- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes Tomorrow morning for Sunday and November thirtieth.
- 0:03Speaker 1: I'm your host, Tom Moore. The Big Ten Championship game
- 0:06Speaker 1: against Indiana in six days, the game against Michigan in
- 0:10Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty three days. We're here to talk
- 0:14Speaker 1: about the game against Michigan twenty twenty five edition. But
- 0:18Speaker 1: before we do that, thank our sponsors Gret for Griddle
- 0:20Speaker 1: Thumb's his favorite food truck, Starving Smashuger, score Ma Sandwiches
- 0:23Speaker 1: and good vibes Quicker catering today at Grateful Girdle oh
- 0:26Speaker 1: dot com. Kevin Noon, the vibes are immaculate. In the
- 0:30Speaker 1: Michigan Stadium tonight, get the snow, got the picturesque setting,
- 0:35Speaker 1: and man oman, did Ryan Day get the win over
- 0:38Speaker 1: Michigan that he had been I'm sure craving four years
- 0:42Speaker 1: and got it in exactly I'm sure the way he
- 0:44Speaker 1: would want to get it.
- 0:45Speaker 2: The streak of winning the rushing battle and winning the
- 0:48Speaker 2: game is still intact.
- 0:50Speaker 1: The most important storyline there is.
- 0:52Speaker 2: And we didn't see the game the fistfight in a
- 0:54Speaker 2: phone booth. I mean it was a tough game. There
- 0:57Speaker 2: are still a lot going on. I mean it really
- 1:00Speaker 2: was a fulfilling win. Ryan Day. It's gonna I mean,
- 1:03Speaker 2: he's going to enjoy this until he gets back to
- 1:05Speaker 2: Columbus and has to start breaking down Indiana film. I'm
- 1:09Speaker 2: sure they're already gas and such, already doing all that.
- 1:12Speaker 2: I'm sure they've already pulled some stuff there. But enjoy it?
- 1:15Speaker 2: Why you can't?
- 1:16Speaker 1: Yeah, And this was I don't know. I was trying
- 1:18Speaker 1: to decide which drive or which score of this game
- 1:22Speaker 1: maybe encapsulated what really this was all about. And I
- 1:26Speaker 1: think it was the field goal drive. I'm just going
- 1:29Speaker 1: to read these numbers to you and you can let
- 1:31Speaker 1: you react. Twenty plays to zero, twenty plays eighty one yards,
- 1:37Speaker 1: eleven minutes and fifty six seconds, spanning five minutes and
- 1:41Speaker 1: six seconds in the third quarter to eight minutes and
- 1:44Speaker 1: ten seconds in the fourth quarter, ending in a field goal.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Other than that, if Ryan Day took all of the
- 1:52Speaker 1: AI computers in the world and tasked them all with
- 1:55Speaker 1: just creating the perfect drive in his mind, in the
- 1:58Speaker 1: perfect situation, he plays eighty one yards, if it had
- 2:01Speaker 1: just ended in a touchdown, just running over Michigan in
- 2:05Speaker 1: the snow in their stadium, I don't know that he
- 2:08Speaker 1: could have done any better than that.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you put that on. I mean,
- 2:12Speaker 2: granted you you end with three instead of seven, but
- 2:15Speaker 2: you put that on. Maybe we'll see that at camp.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see that instead of the ball games or whatever.
- 2:20Speaker 2: We'll see that at camp, with them just exerting their
- 2:23Speaker 2: will and pushing their way through and just sucking the
- 2:27Speaker 2: life out of the stadium, because I mean there, I
- 2:30Speaker 2: don't know how many Michigan fans really in their heart
- 2:32Speaker 2: of hearts came in or like not only were gonna
- 2:34Speaker 2: win this game, but we're gonna just you know, we're
- 2:36Speaker 2: gonna beat the crap out of you or whatever. But
- 2:38Speaker 2: Ohio State went full Bowl Constructor after a little bit
- 2:41Speaker 2: of a slow start and just really just choked them out.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Yeah, this was This was about a sharp a one
- 2:48Speaker 1: point eighty on a reversal of narrative as you could
- 2:50Speaker 1: possibly get. You had bad weather. You know, can the
- 2:55Speaker 1: can the fancy quarterback play in the bad weather? No
- 2:58Speaker 1: one of them could want them, couldn't. And you had
- 3:02Speaker 1: Ohio State winning the line of scrimage on both sides
- 3:04Speaker 1: of the ball. You had them, as you said, just
- 3:06Speaker 1: really just boa constricting that that game away and forty
- 3:11Speaker 1: seven rushes for forty seven rushes for Ohio State and
- 3:15Speaker 1: the out rush Michigan. But you know they forty seven rushes.
