- 0:20Speaker 1: brief housekeeping note before we get started. We are officially
- 0:23Speaker 1: heading into the college football off season, so that means
- 0:26Speaker 1: you are going to get your buck eyes tomorrow morning
- 0:29Speaker 1: shows during any typical week, We're going to take weekends
- 0:31Speaker 1: off unless there is news. There's almost always news this
- 0:34Speaker 1: time of year, so probably you're gonna get as basically
- 0:39Speaker 1: as many shows as you normally do. But I just
- 0:41Speaker 1: want to give you a heads up. If you don't
- 0:42Speaker 1: see a show, nothing bad has happened. I'm not trapped
- 0:45Speaker 1: on or anything heavy. It's just we do this every
- 0:47Speaker 1: year this time of year, and sometimes people forget, so
- 0:49Speaker 1: we don't worry. We will have plenty of shows. Transfer portals
- 0:52Speaker 1: open We're going to have plenty of stuff to talk about.
- 0:54Speaker 1: That's actually one of the things we'll be talking about
- 0:56Speaker 1: on today's show. We talk about the transfer portal, a
- 0:59Speaker 1: couple buck Eyes entering the portal. We'll talk about that
- 1:01Speaker 1: with their buddy buck Tony Gerdamant at buckheadle dot com.
- 1:04Speaker 1: We're also to be talking about in college football rules
- 1:06Speaker 1: changes at the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved this
- 1:09Speaker 1: week rules that people getting named rules named after themselves,
- 1:14Speaker 1: which is either a very good thing or a very
- 1:16Speaker 1: bad thing. So we'll be talking about that in a minute.
- 1:18Speaker 1: But Tony, let's start with the transfer portal. I don't
- 1:21Speaker 1: want to oversell this, but a couple buck Eyes, both
- 1:25Speaker 1: former walk Ons have in fact already entered the transfer
- 1:28Speaker 1: portal following the Ohio State spring game this week.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Yeah, receiver Reestocksdale and punter Anthony Veneri, and they both
- 1:35Speaker 2: have some interesting I guess history, and from what we've
- 1:39Speaker 2: seen of them, are most oft scene off remembered and
- 1:46Speaker 2: mentioned images of Restocksdale've always been working with Marvin Harrison
- 1:51Speaker 2: with the Monarch Machine, where we'll be doing the post
- 1:55Speaker 2: practice or post interview podcast on the indoor at the
- 2:00Speaker 2: at the woody and he would be those two would
- 2:02Speaker 2: be there religiously catching passes, feeding the machine, catching passes
- 2:07Speaker 2: and then so you know, this gives Stocksdale an opportunity
- 2:11Speaker 2: to go and play. And we've seen that happen before
- 2:13Speaker 2: with other Ohio State walk on receivers and then with Veneria,
- 2:16Speaker 2: I would say he was the most consistent punter that
- 2:18Speaker 2: I saw in the Friday practice before the spring game.
- 2:24Speaker 2: And he's the guy that came to Ohio State last
- 2:26Speaker 2: year to compete for the job and it didn't go
- 2:29Speaker 2: his way. So he's a guy with experience, what two
- 2:31Speaker 2: years as a starter at Buffalo, I believe. So both
- 2:34Speaker 2: of those guys, I think they'll be able to go
- 2:36Speaker 2: somewhere and play.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Yeah, both guys who are you feel like they at
- 2:41Speaker 1: a lower level program. Absolutely, you have a chance to
- 2:44Speaker 1: see them start. You know, you look at Reestocksdale and yeah,
- 2:47Speaker 1: I'm sure you were thinking about Sam wig Loose when
- 2:49Speaker 1: you were talking about that earlier. Sam Wigloise was a
- 2:51Speaker 1: former Ohio State walk on, went down to Ohio University
- 2:54Speaker 1: and then turned into one of their leading receivers for
- 2:56Speaker 1: a couple of years. And I mean a legitimate standout
- 2:58Speaker 1: player for them. You'd absolutely see that with someone like
- 3:01Speaker 1: Rhys Docksdale. He was kind of on the cusp of
- 3:04Speaker 1: getting playing time at Ohio State several times. You saw
- 3:06Speaker 1: him during the twenty twenty three Indiana game at home,
- 3:12Speaker 1: he was or was it twenty twenty two, It might
- 3:14Speaker 1: have been twenty twenty two where they it was kind
- 3:16Speaker 1: of snowy and just kind of a crappy day. It
- 3:20Speaker 1: was the game where cam Bab had the touchdown reception.
