Buckeyes vs. Penn State Preview: What's The Plan For Ohio State's Offensive Line? · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome to buck Eyes tomorrow morning for Saturday, November second.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I'm your host, tom Or.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The Penn State game is today, the game against Michigan
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: in twenty eight days. We are here at Beaver Stadium,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: home of the Penn State Antyllions and also the site
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of a Titanic struggle coming up later today noon kickoff
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: on Fox number three Penn State, number four, Ohio State.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: This is a game that is going to be a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: feels kind of season defining in a way, at least
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: right now. We'll see you know, there will be more
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: seniors heasing defining games, certainly for Ohio State. This is
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: one for Penn State that feels like this is going
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to go a long way towards determining if this is
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: another very good but not great Penn State season or
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: potentially a very different and potentially much better Penn State
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: kind of season.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Season defining, career defining is a little bit that is
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: that too far? Maybe, But you don't want to lose
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: this one. Both teams they've got the opportunity, they know
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: they have the opportunity to get the win. Somebody is
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: going to leave this game upset, angry, disillusioned, and very
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: very doubted afterwards.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And I think the team that wins this game is
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: this is a lot I think like the Oregon Ohio
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: State game a couple weeks ago, where the team that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: wins this game in the twelve team playoff era to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: have a win over another top five opponent, especially in
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Ohio State's case, a road win.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Over a top five opponent.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: That feels like that's going to be something that functionally
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the winner of this game is probably basically in the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: college football Playoff.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: It would take an upset to get knocked out at
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: So you get the win. And Penn State.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Their schedule is snacky cake.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very much so, so they can go ahead and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: make their reservations if they haven't already. If they win
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: this from Ohio State, you still have the Indiana game,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: but you'll be favored in that. You'll be expected to win,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: will you. We'll see. But this is the first big
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: step to Indianapolis. As they say all roads to Indianapolis
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: go through State College.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: They will say that this week at least the winner
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of this game not only has a likely ticket punch
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to the college football Playoff, they are certainly one of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the front runners to be playing in Indianapolis alongside the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Oregon Ducks, so a lot.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: On the line in this game.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of injury questions, and I feel like
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: we've sort of started to get some of the answers
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to those. Friday, there was reporting that Drew Aller we
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: had sort of seen video of him kind of running
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: around on the practice field earlier in the week, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: it was like, Yeah, it looks a lot like a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: guy who's going to play. And then there was reporting
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: on Friday from on three and other sources that Drew
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Aller does look like he's gonna play. I wonder how
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that impacts what Ohio State's game plan is going into
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: this game, because it feels like if you have to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: deal with Drew Aller and Bo Pribula, that might complicate
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: things a little bit.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and if Drew Aler was going to be if
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: he was never hurt, they were still going to have
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to prepare for both quarterbacks because that's what Penn State
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: does with Drew Rowler. I think one of the questions is, Okay,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: he's good enough to play, but what is is that
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: eighty five percent? Is that ninety five percent? What kind
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: of attack do they come after and with knowing that
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: he's not entirely healthy because they know he's not healthy,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: they know he's healthy enough to play, Yeah, but he
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: might have some issues where maybe does does that make
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Ohio State more aggressive in defending him or does it
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: make it more passive because they just want to see
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: what he can do before you know, they find out
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: for sure. So I think the questions that Ohio State
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: has they've had for a while in terms of how
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: do we defend both what's the best course of action?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I think one of the bigger questions is bo Prabula.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: For Beulah being able to throw the ball last week
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: more than he's ever done and throw it successfully against Wisconsin,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: that might change some minds on what they need to
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: expect when he's in the game because he's the running guy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: But he threw the ball pretty well last week.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And if he is a multi dimensional threat, as
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you saw last week in Wisconsin, he was something like
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: eleven for thirteen in that game. If he's a multi
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: dimensional threat, then the question is Durreller multi dimensional threat?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Because Aler is traditionally very much a pocket passer. Last
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: week against Wisconsin, before he got hurt. He had a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: couple scrambles, so it was not you know, this is
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: not ripping off eighty yards Khalil Tate style by any means.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But it was five yards eight yards enough to turn
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a first and ten into a second and two, which
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: is a big deal in a game that could be
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: as tight as this one. You wonder how much the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: knee injury that he suffered last week might impact his
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: ability to that. If he goes back to being more
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: one dimensional, bot Pribuela may be more of a threat
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: than drawlers.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: We will see.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: On the Ohio State side of things, the injury questions
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: are on the offensive line. Ryan Day said on Wednesday
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that zen Maholski was trending towards not being able to play.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: We'll have the official availability report on Saturday morning for
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you should be able to drop that about nine am.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But assuming to take Ryan Day at his word, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I certainly looked at zen Mahowski coming off the field
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on the cart at the end of last week's game
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and thought he's not playing im Penn State. So it's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: probably safe to take Ryan Day at his word on this.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of different configurations to the offensive line
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that they could go with.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: What are you expecting on Saturday?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I think in a place like this, you want
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: to go with your most experienced offensive line. And if