- 3:20Speaker 1: I can't remember the last of Ohio State had forty
- 3:22Speaker 1: seven rushes in a you know, competitive game. If you're
- 3:25Speaker 1: just trying to beat Grambling or whatever, that's one thing.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Forty seven rushes, holy smokes, and they I think through
- 3:33Speaker 1: eighteen passes. But they were effective. With the passing game.
- 3:36Speaker 1: This was this was Ohio State basically able to do
- 3:38Speaker 1: whatever they wanted to running or pass.
- 3:41Speaker 2: If you would have told me that Ohio State was
- 3:43Speaker 2: going to have forty seven rushes, I would say something
- 3:45Speaker 2: went really wrong or something went really right. Yeah, and
- 3:48Speaker 2: it was something going really right at that point. But yeah,
- 3:51Speaker 2: the passing game was there. I mean Julian Saying had
- 3:54Speaker 2: an incompletion, then through an interception and then was like
- 3:57Speaker 2: thirteen or fifteen on it on. You know, following that
- 4:00Speaker 2: up looked really good. Obviously at Carnel Tane, obviously at
- 4:03Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith. Ryan Day commented on just how hard the
- 4:06Speaker 2: training staff had to work to get these guys up
- 4:09Speaker 2: and ready to go for this game, because you know,
- 4:12Speaker 2: they were limited. They were limited throughout the weeks and
- 4:15Speaker 2: everything else. But hats off to to to coach Lachlan,
- 4:21Speaker 2: to Bo Jackson, to everybody involved in that whole situation,
- 4:24Speaker 2: to the offensive line, they really were able to get
- 4:28Speaker 2: some things done. And wow, Bo Jackson really he is
- 4:32Speaker 2: he is going to be a star.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Yeah, that was That was a real coming of age
- 4:36Speaker 1: kind of game. But the I mean the offensive line,
- 4:39Speaker 1: This game always starts in the trenches. The offensive line.
- 4:42Speaker 1: There were a couple plays where I thought like, oh,
- 4:44Speaker 1: there's you know that, that's that's the thing that we've
- 4:46Speaker 1: seen a couple of times where it's like up there's
- 4:50Speaker 1: one of the guards chasing someone and whatever. But men,
- 4:52Speaker 1: when they needed to in the in the goal line,
- 4:54Speaker 1: it was not always great. And you know right right
- 4:58Speaker 1: down at you know from the one yard line that
- 4:59Speaker 1: you yard lines didn't always punge it in there. But
- 5:02Speaker 1: just in terms of just being able to sort of
- 5:04Speaker 1: assert their will, I saw the guys from the College
- 5:06Speaker 1: Football Nerd saying they just made Michigan quit on that drive,
- 5:08Speaker 1: on that twenty play drive, just just broke their will,
- 5:12Speaker 1: which for an offensive line that is you know, has
- 5:15Speaker 1: been solid but not otherworldly that was That was another like,
- 5:21Speaker 1: holy smokes, kind of did not see that coming to
- 5:25Speaker 1: that degree.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Whenever I can quote something from my favorite movie, A
- 5:28Speaker 2: blood Sport, they made him tap and say mate, and
- 5:31Speaker 2: you know, and unfortunately Tony Gerdaman's out of earshot right now,
- 5:35Speaker 2: he would be all about that. But yeah, they really
- 5:38Speaker 2: just they didn't want anymore of it. Michigan didn't want
- 5:41Speaker 2: it anymore. They were just like, this is done. Let's
- 5:43Speaker 2: just you know, let's just get on to a warmer
- 5:46Speaker 2: ball climate.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and now Ohio State is moving on to
- 5:49Speaker 1: a warmer climate, not necessarily outdoors, but they're going to
- 5:52Speaker 1: be playing indoors next Saturday, taking on the Indiana Hoosiers.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Indiana took care of Purdue no problem at all on
- 5:58Speaker 1: Friday night, and Ohio State handled their business on Saturday.
