1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: You are now listening to the Big Ten Paradigm podcast

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:08,480
here on the College Gridiron Coast to Coast Podcast Network.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,359
Please welcome in No A Drury's. We covered the Big

4
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:17,199
Ten throughout this whole entire twenty twenty five college football season.

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,719
Speaker 2: And welcome to the Big Ten Paradigm here. And there's

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,760
something we need to talk about here. As the music

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,200
continues to set in, Penn State football took one of

8
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,320
the worst losses not only a program can take. But

9
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:47,759
this is just not what I expected to happen this weekend.

10
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,200
And yeah, if you didn't see, on Saturday, UCLA beat

11
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,079
Penn State forty two to thirty seven. They were up

12
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:00,960
twenty seven to seven and a halftime and the winless

13
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:05,640
Bruins pick up a win against Penn State and drop

14
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:08,280
their season the three and two where they will most

15
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:12,799
likely be out of the college football playoff. And yeah,

16
00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:15,519
let's look at a couple of things. I have two

17
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,640
screenshots pulled up, and then I will que off this

18
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:23,120
sad music. UCLA interm head coach Tim Skipper is now

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,719
tied with James Franklin with one career Top ten win

20
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:31,120
against a Big Ten opponent. And then also Penn State

21
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,200
is the first Top ten team to lose to an

22
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,079
zero to four or worse opponent in forty years. All right,

23
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:41,760
now that we have the dramatics out of the way,

24
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:45,840
we can actually talk about football. But once again, this

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,079
is where we are going to open up the show

26
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,079
and with our guests later and Tyler Danberg, I will

27
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,239
make sure to get his opinions as well. With the

28
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:59,680
UCLA Bruins at home, big game on CBS. They're able

29
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:04,480
to take that forty two to thirty seven victory. And

30
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,639
how about it, Nico el Mova able to pick up

31
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,360
his first win as a starter for UCLA along with

32
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,479
a bunch of other players. Is Nico in this game

33
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:19,479
one sixty six passing, one to twenty eight, rushing five

34
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:25,919
total touchdowns? Is his draft stock? Rerisen definitely not. But okay,

35
00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:28,879
let me set the scene here. So I am watching,

36
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,479
you know, other games in the Big ten and across

37
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,439
the country that have my attention, because I was gonna

38
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:35,520
be honest, I was gonna watch a twenty minute recap

39
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,800
of this Bruins Penn State game. And I did not

40
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,039
need to because this ended up coming up on the

41
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:49,080
quadbox very quickly and for the Penn State side of things. One,

42
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,280
I mean, this offense just didn't exist in the first half,

43
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:56,599
and the defense didn't either. They were down twenty seven

44
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,280
to seven. Nico was cooking with this team in Their

45
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:03,199
defense actually did a decent job of holding Penn State

46
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,319
to limited opportunities, and they were kind of just able

47
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:10,840
to take advantage. They were able to score seven touchdowns

48
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:14,159
in this game, or excuse me, they were able to

49
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:19,759
score six in this game. But regardless, I mean, this

50
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,240
is uh yeah, this was not not a good win

51
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:26,000
or not a good loss for the Penn State and

52
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,560
nit the Allians, and especially for them trying to get

53
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,280
to a college football playoff opportunity. This really hinders the

54
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,680
chances because you still got to play Indiana, and you

55
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,360
still got to play Ohio State, and you already took

56
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,080
a loss to Oregon now a three and two. By

57
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,919
the way, they dropped out of the top twenty five.

58
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:45,080
I normally bring up the eightp pole later in the show.

59
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,840
I feel like that's something. They dropped from seven to

60
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,319
twenty five. Keep in mind, after them when they lost

61
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,759
to Oregon, they were ranked about Indiana, And while I

62
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:54,919
think Penn State's still good enough to you know, get

63
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,120
back there. Maybe they're not Drew Aller not impressive yesterday,

64
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:02,639
the running game non impressive yesterday. I don't know what

65
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,240
happened with Nick Singleton this season, but averaging three point

66
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,919
five yards per carry against UCLA. You know a team

67
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:13,520
that G five schools have been able to beat UNLVA

68
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:18,319
New Mexico able to do wonders against UCLA. Well, I

69
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:23,000
don't think. Well actually up until yesterday, and I thought

70
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,600
Ucla was one of the worst P four teams they

71
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:28,319
which they still might be. They just kind of caught

72
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,560
a lucky win. This was like I don't have necessarily

73
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,519
enough x's and o's, just because I was just more