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: that's the case, then you're talking Donovan Jackson at left tackle.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And Ryan Day wasn't was not interested in giving out
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: any of the plans. He said, well, we'll show everybody
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: on Saturday. But you've got guys who have started. Donovan Jackson.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Throw him at left tackle, last year's starting center, Carson
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Hinsman twelve career starts. Perhaps he's at left guard for you,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: and then you've got your regular starter at center, You've
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: got your regular starter right guard, you've got your regular
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: starter at right tackle, all kinds of experience for guys
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: who have been in big games and played and been
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: in hostile environments experienced. I think when you talk about
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Carson Hinsman, a guy that has played center, so he
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: has to be able to handle he has to be
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: intelligent enough and athletic enough to handle that position, which
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: means you can also do it pretty much thing on
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the interior. So I'm interested to see if that's the
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: way they go. But we've seen Austin Siraveld play splitting
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: time at left guard. We saw my right guard. We
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: saw Luke Montgomery come in to be that backup left
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: guard when Donovan Jackson kicked out two left tackles.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: So they've got options.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: What they need is their best option, and for me,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: that's the most experienced option.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I look at a situation like this. It is
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: not a primetime game, but it is going to be
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a loud and very hostile environment. We were here two
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: years ago and it was a noon game, but it
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: gets loud in there. It's not a white out, but boy,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of people being very loud and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: shaking white pomp poms, So you would be forgiven for
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: thinking it looks a lot like a white out and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: sounds a lot like a white out. So yeah, I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: think I'm with you. When you look at how college
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: football coaches approach things, it is generally reduced the variance
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: as much as you can what is the surest way
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to get a at least passable solid performance, And if
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you can avoid having someone making their third or first
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: college you know, collegiate start, and you have a veteran
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: option there who started twelve games last season. Boy, it
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: feels a lot to me like, that's what you might
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: think about doing.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Especially after watching Zendehowski in his first career start last week,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and you saw, you saw two weeks of practice where
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: you felt like he was your best option, and then
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: the game is real and it looks a lot different
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: than apparently what it looked like in practice.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Ran Day also this week, talked about the three factors
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that were maybe going to be determining the outcome of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: One of them is the run game. Who can run
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the ball better?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And Ohio State has Philly struggle to run the ball
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. It's obviously going to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: be a different offensive line. We will be a better
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: offensive line. We'll see it'll be a different offensive line.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And that's you know, I think there were a lot
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of people asking for it. You know, I saw a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: lot of it. It can't possibly get any worse kind of thoughts,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: which is almost never true.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: It get tony, it can always get worse.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: But with the Ohio State offensive line, with the Ohio
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: State running backs who were not able to hit a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: bunch of big ones last week, where even the week before,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: how well do you expect Ohio State to be able
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to run the ball against Penn State because the Penn
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: State defensive line.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Is pretty solid.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: We'll see Deny Dennis su Sutton is still up in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the air his status. I have thought all week much
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: more likely at Alur plays than Dennis Sutton plays. But
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: we'll see that could be an impact in terms of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the pass rush and pass pro for Ohio State. How
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: are you expecting Ohio State to be able to hold
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: up again in the run game?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: You know, reports the last couple of days in practice
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: have been good in terms of the offensive line and
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: the ability to run the ball.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: I still want to see it.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not expecting you know, am I expecting one hundred
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: yards rushing. I don't think I am, Which is it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: dangerous territory on the road against a good defense, an
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: offense that can do some things. But also I don't
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: expect a lot of running from either team. So you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: this one's going to be close enough where I don't
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: know that the winner of the running battle is what
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: decides this. I think it's the winner of the other
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: battles that will decide it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The other battles that Brian Day singled out were the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: turnover battle and the explosive plays. Battle you could see
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Ohio State running for eighty yards, but they hit three
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: big ones in the past game. I mean, that's basically
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: what they did last week against Nebraska was a couple
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of long ones in the past game, and that got
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: them most of the way towards winning the game. And
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: they certainly have the explosive plays and the talent to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: make the explosive plays. And you look at Penn State,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and Penn State's secondary is good, but it's not necessarily
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: quite up to the standard of some of the recent secondaries.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I know Ryan Day wants.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: To run the ball, but it feels like there's a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: real possibility that if they can throw and they can
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: hit enough of those explosives, that might make a whole
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: lot of other stuff not matter.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we saw it last week with two
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: receptions for one hundred yards, two pass plays for one
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: hundred yards, Like that's as good as running the ball
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: for one hundred.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yards to theme just so you know, the yards count
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: the same and.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: The points count the same as well. So if you
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: can get some of those chunk yardage plays that that
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: eliminates the need you have been able to run efficiently
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: for those forty yards and so you know, but also
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: you don't have to get explosive plays just through the air.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: They did not have any explosive plays really in the
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: ground game last week.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: They did against Oregon.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: We know the potential is always there with both Trevion
