Ryan Day Looking For Answers After Another Loss To Michigan · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to buck Eyes tomorrow morning from Monday, December second,
0:03
Speaker 1: I'm your host, tom Or. The game against Michigan is
0:05
Speaker 1: in three hundred and sixty two days. Right now, we're
0:08
Speaker 1: going to be talking about that last game against Michigan
0:11
Speaker 1: on Saturday did not end the way the Buckeyes and
0:14
Speaker 1: their fans were expecting, did not weigh the end the
0:17
Speaker 1: way a lot of folks around the college football world
0:19
Speaker 1: we're expecting. Today we're going to be letting you hear
0:21
Speaker 1: a little bit from Ryan Day. Guessing there were a
0:23
Speaker 1: fair number of Buckeye fans who just kind of turned
0:26
Speaker 1: off the TVs and discussed, didn't bother watching the postgame interviews,
0:29
Speaker 1: didn't bother watching the postgame shows. Don't worry, we were
0:32
Speaker 1: there for all of it. I'm gonna let you hear
0:34
Speaker 1: a little bit from Ryan Day. There were a lot
0:36
Speaker 1: of questions, not quite as many answers as there were questions.
0:40
Speaker 1: Going to let you hear a lot about that all
0:42
Speaker 1: the way through his press conference. Is going to let
0:44
Speaker 1: you at the end here what I thought was maybe
0:46
Speaker 1: the single most impactful SoundBite on the Michigan press conference
0:50
Speaker 1: side as well. If you don't want to hear Michigan. Well,
0:52
Speaker 1: that's the last thing in the show. You'll get to
0:53
Speaker 1: hear a bunch of Ryan Day before we get there.
0:55
Speaker 1: So let's start with one of the big questions of
0:58
Speaker 1: the day. Oh d Right at the end of the
1:00
Speaker 1: first half, they had some success in the two minute drill,
1:03
Speaker 1: kind of moving the ball right down the field, scored
1:05
Speaker 1: their only touchdown of the game. At that moment, it
1:07
Speaker 1: kind of felt like, Okay, they've sort of figured it
1:09
Speaker 1: out now, then they should be able to take things
1:11
Speaker 1: into the second half and seize control. That didn't happen.
1:14
Speaker 1: They were not having a lot of success on the ground,
1:16
Speaker 1: but they kept running the ball. So what was their
1:18
Speaker 1: game what was the game plan coming in here? And
1:21
Speaker 1: was their thought given to maybe changing things up in
1:23
Speaker 1: the middle of the game.
1:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think we struggled the ball to run
1:27
Speaker 2: the ball in this game. We know, we've talked about
1:29
Speaker 2: this many times. We have to run the ball, especially
1:32
Speaker 2: in this game. You know it was a little windy
1:35
Speaker 2: out and you know in order to win the game,
1:38
Speaker 2: you got to be able to run it. We weren't
1:40
Speaker 2: able to do that. They tried a couple different schemes,
1:42
Speaker 2: couldn't quite get into a rhythm on that and that ultimately,
1:46
Speaker 2: along with the turnovers and the missed field goals, where
1:48
Speaker 2: was the difference in the game.
1:50
Speaker 1: There were a lot of things that went wrong for
1:51
Speaker 1: Ohio State on Saturday on special teams. Two missed field goals,
1:56
Speaker 1: two makeable missed field goals, two from thirty eight and
1:58
Speaker 1: thirty four yards. What did Ryan Day have to say
2:01
Speaker 1: to Jaden Fielding after the game and how does that
2:04
Speaker 1: maybe impact things in terms of his decision making moving
2:07
Speaker 1: into the playoff.
2:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not I'm not there right now quite honestly,
2:12
Speaker 2: still trying to digest everything that just happened. And you know,
2:17
Speaker 2: got a locker room full of guys who are just devastated.
2:21
Speaker 2: And I thought they played with great emotion. I thought
2:23
Speaker 2: the defense played their tails off, and I thought everybody
2:26
Speaker 2: played hard. Just the overall execution wasn't good enough, especially
2:29
Speaker 2: on offense, well on offense, and you know, we just
2:34
Speaker 2: we couldn't control the game in the run. Game just
2:37
Speaker 2: weren't efficient enough. And you know, overall execution wasn't good
2:40
Speaker 2: enough in a game like this. And so that's that's
2:43
Speaker 2: really what you know, what I'm thinking about right now.