74
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:38,800
in utter shock than anything of actually taking any sort

75
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,720
of notes for this game. They you know what, they

76
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:44,560
won a football game. I thought they were gonna blow

77
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,839
it at the end, you know, Penn State. They blocked

78
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,519
that punt for a touchdown. They were able to hold

79
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:52,680
UCLA to some stops in the second half, but they

80
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,319
got the fourth and two stop at the end. It

81
00:04:55,399 --> 00:05:00,160
was all over from there. What does this mean for

82
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,839
Penn State? And I hate to open up the show

83
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,839
talking about the team negatively, but you got Northwestern next week,

84
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:12,079
you should beat them, although they took care of business

85
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:16,879
against Jel Monroe. Happy to see that at Kennick at

86
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Ohio State host Indiana, go to Michigan State, Nebraska and Rutgers.

87
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,839
It's not the toughest the stretches, to say the least,

88
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,160
but you got two really big games in there, and

89
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,800
Iowa was in Nebraska. Aren't teams to take too lightly either,

90
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,800
especially if you're dropping games to UCLA. I don't think

91
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,160
you should do that if you're trying to quote unquote

92
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:49,199
compete for a national championship. We take a moment of silence,

93
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,480
take a breath, and if you're Penn State, you just

94
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:56,199
want to forget about this game. Because I already went

95
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,399
on Penn State last week. There is no point in

96
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,240
me really doing any sort of conversation about this team

97
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:09,600
that I just they just I have no words. Like

98
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:11,959
a part of me is still shocked in the sense that,

99
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:16,759
you know, like I didn't even care about like the

100
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,279
actual like game track and how it was going, because

101
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,560
I mean, UCLA was just playing great, like I typically

102
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:27,839
don't try and do that, but it was a fun

103
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,240
watch and I feel bad for any sort of Penn

104
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,879
State fans that really thought they were gonna do something

105
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,720
this season because there's a lot of investment, a lot

106
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:40,560
of players are returning. You know, a good amount of

107
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,879
their defense return their offense. They really tried to build

108
00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:47,720
a round and you know what, they scored thirty seven points,

109
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:51,120
but you know they they should have scored fifty on Ucla.

110
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:55,079
This is not I know Ucla won the football game, okay,

111
00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:57,800
and if you would have put it about a neutral field,

112
00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:00,759
I don't care about your power ratings or were rankings

113
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,480
or wherever you're gonna put this team. You cannot lose

114
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:08,639
to UCLA and expect to be a winner. I know

115
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,600
you could say the same thing about Notre Dame. Notre

116
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,279
Dame bloist to Nord Illinois. I'm telling you last year's

117
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,480
Northern Illinois team when it beat this UCLA team like

118
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,319
this is a bad loss. You were favored by basically

119
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,000
four touchdowns and you lost. I get it. It's a

120
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:29,439
road game in LA. That place was not hostile. You

121
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:34,279
see the attempt of them rushing the field. They barely did.

122
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:44,040
Just Yeah, Penn State, James Franklin. It was great following

123
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,560
Twitter because I follow a good amount of Penn State

124
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,800
writers because I planned on having them on the show

125
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,480
at some point, which we will be talking to Tyler Danberg.

126
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:55,319
Can't remember if I mentioned that or not. It's been

127
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,639
a long day for me, in a long weekend in general,

128
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:03,480
but definitely a great one in college football and talking

129
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:05,920
to the Big Ten and in general. I mean, like

130
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,120
the three thirty window was great for you know, Big

131
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,319
Ten football, but there's also a lot of other interesting

132
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,040
games going on and a lot of interesting football in general.

133
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,759
And you know, this was a great college football Saturday,

134
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,240
and I enjoyed watching it, you know, all through and

135
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,360
through because I'm still a college football fan at the

136
00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:27,120
end of the day, and especially with the UCLA game,

137
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,480
and it just reminded me why this sport's so great. Not

138
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,080
any who, we'll move on to the Big Neton game next,

139
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,399
Michigan Wisconsin got a decent amount of eyes on this game.

