BONUS: Ohio State Team Arrival Live: Previewing Buckeyes vs. Longhorns · Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Hello, live from not quite Austin, Texas, but near Austin, Texas.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: where the Ohio State Buckeyes have landed or about to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: land at the airport, and they're going to be here
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: at their team hotel in roughly 15 to 30 minutes,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the Lord be a willing and the traffic permit. I'm
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Tom Moore of Buckeye Insiders, joined by Chuck Mulledy, Tony Gerderman.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We got a chance to go over. I know everyone's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: immediate question is going to be, how hot is it?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Which feels like the start of a joke, but it's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: not a joke. We were over at the stadium earlier, Chuck,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and walking around on the turf there, It's cooled off
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a lot since then because this rain has come, but
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it was toasty down on the field at DKR today.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: When we were walking around the stadium, it was hot.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: We got down on the field, and after being on
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the field for about 10, 15 minutes, I was sweating
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: through my shirt.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not an easy sweater, so it was very, very hot.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: We'll put it that way.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Tony, your thoughts?
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I tried to stay undercover. You guys are out on
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the field. I got some pictures, and it's enough for me.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go find some shade. But it's nice now.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It feels like it's, you know, my watch still says
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: it's 96, but there's no way. It's dropped probably a
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: good 10 degrees. Almost comfortable.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Almost comfortable.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Now the heat is going to start bubbling up that humidity.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And we'll see how comfortable it is in 20 minutes.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And we were there this afternoon, sort of early afternoon time.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It's going to get hotter as the game gets closer.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But then, obviously, as the sun sets, the sun sets
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: about an hour into the game tomorrow night.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Then it'll start cooling off again.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: We'll see how toasty it really is at DKR. It
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is not what it was last week, though. Last week,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it was in the hundreds. Tomorrow, it's supposed to be
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: in the sort of high 90s. It's not going to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: be 150 degrees on the field, probably.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: So we'll see that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: 138 tops.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not a degree over 135. So, yeah, we'll see
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: how that goes. But, you know, the weather's only a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: small portion of the game story this week. It's... There's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: so many elements of this game, Chuck, that I think
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we can start with. But I think I want to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: start with the Ohio State offensive line because I think,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to me, how many points they score and whether they
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: can win this game comes an awful lot down to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: how much time does Julian Zane have?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: No doubt about that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: And not just that, but how does he react to
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: pressure when he hits it? Last year, towards the end
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: of the year, it wasn't so great. We know that
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: he's worked on that a lot. potentially that X factor
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: coming out, getting out scrambling. And we saw last week
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: with his first Russian touchdown, there was no hesitation. He
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: was ready to go out and get it. We know
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: we'll see Arch do that on the other side. If
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: we see Julian do that when pressure comes, that'd be
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: a great thing. But when we look at the games
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: last year where the offensive line didn't do so hot,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: they allowed about 10 pressures against Penn State, Wisconsin, and then,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: you know, further on against the better teams, But if
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: they can keep it under about 10 pressures, three sacks,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think they can do some real damage
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: on the offensive side of the ball.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if this is going to be, if there
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is a bunch of pressure, and I wrote this, I think,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: on the message board or somewhere today, this could be
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Julian Sands' C.J. Stroud against Georgia game, where he's making
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: plays with his legs and still finding people downfield, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: he can show, like, why doesn't he run more? And
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: they said all that about C.J. Stroud as well, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: then he finally does it. like opens up the entire
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: offense and just like, where was this the other years?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And I think I'm not saying he's going to be
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: running like that, but he's going to have the opportunity
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to make plays after things break down. And I'll be
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: interested to see how he does, because it's not something
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that he's had to do. And how does he do
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: off schedule? Cause he's going to be off schedule at times.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: And then the other half of the question with the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: offensive line is how does everyone else run? Cause they,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: in the first half last week against ball state and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: ball state is not a good team. really struggled to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: run the ball almost at all. And it felt like
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: they sort of got some things on track in the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: second half. And I did a show with our, one
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of our scheme guys, Ross Fulton earlier in the week,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: talking about some of the whys behind that. It involved
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: zone tracks and that kind of stuff that is worth
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: your time. If you've not watched that one, but also
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I do always kind of wonder when you're playing a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: really overmatched team on a hot day, how much of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that is also you sort of wear them down because
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they don't have the second teamers and the third teamers
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that they can kind.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Of roll in there. So, What to you, Chuck, is
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: a winning number?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Assuming they do give up three sacks, sort of factor
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that into their yards per carry, what's a winning number
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: for Ohio State? If Ohio State runs for X yards
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: per carry, obviously if they run for nine yards per carry,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they're going to win the game.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: But how low does that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Number go where you still go, you're feeling pretty good
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: about Ohio State's chances?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, four and a half, five yards a
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: carry would be plenty to get it done. And if
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: they can get a total of 100, well, that's something
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: they haven't done in two previous wins against Texas.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: And that's a pretty low bar.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: It doesn't feel– you pop off one or two explosives,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: and those explosives, not just the 10-15 version, but we
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: can get those out for 30-35 like they've been working on,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: like we saw Bowie and Jacoby do last week.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: And all of a sudden, you're well over that 100-yard mark.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: You're well over five yards of carry, like last week
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: with a really poor first-half average. They end up at 6.8
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: yards of carry when it's all said and done by
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: busting a couple.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I'm interested to see how many yards or how many
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: carries go for like two or fewer yards. A third
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: of their carries went for two or fewer yards last
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: week against Ball State. You would expect, I'm not expecting
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that number to be vastly improved in terms of those
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: where you get stopped towards the line of scrimmage, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I think you just need more eight to 12 as
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: well to punch up those numbers and really get the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: past the line of scrimmage. And then somebody brings you down,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: but staying on schedule as much as you can and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: going beyond the schedule moving the chains if they can
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: do that on first and second down a few times
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and just reset things that way you're not battling from
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: behind on second and nine after one yard game and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: now it's like well and then you take a sack
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and the drive is over on third and long or
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: whatever so it's be interesting to see how they try
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: to avoid that and stay ahead of the chains.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: One of the real x factors on offense and especially
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in the ground game to me and this might not
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: just be the ground game but the ground game and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: maybe the short to intermediate passing game is legend bay
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and it's We have now seen him. You have seen
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: what was promised. You have seen him sort of deliver
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on that last week. But it still was like he
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: was on the field for 10 plays. He touched the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: ball on eight of them. Like, obviously, that is not
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: representative of what's going to happen against Texas. So the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: question is, if they want to get him eight, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: do they want to get him eight touches and he's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: got to play 25 snaps? Or do they want to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: get him 10 snaps and that means he's only going
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to have three touches? What's your expectation for how they're
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: going to, how and how much they're going to try.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: And use him on Saturday?
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: So I think that they're going to try to keep
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: the touches close to eight, but that's going to mean,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: you know, 15 to 20 snaps, I think is what
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: we're going to see. An increased snap volume, but maybe
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: a couple more decoy plays with Legend because, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: eight out of 10 is not going to work or
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: he's going to get totally shut down. But I think
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: in a game like this, they're really looking for those
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: explosive plays, being on the road. And a guy like
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: that just gives you one of the best shots on
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: the team. And when you add him to the attention
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: that he can bring now after seeing him on film
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: with Jeremiah, you put the defense in some turmoil there
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: as to what they're going to do and how they're
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: going to go about that. And I think that's just really,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: really valuable. They can trust him there. We'll talk about
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: kick returns.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Who knows? But they think they can trust him. I'm
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: ready to see a lot of them on the field. Well,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and if you're saying 15 to 20 snaps, which I
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: don't disagree with, you're talking a third of the game,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: fourth of the game that he's going to be out there,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: which is a lot for any of the running backs,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: not named Bojax. So that's where we're talking to last night.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Do we see two running backs out there together so
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that you can get some of that stuff? And then
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you're removing Brandon Ennis or Devin McEwen to do that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Cause I assume we're going to keep the tight ends
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: out there, but yeah, it, Even if it's not even
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: just a decoy, it's to occupy the defense because they
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: have to pay attention to him. And if they don't, great.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Then you've won that round if you get in the ball.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: But it will be interesting to see how much they
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: target him in the passing game because it clearly worked.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And then play action off of him as well.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and I think you could use him in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the passing game by having him be the guy who
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you're doing play action with that's setting up other people.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I also look at him and, you know, Texas has,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Texas outside corners are solid and nickel solid. But if
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you've got three running back, three wide receivers out there, okay,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that ties up the corners. You've probably got a safety
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: who's paying a little bit of attention to Jeremiah Smith.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: So you're running out of defensive backs. So then you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: probably are getting yourself into a situation where it's legend
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Bay against the linebacker. I don't think that's going to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: be a consistently winning formula for Texas.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: No. In fact, you know, The whole secondary, they've got
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: a very good safety. Co-master comes over from Rutgers, and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: he's the good corner. I really like the nickel. We
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: saw him last year, Grayson Middleton. Very good game. But, yeah,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like the linebackers, hey, if they want to use Raheem
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Biles on Legend and take him out of the play, great.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: But I don't think that's how they're going to use him.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to attack with that guy. So,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: um yeah i mean there could be some room for
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: legends who operate in any number of.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Ways and then the big question to me is okay
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: one of the big questions can they protect julian saying
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: one of the big questions how much they need to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: run for seven catches 46 yards for jeremiah smith in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: two previous games against texas you didn't do a game
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: We've seen Ohio State beat Texas without Jeremiah Smith. The defense,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I had many fewer questions about the defense last year
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: than I do this year on the Ohio State side.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: So I think they're going to have to do more
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. It feels to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: me like you probably need Jeremiah Smith to do more
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in this game than he has. Even 6-43 last year,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you've got to get more than that out of Jeremiah
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Smith on Saturday night.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I totally agree.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I felt that all week.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Just going down into Texas at night, just the mean time,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: You've got to have him hit some explosives. You've got
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: to have him involved in more than six receptions. I mean,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: what he had at halftime last week was seven, right?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: For 151? Yeah.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: And the connection between he and Julie and the chemistry
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: just felt different than last year. And it's always been good, right?