2:46
Speaker 2: And you know, the guys in that that locker room.
2:50
Speaker 1: One thing you hear Ryan Day and the buck Eyes
2:51
Speaker 1: talk about a lot is doing what they do, not
2:55
Speaker 1: worrying about the opponent, just worrying about doing what they
2:57
Speaker 1: want to do. This is now four straight years is
3:00
Speaker 1: where doing what they do has not been good enough
3:02
Speaker 1: to win the Michigan game. So how do you pick
3:05
Speaker 1: up the pieces and move on from here?
3:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm just fresh off the game right
3:09
Speaker 2: now and obviously extremely disappointed and you know, angry that
3:14
Speaker 2: we didn't execute well enough. So you know, I'm not
3:18
Speaker 2: there right now, you know, just fresh off the game.
3:20
Speaker 2: But but as you as you know, you know it's
3:25
Speaker 2: not easy to accept, and you know, obviously you have
3:29
Speaker 2: to take the ownership. You know, it's it's you know,
3:31
Speaker 2: I'm the one ultimately that you know, makes the final
3:34
Speaker 2: decisions on things. And you know, it felt like we
3:37
Speaker 2: were a really good place coming into this game. I
3:38
Speaker 2: felt like we were prepared to play well in this game.
3:41
Speaker 2: And you know, I think you could see maybe some
3:46
Speaker 2: of the stuff that you know happened in the offensive
3:48
Speaker 2: line and shuffling things around ended up you know, really
3:51
Speaker 2: coming to a head today. You know, some of those
3:53
Speaker 2: guys have to look at the film and figure it out.
3:55
Speaker 2: But we just couldn't seem to get you know, through
3:57
Speaker 2: to the second level on some runs, and uh, you know,
4:01
Speaker 2: led us some frustration. And then you know again I thought, guys,
4:05
Speaker 2: we're into it. Even all the way to the end.
4:08
Speaker 2: There was a great play by Jack on the goal line,
4:11
Speaker 2: just unbelievable effort right there to give the offense a chance.
4:14
Speaker 2: But you know, go three and out and it was
4:17
Speaker 2: fourth and one on our own, you know, on our
4:19
Speaker 2: red zone. I just felt like at that point you
4:20
Speaker 2: had to you had to punt it because if you
4:23
Speaker 2: don't get it there, the games probably you know, really
4:25
Speaker 2: in the balance. So yeah, I don't know much want
4:29
Speaker 2: to say about it.
4:30
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to that tempo, no huddle
4:33
Speaker 1: drive right before the half and it led to the
4:36
Speaker 1: only touchdown of the day for the Buckeyes. Did they
4:39
Speaker 1: look at maybe doing more of that in the second half.
4:41
Speaker 2: I mean, we tried to change up the huddle, I
4:43
Speaker 2: mean the tempo a little bit on some things, and
4:47
Speaker 2: some of it worked and some of it didn't. That
4:49
Speaker 2: that drive it worked and it was in the two
4:53
Speaker 2: minute drive, and I thought it was well executed. But
4:56
Speaker 2: you know that was you know, just one hundred percent
4:58
Speaker 2: throw on that. You know, that drive there. I think
5:01
Speaker 2: maybe there was a run or two, but but you know,
5:04
Speaker 2: but you got to stay out. You got to get
5:05
Speaker 2: first downs when you're doing that. If you don't get
5:07
Speaker 2: first downs, then you know, it's hard to continue to
5:10
Speaker 2: play with tempo. So you know, there were times where
5:13
Speaker 2: we tried to move it a little bit faster. You
5:15
Speaker 2: can see we didn't huddle as much today. We tried
5:17
Speaker 2: to get you know, more plays. We thought that gave
5:20
Speaker 2: us an opportunity, but ultimately it wasn't enough.
5:24
Speaker 1: There have been a lot of things that were different
5:25
Speaker 1: over those last four years, and those losses to Michigan
5:28
Speaker 1: the only thing that was being consistent. They've lost all
5:30
Speaker 1: four games to Michigan. So at what point does this
5:32
Speaker 1: maybe become a mental thing for the team and maybe
5:36
Speaker 1: for Ryan Day.
5:37
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I mean I can just probably
5:39
Speaker 2: go off of this game and what's going on in
5:41
Speaker 2: this game right now. I think each game is a
5:44
Speaker 2: little bit different and unique to itself, like you said,
5:46
Speaker 2: but but the results of the results, and you know,
5:51
Speaker 2: as hard as that is to say, you know, we
5:53
Speaker 2: came up short. Here it again today and you know,
5:57
Speaker 2: not easy to swallow at all.
