  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyees tomorrow morning for Sunday, October fifth, I'm
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: your host, tom Or the Illinois game in six days,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the Gimmy It's Michigan in fifty five days.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: If you're planning your.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Next event, make it unforgettable with Grateful Griddle Columbus his
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: favorite food truck, surfing up, Smashburger's Gourmet Sandwiches, and Good
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Vibes book You're catering today at Gratefulgriddle oh dot com.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Ohio State takes care of Minnesota forty two to three.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how to do it was to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: describe it. I mean they crushed them, yes, but it
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: just kind of felt takes care. Feels like it was
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a little more in line with Okay, Minnesota's in here, okay,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and you just sort of brush them aside. Join bke
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Kevinnoon of bucke Huddle dot com, Kevin. I do wonder
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: if the Penn State UCLA score maybe got Ohio State
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: just a little more focused before kickoff on Saturday night.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a lot of craziness on Saturday and
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: especially in that three thirty window. So having those things
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: lead in certainly doesn't hurt and then let's go to
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the first drive from Minnesota. They hold onto the ball
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: for almost half a quarter, go sixty six yards. A
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: team that only gets one hundred and sixty two yards
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: a total offense in the game ends up having to
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: settle for a field goal. But Twitter was a little uncomfortable.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: People were getting a little we're getting a little little
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: dancy out there about what was happening at that point.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: But you know, I think that, you know, Ohio State
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: took care of things. I think all of our predictions
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: were probably pretty close. Some idiot who's sitting here set
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: thirteen points for Minnesota that they would have needed like
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: thirteen quarters to get there, I think.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And just for those of you listening onto podcasts as
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: opposed to watching on YouTube, Kevin was pointing at himself.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: There, I've owned it. I owned it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you go through the drive that thirteen played, sixty
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: six yards.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: We've seen over and.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Over, you know, the opening drive. Sometimes you've got usually
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: got something planned.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You've looked at what the other team's doing, and it's
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a feeling out process, and the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: offense maybe has a little bit of an advantage there,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and so you see the opening drive, there's a touchdown
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: or there's whatever.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And Minnesota took the ball. Minnesota won the toss and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: took the ball.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You don't ever do that on the road because then
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you lose a chance to do the middle eight thing.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You give the crowd a chance to get real loud,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: real early in the game. So they did that, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I thought, oh, they've really got something cooking here. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they went thirteen plays sixty six yards right down the field,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: got inside the Ohio State ten, ended up kicking a
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: field goal, and then after that nothing three plays eight yards,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: three plays two yards, five places nineteen yards, three places
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: negative six yards, five plays seventeen yards, three plays zero yards,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: three plays negative one yards. At that point it's thirty
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: five to three, and then they put together a ten
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: play fifty two yard drive that ended up in a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: missed field goal at the end. But you know, that's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the vast majority of the game. From the point that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Minnesota had a three nothing lead to the point that
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Ohio State had scored thirty five unanswered points. They did
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: nothing an offense basically at all.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Well, when you look here and Ohio State did not
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: have takeaways, there was a turnover r on downs, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: there wasn't you know, it wasn't like drives were killed
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: because of a fumble or an interception. I mean, Ohio
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: State just really he went all Boa constricter on him
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and squeezed.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: The life out of them.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And on the other side of Ohio State goes you
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: know three you know, three straight touchdowns, then a couple
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: of punts and then three straight touchdowns and then the
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: end of the game. So again, you know, more possessions
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: this time around than maybe in the last couple of
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: games for Ohio State. But once again, you know, I
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: think the proof is there that they've got the dudes
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: and they've got the system. Now, that doesn't mean that
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: you're always going to execute at one hundred percent. There's
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of tape in this one that the coaches
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: are going to be going through. There's already people at
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the Woody as we're recording this that are going through it,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and there are gonna be a lot of teaching lessons
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and not everybody's going to be in Champions Dinner.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I'll assure you of that. That's my design.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: But you know this, this was a very you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: matter of fact, forty you know, thirty nine point win.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because this was a game where I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: expected Ohio State to really get after the quarterback because
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: this was not a mobile quarterback like they faced all
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the other weeks this season, and so you thought, Okay,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: they're really gonna be able to get after this guy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And they ended up with one sack, one sack, no turnovers,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: which you hear that that's all I tell you about
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a defense.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You go, oh boy, they had a bad they had.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: A rough day, but they had seven tackles for loss
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they got they were just kind of not on the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: field long enough to pile up any stats. Was it