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: But it just felt different. And I do think that
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: you're going to see quite a bit more. I think
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the biggest line is five and a half receptions for
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith. That seems ridiculous to me.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Way over.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: how much are they going to essentially force him to
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: ball and not force it in a bad way, but
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: design things for him. Like this is for him, like
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: legend Bay last week, those plays were for him. This
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: play is for Jeremiah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: There's a progression, but the first read is Jeremiah, you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: most of the time it's some of those plays that
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: they're designing for him all of the time. But yeah,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it's almost like you can't use them too much, but
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: what Julian saying can do is focus on him too much.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: If that's not part of the actual plan.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Um, It seems to me like you have an opportunity
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: there to, he should, I always feel like you can
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: oversimplify things and say, Jeremiah should be the first to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: read the passing game every single time, which I understand
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: why you can't do that. But also, you feel like
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the way he's talked about Arthur Smith talking about how
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: he wants to use him, and the way that I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: think Arthur Smith has come up with ways to use
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: his talent in the NFL is, I get the sense
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that getting him involved early, getting him involved in lots
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: of different ways. I go back to the Rose Bowl
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: against Oregon, where the first touchdown, I think probably his
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: first touch of the game, was also his first touchdown
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of the game. And it was, he just ran kind
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of behind the line of scrimmage. It was kind of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: one of those little touch passes. And then you make
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: a couple guys miss, and bing, bang, boom, six points.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: And you can't take away a guy behind the line
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of scrimmage. You can take away what he does after that,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: if you can get him down off the ground. But
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you can't... If you're coming, you know, either you have
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: major offensive line problems or you're really off sides if
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you're taking away a guy on a jet sweep. So, yeah,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to try and come up with
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: new and creative ways to get him the ball. Just
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to give everyone a quick update, we are waiting on
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the team arrival. Generally, the first sign of that is
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: we will hear police sirens, which is the police escort
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: with the buses coming from the airport. We're on the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: north side of Austin. The airport is on the south
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: side of Austin. We have not seen an update yet
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: on exactly when they landed.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not heard anything.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: They were planning to get to the hotel around 6.45 p.m.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Central Time to 7 p.m.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Central Time. So it could be any time now. We
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: are sort of standing by.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: As soon as that happens, as soon as they show up,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: we'll have Chuck run over, get his camera, get set
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: up to give you guys a shot and to see
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: everyone walking in. Tony will have his camera. He'll go
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: get the interview with Brian Day. So that is our
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: game plan. Now you guys are all in the loop.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Insiders on three, ready, break.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: That is the plan.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: That's the plan, yes. How will the plan go?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Well, it started pouring five minutes before we were planning
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to start the show. So, yeah, football season is generally
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a have a couple audibles ready time of year, especially
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: these kind of events. So let's talk a little bit
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: about the other side of the ball because we've talked
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a lot about the Ohio State offense. The Ohio State defense,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of new faces. Eight starters gone from
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: last year's team. And this is a pretty good Texas offense.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I think Ohio State fans, the last time they saw
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning play against their team, he looked like a
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: very overwhelmed first-time starter.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: And guess what? He was a very overwhelmed first-time starter.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Now you have a year of film of what Matt.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Patricia is trying to do with this defense. Now Arch
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Manning has a year of experience under his belt. Juck,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I think it is very important for Ohio State fans
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: to not go, the guy that I saw in Ohio Stadium, yep,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: that's going to be exactly who they see on Saturday
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: night in DKR, and they'll be absolutely fine.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: No concern.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Arch was not just bad that game, but he
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: was bad maybe four or five games after that. It
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: kind of became a bit of the butt of the joke,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: but things really changed in the latter half of the season.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: He obviously came around and got way better in all
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the things that he always does. everybody thought he was
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: going to be because of the pedigree, because of the
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: physical tools, because of the way he's wired, and now
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: because he's in his fourth year in the program, you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: it's all coming together.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: So we're talking about a guy who is going.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: To be a seasoned vet coming out here. This is
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: his third year starting games, right? Not third year as
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: a starter, but starting games his second year. And, you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: I think he's definitely going to be a handful, and
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: they're going to have to get some heat on him
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: for sure. I wonder if this is– more of a
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: skilled offense than a very good offense at this point.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Because I think the pieces are really good, but the
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: running game struggled against Texas State. We'll see what the
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: connection looks like with Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo and Arch,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: because they looked pretty good that first game, but I
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: wouldn't see the entirety of it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Because if they're not able to run the ball, then
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: that makes stopping the pass a little bit easier. And
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if this, because I've been told people tell
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: me this is the most talented team in the nation,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and it may be. What is it? you know, is
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the sum as good as the parks?
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Well, and part of the question with the offense, because
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I think I believe much more in the Texas offense
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: than I do in the defense. I think I look
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: at Ohio State and Texas as very, very similar teams
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: this year, where I like the offense better than the defense,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: but I have some questions about the offensive line. And
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: when you have questions about the offensive line, that can
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: sort of be a little bit of a parking brake
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: that you're driving the offense with. And, you know, at
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, there were questions about the tackles last week.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: with Texas, there's still sort of a positional battle at
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: left guard for them. And, and Steve Sartesian said earlier
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: in the week, they're probably going to play two guys
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: at left guard and it's, you know, it's not to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: avoid the heat.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: It's, I don't think they know which the better option
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: is there.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And it's not, you know, you watch them run the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: ball last week, Holly and Smothers popped a what 40
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: yard or something like that at his first carry of
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the game. And then after that, it was just kind of,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I think they had 10 carries for no gain or
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: negative yardage out of 30 or 35 carries, something like that. That's,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: that's like officially capital a capital P a problem. And
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: it certainly had questions about the Ohio state run game
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: as well. But I look at these two teams, you know, Okay.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Not a, not a police, not a police siren.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: To me, that's another great question is can Texas run
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the ball? Cause if Texas can run the ball, if
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Texas can, be multiple on offense and not get one-dimensional
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: like they have the last couple of years, that feels
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: like that would make an enormous difference in what the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: ceiling for their offense could be Saturday.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going over the Ohio State rushing numbers,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: pardon me, in their yards per carry, which ended up
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: being 6.8.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: And everybody was saying, well, that's because they busted a
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: couple of explosives.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's go over the rest of the country.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: And Ohio State, amongst the top-tier teams that didn't play
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: an FCS opponent, was number one.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And I looked at Texas.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Relique Brown had 10 rushes for 13 yards and then
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: one 21-yarder. And then you had Hollywood Smothers with his 45-yarder.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Without that, he was under three yards per carry. So
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: they got.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: Bottled up by Texas State, really bottled up, hit a
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: couple of explosives.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Hollywood was right at the beginning of the game and
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: kind of just caught them off guard.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: You know, they're going to be relying on explosives here
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: because I don't think they're going to consistently pick up
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: three and four yards a chunk.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: But they've got two guys that can do that. They
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: can go at any point. So this is where the
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: tackling comes in. We don't know how well this team,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: the Buckeyes, tackle yet. Certainly not as good as last year.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: They may be very good, but they won't be as
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: good as last year. So you still have the last
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: line of defense with Jalen McClain. But the first line
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: of defense, or the second line of defense with Earl Little,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Caleb Downs shut a lot of stuff down. Can Earl
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Little do that? Can Peyton Pierce do some of what?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Sonny Stiles did. I'm not asking him for no missed
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: tackles until the playoffs. But just being that consistent guy
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: that once he touches somebody, they're done. And not just
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: tackling them, but keeping them from picking up two or
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: three yards after contact. Because Sonny was in the right
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: place an awful lot. And Peyton Pierce knows where to be.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: It's just a matter of will he get there? Will
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: he bring the guy down? Because if you don't, then
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: that guy can go the distance.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Texas has some potential home run hitters, and Ohio
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: State's tackling last week was certainly a concern. Okay, team
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: just landed. All right, so they're running a little late.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: So great news, friends. You're going to get a little
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: bit of extra live show today if they just landed.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: They are running a little bit late because, again, the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: airport is on the other side of town.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: So now we're probably looking at about 30 minutes, give
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: or take.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: It's starting to get a little warmer.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: That's all right. It's not raining, he said, jinxingly. Said
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: that out loud, didn't I? Yeah. The other piece of
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: the Texas offense.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: The running game was inconsistent last week, but they hit
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: some big plays. The passing game, they had Brian Wingo
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: last year. The Ohio State fans have seen him. from
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the Cotton Bowl two years ago, the game in Ohio
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Stadium last year, and then now obviously this year.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: But they also added Cam Coleman. And Cam Coleman is–
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Brian Wingo is fast. Cam Coleman has the catch radius.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: He feels like he's someone who could present kind of
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: a– between the two outside corners for Ohio State, I think, Chuck,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: they're going to present some– I don't know if it's
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: matchup issues, but, man, it's going to be must-see TV.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: This right here is something.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Kim Coleman was wasting away over on the Auburn roster,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: and it was kind of like out of sight, out
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: of mind.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: But this is going to be a story all year
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: at Texas.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: This dude's the real deal.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Crazy ball skills when the ball's in the air, along
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: with that crazy catch radius. And I think rivals Jeremiah
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: in the amount of issues.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: That he's going to present the average corner.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Because of his size because.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: Of that catch radius the speed and are arching him
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: in good enough saying it really takes full advantage that
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: would be one thing you know when we saw last
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: week just Julian working with really both McEwen and uh
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: Jeremiah the way they were in such good sync that
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: rhythm I don't know that that arch is going to
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: be in the same kind of rhythm with either of
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: them because Wingo I mean he's not a great catcher
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: of the ball guy drops a lot of footballs can
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: a great guy with the ball after the catch.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: But with Coleman, he could certainly hit some big ones.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a heck of a battle. Devin
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Sanchez called him.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Out by.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Name. He wanted it.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: He wants it.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: He knows he's getting it. And he gets to get
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: it coming back home.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: So it's going to be one heck of a battle,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: one that I'm sure we'll be talking about for the
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: rest of the year after it happens.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Well, and we've seen first-round corners in Ohio State history
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: have some rough games against certain opponents. Antoine Winfield against
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Plaxico Burris, Nate Clements against Ron Johnson, Bradley Roby against
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Jared Aberderis. There have been some games where guys just
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: went off and stuff happens. And it's just one of
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: those games. So here, like, yeah, you want to make
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: sure that that doesn't happen. And I'm fascinated to see,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: this is going to be our first big time game
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: for Devin Sanchez to see what he does as that
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: lockdown guy. So this is also an opportunity for Jermaine
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Matthews to shed some of the things that people will
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: say about him. But also, both of these guys are
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: going to give up catches.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Because the receivers are too good. Quarterback is too good.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: There may be too much time to throw here and there. So, like,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: that's just what happens. Sometimes heavyweights get punched in the face.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: And I think you're going to see that from both teams. But, yeah,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm expecting both of those guys to give
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: up catches, not because they're bad, but because they're playing
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: NFL receivers and an NFL quarterback.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: And Texas' third receiver, Emmitt Mosley, he's no slouch either.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: And that could be an area where Texas... I know Ohio.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: State coaches and within the program, they are super high
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: on Jay Timmons.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Still a true freshman. I think you certainly can move
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: your receivers around. Mosley tends to play in the slot,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: but you can certainly move guys around to set up
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: different matchups.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: I am expecting them to.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: find out what the young man is made of on
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Saturday night before they, you know, before they explore other things,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I think they're, they're going to probably take it, take
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: some shots at Jay Timmons and see if he is
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: everything that he has been built to be.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: There's a big target on 25 as there should be.