5:58
Speaker 1: There were a lot of things that had gone well
6:00
Speaker 1: for Ohio State all year long that didn't go quite
6:02
Speaker 1: as well on Saturday. One of those was the play
6:04
Speaker 1: of quarterback Will Howard. He had an up and down day,
6:07
Speaker 1: had some good moments, had some bad moments, also had
6:09
Speaker 1: an injury where he really took a real hard shot,
6:12
Speaker 1: went to the sideline. What was the deal there? And
6:16
Speaker 1: you know, did that potentially impact him later in the game.
6:19
Speaker 2: You know, we I just go based off of what
6:23
Speaker 2: our doctors say, and you know, it came out for
6:26
Speaker 2: a second and then they said he was available and
6:30
Speaker 2: he was okay to go back in the game. And
6:31
Speaker 2: I checked with him and he said he was in
6:33
Speaker 2: good shape and didn't recognize anything just in terms of,
6:37
Speaker 2: you know, the interaction that led to anything other than
6:40
Speaker 2: for him to go play.
6:42
Speaker 1: All right, So what actually was off about Will Howard's
6:45
Speaker 1: performance on Saturday?
6:47
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like the you know the interception you
6:52
Speaker 2: know in the red area, you know that was he
6:55
Speaker 2: floated a little bit and it was a little bit
6:56
Speaker 2: behind him, didn't have a lot of zip on it,
6:59
Speaker 2: kind of died you know, I know he was trying
7:01
Speaker 2: to make a play on the third down in the
7:02
Speaker 2: red zone and you probably could have just thrown that
7:05
Speaker 2: away and what had a field goal opportunity there. So
7:09
Speaker 2: you know, there's a fine line of trying to make
7:10
Speaker 2: plays and win the game, but also you know being
7:13
Speaker 2: smart enough to you know, take care of the ball.
7:16
Speaker 2: And so that's that's the that's the balance of playing
7:19
Speaker 2: you know, playing quarterback. And I think we all know
7:21
Speaker 2: that you know, Will gave everything you possibly had today.
7:24
Speaker 1: The Ohigh State defense really did not give people much
7:27
Speaker 1: to complain about all day long, held Michigan to just
7:30
Speaker 1: three points outside of drives where the offense put them
7:32
Speaker 1: in really terrible positions. But they did have a crucial
7:36
Speaker 1: twelve men on the field penalty late in the game
7:38
Speaker 1: coming out of a timeout that gave Michigan a first
7:41
Speaker 1: down that really helped them burn more clock. So what
7:45
Speaker 1: was it that happened there on that twelve men on
7:47
Speaker 1: the field penalty?
7:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was miscommunication in terms of the grouping based
7:52
Speaker 2: on what they had in the game, and you know,
7:55
Speaker 2: they were you know fast to run off the sideline
7:58
Speaker 2: and you know, we weren't get been a ton of
8:00
Speaker 2: time to be able to match the personnel. And so
8:03
Speaker 2: in that moment it was getting loud, there was there
8:06
Speaker 2: was miscommunication, you know in terms of what was in
8:08
Speaker 2: the game, and you know, because it was moving so fast,
8:12
Speaker 2: there was a little bit of panic going on. You know.
8:14
Speaker 2: You know, typically when you know a group runs on
8:16
Speaker 2: the field, you know, you get a little bit of
8:18
Speaker 2: time to make sure you make that substitution, you know,
8:20
Speaker 2: and you know that that time was very very fast,
8:23
Speaker 2: and so you know we had to quickly, you know,
8:27
Speaker 2: respond to that, and we didn't well enough, and we panicked,
8:30
Speaker 2: and that in acostas.
