• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to buck Eyes tomorrow morning for Monday, September second.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, tom Or the Western Michigan game in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: five days, the game against Michigan in eighty nine days,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: game number one in the books for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: They are one to zero. You watched some of the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: other teams around the country play during Week one, you
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: might have felt a little squirrely about the first half
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of the buck Eyes. And then when you watch Michigan
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: up sixteen to ten on Fresno State in the fourth
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: quarter in Oregon struggling to put away Idaho, it might
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: be a little more. It might be time to sort
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of put things in perspective. It was week one. It's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: week one for everyone. Don't read too much into it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: We're going to read a little bit into it. Today
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be hearing from the Ohio State Buckeyes on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different topics from week one. You're also
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: going to be hearing from Akron head coach Joe Morehead,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: who had some interesting stuff to say. You're also going
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to be hearing from Syracuse coach Fran Brown. Why well,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we'll get there at the end. Another interesting SoundBite that
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: came up after the Oranges game against the Ohio Bobcats.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: We'll get there in a little bit, but let's start
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: with Ohio State head coach Ryan Day. He was asked
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a question that started about as a question about Will
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Howard's day and what was good and what was bad,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: but but it turned into one to answer about a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: bunch of different guys playing in the stadium for the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: first time. So here's Ryan Day starting his answer, I'm
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Will Howard and then sort of going.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: From there, I mean, I'm going to watch the film
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and kind of make that determination. I thought he had
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: pretty good poise the whole day. He took care of
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the football. It was in the one crazy decision there
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: at the end of the half there to try to
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: force him that actually he's got to take a deep
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: breath on that. But you know, for your first start
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: in the shoe. Now he is a more experienced guy,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: but he's in a new offense. He knew environment. I'll
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: say this overall, I felt like early on, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the three inside guys, you know that they hadn't played
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: in this you know, Seth and Austin first start, tegra Jeremiah, Will,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you know, Quinn Shawn's first time playing here, and I
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: think just across the board there was just, you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: they were a little up tight early on. I think,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you know, they were kind of worked up, and you
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: just saw a couple of things off and we got
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: ourselves off schedule. I thought, chipped at a nice job,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: but continually pushing the run. You could see that start
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to take its effect in the second half, and then
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I thought we we sort of settled in and started
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to have more fun and then kind of, you know,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: we started to play with a little a little looser.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Which is the way we need to play.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And I thought we were a little bit uptight early on,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and you know, we can't play like that. We've got
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to come out of the gates, you know, playing loose.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: But but I get it, and so we're gonna get
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: on the film and grow from there. But for a
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: lot of these guys that to start and their first start,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: so and then also good to see some some younger
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: guys towards the end get in there and play.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And those guys are in there like to play.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And it's not just to eat up reps, and it's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: not just to build depth for the future. It's also
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: because there are metrics in play here for the playoffs
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: that we have to make sure that we're you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: part of in terms of offense and defense. And so
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: those guys have been told that, and I thought they
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: did go in there and compete towards.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: The end, Probably the single biggest story of Game one
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: for the buck Eyes was brew freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Six catches, ninety two yards, a pair of touchdowns. Very
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: impressive debut, sort of the debut that everyone was sort
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of hoping to see. Wasn't sure. Well it happened. Now
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you've seen it in person. The legend is apparently true,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: so he was. Also he played through a couple early
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: mistakes as well. He had first first path thrown to him,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: hit him, hit him in the hands, dropped it, didn't
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: catch it, the penalty. Buckeys ended up punning on that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: first drive. Plaid through it though, ended up with a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: very impressive debut.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: You can see the talent, and like you said, we're
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: going to play right through just about all of it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: You know, I think he's another guy.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, sometimes you look at him, you
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: don't even think he's quite human, but he is. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: you know, He's going to make a few early mistakes,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: but not very many. You can see the talent there.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And he's going to sleep good tonight though, I can
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: tell you that. And I think they all need to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: get some rest tonight.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: It was a long week. It was a hot week.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: We practiced really hard.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: We practiced mon d Tuesday and Wednesday in pads, physical