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: It's a matter of how he responds, how often that
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: keeps coming towards him. And you know, there's chance, maybe
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: he makes a big mistake and gets himself out of position.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: And that results in an explosive and, That happens a
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: couple of times. Where do you go from there? Not
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: really a conversation I think is needed because I think
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: he's going to handle it good enough because of his makeup.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Because of everything that we have seen from him so far.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: And the praise that he gets from the individuals that
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: he gets that praise from, it's as good as you
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: can get.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I'm interested to see how they use him in terms
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: of not just coverage, but the attacking aspect of it,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: because we've seen him blitz in practice and things like that,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: but he's a good tackler. We'll see if he's a
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: great tackler. Cause you're going to have some opportunities, but
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I just want to see him do some things. Everybody
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: raves about him. The way they talk about him is
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the way Alabama talked about Caleb downs. It's just, some
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: guys are different. So how different, how different do they
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: use them in this game? Cause I think we talked
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: about this. Like, I don't view this as being too
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: big for him. Just his mentality is different. Maybe we're
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: wrong about that. And freshmen are still freshmen, even in
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: games like this. This is the same guy that said,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I'm coming here to start as a freshman. Like that's,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: It sounds crazy to say, but he's serious about that.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: It's not just some, it's not a Bryce Underwood thing.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: You know, it's.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: It's different.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: It is different.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: And since you brought up Bryce Underwood, let's talk a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: little bit about another guy who may be able to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: run the ball a little bit on Saturday. Probably better
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: thrower of the football, but Arch Manning, we talked about
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: him as a passer. I think Arch Manning as a
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: runner might be one of the real X factors here
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: where if he can just use his legs to, sometimes
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: it's going to be picking up a first down. Sometimes
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: it's going to be getting out of the pocket to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: buy some time and run that scramble drill, buy some
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: extra time for your receivers to get open, whatever it is.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It feels like, you know, last year it felt like
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Ohio state was happy to just sort of cage him,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: like say, okay, beat us with your arm. I don't
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: know that that's purely the game plan this year because
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: he's a much better thrower with the football than he
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: was this time last year. So, I don't know how
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: you balance that. Cause you know, everyone's going to say, well, well,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: who are you going to spy him with? And who's
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: going to be the guy who.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Spies on every play?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And the answer is you can't just have one guy
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: because that makes you way too predictable.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: But how do you defend that? How do you, how
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: do you balance?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: You want to keep him from running the ball, but
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: also you can't just say, well, We're going to do
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: everything we can to keep him in the pocket and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: then make him beat you with your.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Arm because this is a guy who can probably beat
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: you with his arm.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: You get a TRO and bring Arbel Reese back.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: But anyway, go ahead and jump. That's your solution for everything.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: You'll win the court to bring back football players.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: He was certainly a cheat code for a spy when
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: you needed one. Is Christian Allegro in that role quite
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: a bit? Can he handle that role? You know, I
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: think he can. I don't think you could against DeMond
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Williams like you saw Aravel, but I think you can
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: against Arch, but he's going to get his, and I'm
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: pretty certain of that. Arch is a guy that is
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: a big, strong, physical running quarterback.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: His thighs are massive. He's a tough dude to bring down.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody will point to the big hit he took
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: against Ohio State and laugh about it, but he is
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: one heck of a football runner, and I think that'll
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: be a decent part of their game plan. particularly if
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: things aren't going great through the air or with the
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: running game. One of the two, we're going to activate
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Arch in that run game. And it could potentially be
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: the difference in the game.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I think it would be better for Ohio State if
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: those runs that he picks up a first down, it
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: happened on first down instead of third down. Then he's
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: like so frustrating. He reset the chains. Because that was
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the Miami game last year. Are you kidding? You picked
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: up by three inches again.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And it's a frustrating thing. And this one, it's like, well,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: you know, first and ten, he picks up 11 yards.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: It is what it is. Just stop him on third
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: down once you get there. I think he's a weapon
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: in the running game, and that might be how they
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: get their running game. It's like with Bryce Underwood. They
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: need to run him this week to get the offense moving.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I think you're putting an awful lot of Arch Manning
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: on Arch Manning, though, if you're asking him to be.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: a guy that's going to carry the line, I don't know,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: 10 times. Is this one of those JT Barrett games
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: where it's 16, 18 carries Will Howard against Notre Dame
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: or whatever, when he had like 16 carries or whatever,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: where it's just by any means necessary. Let's get this one.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Take a break after this. Arch Manning has to give
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: it his all in this one. And I think he's
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: willing to do that.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Well, and there's been a lot of commentary in the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: chat about there's, we've got a nice lively back and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: forth between Ohio state fans and Texas fans watching you.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: I'm watching you. It's been respectful so far.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Here as well.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Let's keep it. Yeah.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Yes. But it's, it's a, now I forget where I
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: was going. I lectured the, I lectured the audience.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Arch Manning.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: You were saying he's no good.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: It's not, I don't think exactly what I was, what
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I was saying, but what's on the line. Cause there
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: was some talk that, you know, if, if Texas doesn't win,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: then oh boy, Sark's going to have some heat.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I think if Texas misses the playoff this year, Sark's
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: going to probably face some heat.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's getting fired or not, but,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: They have given him all of the resources, you know,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the old Bill Parcells, you want.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Me to cook dinner, you don't want to let me
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: shop for the groceries. They went to Whole Foods, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: they got the good stuff this offseason.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: And, you know, that's not, this is not to say
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Ohio State did not also shop at Whole Foods. Don't worry,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: these are two very well-stocked rosters and two well-compensated rosters.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: But this is, you're kind of running out of excuses
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: for Sark, where he got to the college football playoff
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: semifinals back to back years.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: That's impressive. That's really impressive. Lost both of those games.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: But fan bases also get impatient where it feels like, oh,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: you've kind of hit the ceiling. And the expectations in
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Texas are not, well, you have a good season every
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: few years. No, the expectation in Texas is win the
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: national championship. Now, they don't win the national championship very often,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: but that's one of the places where that doesn't really
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: change the expectation at all.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is not Texas A & M where they're
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: happy with eight wins.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: This is Texas.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Where it's real, real football.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Look at Tony playing both sides here. Austin, Texas.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Cheap hop. But, yeah, with the expectations on Sark and
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: the expectations on Ryan Day, it's not going to go
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: well for Ryan Day if they don't make the playoffs. Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: And for that to happen, for Ohio State to not
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: make it, you're talking three losses.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: At least.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yes. I don't even know. It's been a while since
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Ohio State had three losses in the regular season. to
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: lose something, would that be– 2011, I think. Yeah, Luke Fickle, 2011,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: to give you an idea. So this is not something
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: that happens.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And before that, it was 2004. I mean, so it's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: twice in 21 years.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a thing that people are accustomed to.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: So then there's certainly some worry and some consternation. But, again,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: the loser of this game has not lost three games.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: They've lost one game, and the winner might be number
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: one at the end of this.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is– what's interesting is last year
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: we had the talk that the team that won was
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: functionally in the college football playoff. Because you looked at
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the rest of their schedule, it's like you're going to
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: lose– you might lose a game or two, but when
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: you have a win this big, you're probably in. And
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I think that's probably true here as well, where the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: winner of this game would have to really work pretty
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: hard to not make the playoff. I mean, they have
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: lots of losable games, but if you have this as
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: a win– and you just go three and three on
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: your next six best games, you're probably still in the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: playoff based on this win.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: And I said the winner of this game might be
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: ranked number one. I understand Ohio State is still ranked
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: number one.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: And if they win, they're not going to drop, unless
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: this is Kirk Herbstreit's ballot from 2010 when they beat
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Arkansas and he dropped them six spots. But if Texas,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: what are they ranked, fourth?
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Fourth, yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: If they beat the number one team at home?
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: That's the best win anyone's had in the country. So
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: you move them.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: You think it's better than what Indiana's gotten? Indiana. Chuck,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: you think that's better than what Indiana's gotten?
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Miami had a pretty big win Thursday night or Friday,
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Thursday night.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: So, yeah. Yeah, fam, you.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: You know, I got to say, while I agree that, well,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: number one, Ohio State, no, it's been forever and a
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: day since they lost three games. But I think there
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: has to be something that starts entering– The mind here
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: is we look at the new expanded Big Ten and
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: not just the expanded Big Ten, but the number of
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: teams that are now jumping in on football and investing
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: on football. The schedules just look much more daunting now.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: We might be talking about three losses as the new
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: two losses in a couple of years from now. But
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: this team right now, if Ohio State goes down here,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: wins this game, massive win. And I think there are
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: a couple different avenues where with three losses, you still
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: get in. And Texas, of course, beating number one. That
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: would be huge. Losing to number one in a close game,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: not so bad. But Sark losing three in a row
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: to Ohio State is going to infuriate this fan base.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: When you look at his big wins, 2023 at Alabama,
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: and then Clemson in the playoffs, Arizona State in the playoffs,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: that's kind of it. They're looking for a big top-tier win.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: That Alabama-wise one, they haven't really seen one since then.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: They want to see him knock off one of the
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: big dogs. This is his third opportunity with Ohio State.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: He is currently 0-5 against Ohio State and Georgia. Hasn't
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: scored a touchdown in the first quarter of any of
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: those games. And they want to see it from him.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: So I think it is going to be a pretty
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: big deal if they lose again to Ohio State and
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: fall to 0-6 to what were the two pre-end programs.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Not so sure if you can say that right now
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: about Georgia.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: But tough break, man, if that happens.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: But then imagine Ohio State and Texas playing in the
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: playoffs and you're facing down four losses in a row
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: to Ohio State. The pressure that would be on you there.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: You make the playoffs and you still get in trouble
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: for doing that. But in terms of the Ohio State
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: schedule being much more difficult, you're talking about an Ohio
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: State that just in conference play has played, what, three
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: teams that have played for a national championship before. in
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: the last four years, and that's not including Oregon. You're
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: talking Washington, Michigan, Indiana. Did Urban Meyer ever have to
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: do that in the Big Ten? No, he never had
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: to play single, not even one. Jim Trestle, not even one.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: And this is the norm now, and this is a
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: much different Big Ten. And then, you know, Ohio State
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: plays that extra game. You've got a nine-game schedule as well. So, yeah, like,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: you're right. Three losses now is two losses back then,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: and maybe sometimes, depending on the schedule, one loss.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you go back to 2018, Ohio State missed
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: a four-team playoff with one loss. But when you lose
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to a six-and-six Purdue team by four touchdowns, give or take,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: that'll do it.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: You have the right one loss, that'll do it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: 2017, they had two losses.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: One of them was to Oklahoma, who made the playoffs.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: But then they lost by 20-something points at Iowa. And
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: that was kind of Texas last year where, you know,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: all the Texas fans are saying, well, if they hadn't
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: scheduled Ohio State, the answer is if you hadn't lost
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: to a four-win Florida team.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: That would have changed a whole lot of things around
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: that conversation.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Or even looked good in that loss. And maybe there's
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: a discussion.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So we're going to get to some of
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: our start about eight or 10 of the comments and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: questions here. If you want to stretch it out, they
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: want to jump to the front of the line.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: You can throw us a super chat and they can,
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: that jumps you to the front of the line.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Our good friend Sue wants to know what percentage of
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the crowd will be Buckeyes. I saw that Ohio state
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: got between 3,500 and 4,000 tickets, which is they got
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the same number this year that Texas got in Ohio
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: stadium last year. There will be more Buckeyes in the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: stadium than that. But, If it's, what is it, seat 90,000,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: give or take, something like that?