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: was really an impressive performance. And it's just another week
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of Matt Patricia just he's just made it look effortless.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of work and a lot
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of knowledge and a lot of preparation and a lot
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of practice and a lot of meetings and a lot
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of all that kind of stuff film study that goes
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: into this, but he has just made this look so
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: easy for the first five games in the season.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And we won't talk about, or maybe we will, his
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: predecessor and the issues that he had against UCLA, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think that they're I think everybody there deserves,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: you know, to wear the Dunce cap on that one
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: because in that game, because there was just a lot
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: of issues on both sides of the ball. But yeah,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Matt Patricia certainly has gotten the most out of his guys.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I mean people are like, well, he must be like
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: a wizard. Well, he's a wizard who walked into a
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: room with a lot of talented players. So let's you know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: let's give credit where credit is due. It's not like
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: he sat there and took you know, this this ragtag
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: bunch of underachievers and turned them into you know, the
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: bad News Bears and turned them into the eighty five
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Chicago Bears or anything like that. But you know, we've
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: seen we've seen a lot of good teams kind of
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: blow it on, you know, with with coordinator Hires and
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Ohio State certainly through through five games is not blown anything.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: No, they they have really kind of just handled their business.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And when you come from the NFL, A huge point
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: spread in the NFL is two touchdowns. If you're a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: two touchdown favorite, that's about as big a point spread
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: as you're going to see outside of like real real
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: edge cases. Ohio State is routinely a four touchdown favorite.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: That is not unusual.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So I feel like Matt Patricia may coming from the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: NFL where you have to really out scheme your opponent
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and you can't rely on talent advantages, you know, massive
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: talent advantages. I feel like it's like taking the doughnut
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: off the bat and it's like, boy, this sure is light.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: You know now that I have a Caleb Downs and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I have you know, sunny styles, and I mean, but
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you go around the defense and David Sintigmnosen has been
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: really good this year, Jermaine Matthews has been really good
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: this year. R Vel Reese has been really good this year.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: They've Cayden Curry. I mean, you can go through the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: whole defense.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I can.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I can name lots of Ohio State players as it
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: turns out.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: But yeah, they're all on your computer.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: They are all on my computer, yes, but I could
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: do most of.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It without it. Not to brag, but it has just
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: been so consistent for Ohio State where through five games
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: they've given up two touchdowns. Both were kind of a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: little bit fluky. Both were plays where they're both passes,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: passes where the defender was right there they have not
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: had like a big bust this year. They haven't had
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It's just been so just well coached, well structured, well
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: well taught, well executed. It has been. This has been
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you know, where where does this rank in terms of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the best Ohio State defenses were through five weeks? Okay,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we understand you're through five games through this point of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the season. You know, I think back to like the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six defense was kind of in that kind
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of area. Twenty sixteen maybe, I mean, I'm struggling to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: think of Ohio State defenses that were clearly better than
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: this one.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Twenty nineteen maybe right.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I'm I've already done some research on this in nineteen
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: seventy three, which I was one to two years old
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: for that, And I don't know if my partner over
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: here is necessarily really alive.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: And I was a twinkle in someone's eye, But.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: You know, we look here in seventy three, they gave
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: up seven in the first game three three zero seven
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: zero zero zero. Remember that as the year of the
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: ten ten High against Michigan. Great documentary on BTN called
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Tiebreaker about it. Certainly, I don't necessary I remember the documentary.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I don't remember the seventy three season. But yeah, there,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I'm starting to put some notes together about this, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure there are going to be some
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: old heads there that are gonna appreciate it because it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: going to take them back to maybe their collegiate days
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: or whatever. I mean, at least their youth. But yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: this this defense is starting to get into some of
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: that rarefied air.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that team gave up seven points to Minnesota,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: So this team clearly better math, don't lie. We should
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: talk about the other side of the ball as well,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: because there was plenty to like on that side of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the ball as well. Let's start with Carnel Tate because
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this was this turned very early into you know, capital T,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: capital C, Capital T the Carnel Tate game, Capital G.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Capital G.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nine catches one hundred and eighty three yards, three
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: catches of between forty five and fifty yards, only one touchdown,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: but nine catches on ten targets, averaging twenty yards per
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: per completion.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: That's that'll that'll play.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was only ninety percent on his targeting rate.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, obviously there was a miss in