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: for a reason.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: And uh, and it was hot out there today. But
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: that's good.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It was hard, and they'll sleep good tonight and we'll
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: get back at it tomorrow.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: The physical talent is one thing with Jeremiah Smith. But
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the ability to play through those two early mistakes, that's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing that might have shaken the confidence
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of a lot of true freshmen who were out there
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: for the first game. How was he able to put
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: those two mistakes behind him so quickly?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: He's built different, he is, just the way his approaches.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You can see his size and speed and all that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: But typically somebody with that type of talent doesn't have
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the discipline the focus that he does, you know, And
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: so uh, you know, nobody even better than I. I mean,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: nobody said a word like it was He's just going
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to play through this and weren't going to be fine.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even consideration because we see what he does
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: every day in practice and we knew he was going
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to settle in the buck eye.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Run game was a little disjointed in the first half.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Felt like they would sort of get something going and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: then someone would miss a block and just wouldn't be
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: able to get things going consistently like they want it too.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So did the patchwork offensive line with Donovan Jackson sitting
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: out and Taker Schabola making his first career start in
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Seth McLaughlin making his first start as a Buckeye. Did
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that play any sort of a part in that sort
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of disjointed run game in the first half.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: When I looked at the numbers at halftime, I thought
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: it was going to be a lot worse than it was.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I think I think Trey was averaging six yards of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: carry and Quinn Chown was just under four. And then
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it looked much better in the second half. I just
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: think there was some things off in there on the interior. Guys,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you know, just weren't quite fitting it upright. We weren't
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that far off, that's schematically. We had some good ideas
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and what we were doing, and there was a couple
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of runs that maybe we could have hit better at
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: running back. But I just think that we were just
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: not great in the fits early on, and I think,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you know, you have to ask those guys. They seemed
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: like they were pressing a little bit early on again,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: but but then I thought they really settled in a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: You know, I thought Chip called the good game. I
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: really do.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I think that you know, he knew, he knows what
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: he wants to get done with this team. He wants
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: to establish this run. And that means, you know, maybe
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: that's not scoring you know, seventy or whatever, you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: but we need to establish the run late in the season.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna do that, and you know the quarterback
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: is going to be a part of it. And so
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to greate it. I got to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: watch the film and see what the.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Good thing is.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I actually get to watch some of the film during
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the game now, so I can't just always say I'm
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: gonna wait till tomorrow to make a decision.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: So I did see some of it, and it wasn't
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: all great. It wasn't all bad either, though.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Last year's Ohio State defense was very effective, among the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: nation's best in just about every category, but not in turnovers.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: They really just didn't create a lot of turnovers last
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: year for whatever reason, and that was a point of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: emphasis for the buck Eyes throughout fall camp Saturday. Then
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I don't really got two turnover turnovers. They got two
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: turnovers for touchdowns. That's a pretty big step forward for
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day's team and Jim Noles defense.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I thought that, you know, the Joe had a pretty
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: good plan of getting the ball out of the quarterback's
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: hand quickly, and that can eliminate the you know, could
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: eliminate the pass rush quickly, entire the front. But I
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: thought our guys did a good job of getting the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: hit their hands on some stuff and make that adjustment.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But then I know, we tightened up some coverage a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: little bit, made him you know, hold on to it
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: a few times, and so then you know, we were
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: able to get home with it. I thought the effort
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: play by Kat and Curry was tremendous to come back around,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: because that wasn't you know, as I remember it, it
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: wasn't like you know, uh, you know, a sack you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: in the first second or two of the play.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I mean it was a scramble step up.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: He was kind of towards the line of scrimmage and
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: then he retraced back with a great effort play and
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: knocked the ball out. And that's something we talk a
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: lot about when you're talking about turnovers. We did a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: quick study about the college and the NFL, and one
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: of the big percentage of turnovers is stripsacks on the quarterback,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: whether he's in the pocket or coming out of the pocket.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: And that was a great one.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: And then the other study that we did is just
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you know, on fumbles and you know how we want
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to you know, handle those.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: You know, if we're in tight areas, we want to