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, is it 103? Okay. How many Buckeye fans are
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: there Saturday night? Is it 10%? Is it 15%? Is
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: it more than that?
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: 10%, right? I was thinking 10,000. I don't know what
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: that is percentage-wise for 100,000.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: So from the Ohio State point of view, I don't
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: feel this is like a must-go-see, must-go-travel-to.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: When you look at the schedule, there's quite a few
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: of them. One of them is a lot closer to home.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Indiana and then you got the Oregon game you could
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: also I just don't know if this one is drawing
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: that kind of interest to want to travel from Ohio
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: down to Texas so I will say I saw quite
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: a few today yeah which is pretty cool yeah and
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: but and the other thing that might there's a couple other.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Things that might be working against a huge Ohio State
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: turnout one is the forecast there's been a lot of
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: conversation about the fact that it's probably not going to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: be the most pleasant day to be outside tomorrow in
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Austin and the other thing is it ain't cheap this
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: is This is a, you know, there's a lot of
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: games that are going to be on this Ohio State
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: schedule that people are going to want to see. There are,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: you know, there was a point this week when I
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: think the get-in price was around $ 600, something like that. And,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: you know, if you want a seat that is better
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: than the get-in price seat, you're looking at something in
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the four digits. And, you know, Ohio State's traveling to
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: USC this year. Ohio State's traveling to Indiana this year.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Ohio State's got Oregon coming to town. Ohio State's got
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Michigan coming to town.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: You've got the postseason as well that people are thinking about.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and... As we've seen in the last few years,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: that can be you buy a ticket for a home game,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: and then you have to fly across the country to
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl. Then you have to fly back across
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the country to the Cotton Bowl. And then you have
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: to fly across the country to the National Championship game.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: So even if you had a ticket for this, you
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: might be like, you know what? I'm going to sell
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: that so that I can fund something else. Yeah, and
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: we had members on our site. We should plug our site,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: by the way, BuckeyeInsiders.com. You can find us there, have
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: a really fun community. We actually have a live event
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: happening right after this. If you are in Austin and
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: want to come hang out with us tonight, You have
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: to sign up at BuckeyeInsiders.com and then find the Texas
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: roll call thread on our message board, our member message board,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: and all the information about.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Tonight's live event in Austin.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: But this is a, you know, this is a, we
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: saw people on the board talking about the fact that, like,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: even people who had tickets were saying, well, I'm going
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: to go down there, but I only am going to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: spend so much money because there are so many other
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: big games. Unless you you know, unless you happen to be,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: you know, Rockefeller of some sort.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Dynamite reference.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: It is a, from the Adobe.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: For those of us whose last name is, it doesn't
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: happen to be Rockefeller from the Adobe, the little car
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: made out of clay.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Another timely reference.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: The most timely.
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Uh, I do think there is a limit to how
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: many people are really good. There's plenty of Buckeyes down here,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: but even they have to figure out what they're going
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: to spend the money on.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: It's not 2006.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of options for a massive game
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: to see your Buckeyes play. But for the fellas up north,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: $ 60 tickets for the Oklahoma.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Game or something.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, the bandwagon has emptied quickly, even at 1-0 asterisk.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: The bandwagon has.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Well, and the 100,000-seat streak, which is another asterisk, because
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: if you remember the 2014 Maryland game, uh-huh, sure, uh-huh,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: that's probably in mortal danger this year.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Do you think if Michigan loses to Ugly some point
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: next week, it's buy two Diet Cokes, get a ticket?
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: You might be back in the battle days of Brady
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Hoke and Dave Brandon pretty soon.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that could get real gross.
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: But the line for that game is only what five
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: and a half, six points, which we were saying.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Earlier, six and a half, six.
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: So it's moved.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: It's moved to full point. It's still not a touchdown.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: That is, that is a, somebody knows something.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Line to me. Yeah.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Cause everybody's going, what's going on.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Pound of Michigan.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: It's all I'm hearing.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: It's not moving much.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Uh, B official super chat says, it seems like people
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: think that since Arch Manning has Cam Coleman, that their
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: chemistry will be better than Julian and JJ.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: What do you guys think?
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: No way. No way. The chemistry we saw between JJ and,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: And saying last week was different than we've seen.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was so automatic. Right out of his brain.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Every time, it just looked like, how do you stop that?
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how Texas stops that.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Some of the shorter stuff, it's just like, that's unstoppable
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: right there.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: It's three yards. And now he's got the ball in
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: his hands, and now what's he going to do?
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: And no, I don't.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Think that that's going to be anywhere close between arch
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: and pullman and i don't.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Think they utilize in that way i don't think that's
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: how we see him utilize i think that'll be more
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: of a a wingo kind of you might see him
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: with wingo on that shorter automatic stuff that that jj
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: and san seems so in sync with to me but
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: uh No, I definitely think that that advantage is to
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: the Buckeyes there.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: You know, we saw in camp the first three days
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: we were there, where anytime there's a miscommunication between Sayan
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: and Jeremiah, Ryan Day pulled them aside, and they talked,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: and they got together, and they talked. What did you see?
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: What did you see? Because they want this stuff precise,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: and you saw something outside of that first pass of
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: the game to Jeremiah. Like, there was precision there, and
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: they've worked on that, and they've been around longer now.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Cam Coleman... Now, how precise do you need to be?
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Not as, but still. He's not an area code receiver,
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: but he's a zip code receiver.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: But still, all of this stuff is still, like, you
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: need to be on this yard line because somebody else
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: is over here. And if you're too far this way
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: and you bring a defender into this, now you've got
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: too many guys that could get the ball. So there's
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: still angles and things like that that they have to
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: be precise on.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: 45 minutes?
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: Friends?
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Let's settle in for a nice long.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Settle in? How about we come back?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be back.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so apparently they're running late. We've been told 45 minutes.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Did they stop at Whataburger?
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they did stop. So great news. We have more
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: time to talk to you about college football, which is
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: our very favorite thing to talk to you about.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Throw some questions in the chat.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, throw some questions in the chat. Like questions, not comments,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: not arguing. Throw questions in there. We got lots of
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: time for you to talk to you. Here's a question
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: from our buddy Murphy. one of the newest members at
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Buckeye insiders.com. Thank you for your support. He wants to
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: know if the sub zero uniforms are confirmed for this game.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I have not seen any confirmation and they put out
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: a graphic earlier in the week that had Peyton Pierce
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: wearing what sure looked like the traditional gray pants.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: But it's black and white. So you can't really tell.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't really tell, but it sure looked like
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: he was in the, in the sort of, traditional uniform.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: I would prefer to see traditional uniforms in this game
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: for both teams because I like Texas. I like all
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: of their uniforms. So I don't know. What do you think?
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: You look like you've got something to say. I don't
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: think it's happening.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: No, I don't. I don't.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: That's my opinion. Definitely not confirmed. That's for sure. But
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: I am with you when there's a big time matchup.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: I do like to see traditional sets. I'm not a
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: curmudgeon when it comes to alts. And certainly when they
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: went out to Oregon wearing the wearing all whites i
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: thought was awesome but when you talk about two classic
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: blue bloods like that's that's a matchup i like to
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: see the traditional yeah we're talking texas not oregon right
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: like real football i don't even know what oregon's uniforms
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: are you said pick one which is it yeah what
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: is it green or is it yellow is that what
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: is the typical the standard they're just green on white
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: i don't know what it's like if they're if you're
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: to say like which is their one uniform like what's
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: their major i.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Don't know no um I don't mind the alts either.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: I've even liked all of the– I'd say most of
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: the ones against Michigan back in the day. They eventually
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: grow on you. I like some of the colors and
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: some of the helmets I thought also can pop. But
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: I'm still waiting for home uniforms against Ohio State and Michigan,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: both teams wearing home uniforms.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: You've got to go color on color.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one thing I'm waiting on. I liked
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: a little bit of what Notre Dame and Wisconsin did,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: but it was just– it was also too much because
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: you can't see the numbers and it's terrible, especially from
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: the press box. You're going to, you're going to hate
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: it when you see stuff like that. Like the black uniforms,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: you can't see the numbers. There's just little things like that,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: that annoy me that people don't care about. And it's,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: you know, is that right? No, it's not right.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: They should care what I think with these latest set
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: of all uniforms. What I love about them is it's really,
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: it's the same uniform. It's just, we're changing the color and,
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: you know, to be able to mix those up. Kind
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: of like when I look at the Browns uniforms, you know,
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: they have the three different colored pants.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Right. Right.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: It doesn't bother me one bit.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Going off the reservation to those one-off alts, sometimes at
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: times they aggravated me when they were a little too.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: They were a tribute.