- 3:22Speaker 1: At the end of the game, he was out there
- 3:24Speaker 1: and he was returning punts. It was kind of a
- 3:26Speaker 1: lousy day weatherwise, and he muffed the punt and then
- 3:29Speaker 1: you know, when you're a walk on, you don't necessarily
- 3:31Speaker 1: get a second chance to make a first impression in
- 3:33Speaker 1: something like that. But you know he was. This was
- 3:35Speaker 1: not someone who was just buried on the depth chart.
- 3:37Speaker 1: This is someone who was close enough to legitimate playing
- 3:41Speaker 1: time at Ohio State at the A You could definitely
- 3:42Speaker 1: see some bigger and better things for him as he
- 3:46Speaker 1: had heads into the transfer portal. So we will keep
- 3:48Speaker 1: an eye on where both of those guys potentially land.
- 3:51Speaker 1: So now onto the rules changes, and this is one
- 3:53Speaker 1: of these things that you know no one is ever
- 3:56Speaker 1: that excited to hear about it, but this is one
- 3:58Speaker 1: of the things that I feel like we need to do.
- 4:00Speaker 1: It's like when we did the playoff previews last year
- 4:02Speaker 1: and we kept telling you kind of running through, like
- 4:04Speaker 1: all the different scenarios for the college football playoffs, so
- 4:06Speaker 1: you sort of understood what you were looking at and
- 4:09Speaker 1: what you were seeing and experiencing and what to sort
- 4:12Speaker 1: of expect during the course of the fall. This is
- 4:14Speaker 1: kind of the same thing, where you know, none of
- 4:17Speaker 1: these are like, oh, now they're playing by Canadian football
- 4:19Speaker 1: rules and it's three downs and you can have two
- 4:21Speaker 1: guys in motion towards the line of scrimmage at the
- 4:23Speaker 1: time at this now, there's nothing like that. But there
- 4:25Speaker 1: are some significant rule changes. One that I think Ohio
- 4:29Speaker 1: State fans were very upset about last year. That is
- 4:31Speaker 1: going to be corrected. That one Tony I mentioned earlier.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Sometimes you get a rule name for your you know,
- 4:37Speaker 1: named after you, and it's a good thing and sometimes
- 4:39Speaker 1: it's a bad thing. I will leave it up to
- 4:41Speaker 1: you to decide whether the Dan Lanning rule is a
- 4:43Speaker 1: good thing for Dan Lanning or a bad thing.
- 4:45Speaker 2: For dam Well, it's always good to be known. I
- 4:48Speaker 2: guess as long as people are talking about you. But yeah,
- 4:52Speaker 2: it's I think he probably takes it as a source
- 4:56Speaker 2: of pride, like, look at this loophole that I found,
- 4:58Speaker 2: and then now they've closed it, and that's of course
- 5:01Speaker 2: the the twelve men on the field of defense. And
- 5:05Speaker 2: if you get caught, then the offense has the option
- 5:09Speaker 2: of putting time back on the clock. And it's it's something.
- 5:14Speaker 2: But I'm sure, knowing how much they look for loopholes,
- 5:17Speaker 2: he is probably thrilled that he's got one that is
- 5:24Speaker 2: on his name. And I'm not sure if he's gonna
- 5:26Speaker 2: have like a plaque made up for it, or it's
- 5:28Speaker 2: gonna be something hanging on his wall where it's gonna
- 5:30Speaker 2: be printed out, like if you go with the the
- 5:33Speaker 2: entire rule that it's just put it out from the
- 5:37Speaker 2: the NCAA, dot dot com or dot org and he's
- 5:40Speaker 2: gonna be like I did that. You know how Kevin
- 5:43Speaker 2: Warren would have all of his degrees and his certifications.
- 5:47Speaker 2: I think Dan Landing is the kind of guy like,
- 5:49Speaker 2: look at all of the rules that I've had change
- 5:51Speaker 2: because of me, and he'd have them all framed and
- 5:54Speaker 2: they certainly be like yes, I'm the one. I am responsible.
- 5:58Speaker 2: That is mine. I take on ship of that, thank you.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Yeah. The next one probably this one. This one doesn't
- 6:06Speaker 1: doesn't have as official a name. I have my thoughts
- 6:08Speaker 1: on who it could be named after. Definitely something that
- 6:11Speaker 1: they're trying to address. I don't know how effectively this
- 6:13Speaker 1: is going to address the issue that they're trying to address.
