• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes Tomorrow morning for Monday, September twenty second.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Tom or the Washington game in five days,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the game against Michigan in sixty eight days. If you're
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: planning your next event, make it unforgettable with Grateful Griddle,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Columbus's favorite food truck surving up, Smashberger scoremet sandwiches, and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: good vibes Booker catering today at gratefulgriddleoh dot com. All right,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about that Washington game. It's really
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: looking like a very, very big game this weekend out
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. Kenny Gerderman and I will be hopping on
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: an airplane to head out there a little later on
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in the week, and I wanted to give Tony a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: chance to talk a little bit about that game, but
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I wanted to kind of blindside him with something so
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: he doesn't really know what this shows about. We're going
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to try and give him a chance to do a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: little bit of Washington Huskies fact or fiction, because there's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of interesting stuff that is kind of facts
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: about this year's Washington team, facts about Washington's football team
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: on the whole, a lot of stuff that sounds like
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that can't possibly be true, and a lot of it
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: actually is. So we're going to let Tony sort out
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the fact from fiction. Tony, are you ready? And let
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: me just preface this by letting you know it doesn't matter.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: We're doing the show either way, but I'm going to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: pretend to be interested. Are you ready?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I'm ready. I feel it's very class list to just
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: throw a show on somebody without letting them know anything
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: about what it's about. I've figured you were better than this,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: but I figured wrong.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: We've been working together long enough that you know that
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: absolutely is not true. All right, Tony, Here's fact number one?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Fact or fiction number one. The Washington Huskies currently have
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the longest active home winning streak in the country, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I will let you know this is a fact. They've
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: won twenty two consecutive home games at Husky Stadium. Is
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that the longest in the nation.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it is. I know I'm going
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to say it is because SEC teams play really good
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: SEC teams, so certainly they can't have all of these
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: home winning streaks. I'm going to say it is, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I think with the last loss was Washington State in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty one.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I believe that is correct. However, one of those SEC
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: teams has won more games than that, the Georgia Bulldogs
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: over thirty right now, I believe it's thirty four in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: their active home win streak, but second in the nation,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: second in the nation, twenty two games in a row
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in Husky Stadium. Last year, the Huskies were undefeated at
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: home and winless away from home. So definitely one of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: those teams you want to catch on the road. The
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Buckeyes are catching them out in out in Seattle when
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the Dogs are at home, So that's one storyline to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: kind of keep an eye on. So there you go.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Oho to one for Tony. How about this one, Tony.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Last twenty three drives for the Washington Huskies, they have
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: had a total of one punt and turnover total between
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the two things, one punt and turnover could be one turnover,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: could be one punt, one punt and or turnover in
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: their last twenty three drive.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That is fixed, Tom because their last twenty three drives
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: have involved two kneel downs, nineteen touchdowns, and two field goals.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: So they have scored on the last twenty one drives
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that they wanted to and kneeled down on two others.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: They have not punted since I believe early in the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: second quarter back in August and the season opener.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Basically, yes, the last time they did not score on
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a drive that they were at least remotely trying to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: score on that it was not just a kneel down
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: was a demand Williams fumble in the second quarter against
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Colorado State. But yes, they have scored on nineteen touchdowns,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: two field goals, two kneel downs in their last twenty
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: three drives. All right, so there you go. You have
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: redeemed yourself a little bit. Now here's one that I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: put these out of order in my notes, Tony. So
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to go back to now the twenty two
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: game home win streak for Washington through or falls fact
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: or fiction. That is longer than any home win streak
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that Ohio State has had during the twenty first century.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, during the twenty first century. So we know it
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be. There weren't enough games in two and three,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and certainly they didn't last long in four, five, six, seven,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: then they had eight. There was a loss there. I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: going to say that is not longer than than the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Ohio State's longest in the twenty first century.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So you're gonna say Ohio State has a longer home
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: win streak than twenty two. Well, Tony, you are correct,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but just barely. The Buckeyes won twenty three straight home
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: games between a twenty seventeen lost to Oklahoma and a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one loss to Oregon. So twenty three straight
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: home games unless I miscounted. I had to do all
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: this by hand. So it's possible that I miscounted and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we're both wrong. But you know, one of the odds
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that were wrong about something. I mean, history indicates no
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: more than I don't know, eighty percent likelihood that we're
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: both wrong about something. All right, Tony. The last time
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the Washington Huskies beat Ohio State was out in Seattle,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and that happened on the same day as an iconic
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: college football play. Factor fiction. That iconic college football play
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: was the fifth down between Colorado and Missouri.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I know this was in the nineties, and if it was,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: if it was ninety four, then I would say it
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: was the Cordell Stewart throw. But I I was in
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: my dorm for that. The fifth down was a year later.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Was that ninety five or ninety six. I'm and I'm
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: going to say that it was the the Cordell Stewart
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: ninety four, but I feel like they played in ninety one,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: not ninety time time? Am I right? Am I correct?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: In the ninety four thing?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Disappointingly, you are correct. It was the Cordell Stewart throw
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: up in the Big House, the Keith Jackson, the legendary
