00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Buckeye Weekly Podcast. I'm Tony

2
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Gerdaman here as always with Tom or Tom.

3
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 2>How's it going, Tony, Day two of Big ten media days,

4
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 2>and to say it has been a whirlwind pace today

5
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>would be a little bit of an understatement.

6
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, lots of stuff going on, some stuff going on

7
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 1>at the same time as other stuff. But we do

8
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>what we can. We try our best and sometimes do

9
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 1>we fall short. No, it's everybody else's faults.

10
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 2>The world has failed us in some ways, but in

11
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>other ways we have been able to overcome.

12
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>That's right, and that's a lot it's overcome. But you know,

13
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you face a little adversity in the summer. It sets

14
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you up for the season, but we will also face

15
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>adversity covering games.

16
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 3>But welcome everybody.

17
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>We have now finished talking with Ryan Day, talking with

18
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Julian's saying and Jayleen McLain and Jeremiah Smith.

19
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk.

20
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 1>About Ryan Day here right now, and Tom, I want

21
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you to try to guess. So Jeremiah Smith is have

22
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 1>many conversation with Mickey Muratti and Nick Coach Bick said, Hey,

23
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>do you know who the toughest player on the team is?

24
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>And Jeremiah is like, you know, thinking about it, it's

25
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>like who And then Mick told him. And then when

26
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Day was told this story and told this answer,

27
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>there was.

28
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Like, Okay, well I'm going to guess and I don't

29
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 2>think this is the same story. But I was in

30
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 2>the back for Jeremiah and for him talking about one thing,

31
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 2>and he he mentioned rock boyd oh, and in terms

32
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>of rock Boy, Well, you know what, we're gonna say that,

33
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Jeremias the show because you obviously are expecting a different answer,

34
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>So why don't you tell me the answer?

35
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Quarterback Julian's saying it.

36
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know what, if that's.

37
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>True, that's potentially a really big development because I know

38
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 2>I was there when Jeremiah spposed to talking about him

39
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>in some other contexts, and he talked about the fact

40
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 2>that he is ready to run more. I think they've

41
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 2>been training together during the off season, and you know

42
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 2>that it is very much I think an I Am

43
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the Tiger situation where this is potentially a contract year

44
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>for both of those guys, and I think both guys

45
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>recognize that both guys recognize they weren't that far from

46
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>winning it all last year, and you get a little

47
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>bit close. You know, you put it, you get yourself

48
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 2>a little bit closer, you may get the team a

49
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>little bit closer.

50
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, and they Mick has them training together or in

51
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 1>the workouts together.

52
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, in the weight room.

53
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 1>So you know, Julian obviously likes that because Jeremiah is

54
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>incredibly hard workers, so that was fun for him.

55
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, just.

56
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>The having that guy be whether you know, Nick is

57
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>blowing somebody up or what.

58
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 3>But it's like your quarterback.

59
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Being able to answer the call in those in those

60
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 1>ways then allows for them to do things in other

61
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>ways during the game when you know all of this,

62
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 1>all of the stuff you're doing off off of the

63
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 1>field applies on the field. So I thought that was

64
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>one interesting thing, the one thing that I was trying

65
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 1>to find out, and it was impossible, almost possible to

66
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>get a question in the offensive line and where is

67
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody wears Austin Sierveld wears In more time, they hope

68
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 1>to have that answer by about practice nine or ten.

69
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>So I have enough information that either Ian Moore could

70
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 1>do it, or Austin Sierveld should do it, or Josh

71
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Berdia needs to play, or you know, like they he

72
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>said they're gonna go with their best five, and they

73
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>need to know who that is by about practice nine

74
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 1>or ten, which is week two of practice, so that

75
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>you can so that you can begin getting ready for

76
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>game planning with your starting lineup.