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Henderson and Quinchawn Judkins.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: So I don't think that's out of the.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Rebel possibility that one of those guys also hits one,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: because they're always capable of doing so well.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And the last time Ohio State was here, they were
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: down in the fourth quarter and it was it was
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: like a oh boy, this is a season defining drive,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and Travon Henderson ripped off a long run and boom,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: game over. You can get bottle up for most of
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the day, and you hit one big one on the ground,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and you had a couple through the air, and you
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: got your into the twenties. And this feels to me
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: like a game that if you're in the twenties, you
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: get a pretty good shot to win this game. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: don't know what the over under is, but it feels
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: it feels to me like one where twenty one points
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: might get you there, twenty eight points probably get you
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: there and thirty five points absolutely gets you there.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty five points and somebody's getting fired the other day,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: head couch, How could this happen? But I don't know
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: what the over under is. I'm probably gonna say like
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: forty two to forty three South, Yeah, forty six and
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: a half. Okay, all right, I went under on mind justly,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I did too. Yeah, but yeah, if you can get
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: to twenty eight, I mean, start the bus. I think,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: unless it's multiple overtimes. I just don't see a thirty
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: one to you know, thirty four to thirty one type
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: of game here.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And I all week was thinking twenty to seventeen someone,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and I think I might have ended up picking twenty
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: one seventeen.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: But I mean it, it.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Just feels a lot like you're right in that You're
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: right in that range where one play the margins in
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: this game are going to be so close.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: It feels like and Ohio State's.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Played a bunch of those games in recent years and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they've come up short in the number of them.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: It feels like a lot.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Of those close games, it's it's a one score game
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: in the final quarter, and your one play one direction
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: or another from someone, you know, the winner of the game
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: swinging on one play.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Ohio State has come up short in a number of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: those at.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Michigan last year, Missouri last year was was certainly sort
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: of in that boat. Oregon this year another one, very
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: very close game. This is one where you don't want
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: to talk about legacy because this is a game that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: if Ohio State wins, then it's just kind of everyone.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Goes on to the next one, you know. But again,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: they beat Indiana and.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Which a sentence we all thought we were going to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: be saying this time of year earlier or earlier in
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the season. It's not a legacy game, but it feels
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like it's a narrative game for both of these coaches
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: because Ryan Day's had some close losses. Ryan Day doesn't
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: lose to bad teams. When he loses, it's close games
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to good teams for the most part. James Franklin when
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: he loses, it's to Ohio State or Michigan, And that's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: kind of it. And so one of these coaches is
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: going to pick up a really big narrative win and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a really big win in terms of their resume for
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the season as well.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the thing like the irony with the narrative
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: thing is that somebody has to win it. Yeah, So
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: it doesn't really change necessarily or or shouldn't alter any
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: kind of narrative, but it will certainly whoever loses this
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: is going to be destroyed for it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: I do think Franklin, James Franklin.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Would be destroyed less because it's just understood that this
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: is kind of what happens here. For Ryan Day to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: lose to a team that he hasn't lost to you before
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: would be very detrimental in terms of that narrative. But
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: then again, as we know, ten and two is probably
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: still going to get you in in which case than anything,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: anything is possible. But it's not going to go well
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: in the land of Ohio State for Ryan Day if
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: they lose this one.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: So what did you end up go picking for your
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: score for?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I went twenty four twenty or twenty four to twenty
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: one Ohio State, And now that I'm saying that out loud,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: it feels a little high. But we'll see, you know,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I there's enough skill players here to do some damage.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And I don't think either defenses look like they are
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: unstoppable or a nonstoppable to.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I went twenty one to seventeen, so I'm glad
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you feel that I'm correct again Ohio State. I entered
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the week thinking I think I'm gonna pick Penn State
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and just kept waiting through the and then you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Leithan Branson being back, that felt like a big you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and he's not officially officially back, but Ryan Day made
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: it sound like he's probably back earlier in the week.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: That feels like that's gonna be an impactful piece. If
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: they can get the offensive line sorted out. That feels
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: like that's gonna be impactful piece. Not having potentially we'll
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: see maybe not having denied Dennis Sutton that could help
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the ohiosted offensive line a little bit. All this stuff
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: is just it's all real, little fine margin stuff. But
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: in the game that's probably gonna come down to one
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: play at the end of the game. Ohio State just
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: feels like it's like just a little bit more talented
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: than Penn State, and it's gonna be a hostile, loud
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: crowd that's gonna work in Penn State's favor.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: It's a noon game, not a night game.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: You know. I always say three points for home field advantage.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I know I've heard people say five six points for
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the white out. Well, if it's five to six points
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in prime time for the white out, maybe it's like
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: four at noon for this stadium, and that might be
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the difference. I mean, it's just you're talking real, real,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: fine margins. But it should be a heck of a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: college football game. I know Ohio State fans were not
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: thrilled by the outcome of the Oregon game, but man,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: that was a good college football game. This should be
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a really good college football game on Saturday as well.
• 15:43