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: there somewhere, but yeah, he was sitting at like a
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: buck fifty or something pretty early in the game, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: it was like, yeah, I mean, he's not necessarily going
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: to be putting up three bills. They're going to call
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: the dogs off by then, but we're certainly going to get.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Him to two.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: And it didn't necessarily happen there. But you throw for
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: three forty one in the game, you know, he gets
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty three of them. I mean, it
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: certainly was you know a game of where well it
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: wasn't what was it the Washington game or was it
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the game before the Washington game where he largely wasn't there.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, that's that's an anomaly. That's an anomaly.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: There's going to be a game where he's going to
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: go for two Hundy or something and didn't quite get there.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: But I mean he was, he was on. He and
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Sane really have, you know, seem to have a connection there.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: You know, they're one of his touchdowns, you know, were
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: one of his touchdown I don't remember being super contested
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: at that point.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: No, he was.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: He was behind the defense, right but you know, the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: defender is in the photo, but he's not.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Right there right there. But a tremendous game.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I mean when we're not talking about Jeremiah Smith who
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: had two receiving touchdowns.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he does that every game, So that's is
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that even worth mentioning. I mean, they played the national anthem,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that's what they do. They do play the national anthem.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith gets two touchdowns, and that's just kind of
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: like part of the.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Game, punching pie for all.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, just to avoid having this be the Chris
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Farley Paul McCartney SNL sketch where it's like, remember when
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you were in the Beatles.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: That was awesome?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: That was awesome, That was you know, this is this
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: is a Ohio State team where there's a lot going
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: right right now. For this Ohio State team, you'd like
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to see them run the ball a little better.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: You would.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, and they run for one hundred and thirty
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: three yards, which is deceptive because fifty some yards of
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: that probably came in like real garbage time at that point.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, it all matters. I mean, you know, I
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: thought it was good that James Peoples was able to
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: get out there and have some success. I mean, sometimes
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you need to taste a little success to have future success,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: but no, the running game still kind of bogged down.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: And when we talked about there being taped that you
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: need to sit there and kind of go through the
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Lincoln Keenholtz third down package or whatever wasn't necessarily ready
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: for primetime.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: No, that feels a little square peg, round hole where
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: they've brought him in and it was third and two
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: or something like that, and I think he might have
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: lost a yard or something on that. They've tried that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: with Devin Brown, they tried that with Tate Martell. Like
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: we've seen this kind of over the years, and it
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: seems like such a great idea and then it never
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: quite works out in execution for whatever reason, and it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: happened with multiple quarterbacks that it hasn't worked. So you know,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna keep trying stuff. And I my
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: guess would be that would not be something if they
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: get to the National Championship game. That's probably not something
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you see in the National Championship Game. But they're at
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the point where they're gonna be trying stuff and there
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: are still some challenges ahead where they're gonna have to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you know, next next week's game, it's on the road,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you're playing an Illinois team that's, you know, better than Minnesota.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I think is probably safe to say. You know, we
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: all saw the Indiana Illinois game. We all know, but
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: they also you know, they they've played reasonably well. That
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: was probably that is clearly the outlier game for them
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: right now this season.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what o'hireus it looks like.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: On the road against Illinois, that's a place where weird
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: stuff can happen sometimes. And then they've got to go
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: up to Madison the week after that, and then a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: week off, and then Penn's Day comes to town.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure they.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't see anything about the game. I'm
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: sure they were just playing in Ucla. I'm sure it
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: went fine.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: So that's why that's why I don't bet.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's a that's a good If it was me,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I just would have hit the Ucla money line, But
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm just built different.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: That was plus thirteen hundred for the for you degenerates.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Out there, I bet it was so yes.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: So you know, High State forty two, Minnesota three buck
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: guys just kind of handle their business.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It was it was a you know, it had.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Flashes of excitement. There's a lot for our High State
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: fans to feel happy about. But it was kind of
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a workman like just sort of, you know, chew them
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: up and spit them out kind of performance. Buck Eyes
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: forty two to three over Minnesota.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Headed to Illinois next week.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: We'll be there covering the Buckeyes in Champagne, taking on
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Brett Bilima and the fighting a line I. The game
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: will be big noon on Saturday. It's be a nice,