- 6:16Speaker 1: But the issue of faking injuries that was sort of
- 6:19Speaker 1: a long recurring thing. Last fall. We saw a bunch
- 6:22Speaker 1: in the SEC when we were watching Tennessee games where
- 6:25Speaker 1: it was just, you know, half of the team would
- 6:27Speaker 1: go down like they got shot by a sniper after
- 6:29Speaker 1: a play, and it was like, all right, you probably
- 6:31Speaker 1: don't all have cramps at the same time. But you know,
- 6:34Speaker 1: they're trying to address it. We'll see how effectively they
- 6:37Speaker 1: can do it. Tony, I'm calling this one the Lane
- 6:40Speaker 1: Kiffen rule.
- 6:42Speaker 2: And so the rule on this one is like, under
- 6:46Speaker 2: the new rule, if medical personnel enter the field to
- 6:49Speaker 2: evaluate an injured player after the ball is spotted by
- 6:51Speaker 2: the officiating crew for the next play, that player's team
- 6:55Speaker 2: will be charged to time out. And what if the
- 7:00Speaker 2: medical personnel don't ever go out there? Like what if
- 7:04Speaker 2: you go down and the medical personnel just stay on
- 7:06Speaker 2: the sideline like come to us, come to us, or
- 7:11Speaker 2: you or you coach your players like, hey, after this play,
- 7:14Speaker 2: get down, Like because it is this something where you
- 7:17Speaker 2: send out now quarterbacks get two plays and you choose
- 7:20Speaker 2: the right play. Will the defense now get two plays?
- 7:23Speaker 2: Like okay, here's a play. After this play, you go
- 7:25Speaker 2: down before that ball gets spotted, Like there are workarounds
- 7:27Speaker 2: around this, but at least they're trying to address the
- 7:30Speaker 2: blatant part of this, where it's like I'm leaving the field,
- 7:33Speaker 2: Oh no, I've been shot, and then you go down.
- 7:37Speaker 2: So they're they're trying to address it, but there's no
- 7:41Speaker 2: great way to get rid of this. This is a
- 7:44Speaker 2: way to slow some of it down, though.
- 7:48Speaker 1: I think the real solution is to give the officials
- 7:50Speaker 1: that magic freezy spray that they have for soccer players, where,
- 7:54Speaker 1: you know, speaking of games where sometimes guys pretend to
- 7:58Speaker 1: be significantly more injured than they are, you know, maybe
- 8:00Speaker 1: maybe you get the magic freeze spray from soccer and
- 8:03Speaker 1: you're going to get sprayed. So if you don't want
- 8:05Speaker 1: to get sprayed, you don't get fake injuries we'll see.
- 8:08Speaker 1: I think they're probably this is this is like a
- 8:11Speaker 1: very noble attempt to address the issue. I don't think
- 8:13Speaker 1: it's actually going to fix it. I think it's just
- 8:14Speaker 1: going to look a little different next year. But we'll
- 8:17Speaker 1: see how that goes. Next one. This is one that, Boy,
- 8:20Speaker 1: if you've ever watched an overtime football game, you're going
- 8:23Speaker 1: to be so happy about this one. They are limiting
- 8:25Speaker 1: the number of timeouts in overtime to avoid having head
- 8:29Speaker 1: coaches ruin you know, what should be the most exciting
- 8:32Speaker 1: portion of a game by constantly calling timeouts. I go
- 8:34Speaker 1: back to the Georgia Georgia Tech game last year where
- 8:37Speaker 1: it was, you know, endlessly overtimes, and it just you
- 8:40Speaker 1: constantly had timeouts and it was so irritating. However, Tony,
- 8:44Speaker 1: I'm going a little off the board here, Tony, We're
- 8:46Speaker 1: calling this the tom is overall.