140
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,720
Wisconsin went to Hunter Simmons at the helm of their

141
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,759
offense this game, and I think he looked half bad

142
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,879
Benny Anthony. That is that he was very impressive nine

143
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:51,399
receptions in ninety seven yards and look, if Wisconsin had

144
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,440
any sense of pushing the ball down the field, it

145
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,840
could have been a lot better. But when you're talking

146
00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:02,799
Michigan Michigan football, that defense man it is it is

147
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,240
relatively not relatively, It is really good to see Rod

148
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,600
Moore come away with a pick, you know, after all

149
00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:11,519
the injury and you know, comeback he's had to do

150
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,519
in terms of his health. That that was something really

151
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,200
cool to see. I'm not obviously a Michigan fan. Everyone

152
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:21,519
knows I'm sparty till I die, but it was really

153
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,320
cool to see him come back. And while their defense man, like,

154
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,759
I know, they didn't put up any sacks, but they

155
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,639
halted that Wisconsin running game and they weren't necessarily having

156
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,600
too much success passing it through the air. Justice Haynes

157
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,759
once again looked rim he might be one of the

158
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:41,720
best running backs in college football. McCauley kind of had

159
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:44,080
a breakout game seen with Andrew marsh He had a

160
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,080
few catches in a row that I was like, Okay,

161
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,120
you know, maybe Michigan State recruited the wrong Marsh kit

162
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,120
They didn't, but you know, it's just a thought at

163
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,320
the time. Bryce Underwood, you know, he really started to

164
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,000
have a good game. This say is I believe his

165
00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:01,039
first game over two hundred in fifty passing, you know,

166
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:04,320
nine point six per attempt. Like, I think things are

167
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,879
starting to come up together a little bit more and

168
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,799
more for this Michigan team. And it's great things to

169
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,279
see on the Wisconsin side, Like they didn't play a

170
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,039
bad game, but they're just gonna get out physical by

171
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,600
Michigan in the situation, especially when you're not capable of

172
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,840
running the ball. Thought Hunter Simmons did an okay job.

173
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,440
I thought, well, once again, I mean Jones had a

174
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,759
couple of runs where it's like, okay, like maybe Wisconsin

175
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:33,639
can get it going. But all in all, Michigan was

176
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,279
the better team. They came out with a win. It's

177
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,320
tied seven to seven, but Michigan, you know, they just

178
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,799
they they took control. They go up twenty four to seven.

179
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,720
It's kind of all said and done there. Kind of

180
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:48,559
just one of those classic Big Ten games that you

181
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,639
would maybe see in November or snow on the ground

182
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:52,240
or you know, it's a little cold, they're out. But

183
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,240
we got it on an eighty degree day in Michigan

184
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:03,159
in October. Crazy stuff. Next one, we'll move into Illinois. Purdue.

185
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,720
Hank Beaty was magical yesterday for this Illinois offense five receptions,

186
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:11,360
one hundred and eighty six yards and a touchdown. Luke

187
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,879
Altmeyer had a very impressive date nineteen to twenty two,

188
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,240
three hundred and ninety yards seventeen point seven yards per

189
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:21,919
it's empt in a touchdown. Illinois still has this little

190
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,759
struggle of running the ball. And I mean, Purdue, they're

191
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:28,159
a fun team, man. Like I've said, I don't think

192
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,120
Purdue is necessarily a great football team this season by

193
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:34,080
any means. But I think they're a fun football team.

194
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,879
And you know what when I watch, when I want

195
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,879
to watch a team play in the Big Ten, you

196
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:41,720
know they're they're gonna be able to do some stuff

197
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:44,240
on offense. They're gonna get a little trickery. Ryan Brown's

198
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,320
not a half bag quarterback at all, and you know

199
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:50,679
he threw the ball fifty times yesterday. But like, I

200
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,759
don't know if this Purdue team is capable of pulling

201
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:55,200
a big upset like Purdue teams in years past and

202
00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:59,159
just absolutely derailing a season. But I mean, like they

203
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:02,399
could pick up a winning It's Minnesota and maybe Northwestern,

204
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,639
maybe Rutgers. Like their next three games, they could stay

205
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,720
relatively competitive and you know, have a shot of winning.

206
00:12:08,039 --> 00:12:11,080
Then they play Michigan, Ohio State Washington in Indiana. I

207
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,960
don't think you'll have as much success, you know, in

208
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,480
that November stretch, but the month rest of the month

209
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,120
of October, they could work some magic and maybe find

210
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,279
their way not into a bowl game, but on the

211
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,399
door aiding there. And I think that's where you want

212
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:25,039
to be if you're bury Otam in the squad, because

213
00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:27,480
I don't think you expect to have her due completely rebuilt,

214
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,960
you know, right now, and I wanted to expect you to.

215
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:35,519
But you know, their fun ball Club Illinois, Big test

216
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,720
next week. It'll be a great game Washington Maryland. Now,

217
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,559
this was a game that had a lot of my attention.