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: But sometimes they were just a little too, I don't.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: Know, for a lot of people who are kind of
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: like uniformed traditionals like me.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: But these ones don't bother me at all as a
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: guy who's kind of a uniformed traditionals. I love it
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: when they kind of mix it up.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: But not for Texans. However.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: going color on color in the Ohio state Michigan game
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: is something that happened long ago. So that is tradition
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: to go ahead and do that again. And I would
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: love to see it. Obviously USC, UCLA is beautiful. I
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: think Ohio state Michigan would be just as good looking.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: I will also add, Gene Smith said that was just
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: a one-time thing with the all uniforms against Michigan.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: So, and then what happened?
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Well, then they did it another one time and then
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: like three other one-time things, but it's not like they
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: were doing two uniforms at the same time. So it
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: was a one time thing. of this particular uniform. They've
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: never worn those uniforms since. So who's laughing now? Yes.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: My, my general opinion on all of this has reached
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the point of, I've reached the point of acceptance on
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: these stages of grief with the Ohio state alternate uniforms,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: where as long as they don't blight the Michigan game
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: with them, like that's fine.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: You want to, whatever you want to want. Oh no. Well,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: it looks stupid. If you're wearing a stupid uniform against Oregon. Wow.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: What, what would that look like? Crazy uniforms on the
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: field with Oregon, like wearing.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: A crazy uniform against Oregon is like, going to a
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: karaoke bar and singing karaoke. That's what I'm here for.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Everybody's singing. I'm going to get up to sing Islands
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: on the stream.
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: You see what I look like. They start playing Sweet Caroline.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: What am I going to do?
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Stop.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Can't stop.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Won't stop.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: Won't stop.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Terry says Texas gave up 12 tackles for loss against
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Texas State.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: Buckeyes gave up six to Ball State. Can we glean
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: anything from that?
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I remember it being eight tackles for loss. For Ball State?
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: For Texas State. Which is still a lot.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: They had 10 rushing plays that were no gain or loss,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I believe.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: And I don't think they have any sacks. I mean,
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: it's probably whether, whatever it.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Is, it may have been eight in the first three quarters.
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: Maybe. Yeah. Which then at that point, it's still a lot.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: It's still, it's still a lot. What do you, what
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: do you make of that?
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Other than I have questions about offensive lines on both
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: sides of this game.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Which I think is kind of, we started the show
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: a little bit with that. Yeah.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: I do have questions, particularly about the interior of the
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Texas offensive line. And I think that there's a chance
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: we could see what I gleaned from it. We could
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: see James Smith and Andrew Houston and John Walker do
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: some damage is what I think.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Well, especially Texas's biggest question. Ohio state has questions at
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: the tackle spots. Texas's biggest question in the offensive line
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: by a mile, I think is that left guard spot.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: And that feels like, you see a lot of James
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Smith and Edward Houston over there. That tends to be
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: where those guys line up. This could be a really
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: big game for the three-tech spot for Ohio State. But
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: if it's not, is that a problem?
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: Well, no.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, it just depends on what everybody else does.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: But if it is, like if James Smith or Edward
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Houston have a big game, and I'm still waiting, are
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: we going to see the penny front with both of
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: those guys in there maybe? And John Walker, the wrecker,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: that nose tackle, then whether that's Kwe Russo and Kenyatta
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Jackson out on the edges. I don't know that we
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: saw much of the penny front in that regard, but
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: can then Peyton Pierce be Sonny Stiles in that and
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: fill the one gap that is freed from that or
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: stop the running back coming through there? The reason that
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: was able to work was because Sonny Stiles cleaned stuff up.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: If it got to him, it didn't always get to him,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: but I think you have the opportunity to play some
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: of these defensive linemen, and we know they're going to
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: play more But, yeah, it'll be interesting to see. Can
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: James Smith and Edgar Houston and John Walker and Will
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Smith as well. But we saw John Walker, like, really
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: collapsing things a few times. We saw James Smith getting
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: into the backfield a few times. Still waiting for Edgar
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Houston to have one of those games where it's like, okay,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: he has arrived. But if they can get something out
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: of one of those guys, it's one of the things
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: we've talked about, both of us have talked about, in
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: terms of does Ohio State need a defensive tackle to
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: be a star this year? Do they need a defensive
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: tackle to be a star in this game?
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: And one of the X factors in this game is
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Quay Rousseau, who did not play last week.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: He came over.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: He was one of the transfers like James Smith came
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: up from Alabama this offseason. James Smith, we have seen,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: you know, we've been hearing about both of those guys
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: all offseason. James Smith, you started to see it last week.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Quay Rousseau, he feels like he's not like the traditional
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: defensive end, but he's also not a linebacker. He's kind
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: of sort of an in-between guy. And my assumption has
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: always been he'll be in that third down, third and
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: long rush man package, and you'll see him in those
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: kinds of situations. But would it surprise you if it's
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: first and 10 and you saw Quay Rousseau out.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: There on Saturday night?
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: I think that there's a lot of different things that
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: we could see that would be like, well, we wouldn't
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: have thought of that.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: But I guess it works, right?
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: And I think we could see something interesting work like
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: that with Quay Rousseau, who Texas hasn't seen since he
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: was at Bama.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: But a bit of a different role here for him
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: than he was with Bama.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Playing that, what the heck is the wolf position that
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: they have over there, which is a bit different than
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: what he's supposedly going to be doing with Ohio State. And,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: you know, we saw the third down packages with Kari
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: Wilder coming in. And you get Kari and a guy
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: like Quay in there together. I mean, that's some serious speed.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: Quay's got some real power. speed combo. Not going to
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: be a great guy in the run game setting the edge.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: That's not what he's going to be for, but to
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: bring him in.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: On some pass rush situations, to try to manufacture some
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: pressure on arch, if you're not getting it, or even
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: if you start right off the rip with it, either way,
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: you've got to find a way to bring that pressure somehow.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: And I'm wondering if there's any thought that, well, if
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Texas State can contain the run, Quay Russo should be
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: able to play and contain the run. But I don't
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: know that he's done a lot of that. He himself says,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: I'm a pass rush specialist, and I'm the Jack linebacker
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: in the Oki front, which is the five-man front with
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: the linebackers out there. But how much of this has
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: he done in terms of, I am a run-first defender
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: on this. And if he's not, if he's immediately just
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: still going after the pass, or does that leave something
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: open in terms of, well, there goes that long run
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: that we were talking about because he lost leverage or
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: he didn't set the edge or he went too wide
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: and left room for a cutback. So I'm interested to
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: see what he does. I think it's going to be
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: pass rushing for him, but also if it's not, what
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: does that say about Bo Atkinson and Zion Grady?
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's, it'd be interesting.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Cause yeah, that's been a spot where we've thought we
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: had a good grip on what was happening. And then it,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: you know, Just when you think I have the answer,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: they keep changing the questions. That feels like that's been
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: the defensive ends for a little bit this season.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: Lou says, to be honest, Texas is supposed to win.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: Spent a lot of money in the portal at all positions.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: OSU is young.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: If not now, then when? We officially put the Sark
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: on the hot seat tomorrow. We talk about the Sark
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: piece of this, but I understand that. Ohio State's number
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: one in the nation, so it's not like this is
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: a team that's coming in here that's got aspirations of
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: playing in.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: The bad boy mowers bowl.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: But this does feel a little bit like everything's sort
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: of aligned for Texas this year. In the same way
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: that you sort of feel like it's aligned for Oregon
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: this year, where I think it is fair to ask
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: the if-not-now-when question.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Well, the only reason Ohio State's number one and not
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Texas is the trust factor for Ryan Nitt.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Other than that, we're just looking at all the.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Advantages that Texas has this year.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: They got the high-end, the pile of guys that could
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: be drafted in the top 15. They got the experienced
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: veteran quarterback. They've got all the toys that they wanted
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: that they brought in. And the fact that they have
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: a coach that's voters, people in general, the public, that
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: represents the general public, don't trust him as much, that's
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: the reason they're not number one, in my opinion.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Who's two and three? Is Georgia in there? So Georgia's
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: just moved up to number two, Notre Dame number three.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: And so....
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because Oregon took a tumble last week.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: But at Oregon, were they number two to start out
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: in the preseason?
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: I think they were, and I think they went drop
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: to five or six.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: And I think that's as much a Dante Moore over
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning and Steve Sarkeesian thing, but it's interesting, like,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Even Dan Lanning gets the benefit of the doubt more
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: than Steve Sarkeesian. But also, with Oregon, I don't think
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: enough people pay attention. And so they just, you know,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: it is what it is. Right. There's no stakes for losing.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: They're shiny, so they're fine. I'm distracted by the shininess
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: of Dan Lanning. And so, of course, he's great. I mean,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: how many national championships has he won? Like six?
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: Well, he won a couple at did he win any
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: at Georgia?
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: He did, right?
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: He won it. He won it. He won it.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: He won it as a DC at Georgia, but yeah, not, not,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: not yet.
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: We regret the error.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Speaking of DCs, let's talk for a minute about Will
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Muschamp because Ohio state has a new offensive coordinator. Texas
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: has a new defensive coordinator in Will Muschamp. And, you know,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: we've talked about how Texas has defended Jeremiah Smith the
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: last couple of years, and it's worked in terms of
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: limiting Jeremiah Smith, but they haven't won either of the
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: games yet.
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: But neither of those is really on the defense either.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: So does Will Muschamp kind of continue the Pete Butkowski approach?
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Because it seems like that would sort of go against
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: what he's traditionally done. And if you made a change,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: it feels like that might be indicative of you want
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: to do something different.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: I'm leaning towards this does not look like what they
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: did with Butkowski.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: It's not Muschamp. He's an agent of chaos. He's a
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: man guy.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: And it just doesn't feel to me like he's going
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: to switch things up because of this one guy. He's very, boy,
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: I'm deep, deep diving here, but a really prideful guy
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: like Coach Boom.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Like, this is how we do it. We're going to
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: do it our way. And I just I just don't
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: think that we're going to see that. And Steve Sarkeesian
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: has brought him in to be that.
• 53:58
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: He's going to bring him in to be somebody else.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: So it's like, do what you do. Come on in.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: And it's been a while since that has worked for him, though.