8:33
Speaker 1: In the second and third quarters of the game, the
8:34
Speaker 1: Ohios State defense was absolutely dominant. Michigan had a two
8:38
Speaker 1: yard drive. Now they scored a touchdown on that because
8:40
Speaker 1: the offense through an interception right before that. Then they
8:43
Speaker 1: had a five yard drive, a three yard drive that
8:46
Speaker 1: was another one where a short punt left Michigan with
8:48
Speaker 1: a very very short field. They only got three yards,
8:50
Speaker 1: but they kicked the field goal out of it six
8:52
Speaker 1: yards right before the half, four yards on a drive
8:55
Speaker 1: three yards and drive that ended an interception. Ohistate had
8:57
Speaker 1: been absolutely dominant. Michigan had not picked up a first
8:59
Speaker 1: down since late in the first quarter at that point,
9:03
Speaker 1: but then late in the third quarter, Michigan put together
9:05
Speaker 1: back to back drives fifteen plays seventy seven yards eleven
9:08
Speaker 1: plays fifty seven yards, ended up kicking a field goal
9:11
Speaker 1: on that last drive that was the winning points in
9:13
Speaker 1: the game. So what was it the change with the
9:15
Speaker 1: defense that Michigan was finally able to sort of crack
9:18
Speaker 1: and break through.
9:20
Speaker 2: No, I mean they had a couple of runs in there,
9:21
Speaker 2: and they escaped on one of the a couple scrambles
9:25
Speaker 2: that kept them on schedule. I thought that defense kept
9:28
Speaker 2: fighting their tails off, you know, and kept competing though,
9:31
Speaker 2: and you know, when you're not getting as much momentum
9:36
Speaker 2: on offense, you know, it can kind of wear in
9:37
Speaker 2: your defense a little bit. And I think that's probably
9:39
Speaker 2: more than anything would happen. But I thought they continued
9:41
Speaker 2: to fight the entire game.
9:44
Speaker 1: It is not a big mystery that the Ohio State
9:46
Speaker 1: head coaching job comes with a lot of pressure. Urban
9:49
Speaker 1: Meyer gave Ryan Day a speech when he sort of
9:51
Speaker 1: handed the keys of the program over after the twenty
9:53
Speaker 1: eighteen season, and all sort of paraphrase it, but it
9:56
Speaker 1: was basically, you have you graduate. All your players have
9:58
Speaker 1: to do everything the right way, everyone has to do
10:01
Speaker 1: with things well off the field, and you have to
10:03
Speaker 1: win every game. Go get them, Tiger. It's not like
10:05
Speaker 1: this is a mystery that this is what what life
10:08
Speaker 1: was like as the head coach at Ohio State. But
10:11
Speaker 1: nonetheless there's obviously a lot of pressure that maybe is
10:15
Speaker 1: feeling like a little more pressure these days. What is
10:17
Speaker 1: that like for Ryan Day?
10:20
Speaker 2: No, I mean, everybody you know wants to win this
10:22
Speaker 2: game in the worst way, you know, and nobody wants
10:26
Speaker 2: to win them more than we do. And it's our
10:28
Speaker 2: number one goal every year. And so when you don't,
10:31
Speaker 2: you know, do that, and there's disappointment and frustration, and
10:34
Speaker 2: so you know, I don't I don't blame anybody for
10:36
Speaker 2: being upset. And I'm upset, you know, more than anybody.
10:40
Speaker 2: And you know those players are too, and the coaches
10:42
Speaker 2: and everybody that goes at it. So I mean, that's
10:45
Speaker 2: what we know we're getting ourselves into here.
10:48
Speaker 1: There were a bunch of times in the second half
10:49
Speaker 1: where it felt like Ohio State was right on the
10:51
Speaker 1: verge of kind of taking taking charge of the game
10:54
Speaker 1: and maybe sealing things up and walking away with a
10:57
Speaker 1: win that you know, you felt like was Prozuma coming
11:00
Speaker 1: at some point and never quite did. In the third quarter,
11:04
Speaker 1: twice they hit it first down in them in the
11:07
Speaker 1: red zone and the ball never went to Jeremiah Smith
11:10
Speaker 1: and Jeremiah Smith had didn't have a huge day, but
11:13
Speaker 1: twice they threw the ball to Jeremiah Smith and down
11:16
Speaker 1: the field and got past interference calls on both of them.
11:20
Speaker 1: Does Ryan Dave regret not taking a shot to Jeremiah
11:23
Speaker 1: Smith in the end.
11:23
Speaker 2: Zone there when you know my defense is playing softer
11:29
Speaker 2: and kind of backing up like they did in this game.
