Ohio State Ran Well At Northwestern, Now Can They Do It Against Indiana? · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to buck Eyes tomorrow morning from Monday, November eighteenth.
0:03
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Tom Moore. The Indiana game in five days,
0:06
Speaker 1: the Gammigants mission in twelve days. Boy, those numbers are
0:09
Speaker 1: getting pretty small, aren't they. We're getting towards the end
0:12
Speaker 1: of the college football regular season. Buckeyes ten games into
0:16
Speaker 1: that twelve game regular season, and they're there at nine
0:19
Speaker 1: to one following a thirty one to seven win over
0:21
Speaker 1: Northwestern inside Wrigley Field on Saturday. Quite a fun afternoon
0:26
Speaker 1: of football. Now the water gets a little deeper. Buckey's
0:29
Speaker 1: heading into their third Top five matchup of the season
0:31
Speaker 1: against Indiana this week. But before we get to the Hoosiers,
0:35
Speaker 1: going to take a little bit of a look back
0:36
Speaker 1: at that win over Northwestern and then a little bit
0:39
Speaker 1: of a peek ahead at the Hoosiers with some of
0:40
Speaker 1: these questions. We're going to doing that with some of
0:42
Speaker 1: the interviews with the O Highsted players and head coach
0:44
Speaker 1: Bryan Day following that game. Let's start with Ryan Day.
0:48
Speaker 1: His team got off to a little bit of a
0:49
Speaker 1: slow start, but then had a twenty eight point avalanche
0:52
Speaker 1: surrounding halftime that really turned the game around.
0:56
Speaker 2: You know, we struggled getting off the field on third down.
1:00
Speaker 2: You know, on that first drive, the first one, I
1:02
Speaker 2: think it was third and ten eleven or twelve, so
1:04
Speaker 2: it was third an extra long and you know, they
1:07
Speaker 2: ran it for a first down and then converted on
1:09
Speaker 2: a couple of the third downs, and then you know,
1:12
Speaker 2: we settled down a little bit. We went right down
1:15
Speaker 2: the field and then took a negative play on the
1:17
Speaker 2: first down. I thought we had the touch down with Jeremiah,
1:20
Speaker 2: got called back, went to a pooch situation, and then
1:22
Speaker 2: they weren't down the field and scored, so they really
1:24
Speaker 2: controlled the first quarter of the game. I thought about
1:27
Speaker 2: taking the ball early in this game because I knew that,
1:29
Speaker 2: you know, that would be their plan, and decided to
1:32
Speaker 2: continue with what we've been doing. And I thought we
1:33
Speaker 2: did a nice job at the end of the first
1:35
Speaker 2: half going into the third quarter, where you know, that's
1:38
Speaker 2: that's very, very important to play that way. But like
1:41
Speaker 2: you said, a couple of those turnovers certainly helped us
1:42
Speaker 2: in the first half.
1:43
Speaker 1: Buck Guy defense definitely got off to a rough start
1:46
Speaker 1: to the day. If it twenty four plays for one
1:48
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one yards and that one touchdown on
1:51
Speaker 1: those first two drives. I will do the math for you.
1:53
Speaker 1: Six point seven yards per play. That's a lot. But
1:57
Speaker 1: then the rest of the game forty two plays for
1:59
Speaker 1: north Western just ninety ninety yards total for that whole
2:03
Speaker 1: rest of the game. Two point one yards per play
2:06
Speaker 1: for the rest of the game. So okay, that's a
2:08
Speaker 1: pretty big difference. What changed there between that those first
2:12
Speaker 1: couple drives and then the rest of the game.
2:15
Speaker 3: I just think we got off the field on third down.
2:17
Speaker 2: Now, I mean, it only had fifty yards rushing, but
2:20
Speaker 2: but we started getting off the field on third down,
2:22
Speaker 2: got some nice sacks. A couple of those third downs
2:24
Speaker 2: were third extra longs where the one was a run
2:26
Speaker 2: and thin one was the bubble screen, and so you know,
2:30
Speaker 2: that kind of continued some drives, but overall I thought
2:32
Speaker 2: we settled down.
2:33
Speaker 3: Once those first couple drives hit.