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: I don't have a great deal of confidence. It was surprising.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and what's interesting is you get really high
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: variance when you get into, you want to get a
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: little more aggressive, like the George Costanza, you want to
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: get crazy.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: Let's get crazy.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Like that's, you get real high variance there because you
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: can hit big plays on offense. You can have a
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: turnover for a time. I mean, they had a scoop
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: and score touchdown last week against Texas state. They had
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: an interception against Texas state. You can get, that's, that's
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: where games swing hugely. I mean, go back two years
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: to the cotton bowl. Ohio state forces a stupid score
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: touchdown with Jack Sawyer and boom, all of a sudden
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: you go from Texas about to tie the game to
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Ohio state has a two touchdown lead.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: But I also think Ryan Biles is a guy who
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: was a chaos agent. So he is a shark in
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: those waters and he operates just fine. Football finds him.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: He finds the football and he's like, he likes a
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: party and Texas defense maybe, maybe as a party for him.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: And of course he's got some emotions going into this
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: game because he's from central Ohio and, Ohio State offers,
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: so I'm sure he's fired up about this one. He's
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: a guy that they can attack with. If they don't,
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: then they're not using him correctly.
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: Do we need to take one step that way?
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: We're going to take one step that way.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: I was getting dry.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: How about that? Does that work?
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: Rasheem Miles has no reason to be irritated about being
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: recruited by Ohio State.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Texas didn't recruit him either. No.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, he ended up at Pitt because he had
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: offers from, because he was a tweener and a guy
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: that had a ceiling and that's not, I mean, Ohio
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: State can't take all those guys.
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: There's way more of them than Ohio State can take.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And now he has had a heck of
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: a career at Pitt and earned a bigger role and
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: a bigger, you know, a bigger spot in the college
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: football pecking order.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Who was the last tweener that actually like worked out
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: for like Brendan White had some good moments and don't
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: say Sonny Stiles.
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: Is that because it goes against your point?
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: We all knew what he was going to be.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: That's true. He didn't feel like he always knew what
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: he was going to be.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: He said, I know I'll be eventually a linebacker once
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Jim Knowles gets done playing me at safety. But who
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: was the guy that signed with Northwestern and then transferred
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: to Ohio State and then like went back to Northwestern?
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: Another guy.
• 56:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: Nigel Glover.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: You know, you take a flyer because now you've got
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: more room and it's like, it didn't work.
• 56:29
  Speaker 8: So.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: And just for those of you who are just joining us,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: because I see our numbers picking up again, we are
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: waiting on the Buckeyes.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: They should be here in just a little bit.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: We are just kind of standing by, I'm guessing, 10
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: minutes or so at this point. I have lost track.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: I lost track of when we were told 45 minutes,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: but it was quite a while ago.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the original 45 minutes, we'd be hitting like in
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: four minutes. But then 15 minutes after that, we were
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: told another 45. Well, yeah.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: OK, so.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: We're standing by 15 to 45.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say within within 10 to 30 minutes
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: or so, give or take. Yeah, this is college football season.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Welcome to welcome to the unpredictably unpredictability.
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: You're regretting your decision.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: How are you enjoying your life? Life standing outside hotels?
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Is it as glamorous as you dreamed it would be?
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't trade it for the world, man. Who would
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: pass up this opportunity?
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, one of the things that makes it
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: nice is you know it's coming tomorrow and you're not
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: standing outside a hotel tomorrow. Unless something goes terribly wrong,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: you're not standing outside a hotel tomorrow afternoon.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: Fire alarm at three in the morning.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: We got on Tony's charm, got us on the field
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: at DKR. That wasn't like, everybody's allowed to come in
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: or if you have a credential, you can come in.
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: That was Tony Gurman schmoozing the guy.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: At the gate. Now, if this is not legal, please
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: don't put me out.
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: We did have our credentials. And I asked. Yeah.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Kyle wants to say, Kyle says nothing is truly known
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: about either team. They both kept it vanilla on purpose.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: We will know tomorrow. That's, I think that's a perfectly
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: reasonable take. That is in, in the, uh, Have they
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: taken don't suck world? That is not going to get
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: people real excited, but that might be the most honest
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: take about tomorrow's game that you could have. Because we
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: did score predictions, and I went back and forth four
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: or five times this week about which team I thought
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: was going to win.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Same. And earlier in the week, even leading up from
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: last week, I was expecting myself to take Texas just
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: because they should win. They're favored. It's at home. I
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: am a person who gives so much weight to the
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: home field advantage. Ohio State has Julian Sands, and that's
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: where I am right now. Julian Sands, Jeremiah Smith. Whether
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: they can run the ball or not, they haven't needed
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: to run the ball the last two times to beat Texas. Now,
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: I think they'll have to score more than they did
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: in the previous two games against Texas because I think
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Texas will score more. I don't think 14 points is
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: going to get this done. 28 should get it done.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: But that was only 21 from the offense. So 21
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: from the offense may or may not get it done.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: But if you want to throw a scoop and score
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: in there, I will go ahead and whoever gets the
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: scoop and score in this one, maybe go ahead and
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: chop them up as a winner. It might be the
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: same kind of percentage as the punt block, the 90%
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: win rate.
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the old Urban Meyer stat.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: If you block a punt, you win the game 90%
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: of the time.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: So this is going to be a Chris Henry game,
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: blocking that punt. It could be.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's someone that you feel like Chris Henry's
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: going to have an impact on this game one way
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: or another.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: I feel that way. I was looking at some of
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: the prop bets, and his His expectations were higher than
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: Brandon Ennis's in terms of, like, touchdown catch and things
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: like that. He's going to make an impact at some point,
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: and it wouldn't shock me if it's tonight. It won't
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: be tonight. It may be tomorrow night.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: Does it feel like specials of some sort might make
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: an impact? This will be our first big game since
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: Robbie Disher has entered into the full year. I think
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: he's been tasked with, you know, We're no longer going
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: to give away these special teams, these.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: Yards, these good yards. We're going to go ahead and
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: get after it.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: We're going to get after it in the return game
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: and get after it.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: All right. Awesome field goal kicker.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: Good luck, guys.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: How about this? Can I call my shot? You know
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: how Brandon Innes is back here on kickoff returns with
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Legend Bay? Brandon Innes can throw the ball. If one
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: of those kicks goes Brandon Innes' way or it's over
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: one side, he's going to go over there, and they've
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: got this call. They've got it ready. Texas, if you're watching,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: turn off and mute yourself. But Brandon Innes is going
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: to throw the ball back across the field to legend.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: We'll have some blocking set up for him.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: I'm glad the bold prediction show is over.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: I'm glad we're in the books. I like that one
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: a lot.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: And that requires a very specific set of circumstances and
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: the right point of the game. And you don't need
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: to do that if you're up 10 points. But if
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: you're down and it's late, yeah, maybe you're looking to
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: do something a little creative. Yeah, that's certainly an interesting suggestion.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: As much as we've talked about Legend Bay throwing the football.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: Brandon Innes was a high school quarterback.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: People keep wondering why Jock is staring off into the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: middle distance. That's where the team is going to be
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: coming from. So we're keeping an eye on... There's a
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: big bus. There's a big bus. They're going to come
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: more buses.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: If you see us looking off that way... That's why
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: we're keeping an eye on where the team is going
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: to be coming from. Doreen says, love being underdogs. And
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: that's something, Jeff, they don't get to do very often.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: It is fun.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: It's just not ever part of the discussion. But, yeah,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: being an underdog, what is it, the first time since
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: 23 or something? I think since the Michigan game in 2023.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah. It never happens.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: It's a lot more fun because it is so rare.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe the Missouri game because there's no pal McCord in
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: the team.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: I think they were still favored in that. I think
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: it was close.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: Please don't interrupt, John.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Lincoln Cain Hall is playing tonight, guys.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: Matter of fact. Playing tonight.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: We're going to get everybody to watch Lincoln tonight. Villanova.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Louisville Villanova. But I lost my train of thought.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: He does that to me, too.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: What were we talking about?
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, Doreen.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Doreen, yes. Underdogs.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Being an underdog. Yeah.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: Underdog.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: It's fun.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: I think the team likes it, too. You get that
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: level of disrespect, fires everybody up. But honestly, this game
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: to me is a coin flip game. Either way, whatever,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: the line doesn't really matter. It's a pick-em with one
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: and a half points, which is not even home field advantage.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: So essentially, they still think Ohio State's the better team,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: as do I. I think the Buckeyes are going to
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: win the game.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: Doreen also wants to know, is Juck on Bucs merch
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: vintage now?
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. Well, vintage is at least 25 years old.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: Got the right sleeve right there. Show him the right sleeve.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still there.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: He's still repping. Don't worry. Don't worry. He can multitask.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: Doreen made her own Juck on Bucks merch.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: Before there were any, but it still exists.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: Bootlegging.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: You should sue her.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Sitting outside the Juck concert selling bootleg t-shirts.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: I love it. I love it. New business bottle just dropped.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I remember I was at the first
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: three-peat parade at the for the chicago bowls and um
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: you know the the super fans were up there like
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: uh george went and whatever was up on stage and
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: they were saying make sure you buy the the three-peat
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: stuff from the bootleggers because pat riley had trademarked three-peat
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: so anything that was bought from the official shop was
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: he was going to get paid for it so make
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: sure you buy from the bootleggers and um make sure
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: you buy no don't make sure you buy from the
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: bootleggers buy from anybody But for Doreen, just to Venmo
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: him a little bit.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm going through the questions. Les says it's going
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: to be 118 degrees on the field tomorrow. You guys
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: are going to be gassed before halftime.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: I'll be fine. I'll be in the press box.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, these guys will be in the press box.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Tom, we're talking to. Tony and I will be in
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: the AC.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, brand-new press box has only been used
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: one time last week at the Texas State game. So
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: they broke it in, and now we get to experience
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: this plush, New press box, not a sideline view. It's
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: a catty corner view, which I'm told they're doing at
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: a lot of new stadiums now to keep those primo
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: seats for paying customers, which makes sense, but it gives
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: us a different view of the game, which is fine
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: because we've also got our computers to see the side view.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: And then we're looking out here. I kind of like it.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: We get multiple views. Yeah.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: But, yes, hydrates?
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, and you guys have seen me drinking lots of
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: electrolytes today. I have a big cup of water right
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: down there. We hit, I saw people talking about all
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: the different places we should go. We hit, we hit taco.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: We did not have our plan. A did not come
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: to fruition today.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: We're going to give that a shot tomorrow or B
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: or B plan.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: BBQ did not come to fruition today. We hit up
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite places, and this is a little
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: bit off radar. The, the South Texas folks will know
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: about taco Palenque. It is not a, it is not
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: a place that most people will have heard of. Cause
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: it is not in DFW at all. I think they
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: just got one in Houston. They had one star painted
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: on the wall. around Houston at the place we went to.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: But yes, it is.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: It's, it's fast food Mexican, but it is extremely good.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: So that is worth a worth exploring while you're here.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: We're hoping, planning to do barbecue tomorrow.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: That was, that was the plan today. And then it
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: pulled up to one place and went, well, we're not
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: waiting in that line and went to a different place. Well,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: we're not waiting in that line. This is ridiculous.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: The lights are on the block.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But, I guess that tells you it's good or
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: it's trendy or it's just a good slow service.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: Are you going to be like on the sideline tomorrow?