11:33
Speaker 2: You know, you have to be able to take the
11:34
Speaker 2: undereas stuff or run the football and that's really you
11:37
Speaker 2: know what happened. And you know there were times when
11:40
Speaker 2: we tried to push the ball into the end zone,
11:42
Speaker 2: but but ultimately you know you can't just you know,
11:45
Speaker 2: you know, force that. You know you got to you
11:47
Speaker 2: got to be smart and what you're doing, because you
11:50
Speaker 2: know they can put a cloud over him like they
11:52
Speaker 2: did and put two guys on them, so you know
11:56
Speaker 2: there's opportunities to do that. We did that, but also,
11:58
Speaker 2: like you know, you got to execute another areas and
12:00
Speaker 2: that's what we'd always talk about in balance and when
12:03
Speaker 2: you don't have balance and you can't run and throw
12:04
Speaker 2: the ball when you need to, and this is what happens.
12:08
Speaker 1: You've heard Brian Day talk a bunch about the fact
12:10
Speaker 1: that they weren't able to run the ball. So did
12:12
Speaker 1: he and Chip Kelly talk about just Okay, I guess
12:15
Speaker 1: you got to throw it more.
12:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, I guess we when we end
12:19
Speaker 2: up throwing at the end of the game thirty three
12:20
Speaker 2: times out of I don't know how many plays we
12:23
Speaker 2: had fifty nine, so there were more passes than runs.
12:28
Speaker 2: But you can't just you know, you can't just abandon
12:32
Speaker 2: the run. You know, you have to be able to
12:34
Speaker 2: you know, you have to be able to control the
12:35
Speaker 2: ball because as we know, and you throw the ball.
12:38
Speaker 2: And then it was it was windy today, and you know,
12:40
Speaker 2: we didn't have a ton of time back there in
12:42
Speaker 2: terms of protection, so you know, we tried to be
12:44
Speaker 2: smart about that. I thought, you know, again that we
12:48
Speaker 2: had a good plan in the past game going in,
12:50
Speaker 2: but ultimately it wasn't it wasn't good enough to execute it.
12:53
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, those are all things that you
12:55
Speaker 2: talk about and make sure you're doing the best you can.
12:57
Speaker 1: Just some context there in terms of some numbers are
13:00
Speaker 1: on that discussion. In the first half they ran it
13:02
Speaker 1: fourteen times for thirty six yards. I threw eighteen times
13:05
Speaker 1: four one hundred and nineteen yards. And the second half
13:07
Speaker 1: they ran it twelve times for forty one yards, through
13:10
Speaker 1: it fifteen times for fifty six yards. So there you go,
13:12
Speaker 1: there's some stats for you to sort of put some
13:14
Speaker 1: contact around that conversation. The next question was just kind
13:18
Speaker 1: of basically, boy, how big were those two missed field goals?
13:21
Speaker 2: No, I mean, you know, the turnovers, the rushing yards,
13:25
Speaker 2: and then you know you again, you know you missed opportunities,
13:29
Speaker 2: you know, like those two field goals. Yeah, I mean
13:30
Speaker 2: it's gonna it's gonna cost you a game like this.
13:32
Speaker 2: Every every yard matters, every point matters, and it didn't
13:35
Speaker 2: get done.
13:36
Speaker 1: The game itself was ugly for Ohio State, no question,
13:40
Speaker 1: But then there was that big fight on the field
13:42
Speaker 1: after the game, and that was kind of a different
13:44
Speaker 1: kind of ugly. Sunday night, the Big Ten announced that
13:47
Speaker 1: both teams are going to be fined one hundred thousand
13:49
Speaker 1: dollars each, but no players were going to face individual punishments.
13:53
Speaker 1: So during that Meylee, during that fight on the field,
13:56
Speaker 1: what did Brian Day see.
13:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know all the details of it, but
13:59
Speaker 2: I know that you know, these guys, you know, are
14:03
Speaker 2: looking to you know, put a flag on our field,
14:05
Speaker 2: and our guys weren't going to let that happen. So,
14:08
Speaker 2: you know, I'll find out exactly what happened. But you know,
14:10
Speaker 2: this is this is our field, and certainly, you know,
14:14
Speaker 2: we're embarrassed with the fact that we lost the game,
14:17
Speaker 2: but you know there's some prideful guys on this team
14:18
Speaker 2: that weren't just going to let that happen.
14:20
Speaker 1: So the Buck guys have three stated goals every season.
14:24
Speaker 1: Number one beat Michigan, Nope, not gonna happen this year.
