  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning for Monday, November tenth, I'm
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: your host, tom or the UCLA game in five days,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the game against Michigan in nineteen days. If you're planning
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: your next event, make it unforgettable with Grateful Griddle, Columbus's
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: favorite food truck serving up smashburger scoremet sandwiches and good
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: vibes Booker catering today at Gratefulgriddle oh dot com. Taking
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a look back real quickly at
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the Ohio State buckeyes thirty four to ten win over
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the Purdue boiler Makers on Saturday in West Lafayette. Not
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the most scintillating game in the history of Ohio State football.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: But I think a lot of stuff went into that one.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Is that Ohios Date kind of knew, okay, an opportunity
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to play a bunch of different guys. You'll hear a
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: little bit about that later on in the show. It
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: was also they were missing a couple of key pieces
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: on offense. Carnel Tate didn't play, Philip Daniels didn't play
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day. You're going on this show, you're gonna hear
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a bunch of Ryan Day in his postgame comments, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: he was asked about those two guys, Carnel Tate Philip Daniels,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: why did they end up not playing?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, both guys really wanted to play, and you know,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we got to the game and you know, Phil was
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: somebody that you know, we weren't sure how it was
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: gonna go.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: It was questionable.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Coming in Carnell, it felt like he was he was
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: gonna be okay to play, but when he went through
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: warm ups, you know, he just you know, he felt
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: something there and so we just wanted to be really careful.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: You could he have played, yeah, probably, but you know
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: we're gonna just arrest them and make sure, which gave
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: us an opportunity to you know, get some other guys
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: in the game, which which was great, and that was
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: kind of the idea, watch some guys step up.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: So it was great to see Ian Moore play.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he grated out, but when you
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: don't notice somebody, that's a good sign. And then it
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: was good to see you know, you know, Max had
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: five catches, Brandon had three catches, Bryson Rodgers had two catches,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: and then it was good to see Mylin come back
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: with a catch. In the second half as well. So well,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna need all these guys, and it
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: gave us an opportunity to get some guys in the game,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: but you know, we hopefully get them healed up and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: ready for next week.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: In addition to Philip Daniels, the offensive line was also
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: missing Josh Padilla. He didn't even make the trip, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we'll give you a whole update in his situation a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: little later on the show as well. But it just
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: sort of Brian Day's evaluation of how the offensive line
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: played without Josh Badia, without Philip Daniels, and rotating in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different guys.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, overall, you know, we'll have to see what the
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: grades are.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But you know, we wanted to run the ball, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in order to get their run game going, you got
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to give it a chance to get going. You know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: in this game, we ran the ball forty three times
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: for one hundred and seventy yards.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I think it was efficient, man, that was for the
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: most part. It was efficient.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It wasn't great, but but there were some good hits
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: on there. You know, bo the gaverage five point four
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: ISAA six point seven. James was three to two, so
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: then we'll get on the film and continue to.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Work through that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I thought if the protection was solid for the most part,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I think there was a couple that, you know, we
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: didn't do well. But I think, again I've said this before,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I think Barry he does a good job, and I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: think they do a good job on defense. They do
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: a good job across the board. But just you know
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: what they do and the kids play hard, and so
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: you know, they had a good plan coming in and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you know, it took a little while to look at
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the run game going, but you know, the third down
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: conversions were big. We were nine of thirteen on the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: third downs and that kept the drives going and kind
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: of controlled the you know, the game that way. But
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know, the disappointing, disappointing part was, you know, the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: long drive there. I think it was seventeen plays and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: we threw an interception there in the end zone and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: then came back at a drive and only had three points.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So yet you know, he had a lot of plays,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: there were only three points and that's that's not ideal.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: But other than that, you know, I thought there was
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: a lot of good play. Again, is it is it
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: they all get agree on a champion. Probably not. So
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: we'll get on and get back on a film and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: we keep working to get better.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: One area where I think Ohio State was relatively happy
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: was with the play of running back Bo Jackson. He
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: had been a little banged up in recent weeks. He
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: was fourteen carries, seventy five yards more than five yards
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: per carry. That's a very solid day. He also had