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: get on them.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: If we get them open areas, we're scooping and scoring
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and there's an art to that and we practice that
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: every Tuesday. But then I also thought there was some
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: really good block set up on that play as well.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I thought the tip ball, you know, gave me in
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: a really nice play on the ball. That was just
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: kind of a more athletic play. But ball disruption is
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: something we spend some time on this offseason.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: In ball security.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: You know, if we're going to win, you know, these
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: these games We've got to make sure that we're winning
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the ball. Security and turnover you know, part of the game.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, anytime you get a defensive score, that's huge.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And you know, you could see we were close to
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: in a couple of the returns, you know, I mean,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: we're working at it, and we were just a.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: One or two away.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know what what Brandon's return yardage was, but
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: you can see there's some potential back there. We got
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: a bunch of guys buying into that, and we were
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: getting there. I mean, it was better today than I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: remember it in the past. And so we'll keep working
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: on that because if we can get some special team
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: scores defensive scores, that can be a huge part of
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: our season.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Now onto Jeremiah Smith, and I'll have to hear from
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: him a little bit. Chris Carter after that drop, Chris Carter,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: for of course, former legendary Ohio state wide receiver NFL
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, retweeted, basically, don't worry man, I dropped
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: my first pass at state too. So what was Jeremiah
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Smith's reaction to that first drive with the drop and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the penalty.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: My reaction to dropping the ball was I don't know.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: I can't really explain that one. But when I came
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: to the SOUD, I was just mad at myself. But
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I mean it's football. I mean, you play receiver, you
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: go drop the ball. So he can't drop it that much.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: So I'm not just moving on. Just made it played
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: in that job.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: So Jeremiah Smith has obviously been getting a lot of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: hype basically since the day he stepped on campus, to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the point that Ohio State players and coaches were more
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: or less openly saying they didn't want to talk him
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: up too much because they didn't want to make it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: too crazy around him. They didn't want the hype to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: get too out of hand. Was he kind of feeling
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the pressure early today to do something spectacular pressure?
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: No, I don't really feel pressure.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: IMA just want to go out there and play football
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: and win and play play football and win games.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, I know all the hype around me.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Was crazy coming in, and I just wanted to come
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: in and be a god, just work and just not
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: be about all hype. I mean, just want to impress
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: my coaches and press my peers around me and my teammate.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: So now onto Ohio State, starting quarterback Will Howard. He
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: had a solid, not necessarily spectacular, but solid, effective, efficient day,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the kind of boring day that Ohio State coaches are
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: probably going to be perfectly happy with this year out
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of Will Howard. But the first half, well, the first
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: half was a little raggedy at times. So what was
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the conversation in a locker room like at the half
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: as they were trying to figure out how to get
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: things on track.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: One of our goals in this game was to play clean.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: I feel like we didn't really do that in first half,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: you know, but at the end of the day, we
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: just kind of had to get together and say, settle down,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: you know, just just play our game, you know, don't
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: think about it too much, don't you know, let the
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: fact that you know it's our maybe our first time
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: playing the shoe, like I just got to settle in,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: you know, and play football. And I think we did
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: a good job of that in the second half. But
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: you know, we definitely need to work on, you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: starting a little faster, starting a little better, and not
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: having those those mistakes that we had in the first half.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: You know, me personally, you know, included in that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: And I mean.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: We we built off it, and you know, we we
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: came out in the second half and guns of blazing
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: and did really well. And obviously a win is a win,
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: and when you win by as much as we did,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: like you know, it's it's good. And you know, I'm
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: happy that we won. But there's still a lot of
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: stuff to clean up.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Will Howard will go down in history as the answer
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to the trivia question who threw Jeremiah Smith's first touchdown pass?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And it was a nice play by Smith. He made
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a nice adjustment up in the air to go get it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And so here was Will Howard's view of that pass.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: If he's pressed and it's one on one, put it
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: up and he'll make he'll make the play. And that's
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: exactly what he did. I just saw he was pressed,