2:34
Speaker 1: One of the many storylines going into the game was
2:37
Speaker 1: the sort of homecoming game for Carnel Tait. It was
2:40
Speaker 1: his first time playing and his hometown of Chicago since
2:43
Speaker 1: his freshman year of high school. He then went to
2:45
Speaker 1: IMG Academy down in Florida, so this was a little
2:48
Speaker 1: bit of an emotional game. He lost his mother a
2:50
Speaker 1: year ago. He had dozens of family and friends there
2:53
Speaker 1: at the game, and what happened, well, then he caught
2:56
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, his first multi touchdown game as a college player.
3:01
Speaker 1: Very cool day, very cool story for Carnell Tait.
3:04
Speaker 2: You know, Carnel's not someone who talks about himself or
3:06
Speaker 2: really even want me talking about him right now and
3:09
Speaker 2: everything that he's been through. But we all know that
3:11
Speaker 2: he lost his mom and he does not show that
3:14
Speaker 2: every day when he's here. And you know, we say
3:16
Speaker 2: it all the time that the game doesn't care about
3:18
Speaker 2: what you've been through when you cross that line you
3:20
Speaker 2: go on to the field, The game doesn't doesn't really care,
3:22
Speaker 2: but we do.
3:23
Speaker 3: You know, his teammates do, as coaches do.
3:25
Speaker 2: The people know Carnell care a lot about him, and
3:28
Speaker 2: you know, just the way that he's handled himself has
3:30
Speaker 2: just been an example to everybody, and you know, we
3:33
Speaker 2: care a lot about him.
3:34
Speaker 3: And to see him get two touchdown passes in.
3:36
Speaker 2: His hometown in front of a big I think he
3:38
Speaker 2: had over twenty five people here watching him. I know
3:40
Speaker 2: it means a lot to him, but also means a
3:42
Speaker 2: lot to us. And you know, really happy for him today.
3:45
Speaker 1: Those touchdown throws to Carnell Tape, we're just part of
3:47
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bigger pattern for the buck Eyes,
3:49
Speaker 1: and that was Hey, they tried to push the ball
3:51
Speaker 1: downfield a little bit more in the passing game. So
3:54
Speaker 1: how did Brian Day feel that Will Howard did overall?
3:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like there were some really good ones
3:59
Speaker 2: in there, and we pushed the all down the field
4:00
Speaker 2: and got you know, some of our playmakers the ball
4:02
Speaker 2: in space, which was great.
4:04
Speaker 3: You know, I think there's other things that we've got
4:06
Speaker 3: to do a little.
4:06
Speaker 2: Better job of, but but we know that, you know,
4:09
Speaker 2: we want to have balance and you know, we want
4:11
Speaker 2: to stretch the field vertically and horizontally, and you know,
4:15
Speaker 2: I felt like there were times you did that today.
4:17
Speaker 3: You know, we'll watch the film get on it.
4:18
Speaker 2: But you know, I feel like, you know, we have
4:21
Speaker 2: the combination of of you know, getting completions throwing the
4:24
Speaker 2: ball down the field.
4:24
Speaker 3: And then there was a point there.
4:26
Speaker 2: I think it was the third quarter, maybe the beginning
4:28
Speaker 2: of the fourth we started running ball and get bound
4:30
Speaker 2: hill and started you know, cracking a run game and
4:32
Speaker 2: chipped a nice job of staying with that.
4:34
Speaker 3: So I thought that was good.
4:34
Speaker 2: I thought the on line made some adjustments on some
4:36
Speaker 2: of the things they were doing, and that's what.
4:38
Speaker 3: We need to get done. So, you know, overall good.
4:40
Speaker 3: I would like to see us finish the fourth quarter
4:42
Speaker 3: better that we needed. You know, we did we needed
4:44
Speaker 3: to do in this game.
4:45
Speaker 1: We mentioned the slow start earlier, but the defense once
4:48
Speaker 1: again stood pretty tall. It gave up only seven points
4:50
Speaker 1: all day. How has that defense really responded following that
4:54
Speaker 1: Oregon loss about a month ago? And how is Brian
4:57
Speaker 1: Day feeling about that defense with Indiana and Michigan now
5:00
Speaker 1: on deck.
5:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got some really big games ahead of us,
5:03
Speaker 2: and we know that we want to be playing our
5:05
Speaker 2: best football November I said that a million times, but
5:07
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like we've done a better job
5:09
Speaker 2: againting to the quarterback, I feel like we're playing better
5:11
Speaker 2: technically fundamentally, and we have to continue to do that
5:14
Speaker 2: and understand situations.
5:17
Speaker 3: You know, all the above, So we'll get back in
5:20
Speaker 3: it each week. Is it's a new season.