- 8:48Speaker 2: You beat me to it. You beat me to it, Tom.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I appreciate that. One of the worst times that I've
- 8:54Speaker 2: ever heard of. Yeah, So this one is basically, once
- 8:57Speaker 2: the third overtime begins, you're giving one time out and
- 9:01Speaker 2: that's it for the rest of the game. So use
- 9:04Speaker 2: it to use it sparingly and you're only going to
- 9:07Speaker 2: use it once. So yes, instead of a timeout every
- 9:10Speaker 2: overtime where you know what, let's let's freeze a kicker
- 9:13Speaker 2: or let's do this or let's do that, now you
- 9:15Speaker 2: get one and that's it. So yes, they've they're they've
- 9:22Speaker 2: they've made overtime worse, I would say, in my opinion,
- 9:25Speaker 2: because I always liked the other overtime. I probably always
- 9:28Speaker 2: preferred that because I don't mind watching a bunch of
- 9:29Speaker 2: overtime football, but I don't like watching a bunch of
- 9:33Speaker 2: two point tries. So this is good. Getting getting rid
- 9:37Speaker 2: of the timeouts, just giving them one time out after
- 9:40Speaker 2: the third or in the third, I think is a good, good,
- 9:45Speaker 2: good compromise for the overtime.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, because what happened. I mean, if you
- 9:50Speaker 1: didn't watch that Georgia Georgia Tech game last year, and
- 9:52Speaker 1: this was not the only example of it, but you
- 9:54Speaker 1: have that the offense would line up with their play
- 9:57Speaker 1: and it's just you have one play. You just have
- 9:59Speaker 1: to get a two conversion or not, and then the
- 10:01Speaker 1: defense would call time out and then you had to say, well, okay,
- 10:04Speaker 1: so now we're not lined up and you know we
- 10:05Speaker 1: either have to have them know exactly what we're going
- 10:08Speaker 1: to line up as, or we have to go away
- 10:10Speaker 1: from what we had as our plan A for this
- 10:13Speaker 1: most important play of the game. And you could just
- 10:14Speaker 1: do that every overtime. It was incredibly irritating. So yeah,
- 10:19Speaker 1: that's that's a good one. The rest of them, we're
- 10:22Speaker 1: getting a little bit more into minutia. So I don't
- 10:24Speaker 1: even necessarily have specific names in mind here. If you
- 10:26Speaker 1: have one, by all means go ahead. But there is
- 10:29Speaker 1: going to be tony a change in college football replay,
- 10:32Speaker 1: and it's really just what they're going to be saying
- 10:34Speaker 1: on the field after the replay.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Yeah, No, there's no longer a confirmed or stands. The
- 10:40Speaker 2: referee will just say that the call on the field
- 10:42Speaker 2: is upheld or overturned, which is a complete cop out
- 10:46Speaker 2: in my mind. If you can't say confirmed or stands,
- 10:50Speaker 2: just getting rid of that is kind of soft in
- 10:54Speaker 2: my opinion. But do I have a name for it.
- 10:57Speaker 2: I don't, unfortunately, so now we can move on. But yeah,
- 11:02Speaker 2: I don't like it, Like, why why can't you confirm it?
- 11:04Speaker 2: Why can't you say that you can't confirm it?
- 11:07Speaker 1: Yeah, that always felt like it was at least kind
- 11:10Speaker 1: of you could see if you were on the same
- 11:12Speaker 1: page as the officiating crew, where it's like, yeah, this
- 11:14Speaker 1: is clearly, this is clearly a the official replay shows
- 11:20Speaker 1: this definitely, or just yeah, it's a little unclear. So
- 11:22Speaker 1: we just kind of were defaulting to what we had
- 11:24Speaker 1: on the field that was at least a little bit
- 11:26Speaker 1: interesting to me. But we're getting away from that. So
- 11:29Speaker 1: you know, cowards, terrible cowards. Uh, well, we will know
- 11:32Speaker 1: a little bit less, but it ultimately the result will
- 11:35Speaker 1: not be changed. Next up, I'm just kinda kind of
- 11:38Speaker 1: lumped this together Special Teams Minutia. There's all sorts of
- 11:41Speaker 1: special Teams Minutia. There was someone Now I'm now trying
- 11:44Speaker 1: to think that because they're changing the rule on being
- 11:47Speaker 1: able to stick your arms out like a tee and
- 11:49Speaker 1: then to actually catch the ball. Someone did that last
- 11:52Speaker 1: year and then caught the kickoff and ran it back
- 11:54Speaker 1: because the opposing kickoff the opposing team wasn't wasn't ready
- 11:58Speaker 1: for it. Now I'm forgetting who that was, so that
- 12:01Speaker 1: this is named in honor of that guy. But then
- 12:03Speaker 1: there's a bunch of other stuff that's like real special
- 12:06Speaker 1: Teams Minutia line of scrimmage stuff.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Yeah, like you can't have somebody lined up between the
- 12:13Speaker 2: long snapper and the kicker or the punter, things like that.
- 12:18Speaker 2: And if you snap from the line of scrimmage, or
- 12:20Speaker 2: if you snap from like the end of the line
- 12:21Speaker 2: of scrimmage, that player, that snapper, that center is no
- 12:24Speaker 2: longer protected. Whereas you know, if they're in the middle
- 12:28Speaker 2: of the line of scrimmage and they're surrounded by their
- 12:31Speaker 2: line mates, you know, there's a whole roughing the center thing,
- 12:34Speaker 2: roughing the snapper. You you can rub basically, you can
- 12:37Speaker 2: rough the snapper if he's on the edge of the
- 12:39Speaker 2: line of scrimmage as you see all of these weird
- 12:42Speaker 2: swinging gate types of things. If he's got it. So
- 12:45Speaker 2: they've they've kind of done some of those things. That
- 12:47Speaker 2: is part of that minutia that you mentioned. The tea.