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: You're going to have like the IV, you're just going
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: to be taking it around with you.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: The meat sweats and the actual sweats all at the
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: same time.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: I'm going to, I really have to.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Hide the shoulder belts with the water bottles in there.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, like a Rambo belt, but instead of grenades,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: it's just going to be those little bottles of water.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I, We actually have to stop somewhere on our
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: way back to the hotel. I have something I need
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: to buy for tomorrow. Terry wants to know, is Texas
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: heat as humid as Ohio? It's not hot right now,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: and it was not as humid. It was hot, but
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: it was not as humid as it was at home.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: It's not super bad.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: First trip to Texas, I was expecting much drier heat.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: It was humid, not as humid as it is in
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: Ohio when it's this many degrees.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: But certainly it was a little sticky in the air, yeah.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: And it's like when you open the oven and you
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: just like, when you come out, like even if you're
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: in the car and somebody opens the door, it just
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: runs right in door.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: And then the wind picks up and it's like, Oh,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: now we're in a convection oven. Okay.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: That's good.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: It's 84 right now. The rain pulled some things down.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: The sun is down ish or behind some clouds.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: It is generally pretty pleasant out here. I'm not sure
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: we would have made it to an hour and a
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: half or an hour if it was what we what
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: we experienced if it was better planned well if we
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: had eight i don't fly the plane tony i don't
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: fly the planes uh with that attitude they the uh
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: we were on the field at dkr earlier and eight
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: minutes in i shot an eight minute video like a
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes walk around the field kind of video
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: and by the time that was eight and a half
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: minutes and by the time it was done it said
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: uh iphone needs to cool down it's like all right
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: well Guess the video is not going to go nine
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: and a half minutes. I think we're going to wrap
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: it up right now. So, yeah, it was toasty here earlier.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: Pleasant now.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to be pretty warm again tomorrow.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: Your iPhone turned into a hot apple pie?
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. Lou says, Arch is an anomaly. Throws a
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: great deep ball, but struggles with the short and medium throws.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: And that's really interesting because the stuff that you think
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: of is like, oh, well, you hit the easy things.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: You hit the crossers, that kind of stuff. He's like
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: 50% on crossing routes. What?
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Last year, he would just throw some stuff into the ground.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: I thought it was okay against Texas State. We'll see
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: more when there's more pressure. Last year, you couldn't trust
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: him to hit anybody, even with time. He just was off.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you've seen lately.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really have a beat on what I
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: think he's going to be this year. I think it's
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: going to be a different arch than we've seen before.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: But he's right to his point. That's kind of what
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: we saw towards the end of last year. where there
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: was certainly some good stuff. He's a great thrower of
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: the deep ball, which doesn't really put my mind at ease.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: But yeah, the shorter stuff, yeah, he has struggled with
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: for sure. The touch passes, he's not been great with.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: But all in all, when you add it all up
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: with the running and everything else, he's a really good quarterback.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to be even better this year. Yeah,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: there's no reason to think he's not going to progress
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: and be better this year. Still waiting to see that
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: number one pick. But quarterbacks get, and not even overhyped,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: they just get pushed up the rankings because they are quarterbacks.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: And I think The fact that he's a great draw
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: of the default and the fact that he can use
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: his legs and be a little bit of an agent
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: of chaos on the edge, extending plays or picking up
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: a first down, scramble drills, that's a lot to me
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: like the Will Muschamp, you know, boy, you're going to
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: have big plays one way or another.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: All of this increases the variance in this.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Game where you know, if it's just, well, you're going
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: to have to run the ball and you're going to
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: run the ball for four and a half yards to carry.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: Like I can tell you what's going to happen if
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: you're able to run the ball consistently, but not get
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: a bunch of huge plays when you're hitting potentially huge
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: plays on offense and also either hitting or giving up
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: huge plays on defense. That, that means you get, you
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: could have any number with, with the same basic teams,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: you could get a huge spectrum, broad spectrum of outcomes
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: in terms of, Oh, Texas wins by 10 Ohio state
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: wins by 14. It's a field goal at the gun.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: Like it, That, to me, makes this a really exciting
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: and interesting game.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: Are we giving scores yet? Well, we have time. We're
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: monitoring the situation. All right. We got a little more time.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: When the team is getting here, we'll start turning towards
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: the scores.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: No, I'm going to take your point because my score
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: is a little off the beaten path.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: Well, why don't you give your score right now? 45.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: So, I think the Buckeyes are going to win this
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: game 28-17.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: More than a 10-point win for Ohio State for a
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: lot of that reason. I think we're looking at some turnovers.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: I think we're looking at some variance. We're looking at
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: Ohio State clicking on all cylinders on the offensive side
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: of the ball for as much as you are going
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: to against the defense that's this good. And I think
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: the Buckeyes get it done handily in a game that
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: maybe Texas might even have to come up.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: To get to that 17. I was going to ask,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: is this a 28-10 or is this a 21-17 where
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Ohio State puts the nail in the coffin? I think
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: this is a secretive.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: Texas fan base watching this game. Ooh.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: Not good. We're at the fight getting out of there.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: The good news is the fans will be gone long
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: before we will.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll be around.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: And just so before we get into this next question,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: we'll give you a little bit of a heads up
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: on what's coming on Saturday. We're planning to drop a
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: segment we did at Whataburger. That will be coming out
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: on Saturday morning on our YouTube channel. Trying the famous
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: Texas hamburger chain. We're going to be at DKR.com. At
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: some point relatively early on Saturday afternoon. I cannot give
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: you a specific time yet, not because I'm being cagey.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: We don't know exactly when we're going to be able
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: to get into the stadium. As soon as we can
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: get into the stadium, we're going to be in the stadium,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: and we'll try and give you sort of an extended
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: run at a pregame show.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: I'll talk our way.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: Tony, we'll schmooze our way in. You heard it here first,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: or I guess second. First there and then second now.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, we'll see.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: Plan on– this would be a great time to remind you,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: number one, hit the thumbs up. Number two, if you
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: haven't left us, leave us a comment. If you haven't left.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: Us a comment, leave us a comment.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: And then number three, make sure you're subscribed to the
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: channel and you hit the bell and select, you know, hey,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: all notifications. Notify me every time they post something, every
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: time they go live.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: Because you do not want to miss the pregame show tomorrow.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: We'll be in DKR.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: You'll be a good sense for... what's going on there.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: I may try and shoot another behind the scenes video there.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Cause there are people who said, well, why didn't you
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: show us this? It's like, well, I didn't know that now. I,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: now I know what I'm looking for. Now I've been there.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: So I may do another one tomorrow. Maybe we'll drop
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: that in the pregame show tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so we'd make, that will be early Saturday
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: afternoon and then we'll probably go hour or two.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: We'll see. We'll see how the day goes.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: We'll see what our access is like as Chuck is
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: learning everything on the road and covering the.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: Teams is, well, it depends. We have a plan. As
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: they say, college football media has plans and then God, God,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: you make plans and then God laughs.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: That's how the, that's how the old saying goes. Shane
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: Falco says, will Matty P earn his money in this one?
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: This does feel just like a game where Matt Patricia
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: is going to have to be a little more creative
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: last year. You could kind of push the Arbel Reese
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: button and the sunny style button and the Caleb Downs
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: button this year.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: It feels like this is one where Matt Patricia is
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: going to have to be a little more creative.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, the whole season feels like this is a
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: Matt Patricia earn your money season.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: When we talk about the talent that you.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: Had last year, it was kind of just set it
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: and forget it with the lineup and then smother you
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: because everybody was in the right place every time and
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: good enough to get everything done with relative, you know,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: basic fronts. And now when we look at all the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: different packages that we're going to have to see to
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: kind of keep this defense elite, all the different looks
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: that he's going to have to give, We're going to
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: see more simulated pressure. It's just going to be a
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: lot more new stuff that we're not used to seeing.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: I think we just might see that right.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: Off the rip.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: It is going to be interesting because he has all
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: of these parts that he wants to utilize. It's a
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: different skill set. He spent all of these months figuring
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: out what these guys do, what they do best, how
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: he can make them part of the defense. If somebody
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: is good at something, That's what they did at New England.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: Let's get them to do that. And it's Ohio State's athletes,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: so they can do something. Now, how effective, we'll find out.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: Texas is still going to be blocking and all that
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: good stuff. But I'm looking forward to seeing a different–
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a different kind of defense. We'll
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: see if it's more attacking or whatever because you can
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: just play so much base and not be crazy with
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: the attacking defense. Last year. Here, I think they have
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: to do some more attacking and see what happens after that.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: And then maybe you call it back a little bit.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: But I think you have to be a little bit aggressive.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Josh wants to know if the team has arrived yet. No,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: that will be probably the end of the show when
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: the team arrives. We'll let you see the team arrive,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: let you hear from Ryan Day, and then we'll kind
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: of wrap it up at that point.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: You'll know the team is arriving by the smile on
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: Chuck's face that this show is almost done.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: They are going to be here probably in the next
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: 10 to 15 minutes. We got a text from the
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: OSU SIP that it probably sounds like they're about 10
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: minutes out now.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: So we are in the homestretch. Don't worry.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Geiger Lee wants to know if the Texas backup quarterback
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: has been tested. He played a little bit last week
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: and looked good, but not. He's been tested in the
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: same way Ohio State's backup quarterbacks have been tested, which
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: is no, not really interesting.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, so yeah.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: And RKA91 says, Ohio State's social media just posted white
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: jerseys and gray pants for tomorrow. So what we were
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: expecting is what's going to happen. There you go.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: Best away uniform in college football. Yeah, it's great.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: And I think once you get a couple Buckeye stickers
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: on the helmets, the helmets look a lot better.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: I think these are the two best away uniforms, Ohio
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: State and Texas.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Texas has them. I like Texas' home uniforms.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: I like Texas.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: This is a good uniform matchup, just the classic uniforms
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: for both of these guys. Shane Falco wants to know,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: if this comes down to special teams, how screwed is
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Ohio State?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: You know, they went and got Robbie Disher to clean
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: things up. They've got a kicker. They've got a consistent punter.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: It doesn't do anything special, but he does what they expect,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: so that's good. Not necessarily going to pin anybody back.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: with a 60-yarder or anything like that. He's not going
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: to flip the field. He's just going to get to
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: 40 yards with a fair catch, and you go from there.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: I'm interested to see what happens in the return game.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: I know nobody likes Brandon in his returning punts, but
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: as long as he catches the ball, though he put
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: it on the ground again with the return last week,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: but he's the most effective punt returner Iowa State has
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: had since Jalen Marshall in 2015. Now, when I say
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: most effective, we're still talking like 11 yards of return,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: but that tells you how The bar's not high. Things
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: have been. But are you going to put anybody back
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: there that you don't trust to catch the ball? Catching
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: the ball with the punts this week is the most
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: important thing. Returns, I don't really care about right now.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: This has been conversation on the board today over at
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: Buckeye Insiders where you can join us and get in
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: on that conversation. We have got this debate going on
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: with Brandon Innes. Should he be the guy returning punts?