5:22
Speaker 2: You know, what you've done in the past has nothing
5:24
Speaker 2: to do with what's going to happen moving forward, other
5:25
Speaker 2: than the fact that you've learned things and you have
5:28
Speaker 2: to use those experiences to help you moving forward. But
5:30
Speaker 2: what really matters is what we do moving into this
5:32
Speaker 2: game next week.
5:33
Speaker 1: The Indiana Hoosiers are one of the best run defenses
5:36
Speaker 1: in the nation. The Buck guys have to deal with
5:38
Speaker 1: that this weekend. But Northwestern was a pretty good run
5:41
Speaker 1: defense coming into last week's game, and then Ohio State
5:44
Speaker 1: ran for five point two yards per carry through the
5:46
Speaker 1: course of the game, including seven point eight yards per
5:48
Speaker 1: carry in the third quarter and six point two yards
5:51
Speaker 1: per carry in the fourth quarter. When they needed to
5:54
Speaker 1: run the ball they get the game over with. They
5:56
Speaker 1: were able to do it despite the fact that Northwestern
5:58
Speaker 1: was a pretty good run defense. So what's what's working
6:01
Speaker 1: right now for the Buckye run game?
6:03
Speaker 2: They, like so many teams in the Big Ten, do
6:05
Speaker 2: such a great great job against the run. I mean,
6:07
Speaker 2: they're they're gonna they're gonna put a bunch of guys.
6:08
Speaker 3: In the box.
6:09
Speaker 2: And that's why you saw us push the ball down
6:10
Speaker 2: the field, because when they're gonna put that many guys
6:12
Speaker 2: in the box, you got to stretch them vertically. And
6:14
Speaker 2: I thought Will did a nice job. But when it
6:16
Speaker 2: was there, checking it down and keeping us on rhythm
6:18
Speaker 2: on some of those.
6:18
Speaker 3: Plays and that's that's good football.
6:21
Speaker 2: But we did make some adjustments there, and I thought,
6:23
Speaker 2: I thought, we finally, you know, got that run game going.
6:25
Speaker 3: And the run game takes time, you know, you.
6:27
Speaker 2: Know certain games, and you know we'd love to you know,
6:30
Speaker 2: be hitting those you know, four, five, six, seven, eight nine,
6:33
Speaker 2: maybe more runs you know, yard runs early in the game,
6:37
Speaker 2: but you know, it takes a little time, and you
6:39
Speaker 2: got to make those adjustments. And I think Chip did
6:40
Speaker 2: a good job of coming back to some stuff that
6:42
Speaker 2: we did make adjustments on Justin and the guys with
6:45
Speaker 2: the old line. So there was some good things there overall.
6:49
Speaker 2: And yeah, again, well we'll learn from it, we'll grow
6:51
Speaker 2: from it. And every week you got to keep getting better.
6:53
Speaker 2: So we'll do that in the you know, in the
6:55
Speaker 2: film room tomorrow and then and then move on to
6:57
Speaker 2: next week.
6:57
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen the last couple of weeks, as
6:59
Speaker 1: the Buckeyes have some more overmatched opponents, is they've been
7:02
Speaker 1: rotating things a little bit more at corner. You've seen
7:05
Speaker 1: a lot more snaps for Jermaine Matthews when the game
7:08
Speaker 1: is still relatively close, you're not in garbage time, when
7:10
Speaker 1: you're seeing him plenty on the outside, So what went
7:13
Speaker 1: into that decision.
7:15
Speaker 3: I think we did it.
7:16
Speaker 2: We did it last week too, and we'll continue to
7:18
Speaker 2: do that when we feel like it's it's appropriate to
7:20
Speaker 2: play depth. We've been trying to get that done. We've
7:22
Speaker 2: getting more and more guys reps the last couple of weeks.
7:24
Speaker 2: I think it's helped the overall morale of the team.
7:26
Speaker 2: I think it helps him practice. I think it helps
7:28
Speaker 2: with our depth. I think it's healthy for us. So
7:31
Speaker 2: you know, we'll keep looking at it and make sure
7:32
Speaker 2: that we're doing it right because we want our guys
7:34
Speaker 2: to be able to.
7:35
Speaker 3: Play their best in the fourth quarter and play their
7:36
Speaker 3: best at the end of the season.
