• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning for Sunday, December seventh. I'm
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: your host, Tom Moore. The game against Michigan in three
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six days. If you're planning your next event,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: make it unforgettable with great Ful Griddle, Columbus's favorite food
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: truck serving up smashburgers, coremet sandwiches, and good vibes. Book
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: catering today at gratefulgriddleh dot com. All right, so you
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: will notice there is no what's the next game in
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the intro.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: That's cause that's sort of a little bit of an
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: open question.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: The College Football Playoff Committee will let the Buckeyes know
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: who and where they are playing next. That will come
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: up Sunday at noon. We will have that for you
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: on our YouTube channel. We'll try and do a live
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: instant reaction show. Right now, it is the early morning
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: hours of Saturday, Sunday, December seventh. We are still in Indianapolis
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: at Luke Sooil Stadium. That is where the Indiana Hoosiers,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the number one Indiana Hoosiers Big Ten champions going to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl Heisman Trophy quarterback. I know this is
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a show Kevin Noon that is focused on an audience
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of Ohio State fans, and I know that they're going
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to be upset, and I get it, and we'll get that.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, we'll get to that. But the Indiana Hoosiers.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Are going to enter the college football Playoff as the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: number one team in the nation and the Big Ten
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: champions and almost certainly have the Heisman Trophy run our quarterback.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: What a time to be alive.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Gross, That's all I can say about that. Gross. I mean,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: it is what it is. Imagine paying I mean, I
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: guess if you're a Hoosier fan spending five, six, seven,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: one thousand dollars whatever to get here, it was well
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: worth it if you're an Ohio State fan.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: That was what we got to see out of that.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I probably haven't, probably haven't some regrets, but yeah, what
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: a world.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: What a world it was.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It was a it wasn't an esthetically pleasing game, but
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it was an exciting game, and it was a very
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: competitive game throughout. I don't think anyone was ever up
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: by more than a score, right right, No, So it
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was a true sixty minute football game. You had some
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: lead changes and both haves. You had you know, some
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: turnovers here and there. You had some goal line drama,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you had a replay overturn, you had all sorts of stuff.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You had people getting mad at the officials on both sides.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: This was a game that had a little bit of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: everything except for like multiple touchdowns for either team.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You know, I think my number one takeaway from this
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: game is Indiana is whatever. You know, whatever questions anyone
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: had about Indiana, they answer them like this is this
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: is a team that can win the national championship this year.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And I think I don't know that anyone could really
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: argue that right now.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: It really just creates some questions as to you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: is there a great team out there? But Indiana certainly
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: is in the upper crust of teams out there, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: you just have to get hot at the right time.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: And Indiana was able to keep Ohio State at Bay.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Ohio State kept Ohio State at Bay. You know, they're
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: going to be a lot of what ifs and Sunday morning,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Monday morning quarterbacks who are going to question decisions that
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: we saw in the game.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Certainly execution.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I think that you have to
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: have Indiana on the short list, and you know, I
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: would be like well, if Ohio State and Indiana played
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: each other again, it would be a very different set
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of circumstances. I don't know, they don't burn that game
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: plan that they had in terms of offense. You know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: we could see that all over again. I mean because
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I mean they just did not seem to be in
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: sorts in terms of what the play calling is. We
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: certainly have had people far smarter than us in terms
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: of x's and o's who've been like, can they just
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: bury the thirteen personnel once and for all? I mean,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: we saw way too much thirteen personnel. You have to
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: wonder about Carnell Tate and Jeremiah Smith. We saw a
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: lot more Jeremiah Smith activity than we saw Carnell Tate.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: But when you're when you're trotting Bo Jackson and Jeremiah
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Smith off the field and trotting two tight ends in there,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Questions, Yeah, and I think those are absolutely fair questions.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And I was not in the rhyan DA press conference.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I assumed that there was not a Carnel Tate was
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: on a pitch count or anything like that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't, I didn't hear any of that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I was I was a good one hundred yards away
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: from them, and I'm just I'm just trying to keep
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the shots stable.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and just the internet situation here was a little,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a little iffy.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: It was worse. It was worse than the offense.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: We were We were running, running, like Julian Saying was
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: behind that offensive line at times. And this was a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: This was a game that felt like a lot of
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: things had to line up for Indiana to win this game,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and they and they and they did, but it was
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it was all legitimate stuff, but it was like a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: lot of fifty to fifty stuff. Will Ohio States offensive
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: line be able to block Indiana's defensive line consistently?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: The answer was no.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Will Ohio State be able to run the ball effectively
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: enough to score touchdowns in the red zone? The answer
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: was no. The Ohio in the second half, this was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: really the game. You know, Jaden Fielding missed a field goal,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: everyone got mad at Jayden Fielding. This wasn't a Jaden
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Fielding game. This was a Ohio State had two drives.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: They went for a combined i think twenty seven plays
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and one hundred and fifty one yards and took fourteen
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: minutes and fifty six minutes off, fourteen minutes and fifty