218
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:44,159
I thought was gonna be the best game in the

219
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,879
three thirty window, ended up not being. It's still a

220
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:54,799
really good game, man, Maleak Washington. While his his style

221
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,840
line's not completely you know, shows the story of this game.

222
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,440
On third down and I believe their last possession of

223
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,159
the game, if I'm not mistaken, Yeah, they turned it

224
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,480
over on downs. He threw this absolute ball into the bucket.

225
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,519
It was just dropped by the Maryland receivers and Maryland

226
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,679
had five drops on the game, but that last one,

227
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,320
I was just like, man, dude, he put that in

228
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,360
a perfect place, and he deserves better than Maryland. I

229
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,240
don't want a dog on Maryland. I don't want to

230
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:26,879
say they're a bad program by any means. But he

231
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:31,200
is the level of quarterback where he could be like

232
00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:34,240
Ty Simpson at Alabama. He could be like Dante More

233
00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:38,000
at Oregon. Just a really good quarterback makes a bunch

234
00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:40,159
of good throws. He did throw a pick in this game,

235
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,519
but I think he was trying anything to try and

236
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:46,799
get Maryland to win. Look, there's been this meme in

237
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,679
joke ring around about how Maryland's always four and knowing

238
00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:53,519
or three and one in September, and they look great.

239
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,879
And the first half of this game they go up

240
00:13:56,879 --> 00:14:00,639
twenty to nothing. Washington's throwing the ball well, their defense

241
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,679
is just eating on all levels. You know, Demond Williams

242
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:06,919
can't find an open target. And then here comes the

243
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,600
three headed monster of DeMont Williams. Jonah Coleman, Dunzel Boston

244
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,240
and also Ducker de Graft played well two in this game.

245
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,759
Roebuck ends up catching a pass for a touchdown, and

246
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:20,960
their defense was able to hold wild they didn't get

247
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,399
a single sack on Washington. They were able to do

248
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:29,000
a decent job of kind of just maintaining and posting

249
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:30,919
Maryland to go for these third and shorts and third

250
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:33,960
mediums and not really converting on anything and just keeping

251
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,559
them on their own side and really just kind of

252
00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:40,600
taking full control. They're able to have twenty four points unanswered,

253
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,840
come away with the win and mention all season big

254
00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:51,000
Demond Williams fan and just to see, you know, Washington's

255
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,559
on the road, they're down twenty to nothing, They're like, oh,

256
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,919
well you might as well take the loss and go

257
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,399
back home. No. No, they they come back and win

258
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,480
the ball game. And for Jetfish in the squad, like

259
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:03,200
I think at this first season last year, you want

260
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,200
to have seen it from this team. This year you do,

261
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:12,840
and it's very impressive to see and shout out to

262
00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:15,960
Washington and Maryland. I mean, you still you still got

263
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,960
a lot of life left in your season. And I

264
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,879
think if he can go seven to five, eight and four,

265
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,120
you know, social promise, maybe might have to open up

266
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:25,720
that check book a little bit to keep Malik Washington.

267
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:29,000
They host Maryland, or excuse me, they host Nebraska. Travel

268
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:35,200
to UCLA host Indiana, travel to Rutgers, travel Illinois, host Michigan,

269
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,399
and then go to Ford Field last week of the season.

270
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,559
I don't think that's necessarily out of the reach for

271
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,840
this Maryland team. I think playing Nebraska will be another

272
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:46,240
good test to see where this Maryland team's at, because

273
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,759
we're gonna get to it here in a moment. I

274
00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:53,519
don't know how good the corn Huskers or the Spartans are,

275
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:58,840
so still definitely within something in reach for this team.

276
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,600
Let's good to Lincoln and this is where this is

277
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:08,320
gonna get bad. This was a horrible football game yesterday.

278
00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:11,200
I mean, Michigan State only had like two hundred and

279
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,200
twenty six yards offense. They scored twenty seven points. Keep

280
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,919
that in mind. Riola and Chiles. I know Ryola ended

281
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,000
up finishing with the decent stat line. He did not

282
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,480
play good. He did an eighteen point nine QBR for

283
00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:30,320
a reason. They there was a stat of Emitt Johnson

284
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,039
had thirty seven receiving yards on the game hit sixty

285
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,039
three yards after the catch. That means he's catching it

286
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:42,200
from behind a lot of the time and just having

287
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,559
to really run up field. Isaiah Hunter had a cool

288
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,320
touchdown in this game. Damee Kee was like non existent

289
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,159
for the corn Huskers, but they were just able to

290
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,440
get to the quarterback. Four sacks, twelve TFLs. They were

291
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,799
in that Michigan State backfield all day. And the same

292
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,000
thing for Michigan State. They had five sacks on the game,

293
00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:05,079
seven tackles for lost, like both defensive lines were eating.