7:38
Speaker 1: Sunday, the Buck Guys named Sunny Styles linebacker the defensive
7:41
Speaker 1: player of the game, picked up a couple of sacks,
7:43
Speaker 1: had a really impactful game overall. How has he continued
7:47
Speaker 1: to grow into his new role with the team this
7:49
Speaker 1: season to get to the point where he's playing as
7:51
Speaker 1: well as he is right now?
7:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need Sonny to be, you know, as productive
7:54
Speaker 2: as he was today. And when you can do it
7:57
Speaker 2: in man coverage, you can do it in zone coverage,
7:59
Speaker 2: you can blitz. You start to mix in all these
8:01
Speaker 2: different things you can do, then you've just become more
8:03
Speaker 2: of a weapon.
8:04
Speaker 3: And you saw them get after the quarterback today.
8:06
Speaker 2: That's something that we've been working on as some of
8:08
Speaker 2: the you know, the linebackers, dbs, everybody, you know, blitzing
8:11
Speaker 2: a little bit better and more efficiently with some of
8:13
Speaker 2: the tools they need. You don't just you know, run
8:16
Speaker 2: on a blitz and to go sack a quarterback. There's
8:17
Speaker 2: a lot that goes with that, and there's a couple
8:20
Speaker 2: in the last few weeks we've gone right by the
8:22
Speaker 2: quarterback you know, full speed, but have missed them. And
8:25
Speaker 2: so you know, we've tried to drill some of this
8:27
Speaker 2: work to make sure that we're doing a better job
8:29
Speaker 2: of avoiding the front line, the you know, the backers
8:32
Speaker 2: when they're are the.
8:33
Speaker 3: Running backs when they're coming to protect us.
8:35
Speaker 2: But then also you know, doing a great job of
8:36
Speaker 2: getting the quarterback down when we get into the backfield.
8:39
Speaker 2: So good for him to see some of that work
8:41
Speaker 2: paying off, and again we're going to need it more.
8:43
Speaker 1: Following that win over Penn State, the Buck guys knew
8:45
Speaker 1: they had a couple of games, so they were going
8:47
Speaker 1: to be pretty substantial favorites or five touchdown favorites against Purdue,
8:50
Speaker 1: four touchdown favorites against Northwestern, and they really handled their
8:54
Speaker 1: business for the most part, did what they needed to do.
8:57
Speaker 1: They're coming out of those games relatively healthy, which is
9:00
Speaker 1: big because you got some bigger challenges on deck. Now.
9:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know a lot of people ask me
9:05
Speaker 2: that going into the game. It's like, you know, how
9:07
Speaker 2: do you stay focused on this knowing there's other things
9:09
Speaker 2: down the road? But the truth is, like, you lose
9:11
Speaker 2: this game here and you know you're out against you know,
9:14
Speaker 2: then the Big Ten championship game. So we know that,
9:16
Speaker 2: we know that we got to be playing our best
9:18
Speaker 2: football in November. We want to be consistent in everything
9:20
Speaker 2: we do because you know, either we are we aren't,
9:22
Speaker 2: and everything you do is hard from the Big Ten.
9:25
Speaker 2: You know, you're not just going to walk in and
9:26
Speaker 2: think you're just gonna, you know, from the first snap on,
9:28
Speaker 2: roll your helmets out there and run the team out
9:30
Speaker 2: of the stadium. Doesn't work that way. And I think
9:32
Speaker 2: coach Brown's doing a good job. I like the way
9:34
Speaker 2: his team plays. They're they're physical, they had two weeks
9:37
Speaker 2: to prepare and and it's the same thing with the
9:39
Speaker 2: team we're going to play next week.
9:40
Speaker 3: You know, they've had two weeks to prepare.
9:42
Speaker 2: They've had a buye week coming into this, so they
9:43
Speaker 2: had a week to game plan us, you know, Northwestern did.
9:46
Speaker 2: We're two weeks and a week to rest up. So
9:49
Speaker 2: we know we're going to get their best shot and
9:51
Speaker 2: that's the way we want it. And I thought they
9:53
Speaker 2: did a nice job with some of the things they
9:54
Speaker 2: did early on. And I think he's a really good
9:56
Speaker 2: coach and they have a good team. So yeah, I
10:00
Speaker 2: think it's good to, like you said, you know, kind
10:03
Speaker 2: of a business like win and that that was the
10:05
Speaker 2: time to move on.
