against Washington and goes
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: for you know, I guess you know, if you follow trends,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: there'd be one hundred and ten yards if here, then
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: you know, we're I think we have a real competition
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: at that point. But at this point you just kind
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: of you know, you roll with the punches, yep.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And then on the defensive side of the ball, they
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: basically held Ohio to two yards of carry and it
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: was not well they had four yards of carry, but
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they had a bunch of sacks. No the running back,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: starting running back for Ohio had twelve carries for twenty
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: four yards two yards of carry. The other running back
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: had two point one yards per carry. It was it
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: was just a dominant performance. Cayden Hurry was a big
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: part of that.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: But it was just.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It looked exactly on the Ohio State defense. It looked
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: exactly like you would expect it to look against a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you know, a good MAC team, but a Mac team.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: It was it was very no nonsense. Just there was
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: one bad play and other than that it was dominant
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: all night.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Right, They really took care of business. I mean, we
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: saw a lot of players get to roll in. We
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: saw some sacks, you know, we saw bo Atkinson get
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: out there and do some things. We really got to
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: see some of the first action of Logan George. I mean,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: you know, I didn't really hear his name called that much,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: but I saw him out there. I mean, you know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Kenyanna Jackson looked really good. I mean, I think it
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: was a solid performance. And you know, I would be
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: you know, doing everybody disservice if I didn't talk about
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Jayleen McLain nearly killing somebody out there that that that
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: young man has a family, you know, so let's let's
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: let's let's not let's not celebrate it too much. But
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: holy hell, it was pretty impressive.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a big, big, big hit, and you
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: also at davids Enigmnos and he had a defensive holding call,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: but otherwise had a really solid night.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Jermaine Matthews. I don't know that you really heard Jermaine
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: matthews name that much.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Which if you're a corner and no one says your name,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that's that is a good side.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: The Shawn Springs streatment.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: You saw, you saw Devin Sanchez out there a bunch.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And in like meaningful snaps and playing lots of playing
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a lot, and didn't really see or hear much of him.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a very very good Ohio State
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: defense on the whole, I think, I don't I think
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you look at all three levels of this and I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: don't know that there's an area where you go, oh boy,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Well. And also remember that we saw more Devin Sanchez
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: because Lorenzo Styles Junior left the game with an injury.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I did see him sitting on the bench in the
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter, so it's not like he, you know, was
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: transported to Osue medical or anything like that. But yeah,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I think that there's certainly, you know, the absence of
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: mentions of certain players should speak very loudly about what
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: they were able to do. Yeah.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So Buckey's thirty seven Ohio nine Buck guys wrap up
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: non conference schedule three and oh now they've got a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: week off and then they travel across country to Seattle
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to face the Washington Huskies. That will almost certainly, I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: don't think it's official official, officially official yet that'll be
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: officially official, I think on Monday, but the Buckeyes will
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: almost certainly be the three thirty game on Sunday, September
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: twenty seventh. Will be out there to cover that one,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, there will be a whole lot
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to talk about over the next couple weeks at bucke
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: huddle dot com.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: That's where we've got our whole team of experts covering the.
• 10:37