294
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,400
The problem was Michigan State could not run the football.

295
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,759
Maryland or excuse me, Nebraska could a little bit more,

296
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,279
and you know, they just escaped enough to do this game.

297
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:17,960
They forced eight in Childs two picks and he potentially

298
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,599
played the worst game of his career at Michigan State

299
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,759
three point seven yards per attempt in two interceptions, nine

300
00:17:24,759 --> 00:17:26,359
to twenty three. He was able to run it on

301
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,279
the ground for a little bit and ended up having

302
00:17:28,279 --> 00:17:32,400
two rushing touchdown but Mi and Lo Javic was able

303
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,480
to come in and throw a touchdown after an eight

304
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:37,599
in Child's injury. He ended up going six for seven

305
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:40,079
for seventy one yards and ten yards per ettept. I

306
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,720
know some of that was in garbage time, but he

307
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:46,799
was really the only sense of throwing we had on

308
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:51,759
this offense. I say we because what I was in

309
00:17:51,839 --> 00:17:55,480
East Lanson to watch this game, and it's just bad.

310
00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:57,640
Like it's just bad football. I know we scored twenty

311
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,160
seven points, it did not feel like they scored twenty seven.

312
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,480
This game was terrible on all fronts, just bad football.

313
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,680
Just two interceptions before the end of the first half.

314
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,680
Really nothing else to come up of it that Maryland

315
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,960
was able to get a nice win. Michigan State scores

316
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,960
a touchdown near the end of the game for garbage time. Yeah,

317
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:28,079
that good win for Nebraska, terrible for Michigan State. And

318
00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:32,880
like I mentioned, I don't know if this Michigan State

319
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:39,640
team is gonna go bowling Ucla next week. It still

320
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,240
should be a win. Michigan State right now seven and

321
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,359
a half point favorite. Okay, travel to Indiana loss. Hosting

322
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,720
Michigan most likely gonna be a loss. Minnesota coin flip,

323
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,599
Penn State, I don't know anymore. At Iowa I'm gonna

324
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,680
lean loss. And then Maryland at ford Field, I don't

325
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:02,880
I don't know what direction that game goes. And like

326
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,720
it is very possible other than the UCLA or Minnesota,

327
00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:09,200
we don't have another win, a chance, we might not

328
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,160
even have a win. But I'm still on the front.

329
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,759
We should not They should not fire Jonathan Smith just

330
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,119
yet just because it's her two and unless they go

331
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,119
three and nine, I don't see the point in doing it,

332
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,559
and you have to restart this process all over again.

333
00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:28,880
They've actually been able to get some decent recruiting wins,

334
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:36,039
so I I wouldn't pull the trigger yet. EU Monroe

00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:39,119
Northwestern Northwestern proves to three and two on the season,

336
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,799
and there they were able to take care of business

337
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,960
versus Ule Monroe is a big question. You know where

338
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,519
they gonna play close with this team? You know it

339
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,799
is Northwestern good enough to beat you Monroe and play

340
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,720
with their hearts and cover the spread. They won't travel

341
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:57,279
to State College Pennsylvania next week. Could it be interesting?

342
00:19:57,319 --> 00:19:59,960
Can we see another letdown? I hope for penn State?

343
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,279
I hope not. We're gonna talk to Tyler Danberg about

344
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,440
a little bit about the Minnesota Ohio State game, but

345
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,720
mainly what's the expectation and what is the current assessment

346
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,920
of this Ohio State football team. So we will be

347
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,440
talking with mister Danberg coming up next here on the

348
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,480
Big Ten paradigm. And welcome back here to the Big

349
00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:24,359
Ten Paradigm. As I en joined by Tyler Danberg of

350
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,039
ninety seven to one, the fan Ohio State sideline reporter

351
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,160
and also, like we mentioned in the first in season

352
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,559
episode of this podcast, he also is going to be

353
00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:38,599
covering women's basketball and baseball as well. And Tyler, glad

354
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,079
to have you back, man, thank you so much for

355
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,400
having me. Now, So first things first, I wanted to

356
00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:48,599
just have a light recap about the game yesterday. But

357
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:53,160
having you, having you on and not having any West

358
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,400
Coast guests, just because Matt Zemeck of Get Off My

359
00:20:55,519 --> 00:21:02,200
Pylon he covers Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA, we'll get too.

