• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning for Sunday, December, first time
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: your host tom Or The game against Michigan is in
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty three days. Gotta tell you, I
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: was thinking I was probably going to be saying something
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: about the Big Ten Championship game against Oregon being in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: six days at the start of the show. There's some
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: other stuff that we didn't necessarily see coming. On Saturday
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: inside Ohio Stadium, Michigan comes in a three touchdown underdog
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: shocks Ohio State thirteen to ten.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Joining Kevinnunubuckehadle dot Com.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Kevin, let's start with the good news, and there's really
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: two pieces of good news.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: For Ohio State. One is that the season is not over.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: The twelve team playoff means they are still absolutely in
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a position to compete for and potentially win the national
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: championship this.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Year, not according to fans. Well, and that's you know
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: what reality is is that all you need they say
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: in pokers, you need a chip in a chair. Ohio
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: State has a chip and a chip and it's not
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: like Ohio State would be getting in as the twelve seed.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: The range seems to be between the five and the
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: nine goodbye first you know, first round by that's just
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: not going to be there. You're going to have to
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: play a game before Christmas, so you know that's you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: you got that to look forward to. I mean, under
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the scenario we talked about, most of the odds are
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: that they would play a game at Ohio Stadium. But
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: you know, if things fall weird, they could have to
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: travel and you don't know if that means going to Athens, Georgia,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: or Knoxville, Tennessee or wherever. So well, you know, we'll
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: kind of see from there. But yeah, the sun will
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: come up tomorrow. But I think there are going to
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: be a lot of people with a with a with
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: a major hangover and headache and and yeah, I'm still
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: processing all this. I'm still trying to process what I saw.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And the other good piece of news for Ohio
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: State is, boy, the Ohio State defense which for years
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and years and years everyone can plan, couldn't get a stop,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't get a turnover. Boy, they get killed in the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: second half. They were absolutely dominant for sixty minutes. Really,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I mean they really wore down at the very very end.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: But the ten of Michigan's thirteen points came on drives
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of three yards and.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Two yards and were set up by Ohio State turnovers.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It was the defense did absolutely everything it possibly could,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: short of running an interception back for a touchdown. You know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Caleb Downs had an interception in the red zone and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Ohio State went four plays zero yards and missed a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: field goal, and it was it was a return to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the you know, some of the bad old days of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Jim Trestle. There were a lot of good days for
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Jim Tressel, but there was also you think about those
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: games where it's like, well, as long as Chris Gamble
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: can run this interception back for a touchdown against Penn State,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they can get to thirteen points. And you kind of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: felt like that at times on Saturday, where the offense
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: just was doing nothing for extended periods and the defense,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, the defense absolutely did its part, but there
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: were a lot of other areas where stuff didn't didn't
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: happen the way it should have.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack Sawyer had an interception two and the deep
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: in the red zone and the gold zone and he
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: got a little bit of a return there. And I
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: remember saying to somebody standing next to me, is like
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: he better take that all the way because I don't
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: know if this offense has it today, and obviously it didn't.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: The defense did allow a third down conversion on the
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: first the first series of the game, but didn't allow
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a second one. So I mean, you know, a real
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: you know turnaround from some of the things that we've
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: seen with Ohio State, and it slow starts at least
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: on the defensive side of the ball. But yeah, anybody
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: trying to put this at the feet of the defense,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and there will be that person who's like, well, they
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: had Mollings wrapped up and he squirt it out and
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: took it to the seventeen or whatever that was. And
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you know, at some point, I mean, this defense was
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: out there having to play against a Michigan team that
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: was just slamming Mullings into defenders, and it just you're
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: eventually going to wear down. And it was not like
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Ohio State was necessarily giving the defense a good opportunity
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to recover when you had a lot of really empty
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: possessions from the Ohio State offense.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt like Cola Mullins had really one long
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: run and that was one where it was really the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: only obvious bad mistackle all game long, and it was
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in the game winning field goal drive.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: They had him. It was a third down.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It looked like maybe Ty Hamilton was going to get
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: him in the backfield, and Jack Sawyer was kind of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: close there as well, and he just he managed to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: break free and he's you know, he's a good running back.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: He's you're going to break tackles at some point. The
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: defense played it so well all game that it's hard
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to say, Okay, well there was the one play and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that was the one and it's hard to point at
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that and go, well, it's the defense's fault, because I mean,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you talked about needing a chip in a chair. Ohio
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: State had a chip on Saturday, and he called an
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: offense and there was an awful lot of running the ball,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: extremely unproductive.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Running the ball inside.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: When you came into the game, we talked, you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Tony Gerderman and I did a show on Friday night
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: or Friday afternoon saying here's you know, if something, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: if Michigan's going to win the game, here's what happens.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: The defensive line controls the line of scrimmage. Ohio State's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: gonna have a tough time running the ball inside, They're
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: gonna have to get the ball outside. They may have
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to throw to set up the run. And it was
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: just kind of like, nope, good old rock. Nothing beats rock.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And it was just there was so much running between