77
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 2>And that's about the time that they typically will say

78
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>they want to have a starting quarterback as well. And

79
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I understand, and I do think there

80
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>is potentially some legitimate question here because Josh da the

81
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>fact that Josh Pvida wasn't practicing this spring means you

82
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>really have not seen the different permutations of this line

83
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>working together in a full practice set up, Like there's

84
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 2>certain stuff they can do this time of year, but

85
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 2>there's other stuff they're limited and they can't do, and

86
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 2>so you really haven't seen this in an eleven on

87
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>eleven situation. So I get it, and I think there

88
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>probably is a legitimate question at that. You know, there

89
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 2>are sometimes when we will be at Big ten media

90
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>days and they'll say, well, the quarterback competition still an

91
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>open question is like is it really because can I

92
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 2>bet on one of the outcomes? Because I think I

93
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 2>know that you're going to have this outcomings to be

94
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 2>able to announce it on about the.

95
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.240
<v Speaker 4>Tuesday of the third week. I bet I can get that.

96
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>This one feels like a little bit more of a

97
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>legitimate question.

98
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And rarely has the offensive line that has been

99
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the number one offensive line in the spring been the

100
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>exact offensive line over the past few years in fall camp.

101
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 1>And so this one, it's not a huge surprise. It's

102
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of you know, we've all been fantasy booking this thing,

103
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 1>but there wasn't there wasn't enough evidence in the spring

104
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 1>when Craveld and Philip Daniels are both out for two weeks,

105
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and Dean more you know he played, but this one

106
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>spring camp not to let you know that he's ready

107
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 1>to go.

108
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Options.

109
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is this is one of those would you

110
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 2>bet on it? Okay, would you bet your house on it? Like,

111
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot more than just a house at stake

112
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>with this Ohio State football season, in really every Ohio

113
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 2>State football season, because if you go out in the

114
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 2>first round of the playoff, well that's a very different

115
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of offseason for coaches, players, program donors, everything than

116
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 2>if you win the national champion him and so there

117
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>is a lot at stake this year and you look

118
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 2>at the schedule, and there's a lot at stake very

119
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>early in this season, and there's a lot at steak

120
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>in the middle part of the season. You don't have

121
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 2>the luxury as well. We'll figure it out, you know.

122
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Remember when Michigan had the quarterback battle, It's like, well,

123
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 2>we'll have one guy start one game and one guy

124
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.519
<v Speaker 2>start the second game, and then we'll sort of figure

125
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 2>it out from there.

126
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 4>They don't have the luxury that.

127
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 3>This year now. And you mentioned the schedule.

128
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>He said, this schedule is going to get them used

129
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to playing and accustomed to playing and comfortable playing into

130
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter in the playoffs. Should they win these games, Yeah,

131
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>these regular season games. And I believe there's an Iowa

132
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 1>reporter writer here asking Ryan, what do you remember about

133
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>that twenty seventeen game in Iowa City, And his quote

134
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 1>was like, I've wiped that from my mind.

135
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>He said, he said, quote that was really bad. And

136
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 2>he said, quote, I try not to remember that game.

137
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for bringing it up, Tony. I don't think he

138
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>really meant that last part.

139
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>No, And he the good news is he knows what

140
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to expect there. He knows that anything can happen, and

141
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>most of it is bad. But also that's just one

142
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 1>of the games. There's Texas, there's Indiana, usc SO, and

143
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that's just the road games.

144
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, and Jeremiah Smith when he was listing some of

145
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 2>the tough road games, the first three games he listed

146
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>were Texas, Indiana, and.

147
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.879
<v Speaker 4>Nebraska, and I thought, interesting, I don't think that would

148
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.360
<v Speaker 4>be the third game that most people would list.

149
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 2>But you know, the even even the potentially fifth toughest

150
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.279
<v Speaker 2>road game they have this year is no joke.

151
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 4>This is a very, very challenging schedule.

152
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 2>And that doesn't include the home games against Michigan and Oregon.

153
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, And so they're going to be well prepared

154
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>for the playoffs and and operating in those final moments

155
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that maybe didn't go so well last year for them.