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: six seconds off the clock, and they totaled zero points.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: If you burn half of the second half on two
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: drives and you're trailing at points in the second half
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and you score zero points, that is not a winning formula.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Again, I just I don't understand. I'm going to have
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: to watch this game. I'm going to have to watch
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: this game. I don't want to watch this game. I'm
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: gonna have to watch this game again to kind of
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: really understand. As Tom mentioned, the internet issues we had
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: here really kind.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Of made the viewing experience.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: In terms of doing this professionally, it made it challenging,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and there were too many times I was cussing at
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the computer that I didn't actally get to see what
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: was going on. But yeah, some of their some of
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: their play calls. I'm still I think the play call
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to remember the most is when they sat
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: there and uh saying rolled out to his left and
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: uh and it was going looked like it was going
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: to be a fade to Jeremiah and there were two
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: defenders on him, and there was just the play design
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: had nothing else in it, and you knew that they
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: were going to take two shots at it and then
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: and then they weren't able to punch it in at
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: that point. I mean, it just it felt very predictable.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: It felt very blase. I don't know what. I don't
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: know how you have those types of situations where you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: everybody's like, well, the team came out flat. Well the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: play calling kind of came out flat, and of course
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: people are going to vilify, you know, departing coach Brian Hartline. Oh,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: he was already in Tampa. He was already working on recruiting.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Players. Got to execute.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Coaches got to put players in positions to be able
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: to execute.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: There's more than enough to go around.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, this was not a Brian Hartline
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: game plan by himself, Like, this is one that got
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: kind of put together by the whole staff.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: That's how they always do it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, this is it's very easy to go
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that guy that one.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It's never actually that simple. So now.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: It's not that simple moving forward, because we will find
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: out at noon on Sunday where Ohio.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: State plays next.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Who Ohio State plays next, My guess would be obviously
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Indiana number one. Contractually, they go to the Rose Bowl contractually.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: That means that their half of the bracket is locked
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: into play in the Peach Bowl in the in the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: semi final. So even if Indiana loses in the quarterfinal,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that side of the bracket is going to the Peach
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Bowl in the semi final. Ohio State presumably, I would
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: be surprised if they dropped to four. So they are
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: either two or three, which means they're on the other
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: side of the bracket. Georgia presumably is going to be
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: whatever the other is, the two or three.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: And they'll go through New Orleans, and Georgia.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Is contractually obligated as the SEC champion to go to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the Sugar Bowl. So that leaves two spots of Ohio State.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: One is they could be in the Orange Bowl as
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a quarterfinal. They could be in the Cotton Bowl as
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a quarterfinal. Given that Texas Tech is very likely going
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to be the other of the top four seeds, presumably
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the committee that there's not a contractual tie in there.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So presumably the committee would just put Texas Tech in
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the Cotton Bowl because then you're close ish to home.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: It's Texas It's not actually that close, but it's close ish.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So that would.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Presume it's the same state, but it's still away.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It is a It is a flight
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: for probably a lot of people.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: But so that would presumably put Ohio State in the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Orange Bowl. You figure they're probably they're going to try
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and avoid interconference or in truck conference matchups if they can.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: So I would assume the.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Ohio State didn't play Oregon, So I mean, there's.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, but Oregon was five last last week.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I would assume they're going to stay five. So that's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: probably Texas Tech would take on as Texas Tech if
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: they stay four, would take on Oregon.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: It's the five.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio State if they're the three, probably takes on number six,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: which would be ole Miss, and ole Miss would probably
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: play They're gonna play number eleven and Virginia lost to Duke,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: so that number eleven might very well be Tulane. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: figure here's your most likely scenario, Tulane in Virginia to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Tulane and ole Miss as the six to eleven game,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: feeding into the number three Ohio State Buckeyes and the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Orange Bowl. Is that going to be exactly what it is?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: We'll all find out together at noon here in a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: couple hours. Yeah, time you're watching this. Yeah, so we'll
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: we'll all find out together at noon and then we'll
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: kind of have and then we'll have another thing to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: talk about in the intro to the show every day,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and won't that be wonderful? So we'll we will be
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: turning the page to that game very soon as we
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: head out of here and head back to Columbus for
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that hole the whole college football Playoff reveal. We'll try
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and have a live show for you at noon to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: do some instant reaction there, and then we'll be talking
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to Ryan Day and the Buckeye players at one point
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: thirty as they try to turn the page and get
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: ready for the college football Playoff.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Not all, you know, all is not lost.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Buckeyes currently three wins away from the national championship.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: That's not a bad place to be.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Same same place Indiana is, same play Georgia is, same
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: place Texas Tech is. So we will we will be
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: back on Sunday to let you know who the Buckeyes
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: are playing, when and where, and then we'll have playing
• 10:25