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the tackles and it just it never ever, ever worked.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Ohio State has had so much success for the years,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: and I think that maybe there's this belief that if
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: we just keep trying it, it's bound to work. And
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: it did not work period. And Ohio State was coming
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: out and running on first down, some series running on
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: first and second down, and you know, the old run
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: run pass pun joke, and we were starting to see
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: some run run pass punt and Ohio State had opportunities
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: to move the ball down the field. We haven't really
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: talked about Will Howard got, you know, roughed up on
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: a play. You know, was he himself at that point.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I kind of have my feelings that he was, you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: diminished to a certain extent. But running the ball was
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: not working. And Ryan Day comes in and talks about,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: you know, just the symphasis on running the ball, So
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know necessarily what he and Chip Kelly saw
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: and kept them moving forward. On that path because that path,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: you know, there's a there's a Talking Head song called
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: road to Nowhere, and they were on the road to Nowhere.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that turned into the road to second and nine
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and third and seven frequently. And then you can, if
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you're Michigan, tea off on the pass because if it's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: third and seven, you know it's probably going to be throwing.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: The ball, so that sets you up for failure.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And what was particularly strange to me was Ohio State,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: right before halftime, had a two minute drill, nine plays
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: seventy five yards, just throwing the ball up tempo, boom
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: boom boom, boom boom, right down the field. They score
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, and you went into halftime and it's ten ten,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and you thought, well, Ohio State handed Michigan a touchdown
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: early with an interception that you know, set up a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: three yard touchdown drive. And they handed Michigan a field
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: goal on a two yard drive. So they Michigan, Michigan
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: scoring drives ten points totally five yards in the first half,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and it's like, well, all they have to do is they.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Have had this horrible first half.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: All they have to do now is just not do
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: not make the cataclysmic mistakes again and just run a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: little up tempo.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And then you didn't really see.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: That in the second half, which was, you know, we'll
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: get to the special teams and have a special team
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: sort of set up some of the challenges that they had.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: In the second half.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: But it felt like they had something that was working
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and then they never really went back to it to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: see if it would still work.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Second half.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I really wish I could have been a fly on
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the wall for the halftime speech and everything that was
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: going on there, because they never went back to the
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: things that were working, and they went back to the
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: things that weren't working, whether or not again, is it,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: you know, stubbornness, arrogance. I mean, I don't I don't know.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I don't want to, you know, necessarily throw things out there.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: There are you know, a lot of fans that are
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: very mad and want to see significant change, and spoiler alert,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: that's the way that you want to see it. He's
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: not getting tarmaced, he's not getting tarmacked. I don't know
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: what to tell you deal with it. But yeah, they
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: just went back out and they just kept doing the
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: same thing they came out on the first you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: you sit there and you have the special team gaff,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: you have the kickoff, and you started the six and
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: you you know, you're almost forced to run at that point,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: even though you knew what was going to be the
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: result of that second and nine and third and seven.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Whether or not that was the case there or they
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: got even less yardage and that I can't say. I
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: can't remember there, but you wanted to be able to
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: throw the ball. I think that they really had ample
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: opportunity to find Carnell Tait out there, and you know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: they just just couldn't couldn't do it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And one of the things that I think, you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: we talked about the defense, which was great.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: We talked about the offense, which was not.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: The special teams were a whole separate issue. You had
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a couple of missfield goals. That obviously is you know
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in the game that you lost by three points. Two
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: missfield goals, I can do the math for you would
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: have made a difference. But there were also two plays.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: One where it looked like Caleb Downs lost a punch
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: in the sun and it took a huge Michigan role
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and ended up in there.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: It was a big line drive and it just I
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: think it kind of took off on them.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, and it and it skipped down and ended
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: up inside the ten, and so they're starting very deep
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in their own territory. And then the opening kickoff of
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the second half, they've just gone down the field. If
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: they've tied the game, they've got all this momentum, they're
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: going to get the ball. It's just like, okay, they're
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: gonna get the ball, they'll go down the field, they'll
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: score some points. And then Michigan's kind of on their
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: back foot. And then Michigan, which really never threw the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: ball all game and was really struggling to run the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: ball for long stretches of the game, turn the ball
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: over a couple times, and it was like, well, so
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you get up. You get up in Michigan, and then okay,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you sort of sort of settled things down and it's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit ugly, but they'll win. And
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: then Trayvon Henderson, the kickoff guy, and got hung up
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: in the wind and he ended up bouncing in front
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of him and he had to kind of just fall
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: on it. And so then you're starting you get the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: ball instead of starting on the twenty five you're starting
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: on your own six or whatever it was, and so
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: then you're backed up again and then okay, so then
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you're in the same well, you don't want to throw
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the ball down here because you don't want to make