- 6:03Speaker 1: So now it's Buckeyes and Hoosiers. And this is the
- 6:05Speaker 1: game that we've been talking about, just sort of pointing
- 6:08Speaker 1: to all year as a boy. It's too bad Indiana's
- 6:11Speaker 1: not on the schedule because I would love to see
- 6:13Speaker 1: these two teams play. And you've got a million story lines.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Can Indiana get over the hump? Indiana playing in its
- 6:19Speaker 1: home State. Indiana has a chance to win the Big
- 6:22Speaker 1: Ten for the first time since what nineteen sixty eight,
- 6:24Speaker 1: sixty seven, I think in Indianapolis right against you know,
- 6:28Speaker 1: Slay the you know, Slay the Giant in Ohio State
- 6:32Speaker 1: and all of that, plus you have probably the two
- 6:36Speaker 1: guys who are going to be you know, the winner
- 6:37Speaker 1: of that game probably wins the highestman between the two quarterbacks.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I mean, this is going to be a completely just
- 6:43Speaker 1: a week of just I don't know how you know
- 6:46Speaker 1: how many shows we're going to do this week, but
- 6:48Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna run out of stuff to
- 6:49Speaker 1: talk about.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna want to talk about what's going on in
- 6:52Speaker 2: these other conference championship games. This is one versus two
- 6:55Speaker 2: in the vallege football playoff rankings. I mean, obviously both
- 6:58Speaker 2: these teams very secure their future is going to be
- 7:00Speaker 2: in the college football playoffs. But you know, you better
- 7:03Speaker 2: believe both these teams are gonna want to do this.
- 7:06Speaker 2: And I'm going to google Kurt Signetti every day just
- 7:09Speaker 2: to see, you know, just to remember who he is.
- 7:11Speaker 2: He's a coach that's won every game this year by
- 7:14Speaker 2: like five thousand points. Because he's just not gonna take
- 7:17Speaker 2: his foot off the gas. Let's see what happens in
- 7:20Speaker 2: this one.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the very exciting and I think one thing
- 7:23Speaker 1: we didn't talk about, at least we didn't talk about
- 7:25Speaker 1: it on the post game show. I think Ohio State
- 7:27Speaker 1: has now officially cleared its dance card for the weekend
- 7:30Speaker 1: of November or December nineteenth and twentieth, or twentieth and
- 7:33Speaker 1: twenty first, whatever it is. At this point, you have
- 7:35Speaker 1: probably punched your ticket to one of the top our seeds. Yeah,
- 7:38Speaker 1: so now you can play that game, you can focus
- 7:41Speaker 1: on that game, and you can really kind of know,
- 7:43Speaker 1: all right, that's gonna be December seventh, I think sixth,
- 7:47Speaker 1: whatever it is, sixth, sixth, and then you're gonna have
- 7:51Speaker 1: like three weeks off before you're gonna go. If you
- 7:53Speaker 1: win that game, next week, you play in the Rose Bowl.
- 7:55Speaker 1: If you lose that game, you're gonna you know, it's
- 7:56Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit TVD. You're not gonna be
- 7:58Speaker 1: in the Sugar Bowl. You're not gonna be in the
- 7:59Speaker 1: Rose Bowl. It could be the Orange Bowl or the
- 8:03Speaker 1: Cotton Ball or the other two choices for the for
- 8:06Speaker 1: the quarterfinals. But that is a problem for Uh, you
- 8:09Speaker 1: know this time a week from now, we'll be doing
- 8:12Speaker 1: that that those are warmer problems. Yes, so we'll we
- 8:17Speaker 1: will be uh, we will have man o, man Well,
- 8:19Speaker 1: we have a lot of stuff to talk about this week.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Holly smokes Ohio State twenty seven Michigan nine in a
- 8:25Speaker 1: game that again probably the probably exactly the game Ohio
- 8:28Speaker 1: State fans wanted to see they got it, and now