- 12:52Speaker 2: I was thinking, like, why do I just do like
- 12:54Speaker 2: a tea with your arms, you know, like one arm
- 12:56Speaker 2: to the other rather than holding them out, because that
- 12:58Speaker 2: can be misconstrued a lot of ways. But yes, always
- 13:02Speaker 2: finding trying to find a better way to figure things
- 13:07Speaker 2: out and keep keep because their complaints every year in
- 13:11Speaker 2: terms of hey, these guys are finding these loopholes. These
- 13:14Speaker 2: guys are bending these rules, so they have to make
- 13:17Speaker 2: them more rigid or make them punish people for trying
- 13:21Speaker 2: to take advantage of just all of these different rules
- 13:26Speaker 2: that don't yet have boundaries that you wouldn't think of.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Because Tom, I'm not gonna blame analytics, but I'll blame nerds.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Tough, tough, but fair, and here I am about to
- 13:38Speaker 1: say something nice about you. The next one is it's
- 13:43Speaker 1: related to pre snap motion and conversation and you know,
- 13:47Speaker 1: the disconcerting signals and one of my favorite tweets of
- 13:51Speaker 1: all time, I think someone tweeted you that disconcerting signals
- 13:53Speaker 1: with your high school band's name, and you said you
- 13:55Speaker 1: were the only ones that clapped at your shows, which
- 13:57Speaker 1: is so good, so so good. But this is this
- 14:01Speaker 1: is all about the stuff that what you can do
- 14:03Speaker 1: and what you can't do. This is something that showed
- 14:05Speaker 1: up a bunch a couple of times in the college
- 14:06Speaker 1: football playoff. I think it was the Notre Dame Indiana
- 14:09Speaker 1: game where you had a bunch of you know, delay
- 14:13Speaker 1: of game on the defense penalties that you never saw
- 14:16Speaker 1: and then you saw them in some really big moments.
- 14:18Speaker 1: So they're working to sort of clarify some of those rules.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's both sides, where like the offense can't
- 14:26Speaker 2: say two terms, two defensive terms, move and stem. If
- 14:29Speaker 2: the offense says that, then there's going to be a
- 14:32Speaker 2: delay of game. And it's you know, we've seen the
- 14:35Speaker 2: players that defensive guys linebacker will clap simulate the quarterback
- 14:41Speaker 2: there or a hut or things like that. So they're
- 14:44Speaker 2: just trying to accentuate those more and keep people in
- 14:50Speaker 2: check on what they do because again, everybody's looking for
- 14:53Speaker 2: a little a little leeway and looking for a little advantage.
- 14:57Speaker 2: And so yeah, no player can call defensive signal that
- 15:00Speaker 2: simulate the sound or cades of the offensive signals. And
- 15:03Speaker 2: basically there's no reason for you to say these words.
- 15:05Speaker 2: There's no reason for you to say these words. You
- 15:07Speaker 2: guys just stick to your own words.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Yeah, so everyone has to stick to their own words
- 15:12Speaker 1: and not you know, it's going to be like a
- 15:14Speaker 1: pee Wee's playhouse where if you say stem on offense,
- 15:17Speaker 1: the chair starts going crazy and pee Wee screaming. But yeah,
- 15:21Speaker 1: that's that's a you know, again, if you can avoid
- 15:25Speaker 1: some of the kind of significant penalty calls that you
- 15:29Speaker 1: saw during games that were consequential, games that were like,
- 15:32Speaker 1: you never see this call. So if you can provide
- 15:34Speaker 1: a little more clarity around that, that's probably a good thing.
- 15:37Speaker 1: So we will try to provide more clarity around what's
- 15:40Speaker 1: going on with Ohio State football as we continue to
- 15:42Speaker 1: cover the Buckeyes this offseason. I'm sure there's going to
- 15:45Speaker 1: be more transfer portal news, both incoming and outgoing in
- 15:48Speaker 1: the coming days and coming weeks. We'll be covering all
- 15:50Speaker 1: of that for you at buckeyehuddle dot com. That's where
- 15:53Speaker 1: Tony Kevin and I cover the team, Mark Arvers recruiting.
- 15:55Speaker 1: We got our whole team of excess to those crews,
- 15:57Speaker 1: they're all as well like you with smarter football fan
- 16:00Speaker 1: That is all at buckehuddle dot Com. That'll do it
- 16:02Speaker 1: for today. Thank you guys all for joining us. Have
- 16:04Speaker 1: a great day. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
