4 Things We Learned From Ohio State's 48-10 Win Over UCLA · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyees tomorrow morning for Sunday, November sixteenth. I'm
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: your host, tom Or the Rutgers game in six days,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the game against Michigan in thirteen days. Holy Moses, the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: seeson is flying by. If you're planning your next event,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: make it unforgettable. With Grateful Grittle, Columbus's favorite food truck
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: serving up Smashburger's gourmet sandwiches and good vibes. Booker catering
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: today at Grateful Griddle. Oh, the vibes are decidedly mixed
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: after Ohio States forty eight to ten win over UCLA.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I'm joined by Kevin Noon of Buckehuddle dot com. It
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: is not Kevin's fault that the vibes are mixed. It
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: is more injury concerns I think around the Ohio State
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: program following this game. Coming in, we knew Carnell Tate
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: was out. He was not dressed, he was just in
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: street clothes. Jeremiah Smith was listed as a game time
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: decision or questionable and he played but then didn't.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Look great coming off the field.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: What did Brian Day have to say after the game.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no lingering concerns.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I mean just want to get him right, little pitch count,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: all those types of things wouldn't really get into huge
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: specifics because again, you know, coaches are really hinky about
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: getting into injury things, but you know, they just wanted
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: to get him an opportunity, but you know, be smart
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: with him. So you know, it really just kind of
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: seems like a pitch count. Now, the skeptic in me
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: is like, we're not going to see him against Rutgers,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: are we. I mean, then again, you know, he could
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: have a he could have a good week at practice
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: and you know, go in and you know, see the
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: trainers and everything else. But two weeks from now, thirteen
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: days heard it here first thirteen days, that's you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that's that's the final exam.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And I saw a lot of people you will not
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: believe that there were some strong opinions on Twitter dot
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: com during the course of the game, and you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is one of these things we
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: need to sort of emphasize, like we know that you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: dear Ohio State fan at home are concerned about Jeremiah
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Smith and feel that it is important for Jeremiah Smith
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to be healthy for the Michigan game, and that that
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: needs to be the top priority. I don't want to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: shock anyone, but the coaching staff also probably shares that view,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that priority and is aware that the Michigan game is
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: less than two weeks away now, So you know, I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: think there is a little bit, you know, I don't
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: think you always need to be, in all senses a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: defer to authority person.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But also.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith is seeing actual professional medical doctors during the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: week and is being, you know, is a high priority
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: individual within the football facility. So I think you kind
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of have to look at that and go, well, these
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: people aren't idiots, so they're probably you know, this probably
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: is not necessarily full crisis mode like the way people
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: are maybe sort of trying to make it out to be.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: He's getting far better medical care than I am. Probably
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: you and probably most most of our most of our
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: viewers have they right now. Yeah, if if it were
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: crisis mode, you know, they you know, we wouldn't have
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: seen him out there. I mean, I mean, they had
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: them listened as questionable. I mean, they really they really
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: dragged the availability report. I just don't think they wanted
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to hit send on it. There's a deadline by the
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Big ten, and I think they got it in there
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: at the last second. And yeah, but you know, I
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: think that I think that they're going to be people.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I read some wild ass guesses out there.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Don't don't demonetize us about oh, you know, tape's done
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: for the year and things like that, and you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: it's just, you know, there's just everybody so desperately wants
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: to get out there and throw something against the wall
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and if it sticks, you're a genius. And if not,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: you know, people will forget it. But you know, we
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: sat there and we talked to Ryan day after this,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and you know, it seems like everything seems to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: moving in the right directions, but we've never been misled before.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, I think, probably stow your panic
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: until it is proven warranted, which I don't think we
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: were at that point right now.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: So you see neither of them on the bus to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and right.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know at that point you have my permission
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to panic, but not probably not before or then. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in Cardinal Tait, I don't think there has been a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: material change to Cardinal Tate's status. It was just he
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: probably could have gone last week, he probably could go
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: this week. The fact that they're treating him a little
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: more cautiously is probably a decent sign for what that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: might mean for Jeremi Smith. All right, that is the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: end of general Hospital. Now onto the football, and it
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: was a solid workmanlike performance for Ohio State. They outgained
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: UCLA by two yards of play. It was probably it
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was much more lopsided than that before they put the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: backups in and Ucla started moving the ball a little bit.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Twenty three for thirty one for one hundred and eighty
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: four yards in a touchdown for Julian saying, just fine.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I mean that's that's pretty pedestrian for I mean very
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I mean he was. He came in at seventy four percent.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: You know, well under his eighty eighty one percent, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: one touchdown pass. You know, well under his three or
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: four that he's been getting. But you sit there on
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the other side and you look, and they ran for
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Two yards, yeah, and six point seven yards per carry
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: without having a seventy yarder or an eighty yarder to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: sort of skew things. Bo Jackson fifteen carries one hundred
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and twelve yards in a touchdown. Isaiah West eight carries