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: And no, not the most dynamic guy. And I did
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: find it And I brought up how last year Ryan
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: Day was kind of getting pressed about, you know, three,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: four games into the season. Why is this Brandon's role?
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: Not a super dynamic athlete. Isn't really busted anything. Why
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: not give someone else a shot?
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: And Ryan Day.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: Talked about the trust factor. And then Washington was that
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: following Saturday. And he ended up with just three possessions
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: in the first half because B, I gave one up,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: which I don't know.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: If we've seen him lose one since to the other team.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: And he catches it. It's just the fumble when you're
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: returning is the issue.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: We'll just run through a couple questions here, talking about
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: the amount of fan support that Ohio State has on
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: any road game. Ohio State has the most bar and restaurants,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: you know, like game-wide bar and restaurants outside of Ohio
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: than any college, which is true. And I know the Austin,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: Texas Alumni Club has a weekend full of events planned.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: Daniel says, just sold my tickets to some Buckeyes. Hope
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: they enjoy the game because they paid very well. Yeah.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, that is, that is, it is the price
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: to get in. The price of the brick is the
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: price of the brick.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: And so you are not, you are not going to
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: get in cheap, but if you want to get in,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: you want to get in. Sue wants to know, are
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: all the guys healthy? So we have bits and pieces
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: of information, but we don't have, they're not next two
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: weeks from now when they're, when they're playing a big
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: 10 game, They will release an availability report on Wednesday,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: an availability report on Thursday, an availability report on Friday,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: and another one on Saturday. When they're not playing Big
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: Ten teams, they're not going to release. They do not
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: have to release, and they will not release any kind
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: of availability report. And we have already been told Ryan
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: Day is not going to talk about guys who are available,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: guys who are hurt, guys who are like, don't bother asking.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: So you're going to say, why didn't you ask about that?
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: We were specifically told he's not going to ask. So,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: you know, what was the, the Nick Saban line?
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you to stop asking.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: That's, that's essentially what we've been told on injuries, which
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: is fine. If that's the policy, that's the policy. that's
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: going to be, that's going to obviously change quite a
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: bit as you get into big 10 season, but that's
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: still a couple of weeks away. The Dooley fam says,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: I think Texas has better talent this year at almost
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: every position and OSU lost so much proven talent.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: Does this matter?
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: Does that matter?
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: That Ohio state has lost so much talent?
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've talked about this a little bit on
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: a podcast from yesterday that It does matter. You can
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: understand why the expectations are that Ohio State's defensively going
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: to struggle. Also, Ohio State has been recruiting very well.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: They've coached well. They've got two NFL head coaches, basically,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: as coordinators. Matt Patricia defensively, of course. These guys have
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: been learning from the guys that were here or have
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: been at Alabama and Florida State, big-time football. And then
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: you still have the returners, Jermaine Matthews, Devin Sanchez, Jalen McClain,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: Peyton Pierce, guys who have been out there playing. So, like,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: there's enough remnants there to still recognize everything as an
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: Ohio State defense. But, yeah, I mean, this is going
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: to be a step up in competition all over the
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: place for them. So I'm not expecting nine points per
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: game from the Buckeyes this year.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: I think there will be a step back. Does that
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: mean Texas can score twice as many points as they
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: did last week, last year against Ohio State? I mean,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: that's what they've done the last two games, 14 points.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: I'm just letting people know that the team is here
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: in just a minute. Just a minute. And you will
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: have to pull your microphone out.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's hop back into the live stream
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: real quick.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: How's it going?
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: Murphy wants to know what percent chance that Bryce Underwood
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: gets pulled in tomorrow's game? That's a fascinating question.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: Non-zero.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: Non-zero for sure.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: What percentage chance that Bryce Underwood gets pulled from the
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: Michigan game on Saturday against Oklahoma?
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's very high because I think if
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: you put Tommy Carr in in that situation, it means
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: things aren't going good and it could potentially.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: Do more damage.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: I think it might just take the L if you're
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: outwitting him in that circumstance. But what are the odds
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: that Bryce Underwood might play bad enough to get pulled?
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: I think they're about 75%.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. And also, like, what kind of
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: practice week has he had?
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: What kind of practice week has Tommy Carr had? Because
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: if Carr has not had a good week, you're not
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: going to put him out there.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: And he's a true freshman, and you're asking him to
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: go out there and try and figure out a Brent
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: Venables defense. That's not– that's probably not a winning formula
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: for you. Akron Kid says, I'm so happy we have
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: speedy Devin McEwen. That is– Of all the additions that
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: they've made to the portal this year, there are a
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: few that you could say that's the biggest one. But
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: I think he's certainly in that conversation.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 4: Now, I'm wondering if you guys are just going to.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: Not if you keep talking real loudly.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: No, I think Devin McKeown, been super impressed with him
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: in camp, wanted to see more from him following the
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: spring and into spring because we didn't see much from him.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: But then once we saw him in camp, it was like, okay,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: this guy's a legit dude. And then you see what
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: he does in one game as a Buckeye. Looks very good.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: catches the ball all over the place, can run any
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: kind of route that you want, is a viable receiver.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: Looks like an Ohio State receiver that we've seen playing
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: the position over the years.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: So I am feeling like a team is close enough
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to punch Juck's shot in here now.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: So we have a couple different angles here for you.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: I'm going to punch him in right there. So there
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 4: you go.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: You see on the right, that is what we're looking at.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: So when you see us staring off into the distance,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: that is now what we're staring at.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 4: Team should be coming in this way. In a matter
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 4: of minutes.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: So we're sort of standing by for that. Gerald Happiness says,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: Jock is the man, a great addition with Tony and.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: Tom. Well done. Well done there. Okay, I got that.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, Geiger Lee says, I like the bold prediction that
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: Tom made for a 50 plus yard field goal.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: Even if it's missed, but long enough, I will be happy.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: Ohio state has not made a 50 yard field goal
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: since 2019 against Northwestern, which is, I think a combination
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: of their kicking game has not been quite what it
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: probably should be, but also Ryan days as an offensive
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: guy tends to lean towards.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 4: I'd rather go for it on fourth and three.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: Uh, If I think the percentage chances of making it
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: are low enough, and he generally feels like you've got
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: better odds picking up on the first down, but they
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: have a couple legit kickers this year. Connor Hawkins, who
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: they brought over as a transfer from Baylor. Marcello Di Amiti,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: who they brought over as a transfer from Notre Dame.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: Di Amiti is the kickoff guy, but he also is the,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: if they have a real long field goal, which, you know,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's 50, but that might be 55, 58,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 4: You might see Marcello Di Amiti there.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah. I heard, I heard a siren. Now this
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: is always, this is kind of the version of fireworks
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: or gunshots. Is that our siren or is that a
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: different siren? There is a siren coming in the background there.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 4: So we'll see.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: If that is, if that's, if that is our siren.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: Dresher Dragon says, Devin Sanchez is going to have a
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: breakout game. He's highly motivated for this one.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He's been, this has been circled on the calendar. Yep.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: He's facing some NFL dudes and he's, he's talked it all.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: So now you've got to back it up. I mean,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: cornerbacks can talk all they want, but if you want
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: to be respected and appreciated as one of those guys,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: one of those dudes, you got to back it up.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: And he certainly believes he can do it. And, Until
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: we see him not do it, I'm going to believe
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: him too.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: Yep. So we're going to punch the– Tony and I
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: really quickly need to give our score predictions, and we
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: can save time because for the second week in a row,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: we predicted exactly the same score. Ohio State 27, Texas 24.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: I agree. Coach, you're here.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 8: How have you talked to the team? You used that
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 8: word villain a lot in the past. They love to
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 8: be the kind of enemy territory. How do you lead
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 8: up to this game and let them embrace that over
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 8: the next 24 hours?
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 6: A lot of guys here have played in some big
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 6: games like this. That's good. Some new guys going through
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 6: the process. It was a good flight here. We'll kind
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 6: of build up tomorrow. We've got a long day ahead
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 6: of us.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 7: What's the intrigue like when you play a big game
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 7: early in the season and you can think about it
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 7: for months and now you're here the night before?
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 6: It's a lot of preparation and now we've just got
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 6: to go play and trust our training. That's why you
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 6: get to play with confidence is because of all the
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 6: work that we put in. That's why we train the
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 6: way we do. That's why our preseason was physical the
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 6: way it was so that we can come down here
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 6: and go play. We got to play some depth in
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: the game, but we just got to keep swinging for
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 6: four quarters in this thing and come home with a victory.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: That's what I just said. We got to get back
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 6: on the plane with a victory. That's the number one
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: goal here.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 8: You have Arthur and Matt Patricia both on the sideline here.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 8: What was that like in game one to have both coordinators?
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: Not normal.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 8: How was that relationship?
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 9: It was good.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: It was really good just as a start, but like
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 6: I told all these guys, players, coaches, we're here to
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 6: win games like this when you come to Ohio State,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 6: so they're fired up to coaching this one. You've got
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 6: some true freshmen that got to play a lot, could
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 6: play big roles in this game.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: What do you think is going through their mind tonight,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: their first huge, huge college game?
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 4: Excited, fired up.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you can see the bounce in their step. So
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 6: can't play the game tonight, so we'll continue to prepare
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 6: and get ready and build up to tomorrow because, you know,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 6: you can't play the game in the morning either, you know,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: so it'll be 6.30 local time. But we're going to
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 6: keep Buckeye time, so we're going to play at 7.30
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 6: tomorrow night. So thanks, guys.