360
00:21:02,519 --> 00:21:05,079
I'll ask your opinion on that in a second. Just

361
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,559
kind of recap the game that happened between Minnesota and

362
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:11,359
Ohio State yesterday. You know, it was kind of a

363
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,680
domination fest. It was a little interesting in the first quarter,

364
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:16,960
but I mean after that, the Buckeyes just took care

365
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:17,720
of business.

366
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, they scored forty two unanswered points. And that defense

367
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,759
continues its tremendous start to the year. They have now

368
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:32,160
allowed noah two touchdowns this year. That's right, two touchdowns.

369
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,079
They have not allowed a touchdown in the red zone,

370
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,640
which is just unbelievable just field goals, and they allowed

371
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,079
that early field goal in the first drive for Minnesota,

372
00:21:43,279 --> 00:21:46,119
and then after that it seemed like the Golden Gophers

373
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,119
couldn't even get it onto the plus side of the field.

374
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,279
The other thing that shifted in that first quarter is

375
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,200
that they did what Ryan Day and his staff had

376
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:55,799
wanted to do.

377
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,079
Speaker 4: That's be explosive. If there were one little.

378
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,039
Speaker 3: Question mark about this offense so far is that they

379
00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:04,599
haven't really turned it loose, and to be quite honest

380
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,680
with you, they headn't need to.

381
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: Well, this was a great.

382
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: Opportunity, only home game in the month of October against

383
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,160
an opponent in Minnesota that has ad good defense, but

384
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:20,000
maybe it's one of those opponents that you can afford to.

385
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 4: Make a mistake or two if you do do it.

386
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:25,839
Speaker 3: If there were an opportunity to just get a feel

387
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,440
for how this team can do airing it out and

388
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,839
how Julian Sayan can can fare airing it out deep,

389
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:33,839
this was going to be the game to do it,

390
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,480
and they show that they can execute it. I mean,

391
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,599
the thing that sticks out about this team, and this

392
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,440
is looking at it from even just a non Ohio

393
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:45,799
State lens, but this Buckeye's team just can beat you

394
00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:48,720
in so many different ways. They've had two games this

395
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:52,640
year where they've used ball control, time and possession smash

396
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,599
mount football to win a game Texas and Washington.

397
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,839
Speaker 4: One of those games against the preseason number.

398
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 3: One, the other one against an opponent that hadn't lost

399
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,359
in home at home in four years. And then Grambling State,

400
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:10,160
they just they won the coin toss. They wanted the

401
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,720
ball first, which they usually never do, and they set

402
00:23:13,759 --> 00:23:16,559
the tone early on they wanted to play fast. Ohio

403
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,640
was a little mix of everything. It was kind of

404
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,359
an in between game. They got off to a slow start,

405
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,279
relatively sluggish in that first half, head sittle for a

406
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:26,759
couple of field goals, and then they adjusted. So they

407
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:29,519
show that they can make adjustments in that game during

408
00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:32,440
the game and within the game. And then this last

409
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,920
game against Minnesota, it's that they can just go bombs

410
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,039
away and really overwhelm the secondary.

411
00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. I watching this Ohio State team play. Mainly, the

412
00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:48,759
big thing I was very impressed by was, you know, Julie,

413
00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:52,279
like he doesn't have to be this, you know, like

414
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:55,519
what Ty Simpson is for Alabama or what Debond Williams

415
00:23:55,599 --> 00:23:58,599
is trying to be for Washington or these other quarterbacks

416
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:00,599
that feel like they have to make these you know,

417
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,200
off platform, they have to get outside the pocket, they

418
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,880
have to do all those things. While I'm sure that

419
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,759
Saying is very capable of that if he's called upon

420
00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:10,880
to do that. We saw with wild Howard last season.

421
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,559
I mean, he made play some big moments and they

422
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,799
were on cruise control for a lot of the season,

423
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:19,160
which Ohio State has really only had to do so far. Now,

424
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,400
big game next week versus Illinois. But the main thing

425
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,720
I was impressed with, and I mean I had the

426
00:24:25,759 --> 00:24:27,960
Minnesota game off by halftime. I know it's your job

427
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,920
to cover the whole entire game, but for me, just

428
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,680
watching these two teams play, I mean the ability to

429
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,400
throw the ball down the field against like a defense

430
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,839
that like isn't half bad, like Minnesota has been pretty

431
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,039
you know, decent defensively throughout this whole season. It's just

432
00:24:46,039 --> 00:24:48,200
his ability to you know, really start to build a

