• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning. For Monday at cover twentieth,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm your host Tom Moore. The Penn State game in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: twelve days, the game against Michigan.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: In forty days.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: If you're planning your next event, make it unforgettable with
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Grateful Griddle, Columbus's favorite food truck, surfing up, Smashberger's score,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: many sandwiches and good vibes. Booker gatoring today at Gratefulgriddle
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: oh dot com. Ohio State back in Columbus following their
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: thirty four to zero win over the Wisconsin Badgers. Now
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: they get a week off. They won't have, of course,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the full week off, but it is a chance for
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: some of the assistant coaches to hit the row, do
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: maybe do a little bit of recruiting, and for the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: team to kind of focus on some of the other
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: stuff they just started. Need to clean up all that
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. We're gonna hear from Ryan Day about
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that and a bunch of other stuff on today's show.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: First off, it'll let him assess the passing game for
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Ohio State and when you complete more than eighty percent
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of your passes and throw for almost four hundred yards
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and four touchdowns, the scoring is going to be probably
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: pretty favorable. But here are Ryan Day's thoughts on the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Ohio State passing game at Wisconsin.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I'll have to go back and watch the film and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: figure out what was good and what what broke down.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: But as you guys could tell, you know, we wanted to.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Come out and you know, throw the ball more in
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: this game and kind of get to try to get
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: a feel for where we really are in the passing
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: game because we.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Know we're gonna need both here down the stretch.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And you know, that's a defense that I think is
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: a very good defense, and you know, you know, they
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: don't always get put in the best situations throughout the season,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: but like I said to our offense, I said, you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: this is a defensive tackles well. They're well coached, does
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: a good job, and you know, I think when we
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: broke down it was because you know, we just we
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: either lost focus or did a next qut all the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: way down the field.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: And a good defense is going to force you to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: work the ball down the field like that. They're not
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: just gonna.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Let you, you know, take long shots. Even when we
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: try to shoot the ball down the field, you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: you could tell that, you know, they're just backing up
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: and but but it's good for them to feel that
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: as well. But now that you know, as we throw
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and catch, we have to be efficiently working the ball
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: on the field. And all it takes is one play
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to be off and you find yourself off schedule. And
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: that was good in the first drive. We came out
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: and found ourselves in a third and long and made
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: a great throw and catch the score. And then you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: it's good to get a turnover early to get the
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: rhythm going. But we'll look and see, you know, how
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: the run game, to me looking at it, we left,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you know, some some meat on the ball in the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: run game for sure, But to see us throw the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: ball we did, it was a big step in the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: right direction. And I thought Julian made some really good
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: decisions in the RPO game. I thought he checked the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: ball down for the most part we needed to. And
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: then his off schedule plays were excellent. To me, I
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: found his checkdowns at times, but the scramble plays like
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the one to Brandon was really well done.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And found a few other ones as well. We talk
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: about this all the time.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: At the beginning of the season, but the Week one
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: team that you see is never the same team that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you see at the end of the season. There's a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff that will change over the course of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the year. Sometimes it's guys getting hurt. Sometimes it's guys
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: taking on bigger roles. One of the guys who is
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: maybe taking on a bigger role right now is Isaiah West.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: True freshman running back Bo Jackson didn't get any carries
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in the first game against Texas, neither did West, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: now Jackson is pretty clearly running back number one for
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the Buckeyes and Isaiah West Easter seems like he's making
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a run at maybe being running.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Back number two.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So is Isaiah West really on the cusp of taking
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: on a much bigger role for this year's team?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I got to watch the runs on
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the coaches copy, but on the iPad on the sideline.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Two runs. I thought, we're good.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: One for seven and I forget what the other one
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: was for, but hit him good. I just kind of
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: like the way and then those two guys in the
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: hole that he made miss so good. Good sign for
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: a young back. So we'll kind of see what it
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: looks like and seehere we're going from here it was fourteen. Yeah,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean those are good runs, you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: And so you know, we're gonna look at everything and
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: do everything we can to make sure that we do
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: work and we're balanced.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: In a game where it was pretty clear from the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: jump that Ohio State was a far more talented team
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: than Wisconsin and was going to be able to win
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the game by more or less whatever score they wanted to.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You have a lot of options, and one of those
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: things is you have a chance to maybe spread the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: ball around get some other guys involved. So you saw