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: sixty one yards in a touchdown. James Peepel's six carries
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: forty two yards, two touchdowns and one incredible hurdle. It
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: was this was in terms of the running game, maybe
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: one of the best games that they've had this season.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Then you see las defense is not amazing, but this
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: is what you would certainly hope the running game would
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: look like against the defense that isn't amazing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I don't have the numbers in front of me because
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I have Tony's computer in front of me, but I
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: think this is probably the first game this season where
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Ohio State out rushed its passing numbers.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, well yeah, and they didn't do it by much,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: two twenty two to two eighteen, but it was. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: so in case you were fans of the Bull Prediction Show,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: they did not get to two twenty two twenty.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Tony was, well, how many points was how many points
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: was that?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I believe it was two.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: He was apoplectic about that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: When I can talk about anything else with the Bull
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Prediction Show, We're not here to talk about that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: We're here to talk about the game. I think we're
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: here to talk about Bull Prediction.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So it was, you know, the defense was really good.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And then when they put in the when they put
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in the backups, it started looking like, oh, these guys
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: aren't quite as good as his starters, which like, yeah,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that's that's how it works against the starters. Three plays
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: two yards punt, five plays eighteen yards punt, six plays
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: fourteen yards punt, three plays seven yards punt, four plays
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: negative eleven yards punt, four plays eight yards downs, three
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: plays negative eight yards punt. That seems like a pretty
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: good day of work for Matt Patrician and his guys.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they really had them stymied. I mean,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: obviously with them with UCLA having to run its backup quarterback,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: you know, making his first you know, his first action
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: on a roster filled with names that I as a
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: big college football fan, didn't really know who they were.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: You know it, they did a really good job of
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: shutting them down. I think UCLA had fifty yards of
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: total offense in the first half. It was, it was,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: it was. It was a very good game for that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, somebody pointed out, well, they didn't
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: have any sacks. You also, you know, you completely dominated them,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and sure ten points is a little bit more than
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: what they've been giving up on the season. But again
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: that you know, that was against the twos and the threes,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and you're just going to have that especially you know,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: now you're in November, you've got to sit there and
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: really keep guys on pitch counts because there's there's no
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: real time to sit.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: There and and get right.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, you got Rutgers where you know that game
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: is going to be what it is, and then you
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: got Michigan.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Ohio State No.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Ten and O, and that feels like that's worth mentioning
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that Ohios did is No. Ten and oh and basically
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: there's no way they miss the college football playoff at
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: this point, like there has been you know, there has
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: always been me, well, if something really stupid happens and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: then something else really stupid happens and then they lose
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: at Michigan, then maybe, But you're now at the point
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: where you're at ten and two Ohio st.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Eighteen is going to be playoffs.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: So you know that that's almost as much of a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: formality as when they were Bowl eligible, and we kind
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of you know, almost you know, maybe made a joke
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: of it that that they're six now they're ten and oh,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: so now they're college Football Playoff more or less certified.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So this is just it's you know, does that mean
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a lot, No, but it's just one more step you've
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: got to sort of cross on the way there. So
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: now next week against Rutgers Senior Day. Obviously that's always
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a big event.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: But that's Ryan's father, that's that's senor Day. Yes, his
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: uncle from Mexico. Yes, it is.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: It is a day where the game is almost secondary.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It's you know, I think I think number one getting
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: guys healthy into the onto the bus on the way
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to ann Arbor, and number two getting you know, just
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: win the game. You got to win the game by
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: three points. It doesn't matter. If you win the game
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: by ten points, great, if you win the game by
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: seventeen points, great, it doesn't matter. The difference between winning
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the game by thirty points and seventeen points or ten
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: points doesn't matter at all. No one's gonna care, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: no one's gonna remember that's the game. Where as soon
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: as we walk out of this building, really almost as
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: soon as the game ends, there's almost never any questions
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: about the game. It's always immediately turn the page in
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the next you know, and this is that's less than
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a week away.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Right, I mean there there are always like certain events
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: where it's like, well, that's going to be the least
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: red story and whatever the second to last game of
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: the regular season is. And there were years where the
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: schedule makers did not like Ohio State and they got
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Penn State, and then they would get Michigan and that
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: would be a little bit different. But when you sit
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: there and you end up with Rutgers, it's gonna be yeah,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: all right, I don't care, get us onto the get
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: us onto the next one, and you know, let's let's
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: see what happens.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll see.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: How they handle injury stuff, We'll see how they handle
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: managing pitch counts, managing load management, whatever you know, whatever
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it is. We'll see how that's probably gonna be one
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of the big stories this week. We'll be talking about