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the big mistakes.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: So then you got to run the ball, and you
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: hint run the ball.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: And so you had a couple possessions that got kind
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: of killed on just wonky special team stuff and in
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a game like this that stuff matters.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: In Ohio State had been coming off of three weeks
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: of really solid special teams plays with lock punts, you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: falling on a muffed punt, you know, a punt return
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: for a touchdown. All these things are starting to go well,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and it's like, well in Ohio State has finally emerged
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: out of the fleming forest and things are going well.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: And it just seems that Ohio State, and you know
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: here in the last four years, if something can go
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: wrong in the Michigan game, it does. And you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I would love to come downstairs to get set up
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: for postgame. At the end of the third quarter, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: even at that point, I was down and I was like,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: as long as Ohio State just continues doing what it's
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: doing defensively. Michigan isn't going to get more than maybe
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: a first down per series, and Ohio State is going
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: to loose one at some point they're gonna They're gonna
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: get loose on something, and something is going to work
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: and Ohio State is going to win a one score
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: game and fans are going to be pissed how ugly
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: it is, but it's going to be a win.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd much rather have that conversation the one we're
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: having right now. But that's where we are.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and that is that is where we are now.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Ohio State has to sit around and wait for a week.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: They have lost all say in where they where they
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: end up in the college football playoff. It's the body
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: of work going up to this point is probably such
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that they should be in the you know, they should
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: be hosting a playoff game. They are now out of
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship game. State Penn State's killing Maryland,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: so Penn State is going to be ahead of Ohio State.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And so now you're not going to go to Indianapolis,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and so you can't win the Big Ten, so you
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: can't be one of the top four seeds. So now
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the question is are you five, Are you six or seven?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Or you eight? Are you nine? Where where do you
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: fall in that packing order.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It's going to be fascinating to see hear what the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: committee says about this team on Tuesday, because that's if
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they're you know, if they fall from two to four,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you're realistically probably not going to fall too much more
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and you're going to be a.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Five or six seed or something like that. If they
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: fall from two to seven.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Five spots has been kind of the standard deviation of
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: what happens with the loss. You follow about five spots
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: and things mattering. People who are watching this this game
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: has already happened at that point, should be cheering for USC,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: getting Notre Dame to move down, don't let Notre Dame
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: move up over you, things like that. All of that, well,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: it would help. It's twenty one all the time that
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: we're recording, so yeah, you know, the magic of television,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: you'll see you'll be seeing this later around the time
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: that I've had dinner.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, there's still a lot on the table.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Fer Ohio State. The National championship is still on the table.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Fer Ol High State, like it or not, and you know,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I think no one in Columbus is liking much of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: anything right now. But like it or not, this is
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the new reality of college football. Is you can lose
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: this game. If your season up till now is good enough,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you can lose this game and you don't get to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: go to Indianapolis, but you do get to the College
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Football Playoff and you do still get a chance to
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: play for the National Championship. And you know, you can
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: call that the NFL location of the you know, of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the sport. And it's very much a new thing for
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: everyone this year because we haven't.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Seen it before. But it is the new reality of
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: college football.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And you know, I know everyone wants to run Ryan
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Day out of town on a rail right now. If
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day they rebound and they go win the national championship.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And I don't see I don't see an unbeatable jargonnaut
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: out there this year. So you know, yeah, Ohio State
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: looked terrible on Saturday. Georgia looked terrible on Friday.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I mean well, and I talked to somebody and when
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: you guys are doing your post game show in the chat,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: and I said, in Columbus, Ohio State beats Georgia by ten,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: and everybody was yelling at me, and I'm like, did
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: you watch Georgia And they're like yes, I'm like, have
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: you sobered up since Georgia? Because that Georgia was terrible.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Georgia had to do everything to come back, including get
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: a couple of calls from the officials and everything else.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: So just because of this, I mean, let's not forget,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Ohio State looked like cheeks against Nebraska, I mean, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: then bounce back, and of course people are gonna still say, well,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: who's why stay played or whatever, but you know who
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: everything is artificially, you know, propped up.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I mean the SEC.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, the SEC is so great. No, We've spent a
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: lot of time saying that it's kind of mediocre in
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: a lot of ways. So it's going to be very interesting,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I think. I think our Tuesday show is going to
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: be highly viewed, and then of course the following Sunday,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I think that's going to be highly viewed as well,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: because you know, when we know what's going on and
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: and and have our opportunity to talk today and the
• 15:31

• 15:44
  Speaker 1: December fourth, that's Wednesday, and then everyone will be sitting

• 16:00
  Speaker 1: happening with Ohio State, whether they're getting a home playoff game,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: a road playoff game, what's going on there, who they're playing. Boy,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it is going to be a fascinating week between the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: recruiting and the season and the start of the twelve
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: team college football playoff era. Not the way Ohio State
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: wanted to finish the regular season certainly, but still everything
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: still on the table for them in terms of the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: national championship. Big Ten Championship obviously not but national championship absolutely.
• 16:27