14:27
Speaker 1: Haven't happened for the last four years. Number two win
14:29
Speaker 1: the Big Ten Championship, Nope, can happen this year. Hasn't
14:32
Speaker 1: happened for the last four years. So now the last
14:35
Speaker 1: goal win the National Championship. How do you pull things together?
14:39
Speaker 1: How do you regroup now to try and hit that
14:42
Speaker 1: third goal winning the national Championship.
14:45
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I'm fresh off the you know,
14:48
Speaker 2: we're fresh off the game and so I don't really
14:50
Speaker 2: have the answer to that. Yeah, I mean, we're very disappointed,
14:54
Speaker 2: and you know, I never thought this would happen right here,
14:57
Speaker 2: and you know, we're expecting to win this game and
15:01
Speaker 2: then go play in the Big Ten championship game, and
15:03
Speaker 2: neither of those things happened. So, you know, we don't
15:06
Speaker 2: know what's going on now. This is just too soon
15:11
Speaker 2: to try to figure out what's next. But once we
15:15
Speaker 2: have more information than about a week, we'll we'll figure
15:18
Speaker 2: that part of it out. I'll bring them together here
15:19
Speaker 2: pretty soon and talk to them. But there's a lot
15:22
Speaker 2: of guys who are crossed right now.
15:25
Speaker 1: Ohio State fans obviously plenty disappointed after the game, you
15:28
Speaker 1: could tell from the tone, the body language, everything. Ryan
15:32
Speaker 1: Day obviously very disappointed as well, But it would be
15:34
Speaker 1: hard to be more disappointed than the Ohio State senior class.
15:38
Speaker 1: So many of them came back specifically to win this game.
15:42
Speaker 1: Beating Michigan was one of their stated goals, fell just
15:46
Speaker 1: short on Saturday. What's the message to those seniors now
15:49
Speaker 1: who came back to win that game and then now
15:52
Speaker 1: are going to have to deal with the fact that
15:53
Speaker 1: they didn't do it.
15:55
Speaker 2: There's not much great, nothing you can say at this point.
15:57
Speaker 2: You got to take the ownership of its hard and
16:00
Speaker 2: you know, ultimately, you know, it starts with me, and
16:05
Speaker 2: you know there's not there's no words right now that
16:07
Speaker 2: can you know, address any of that because of what
16:09
Speaker 2: they put into the program. And you know, these are
16:12
Speaker 2: great guys who you know, give unbelievable effort and ultimately
16:16
Speaker 2: we just didn't execute well enough in this game. And again,
16:19
Speaker 2: you know, it starts with me and it goes goes
16:21
Speaker 2: from there.
16:22
Speaker 1: Finally, a quick clip from the other postgame interview room.
16:27
Speaker 1: This was over from Michigan's postgame interview room, and this
16:30
Speaker 1: was a question about the flag planning. Obviously heard Bryan
16:33
Speaker 1: Days sort of thoughts on that earlier. Now this question
16:37
Speaker 1: got framed around the concept of losing gracefully, which is
16:41
Speaker 1: certainly one way to look at the postgame melee and
16:44
Speaker 1: everything around it and what caused it and all that
16:46
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Here was Davis Warren's thought on that.
16:50
Speaker 3: We talked about it all week, being disciplined and letting
16:53
Speaker 3: our play on the field do the talking. And you know,
16:55
Speaker 3: through the echo of the whistle, I think you know
16:59
Speaker 3: we had that one. You know, in sportsman like offsetting one,
17:01
Speaker 3: which you know those are those are going to happen
17:03
Speaker 3: in games like this. But I think as a unit,
17:05
Speaker 3: as a team, we did a great job of that.
17:08
Speaker 3: You know what happened at the end, I can't speak
17:10
Speaker 3: for that, but you know, we're going to win in
17:13
Speaker 3: your house and we're going to play at the flag
17:15
Speaker 3: like should have you know, you should have done something
17:18
Speaker 3: about it, you know.
17:20
Speaker 1: So there you go. The Michigan's starting quarterback, Davis Warren, boy,
17:24
Speaker 1: it was. It was to the point I think for
17:27
Speaker 1: sure not a not a day that Ohio State fans
17:30
Speaker 1: are going to want to talk about a lot more.
17:32
Speaker 1: There's gonna be plenty of though to talk about this
17:34
Speaker 1: week as we now start to look forward and figure out, Okay,
17:37

17:39

17:42
Speaker 1: week of the regular season now in the books, and
17:45
Speaker 1: then now with with conference championship week coming up as well,