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of different guys carrying the football, You saw
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of different guys getting the ball.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Thrown their way.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So is that just trying to get guys some stats
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: or is there something else behind it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I think we're still growing so where we're still trying
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: to build on all of this. But what we can
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: do is what you just said, And that's hard to
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: do sometimes because these guys work hard and we try
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: to do what we can to make sure that guys
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: get touches.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: But when you start.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: To focus on those things, you can find yourself way
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: out of whack.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not sit here and saying that sometimes we don't
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: We're guilty of that sometimes because you know, we love
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: our guys, we want to do that, but we have
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: to say disciplined and that's what goes back to being
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: unselfish and that's it. You know, guys have to you know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: understand and the number one goal is to win the game.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: But we're going to do everything we can to make
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: sure you guys get touches the best who possibly can,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: staying within the system and not putting our offense at
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: risk of you know, sputtering on a drive and not
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: scoring a touchdown.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: That Wisconsin game is one that is probably not going
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to be one that people are talking about twenty years
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: from now, but if they are, the play they're going
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to be talking about is that first touchdown pass to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Carnel Tait, the one where he got his helmet ripped off.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Quite a remarkable play and quite a remarkable story.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Behind that play. Here's Ryan Day explaining that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Brandon was out, so that was actually going to be
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Brandon in the slot, but because Brandon was out, we
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: moved Quincy over into the boundary. We moved Carnell at
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the slot, which he had not run that play in
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: practice one time. He actually ran that play against Purdue
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: as a freshman and got a big play on the middle.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: And what it was was we were running down the field
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: against the coverage where we called to Tampa or tricky
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: and he stuttered on the tricky player, so it was
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: a stutter on him and then went by him. And
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: then Julian got pushed off his mark and had to slide,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: so he's a little late getting it to him, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: so he threw a good ball, but it was a
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: little bit late, and so Carnell had to come back
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: and make a contested catch over the defender's head, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I just thought that was a really great catch. Just
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: that's an All American catch and so for him to
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: make a play like that early in the games at
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the tone, but yeah, I mean, those are the things
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you know, when you're trying to get it down the field.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: You got to find double moves, you got to try
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: in as many ways as you can to push it
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: down the field. But yeah, big time throw and catch.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Talked earlier about Julian Sayan's passing stats, and it is
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: pretty hard to match those. The last quarterback to put
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: up numbers better than that any game. DJ Stroud that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: is not bad company if.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You were an Ohio State quarterback.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So has Ryan Day been impressed with how Julian Sayan
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: has developed over the course of the season.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I'm impressed with his preparation.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Am I sit in those meetings with Billy and you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: he and Lincoln and I just the amount of information
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: that that you know he's processing and those guys go
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: through in those meetings as well done. And when you
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: see it translate on the field, that's winning football.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: And so when you just can take a meeting to
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: the field as quickly as he can and then see
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: it and then process it, you know, is he perfect?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: No, there's things he's going to work to get better at,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: but then he's got a bright futurehead of him.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Carnell Tate had six catches for more than one hundred
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: yards and a couple of touchdowns. Jeremiah Smith nine catches
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: ninety seven yards against Wisconsin. Solid day for both guys. Recently,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day called Jeremi Smith the best player in America.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So how close is Carneal Tate to that conversation?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Right right, Austin, Ryan, You've talked a lot in the
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: last couple of weeks off Jeremiah and maybe give the
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: best player in America in your opinion, How close is
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Carnal in that conversation. Yeah, you know, his play speaks
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: for itself. And I mean the catch he made early
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: on is tremendous. You see some of those catches he
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: makes is on the sidelines. He's a great blocker. You know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: he is playing himself to be you know again, you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: first rounder and All American and you know, I mean
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: he's he's just a different style of player than Jeremiah, but.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Just as dangerous and just as good.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And you know, to see somebody who you know has
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: put the work in and you know, again you've heard
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: me say before, put the dirty work in. And now
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: he's you know, seeing a lot of the balls come
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: his way, and he's seeing a lot of play, you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: throwing catch on the back, shoulder.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Fade and all those things are working for him.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: And it's great to see him, you know, have success,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: you know, with with the numbers he's getting now, because
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: this is a guy that sacrificed a lot in the
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: past a little bit last year, you know, it had
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: to you know, put the work in and then maybe