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a long touchdown on the very first drive of the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: game called back on a penalty. So was he happy?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Was Ryan Day happy with what he saw from Bo Jackson?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's been an emphasis point, as you guys know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: we've talked about that. I think the short yardage where
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: there was a free guy in the hole and he
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: brought his own blocker. I mean that kind of reminded
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: me a quinch on last year. You know that that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: was a good step for him in the right direction. So,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: you know, I thought we got better today because I
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: thought they had more opportunities to run.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: These are young backs that we got to continue to
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: give them the opportunity to grow. And I think we'll
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: get on a film and get better from this game.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: It is probably safe to say Ohio State did not
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: exactly have the pedal to the medal. For the entire
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: sixty minutes of this game, probably could have beaten Purdue
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: by a lot more than twenty four points if they
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: had really wanted to. But Brian Day has really taken
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a long term vision approach to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: this season. They've limited the number of snaps they're taking
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in every game, just sort of slowing down the tempo
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: just to sort of give themselves just fewer reps during
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the season and keep guys a little fresher and healthier
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: for the end of the year. Did the Buck guys
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: also sort of approach this game on Saturday It is
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: just a sort of a chance to just work on
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: things more than anything else.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: No, No, I mean, what we try to do is
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: we try to, you know, figure out how we're going
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to attack each game, but we're trying.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: To get done.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: You could see that the emphasis in this game was
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to try to get these backs and carries and establish
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the run and continue to work on that.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: And you know, when Carnell was unavailable, you know that
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: that certainly changed things quickly on you know, some of
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: the things that we had.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: But but it was still I mean, for jeremied I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: still have the impact he did. Not having Carnell on
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the other side of the ball, it just speaks volumes
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to what he does and just how impactful you got.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, it goes without saying, but you know you
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: don't have Carnell out there, it is a little different
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and so that does change things a little bit.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: But good to see Max Gett. You know, get some
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: players brand and have an impact on the game, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: then the running backs gotta do their deal.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: So you know, we're we always want to score as
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: many points as we can, but we also need to
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: continue to get improved in certain areas and that was
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: certainly an emphasis point in this game.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: One area where Ohio State fans and probably with the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: coaching staff to a certain degree, was not real thrilled
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: with set things On Saturday with the play at right
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: guard again, you saw some chase, some opportunity plays where
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: tager Shabola was sort of chasing a guy into the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: backfield when that guy was chasing after Julian saying, so
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: what did Ryan da see out of the play from
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: tager Shabola as well as from a couple of other
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: guys who got reps there Gabe Sickle ONEONWA and then
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it finally is Josh Padilla's injury. Is that a long
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: term issue?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: We don't think it'll be long term. We're hoping to
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: get him back next week.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: He didn't make the trip, so that was one that
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: we knew he'd be out, and so we'll continue to
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: look at it next week.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: But if he's not back next week, he should be
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: back in two weeks.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You know. It's kind of one of those things. We're
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: going to continue to look at it. I do I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: agree with you because I watched it and saw it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Then there were some other things that were good, but
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you know, we know we need a great out, a
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: champion here, and you know that's for everybody. So that's
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: what the expectation is, and we'll continue to look at it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know how many snaps Gabe got
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: in there today, but or Ethan, but we're going to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: keep swaying at this thing and make sure that in
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the end, you know, with the best guys on the field.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Right They also got a question specifically about Gabe Van Siegel,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: who got a bunch of reps there at Right Guard.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: He was someone who they had identified earlier in the week.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Is definitely the guy who was number the fourth guard
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: for this team, behind the two starters Look Montgomery and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Tagers Shabola and Josh Badilla, who obviously is sort of
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: part of that top six, but he didn't play, so
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that meant when they wanted to rotate someone in, Van
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Sickle was the guy. So Dave was asked about the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: about Van Siggle's play what he saw from him, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the answer kind of touches on a bunch of different
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: young guys who got a chance to play in this game.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Well, he's got to play. He's going to play, you know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: for a lot of these guys, that's it. Like you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Milon Graham, you know I didn't connect early in the game.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: We got him back. He made that catch and took
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: care of the ball. Like those are the things you