156
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>And even even Julian I think Julian Saying talked a

157
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit about how it was that last year's schedule

158
00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 1>is easy.

159
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 3>He's like, well, let's just say what it is.

160
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Last year's schedule is easier than this year's schedule, and

161
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 1>so they will be more prepared. Doesn't mean they're gonna

162
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 1>win them all, but this won't be the first time

163
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 1>during an uh oh, we better come up or something

164
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 1>like they always go back to the two thousand and

165
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>two team which they were born uh oh uh huh,

166
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 1>and then we've got to deal with this, and like

167
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 1>every game was like that. So by the time you

168
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>get to Miami double overtime, it's like.

169
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that whole season was brought to you by Spaghettios

170
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>and they but they by the time they got to

171
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.079
<v Speaker 2>the end of the season, they had been playing in

172
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 2>those games all season long. Miami had like a close

173
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>game against Boston College that year and a close game

174
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 2>against Florida State, and that was kind of it. They

175
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>just kind of killed everyone else. So that was not

176
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.639
<v Speaker 2>and you know, that was a one game postseason at

177
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 2>that point, so they didn't even have a conference championship

178
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 2>game to prepare. It was just regular season BCS national title.

179
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that you can you can certainly make a

180
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 2>point that, yo, this will prepare them better for the playoff,

181
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 2>but also don't lose three of the games, because then

182
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:52.679
<v Speaker 2>you might not make the playoff.

183
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.879
<v Speaker 1>One one thing that Ryan day, he continues to be

184
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>asked about this, even though nothing has changed between this

185
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 1>bring and now in terms of pace of play. I

186
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>think people are just wanting a different answer. Yeah, to

187
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>say no, we're.

188
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 3>Going to go faster.

189
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 1>That's that's what are you sure you're stilln't And basically

190
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>he said what we've said in terms of you can't

191
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.440
<v Speaker 1>say it didn't work in twenty twenty four because the

192
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 1>pace of play was essentially the same between the two years.

193
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.919
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you can't say it didn't work in twenty

194
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:22.759
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, but you also can't say it did work

195
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty five. But what you can't do is

196
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 1>the easiest thing to do. And he said this about

197
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 1>something else and the loss is the easiest thing to

198
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 1>do is do nothing or change everything. Yeah, And instead

199
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 1>you've got to find what worthy issues. And as he

200
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 1>said in the spring, it's not about the pace of play,

201
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not about tempo. It's about efficiency. And I think

202
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 1>people are just like, no, it's about we want to

203
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.919
<v Speaker 1>see faster and seems like what the questions are, It's

204
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>like the answer is not going to change. They've not

205
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>played a game yet. They have not you know, had

206
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>sixty two snaps and lost to where now they're like, oh,

207
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>we better move faster.

208
00:09:55.960 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Yet, right, And it's something where people have made up

209
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 2>their mind that that was a cause of issue, and

210
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.200
<v Speaker 2>was it the cause of the issue.

211
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 4>It may have been, I can't tell you it wasn't.

212
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 2>But also I don't think you can definitively say, you know, hey,

213
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.879
<v Speaker 2>if if they had gone at the exact same pace

214
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>and Julian Sayan hadn't thrown that pick six, or if

215
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Julian Sayan's knee hadn't scraped the turf against Indiana, or

216
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>if Jaden Fielding hadn't missed the field goal, you could

217
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>play at the exact same pace and win the game.

218
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Now we've gone through the whole game theory thing, and

219
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you're a big favorite, you want to have,

220
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.759
<v Speaker 2>you want to maximize your number of players. You can

221
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.399
<v Speaker 2>build upon your you know, incremental advantage at each So

222
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 2>like I mean, I can certainly make the game theory

223
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 2>argument for playing with a little more tempo. But they

224
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.519
<v Speaker 2>have won with this, they have lost with this. This

225
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.559
<v Speaker 2>is not necessarily the single driving factor. It's certainly one

226
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>potential piece of this. And you know, I think Arthur

227
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Smith is probably going to come in and have his

228
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.799
<v Speaker 2>own thoughts on this, because yeah, he's done this at

229
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 2>a different level.