433
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,240
rhythm with these pass catchers in Carnel, Tate and Smith

434
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,279
that I think they combined for like two over two

435
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:58,599
hundred and fifty yards yesterday total. I heard that somewhere,

436
00:24:58,839 --> 00:25:01,279
but it's not only that, I mean the running game

437
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:04,640
continues to improve more and more every single week, and

438
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,079
like that was the only question. I mean the defense

439
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,920
came into question. I think those questions were quickly answered

440
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,359
in week one by Texas, which I don't know if

441
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,079
that was the offense to have that answered by, as

442
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,440
they took a loss to Florida, which is also a

443
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,720
good defense. But like it seems like just both sides

444
00:25:23,759 --> 00:25:26,480
of the ball have been playing so well, where you know,

445
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,519
they could have gotten jumped by Oregon in the ap

446
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,599
pole last week, or they could have gotten jumped by

447
00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:34,200
Miami in the poll this week, and they continue to

448
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,559
stay number one. And I think a lot of the

449
00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:39,319
reason is is that, you know, the offense is coming

450
00:25:39,319 --> 00:25:42,359
into fruition, the defense is still playing really well, and

451
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,759
then just on top of it, I mean, they've just

452
00:25:44,759 --> 00:25:48,279
dominated everyone they've played. Like I remember watching that Ohio

453
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:52,200
State Washington game last week, Like they started really slow

454
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,440
in that game and it was not looking pretty early on,

455
00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:59,119
and then Washington tries to run a fake play on

456
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,319
a special team playing it kind of they kind of

457
00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:04,559
got handled after that. For the most part, I was

458
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,440
just like, man, dude, what is what is Washington doing

459
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,920
They're not going to win this game. But regardless, Illinois

460
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,519
matchup next week. What are you looking going in towards

461
00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:16,240
this match? I don't know how much prep you've already

462
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:18,119
started towards it because it is Sunday in the game's

463
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,720
not till Saturday on big noon down in Champagne. What

464
00:26:21,799 --> 00:26:23,319
is it going to be like for this Ohio State

465
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,519
team to go onto a road road game where we

466
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:29,839
saw USC struggle but Indiana also handled them at home.

467
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,640
What is it going to be like for the Buckeyes?

468
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,200
What are they gonna have to do to get a win?

469
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 3: Well, first off, it's going to be completely unfamiliar for

470
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,799
a lot of these guys because this is the first

471
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,119
time that Ryan Day will have even coached at Illinois

472
00:26:48,599 --> 00:26:52,680
if you look at it, because illinoiss had been in

473
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:56,559
the West Division and the Illabut Game as it was

474
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,079
called when they played at Annually.

475
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,319
Speaker 2: Are they gonna bring that trophy back? Do you know?

476
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 4: I haven't heard anything on the trophy.

477
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,039
Speaker 3: I know that they haven't had it in years past,

478
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,160
since it's become maybe less of a thing. But well,

479
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,200
I'm sure that's going to be a question that'll be

480
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,920
asked this week, so I could I could always get

481
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,160
back with you on that, but I bet heard.

482
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: I want to know by Wednesday if there's or just

483
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:23,759
send out it'sweet about it if there's going to because

484
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:26,359
I bet that will get that will definitely get some traction.

485
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:28,519
So make sure you just kind of hold that in

486
00:27:28,599 --> 00:27:30,880
your pocket, you know, from all of your buddies and

487
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:34,079
other beat writers you know across Ohio State. Make sure

488
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:37,119
you're the one to ask that question if it's going.

489
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: Back hardheading journalism.

490
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 3: But this is the first time since twenty fifteen that

491
00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:45,960
Ohio State will have played in Champagne because if you remember,

492
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,799
they were supposed to play in twenty twenty, but that

493
00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:51,680
game got canceled during the COVID season when there when

494
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,119
there was an outbreak. So this is gonna be the

495
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,720
first time Ryan Day, we'll we'll have gone out there.

496
00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:59,720
But you know, the fighting a line I under Brett Bielaman.

497
00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:01,839
You know what you're gonna get a lot of a

498
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,119
lot of a lot of experience. They brought. They brought

499
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,799
back over over ten plus starters. I mean, that's that's

500
00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:12,400
what they've done. Luke Altmeyer's back and Company and Hank

501
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,920
Baby and a lot of these guys very talented up

502
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,640
front on the offensive line, and they have a great

503
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,039
set of running backs as as they often do. I

504
00:28:21,079 --> 00:28:24,519
remember that going into the year, Brett Bielama came on

505
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,920
Buckeye Round Table on the Ohigh State Sports Network and

506
00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:33,400
he compared he compared the three running backs he had

507
00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:39,039
to when he was at Wisconsin and he had Monte

508
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:45,759
Ball and Melvin Gordon and Jonathan Taylor and all these

509
00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:50,720
guys consecutively, and even when he had three three backs

510
00:28:50,759 --> 00:28:54,799
that were incredibly talented at the same time.