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: you know, so I tried to put it up over top,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: and he actually made a little adjustment and came back
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: to it. And I mean, that's all I got to do,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: is just you know, give him a chance and he's
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: going to do the rest.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: And you guys saw that today.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And finally, Will Howard, he's not new to being a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: starting college quarterback. He's done that a bunch at Kansas State,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: but he is new to being the starting quarterback at
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. So what was that like that first day
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: in the horseshoe. Is you happy to sort of have
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that in the rearview mirror and now have a little
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: bit more to go on when he's to prepare him
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: for these games.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: It's cool, man, It's it's a pretty pretty freaking cool
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: stadium and the fans and the band and just the
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: truth like, I've never been a part of so many
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: different traditions and I had to learn like all these
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: new traditions that we had, and it's like, it's cool, man,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: it's fun. It's like it makes it more engaging, you know,
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: for everyone involved in Like the skull session and just
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: getting to experience all this stuff that I've heard about
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: for the first time was really fun. And now that
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: I got it all under my belt, it's like, all right,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: you know, now I've done it, and now it's you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: it's business as usual from now on. But it's still
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: cool and it's still fun to appreciate it, you know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: when you know, I only have twelve opportunities as a
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: buck guye you know, guaranteed, and you know, obviously hopefully
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: we get sixteen or seventeen. But you know, I only
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: have so many opportunities as a Buckuye, So I gotta
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: got to soak it all in and enjoy it while
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: while I'm hearing man and it's quite an environment, quite
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: an atmosphere, and I'm just glad to be a part
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: of it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Now, we're going to give you a couple of quick
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: clips from Akron head coach Joe Moorehead. He was asked
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: his thoughts on the buck Eyes and it turned into
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: his thoughts on the Buckeyes as a national championship contender.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: I learned that Ohio State is an incredibly talented team
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: that is very well coached, and we'll have an opportunity
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: in my opinion, having coach against the twenty nineteen LSU team.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: And it took my son to see Michigan last spring
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: for a recruiting visit, so I know what a team
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: that can play for the national championship looks like. In
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: a you know, this looks like a team that can
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: play for national championship.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I got a chance to ask Joe Moorehead about what
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: he knew about Jeremiah Smith before the game and what
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: he knows now about Jeremiah Smith and the Ohio State
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Wide Receiver room we follow.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: He shot it on Twitter, which is cool, so I
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: think it might have been I don't know where I
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: would have been, certainly when I wasn't here, but he's
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: out as advertised, and we recruited a method when I
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: was at Oregon and then to take kids. So it's
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: just an embarrassment of riches. You know, everywhere you look
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: there's a guy that can catch it and break a
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: tackle and score, or a guy that can run by it,
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: and a guy who can throw on the ball in
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: a line that can protect. So to see that, I
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: keep playing person after all, the kind of a popping
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: circumstances leaping up through it. He lived up to the billion.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Finally, I mentioned this off the top of the show,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and this is one of the things that turned into
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: a whole thing on Twitter, because while the Buckeyes were
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: sort of struggling a little bit on offense in the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: first half, Ale McCord was the quarterback of Syracuse. He
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: had a pretty nice day. They started off a little slow,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: but he finished with twenty seven for thirty nine three
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: d and fifty four yards, four touchdowns, one pick in
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a win over the Ohio Bobcats. They did start slow,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: go behind six nothing. Bran Brown seemed pretty happy with
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: tol mccorth's Dan and the Hole had a pretty good
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: line at the end of this about Ryan Day. So
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that's why I included this one in this show.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: Well, I think that we needed that. We've never dealt
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: with adversity. You know, we got to be down six nothing.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: There was a lot of things that we were able
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: to deal with throughout the game that helped us and
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: showed that, you know, we'll continue to play, We'll continue
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: to count on each other and do things of that nature.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: So I mean, they're not getting down how many Coyle's
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: a go go football player.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: You've seen it right there.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: I just said, Sam, Ryan Day a bottle of champagne
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: for allowing us to get in.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool, all right that maybe the last time
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you hear from Friend Brown on this show this season.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: It will definitely not be the last time you hear
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: from Ryan Day or Will Howard or Jeremiah Smith. We're
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to be back with plenty more shows this week. We
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: have plenty of interviews, insight and analysis, all that kind
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of good stuff, and a great place to find all