230
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 4>He's he has been in charge.

231
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Of you know, not just spring an but running full

232
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 2>NFL teams, so he's certainly going to have his own

233
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.279
<v Speaker 2>views as well.

234
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Last thing, Brian Day mentioned a particular position group that

235
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 1>he's definitely going to have his eye on.

236
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 4>I was there for this one.

237
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.279
<v Speaker 1>This season, and he talked about the running backs because

238
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>did not see Bo Jackson or Isaiah West in the spring.

239
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 1>And he mentioned something that we've talked about, which is

240
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the freshman running backs that the freshman thousand yard rushers like.

241
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 3>He didn't go to the detail, but he talked about JK.

242
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Dobbins outstanding as a freshman. Didn't want to call it

243
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>a sophomore slump, but he was a much different back

244
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:33.519
<v Speaker 1>three yards for carrying different back.

245
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 3>And what they can't have is for.

246
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Bo Jackson and Isaiah West to have a similar drop off.

247
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 1>They need to pick it up. You can't go up, down, up.

248
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 1>They need them this year to be cranking. And that's

249
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>why I said, I'm going to be watching that position.

250
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And you know, that was a position that he

251
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>talked about it being a little bit of a question

252
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.679
<v Speaker 2>in the spring and a question last summer. That was

253
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>a position where he had questions there as well. I

254
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.279
<v Speaker 2>don't think they've got a definitive answer there. I think

255
00:11:59.279 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 2>they've wanted to.

256
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 4>Pretend answers there.

257
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.559
<v Speaker 2>And he went through, you know, yeah, Bo you got you,

258
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>you have Isaiah, You've got you, Kobe Jackson, He talked

259
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 2>about Legend Bay.

260
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:08.919
<v Speaker 4>He mentioned Turbo Rogers.

261
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Those were the This is one of these things where

262
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 2>we pay attention to the names he says, and the

263
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.200
<v Speaker 2>order he says, the ben because that's generally a little

264
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 2>bit telling, and that was the order.

265
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 4>Fourth name was Legend Bay. He went into a little

266
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.120
<v Speaker 4>more detail on Legend Bay later.

267
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Legend Bay obviously missed some time in the spring healthy

268
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 2>this summer, so that's no longer a concern. The quote

269
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 2>was the talent is there for sure, you can't deny that.

270
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>But he later said, well, there's more to it than

271
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 2>just talent, Like you can be talented.

272
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:31.639
<v Speaker 4>That's great.

273
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.440
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't get you on the field, that doesn't get

274
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.759
<v Speaker 2>you carries. It means you're in the conversation. But they

275
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.879
<v Speaker 2>need him to kind of do all the other stuff.

276
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I wrote down the exact quote, but it

277
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 1>was something to the effect he added, when he's got

278
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the ball, you're gonna notice him.

279
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:45.360
<v Speaker 3>There was something to that there.

280
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.159
<v Speaker 2>There's no question that when you see the ball in

281
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 2>his hands, he's going to stick out.

282
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And so that's I think that's exciting for everybody.

283
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 1>So that's basically a wrap up of Ryan Day. We

284
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 1>will have much much more, as I said, and talk

285
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 1>to Jeremiah Smith, talk with Julian Sam, talk with Jaylen McLain,

286
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.639
<v Speaker 1>talking with other coaches Big ten coaches. We are throwing

287
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.240
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of stuff in the Buckeye Weekly Audio podcast

288
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 1>side of some of our recaps and thoughts and some

289
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 1>of the things that coaches are saying.

290
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 3>Some of it is definitely related to Ohio State.

291
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 1>So I would recommend if you have not yet checked