10:06
Speaker 1: Ryan Day has been Ohio States head coach since the
10:08
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen season, and then even coached four games this
10:12
Speaker 1: season before that during Urban Meyer suspension. Never lost to
10:16
Speaker 1: an unranked team, not a once. That's something that if
10:19
Speaker 1: you hear lots about Ryan Day and his record against
10:21
Speaker 1: top ten teams or top five teams or whatever, never
10:24
Speaker 1: lost to an unranked team. What goes into that, because
10:28
Speaker 1: that's something that even great coaches will lose a clunker
10:31
Speaker 1: every once in a while.
10:33
Speaker 2: The consistency of each game, and you know, if you're
10:38
Speaker 2: two people kind of ask me that going into it too.
10:39
Speaker 2: It you know, it's like, you know, if you're extreme here,
10:42
Speaker 2: what happens eventually you know you're going to come down
10:45
Speaker 2: this way.
10:45
Speaker 3: And so I think that's.
10:47
Speaker 2: Something that you know, I've really tried to, you know,
10:49
Speaker 2: learn during my time as a head coach, is you know,
10:53
Speaker 2: to be consistent and make it about the process, not
10:55
Speaker 2: about your opponent. Now, you got to know everything about
10:57
Speaker 2: your opponent, and certainly some games are different than others,
11:01
Speaker 2: but it's about our process, and the coaching staff has
11:04
Speaker 2: embraced that. I think the leaders have embraced that, and
11:07
Speaker 2: so we have to continue with our process this week.
11:09
Speaker 2: And you know, we got to get after these guys
11:10
Speaker 2: and make sure that you know, they're having a great
11:13
Speaker 2: week of practice and preparation. But we're going to keep
11:15
Speaker 2: our routine the routine, and you know, I believe that
11:18
Speaker 2: that's going to lead to consistency.
11:20
Speaker 1: And the last one from Ryan Day, Who's asked about
11:23
Speaker 1: the atmosphere around that game. There was a lot of
11:25
Speaker 1: cool stuff going on around Wrigley Field on Saturday. One
11:28
Speaker 1: thing that was not going on was the color of
11:30
Speaker 1: purple that was really almost non existent outside of one
11:34
Speaker 1: student section in right field, and then some small pockets
11:37
Speaker 1: of fan bases of Northwestern fans here and there. It
11:41
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a road game, it was an
11:43
Speaker 1: Ohio State home game. Ninety percent, I would say comfortably
11:46
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the fans inside Wrigular Field were in
11:49
Speaker 1: scarlett and gray.
11:50
Speaker 3: What was that like?
11:51
Speaker 1: For Ryan Day and the Buckeyes.
11:53
Speaker 2: We expected to have a great presence, but to see
11:56
Speaker 2: the way it was today was exciting. We kind of
11:58
Speaker 2: felt that as we as the bus were kind of
12:01
Speaker 2: going around the stadium and you're driving through Wrigleyville and
12:03
Speaker 2: you just see all this, you know, all this red
12:05
Speaker 2: and scarlet, and I mean that people were fired up
12:07
Speaker 2: early on.
12:08
Speaker 3: You could tell they were.
12:09
Speaker 2: They were just coming out of the bars after opening
12:11
Speaker 2: at like seven am, and people were fired up, and
12:13
Speaker 2: so it kind of got us fired up too. But
12:15
Speaker 2: we said early on we wanted to give them something
12:18
Speaker 2: I get fired up about. But they were loud, even
12:21
Speaker 2: on third down. So great to see Buckeye Nation, you know,
12:24
Speaker 2: traveling like this. And I even looked up and saw
12:26
Speaker 2: the stands from across the street, just saw like red
12:29
Speaker 2: up there, and I'm just thinking, like, just we just
12:31
Speaker 2: really appreciate, you know, them supporting us and in an
12:35
Speaker 2: environment like this, but a great venue to play something
12:38
Speaker 2: like this, in historic stadium like Wrigley and and glad
12:41
Speaker 2: to see them enjoy an afternoon here in Chicago.
12:44
Speaker 3: Great coach, Thank you very much.
12:45
Speaker 1: Thanks. Right now, we're going to give you a couple
12:47
Speaker 1: of quick ones from Carnell Tate mentioned earlier to touchdowns
12:51
Speaker 1: in his first home game into the city of Chicago
12:55
Speaker 1: since his freshman year of high school. What were his
12:57
Speaker 1: emotions during the course of the week. How do you
12:59
Speaker 1: men something like that.
13:01
Speaker 4: A lot of high emotion and stuff like that, but
13:03
Speaker 4: I had to manage it. It means a lot to
13:05
Speaker 4: be playing back in my city, especially my first time
13:07
Speaker 4: to being back since my freshman year of high school.