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: not see the numbers and see the results, but had
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: faith in the program and stuck in there and believe
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: in the culture, and now you're seeing a payoff for
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: room and that's that's a great sign for everybody on
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: the team, you know, including the young players.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And but are all positions.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Mentioned earlier that the Buck guys do have a week
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: off this week, They have next Saturday off, second off
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: week of the season. So what are they going to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: be working on this week? What are some things that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: they're looking to improve.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: During the week off.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Some of the run game, you know, needs to be better,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I think, but we'll go back and figure out what's
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: going on with that.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: You know, we have the special teams breakdown, which we
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: can't have happened, and that can cast you a game.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, that was that was ridiculous.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: So you know, there are certainly areas that I won't
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: get into because you I don't.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Want to give anybody, anybody any anything to look at.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: But you know, we we know what our issues are
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: and we have to continually work on them to get
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: them better and then continually put guys in position to
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: be successful because sometimes it isn't always the issues as
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: it is. Right, here's the strength of somebody, how do
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: we put them in a position to go do that,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: and and all three phases. So that's our job as coaches.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: By the way, he comes at a good time. We
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: can kind of get healthy here. We know we got
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: a big one at Penn State at home, so we'll
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: take a couple of days to catch our breath.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: And then get back after it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: The last question for Ryan Day was about Julian Sand's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: performance throwing the ball, and you were going to hear
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the answer to that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: But also he's.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Also going to just a couple couple of minutes in
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: or so give everyone a little editorial note about something
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: else we should probably be talking.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You know, we kept calling him so you know he
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: was doing well.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: You know, I think he's accurate, he makes good decisions,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: and you know when he stays on schedule, you know,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: we can move the ball right down in the field.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: And now I'm be shocked if he didn't great out
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: a champion. To me, I thought he played it really
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: well in this game. But I will say we've been
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: here for fifteen minutes. I really haven't talked about about
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: the defense who just shut the.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Team out over there. So let's talk about the defense
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: real quick. First off, to get the.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Turnover early in the game was tremendous, and you know,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: we knew that they wanted to, you know, we've seen
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: them against some really good defense to just you know,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: run the ball, and we knew we had to stop
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: the running this game, and so we had, you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: put a lot of time into that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: The defensive staff and our guys.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: And then to get the turnover early was good on
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: the road because we want to be consistent.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: We see what.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Happens across the again college football weekend and week out,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: so we can't have letdowns. So when the defense is
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: playing like that and creating turnovers in a short field,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: that that helps us get a fast start. And so
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: we just kept playing and that was great. But one
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: of my favorite parts of the game was the way
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: that we ended. And that's you know, when guys are
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: on the sideline and they want to you know, hold
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the shutout, and you know, some of the deaf guys
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: are in there and everyone's screaming and yelling because it
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: isn't about the score, it's not about the results, about
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: the process, and.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: And that's it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: And the guys are playing for each other and that's
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: another good sign. So that's off of the defense again.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Another another shutout is I hope nobody's getting used to
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: that because, like you know that that doesn't just happen.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: You know, this is a lot of hard work he
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: gets put in. And they'll give the defense a ton
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: of credit, give the staff a bunch of credit.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Obviously, are our guys on defense play their.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Tails off all right? Probably fair play to Ryan Day there.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Probably worth mentioning the defense a little bit in those
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: press conferences, what with them throwing a shutout and all that.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: So also, the Buckeye defense has given up the fewest
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: points through their first seven games since the nineteen ninety
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: three Florida State Seminoles. That's pretty darn good, going back
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: more than thirty years to a defense that did win
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the national championship in nineteen ninety three. So definitely definitely
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: worth talking about that defense more. And we'll be doing
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that this week at bucke huddle dot com, Trying to
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: have Ross Fulton Mom to do the breakdowns of the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Ohio State Wisconsin game. Maybe do a little bit of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a look ahead at some point this week or next week,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: do that Ohio State penn State game as well, and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: now have plenty more coverage coming for you all week
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: long at bucke huddle dot com and at YouTube dot
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: com slash bucke Huddle.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: We hope to see you there. That'll do for today.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys all for joining us.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Have a great day. We'll talk to you tomorrow