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: got to play through. It's the same thing with the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: running backs and somebody like Gabe who's now and Ian
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Moore who earned the opportunity to practice every day so
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: we know they can do it. But then they got
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to doing the game. Was going to see Jelanie Thurman
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: make some catches late in the game, Like we got
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to play through some of those things, and they're gonna
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: make mistakes early. It's just still kind of how it goes,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and you have to play through those mistakes and if
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you respond the right way, then that's good. We can
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: we can count on you here late in the season
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna need those guys. So so it was
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: good to see some of those guys respond and play
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: through those things. And a lot of football to be played.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: But Gabe in particular, to answer your question, has the
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: first time. He has the size, he has the athleticism,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: he has the intelligence. Maybe he doesn't have the experience,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: but we think he has a pretty high ceiling, so
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you know, we want to continue to give more opportunity
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: that he deserves.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: One other big positive that came out of the game
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: on Saturday for the buck Eyes was Jaden field and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the kicker made a pair of field goals forty nine
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and forty five yards. Both looked very confident right down
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the middle, good long kicks. Someone that the buck Eyes
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: may need in some of these late season, bigger games
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that are coming up. So how big was that to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: see that from Jaden fielding?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Right, So in the first half, we get the turnover,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: we score that was great. And then defense we try
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to win the middle eight defense, you know, does a
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: good job. Get to stop, we call timeouts, you'll get
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the three and out. We get the ball and then
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: move it down the field and kick the field goal.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Like that was That was kind of the really first
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: two minutes drill we had to work in the game,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: which is one of those other things we wanted to
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: make sure that we improve on. And I thought that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: was well done. Guys had pretty good awareness. We were
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: getting out of bounds, Julians. You know that the protection
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: was good, like all that was was was done well.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And then but then put Jade in that spot, like,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: come on, man, we've got to make this field goal.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: He did, he stepped up, protection was good, and then
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: he pounded it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: So that was great for him and it's gonna be
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: important for his confidence to know that we're going to
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: need those as we move forward.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And the final one from Ryan Day, what is this
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: team's identity at this point of the season, Because before
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the year coaches get asked that and it's kind of like, well,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: we got a sort of stay where things stand. There
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: are you three quarters the way through the regular season? Now,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: what is the identity of this year's Buckeye team.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, business like. They're growing up every day. You Like
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I've said before, I think their edgie. They're competitive, they
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: they've bought it the system, they care about each other,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: you know, I think they have an edge to him.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I think that that's probably the biggest thing.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: But business like, you know, they know what they want
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to get done. They have perspective, they've seen it, they
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: know what's supposed to look like.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: And so now we're got to get back to work
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: this week in practice and continue to do it again
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: next week gainst UCLA.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm also gonna let you hear just a little
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: bit from Purdue head coach Barry Odom. This is a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: clip we actually played on the postgame show because I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: thought it was a pretty interesting answer. He's was sort
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of asked about his general thoughts on the game. This
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: is sort of his opening statement almost of his press conference,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna play the portion of it where
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: he's really talking about Ohio State.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: We've got a terrific team.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: They're built the right way in every area, really every level.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: The defense, they're talented, their well coach, they don't make mistakes.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: And that shows up.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: You know, they can be at times.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: You look at defensively, they can be. They can be
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: suffocating and take the.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Air out of anything, you know, when a possible play
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: could be there. They've got talent in every position offensively,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: you know, that's you know, there'd be some people that
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: get upset with the statement.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: But that's what we're chasing, and that is right.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Now in our league. That's they're setting the standards. So
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: every single day working to chase that. And as soon
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: as they're not that, then you know we'll we'll continue
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: to chase. But from recruiting, from development, from calling the
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: game to all those things.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Right now, they.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Are setting the standards. So it's our job to chase
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: that catch up and I give them a lot of
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: credit on how they're built and then how their kids
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: go play.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: All right, that we'll do it for today. We'll have
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: much more coverage all week long, all the shows you've