13:08
Speaker 4: Especially being able to play from all my family and friends, you.
13:12
Speaker 1: Know, like Carl al Tait. Now, just give you a
13:13
Speaker 1: little bit of a walk through those two touchdown plays.
13:16
Speaker 1: What went into those two scores.
13:18
Speaker 4: I know, I pretty much nine the ball was coming
13:20
Speaker 4: my way on the first stares down. I had to
13:21
Speaker 4: go out there and make a player will put the
13:22
Speaker 4: ball out there for him to go get. And then
13:24
Speaker 4: the second touchdown, the ball really supposed to go for
13:26
Speaker 4: a Mecca, but the ball somehow came to me against
13:29
Speaker 4: When the ball in your hands, got to make the
13:30
Speaker 4: best of the opportunity.
13:31
Speaker 1: And we're going to wrap up now with a couple
13:32
Speaker 1: of quick ones from Will Howard. Will Howard has done
13:36
Speaker 1: exactly what Ohio State needed him to do this year.
13:38
Speaker 1: He has not been lighting up putting up pinball numbers
13:41
Speaker 1: like Dwayne Haskins did. He's probably not going to win
13:45
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. That's fine, That's not really what they
13:48
Speaker 1: need form Will Howard. They need. What they need is
13:50
Speaker 1: kind of what exactly what they're getting. Is he looking
13:53
Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like he feels comfortable out there?
13:54
Speaker 1: Is he feeling comfortable out there?
13:56
Speaker 5: I felt really good, I think, you know, I don't.
13:58
Speaker 5: I have no idea what the stats were. I'm not
14:00
Speaker 5: really worried about it. You know, completion percentage is maybe
14:03
Speaker 5: the only one I care about. I don't know if
14:05
Speaker 5: it was I had to throw a couple of balls
14:07
Speaker 5: away today, but I think those were good decisions, you know,
14:10
Speaker 5: just throwing the ball away sometimes. You know, they showed
14:12
Speaker 5: some new stuff and they'd come off bye week. You know,
14:14
Speaker 5: credit to them. I think they schemed up. They did
14:16
Speaker 5: some good things, did some things that we hadn't seen.
14:18
Speaker 5: But you know, I think I did a pretty good
14:20
Speaker 5: job being able to take my checkdowns when I needed
14:22
Speaker 5: to and not forcing things and just kind of letting
14:26
Speaker 5: the game.
14:26
Speaker 3: Come to me.
14:26
Speaker 5: And when I'm able to do that, you know, good
14:28
Speaker 5: things happen.
14:29
Speaker 3: And then and then.
14:30
Speaker 5: Obviously, you know, the shots come and you just are
14:32
Speaker 5: able to take those. And you know, I think I
14:35
Speaker 5: think it was a good, good day. Obviously you have
14:36
Speaker 5: to go back and watch the film, but I feel
14:38
Speaker 5: good walking off the field. And obviously playing here was awesome.
14:41
Speaker 5: It was a really fun experience.
14:43
Speaker 1: And you hear the Buck guys and here will Howard
14:45
Speaker 1: talk a bunch about winning the middle eight. The middle light,
14:47
Speaker 1: of course, the last four minutes of the first half,
14:50
Speaker 1: the first four minutes of the second half. If you
14:52
Speaker 1: can sandwich together a couple of scores during that period,
14:55
Speaker 1: that's a good chance to really swing the momentum of
14:58
Speaker 1: the game. And the Buck guys definitely did on Saturday.
15:01
Speaker 1: They scored twenty one points in the middle eight minutes
15:03
Speaker 1: and thirty seconds of the game.
15:06
Speaker 3: How big was that It changed the game?
15:09
Speaker 5: And today we really want it in that end of
15:11
Speaker 5: the second quarter beginning in the third quarter, that was
15:13
Speaker 5: kind of when we won the game. I think, you know,
15:15
Speaker 5: I think we had some opportunities to really, you know,
15:17
Speaker 5: put the game truly. I mean it was out of reach,
15:20
Speaker 5: but put the game like, you know, really step on
15:21
Speaker 5: their throats a little bit in the fourth you know,
15:24
Speaker 5: maybe if a couple throws, I want back. But overall,
15:26
Speaker 5: you know, I think we did a really good job
15:28
Speaker 5: of that middle eight and that kind of put the
15:29
Speaker 5: game out of reach for him.
15:31