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: call Cordell Stewart to Michael Westbrook. Yes, that was the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: same day, September tenth, nineteen ninety four, the fifth Down game.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: That was in nineteen ninety so that was well done,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: very impressive. How about this one, Tony. The Washington Huskies
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: have never beaten an AP number one football team. They
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have played them fifteen times, and I will tell you
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: they have won tie in those fifteen games. Have they
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: ever beaten an AP number one team? Because, of course,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the Buckeye's entering this weekend's game at number one.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Tom, I'm just going back through my ROLLODECKX and what
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I remember they have beaten a number one team. I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: believe thinking back, it was Minnesota and maybe like nineteen
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: sixty or sixty one, Is that correct? Tom?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It was yes, this was I believe a stat that
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they may have shown on the broadcast, So I'm giving it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like I got to give you a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: free beat. Here's your bonus, Tony, who was the nineteen
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: sixty one Rose Bowl. The nineteen sixty one Rose Bowl
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: is also known for a legendary prank that happened during
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the game. Do you know what the legendary prank was
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that happened during Washington's win over the only AP number
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: one team it has ever beaten, Minnesota in the nineteen
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: sixty one rows.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I don't, but does this involve cal Tech doing something
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: with math and turning some lights out or something, you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: anything like that.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It does involve cal Tech. This was the cal Tech
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: card prank where they told Washington fans their thing was
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: going to say go Huskies, and then they held up
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: cards and it said cal Tech. So yes, I'm going
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to have to I'm regrettably grudgingly going to have to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: award you at least partial credit for nailing the cal
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Tech portion of it. So yes, there, you're well done.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: All right? Two more demand Williams, Washington's quarterback, had fewer
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: incompletions than he did twenty yard runs against Washington State
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: last weekend, So fewer incomplete passes than twenty yard runs.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I won't bring up the box score because I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: have it on one of my forty seven open tabs here.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I really give you extra credit for not cheating. Well,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: thank you, all right, thank you. So that's a happy
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: individual you are.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I seem to recall a few interceptions, but I also
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: recall a few couple of twenty yard runs in there.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say, no, he had more incompletions than
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: he did twenty yard rounds because I only remember maybe
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: three max on the twenty yard rounds and he had
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to have more than that incompletions.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Well, this is I'm going to give you partial credit
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: on this one because he did not have more incompletions
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: than twenty yard runs. He did, however, have the same
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: number of incompletions as twenty yard runs, three of each.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: So there you go, entrapment. Yeah, the look of annoyance
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in your face is all the thanks I need. All right,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: last one, Tony. And I know that there are people,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there are people who have watched a minute
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and a half of this video and put well they
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: haven't ain't played nobody, Paul, So here we go true
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: or false Washington's opponents this year. They have played three
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: teams this season. Washington opponents have not beaten an FBS
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: team yet this season. We know they're a one to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: three against Washington, but Washington's three opponents combined have yet
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to beat an FBS team.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: For false, I'm gonna say false in hope that Colorado
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: State did recently well.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Colorado State did not. Colorado State has one win and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that it was against FCS Northern Colorado by whopping twenty
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: one to seventeen score. However, the Washington State Cougars did
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: beat San Diego State. They beat Idaho thirteen to ten,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and they beat San Diego State thirty six thirteen or
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: of that win over San Diego State the only win
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: by a Washington opponent against an FBS team yet this year.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: UC Davis did win two other games, but it was
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: against Utah Tech and Southern Utah, so non Utah Utes
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: state champions. There the UC Davis Aggies.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: And you know that fifty nine to ten lost from
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Washington State to North Texas looks a little bit better
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: now after this past weekend with North Texas I think
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: looked pretty decent and Washington State looked pretty decent for
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: three quarters, which we'll talk about some other time, not today.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: But I can't wait to watch this game because I
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: think there's a ton of interesting matchups and just eighty
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: percent of it is what are you going to do
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: about Debond Williams.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is going to be a really, really fun
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: game because I feel like we're going to learn a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: lot about both of these teams. We'll have a State
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: having to go cross country and play in what is
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: going to be a very loud environment, and Washington having
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to play by far and away the best team they've
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: played this season and see how they hold up against there,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: because they have put up some impressive stats. They've put
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: up some very very shiny numbers and point totals. Haven't
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: really played anyone of any real consequence yet. Obviously you
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: can throw the records out for the rivalry game against Wazoo,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: we know that, but other than that has not been
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a They have not really played a talent equated kind
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: of game yet. They certainly will this weekend when the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Buckeyees come to town. Tony and I will be out there
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in Seattle covering that, we'll have a bunch of coverage
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of some other stuff out there as well. Should be
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a really fun trip place we have not gone at
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: least together to go cover a game before so and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: certainly supposed to be one of the most iconic venues
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: in college football, so looking forward to that as well.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: We'll have our usually usual mishmash of behind the scenes
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: videos and letting you see some different things you probably
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: wouldn't get a chance to see, and the spot where
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of Ohio State fans have never gone before,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: we'll try and give you give you a look at
• 11:54