511
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:58,559
Speaker 4: So, you know, it reminds oh, you know, it.

512
00:28:58,559 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 3: Reminds him of when he had uh, not just Melvin Gordon,

513
00:29:01,759 --> 00:29:05,880
Monty Ball, but James White John.

514
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: Yes, they've they were on a run there for a

515
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,240
while with uh. I forget the head coach's name at Wisconsin,

516
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400
what was he the head coach? Or was he the O. C.

517
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 4: Bilamo was the head coach at wiscott Okay.

518
00:29:24,519 --> 00:29:28,759
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of similarities between that, but but.

519
00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:29,519
Speaker 4: A lot of experience.

520
00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:31,559
Speaker 3: They're gonna they're gonna run the heck out of the football,

521
00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:35,119
They're gonna play great defense, good secondary. That that's what

522
00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:38,480
you're gonna get from from Illinois, and and I wonder

523
00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:41,400
too how much they look at this as redemption from

524
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,920
what happened a few weeks back at Indiana, because you

525
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,160
know that that was a loss that stung, and their

526
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,440
offense certainly took out a little bit of frustration last

527
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,880
week against Purdue because they just put up the points.

528
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:56,240
I'm really interested to see how this game unfolds in

529
00:29:56,279 --> 00:29:57,400
a in a new environment.

530
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,839
Speaker 4: And just the second road trip for this Bucket.

531
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: Team this year, yeah, because I mean the first one

532
00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:06,200
is definitely a tough road trip that maybe you don't

533
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,160
want that to be your first away game, just in

534
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,519
the sense that it's a long flight, you got to

535
00:30:10,599 --> 00:30:14,880
experience it going out to Husky Stadium and beautiful side.

536
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,240
I like that is one of the bucket list places

537
00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:19,839
I want to go to when it's all said and

538
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,079
done that I do want to go visit Husky Stadium.

539
00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:24,799
I do want to go out to Washington because I

540
00:30:24,839 --> 00:30:26,680
know it's like right along the coast and you know,

541
00:30:26,799 --> 00:30:30,400
just a beautiful scenery. So I think that's definitely definitely

542
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,519
gonna be hopefully a trip and hopefully it's a game

543
00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:35,200
that I can get paid for, whether wherever my career

544
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:41,839
ends up. But yeah, so another thing when you look

545
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,720
at the rest of the schedule, and especially with Penn

546
00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:50,279
State by the way, what was it like, you know,

547
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:53,079
I'm assuming you guys are doing all your crew set up,

548
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,200
you know, getting ready for the broadcast and everything, and

549
00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:59,160
what is it like to see that UCLA is up

550
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:02,799
seven to seven on Penn State at halftime and then

551
00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:05,400
also they end up winning the game out right? I

552
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,759
just want to ask what the vibe was in that

553
00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:09,079
in that building.

554
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it started to take control when we were

555
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:16,000
up in the press box because everybody's everybody's got their

556
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:20,799
eyes on this game. It was once UCLA took a

557
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:23,559
two scored lead, that's when everybody's attention was grabbed. When

558
00:31:23,599 --> 00:31:25,720
I believe it was fourteen to seven, that's where the

559
00:31:25,759 --> 00:31:29,440
attention was grabbed. And then it was seventeen to seven,

560
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,599
and that's where once halftime hit it it got real.

561
00:31:34,079 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: And so in the Ohio State press box.

562
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 3: Upstairs, there's a big main room where everybody will get

563
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,400
the press meal and just sit down eat. A lot

564
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,039
of people will will do some more prep write their stories.

565
00:31:46,079 --> 00:31:50,759
The NBC crew meets for briefing before the before the game,

566
00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:54,599
that's where they'll hang out, you know, the broadcast crew,

567
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,319
No Eagle Top, Blacklege, Catherine Tapping, They're up there talking

568
00:31:58,319 --> 00:32:01,039
to people and just a great keep unity area. And

569
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,440
you know, you've got about eight to nine different TVs

570
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,079
and the big ones UCLA, Penn State. Now, by the

571
00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:10,279
time that it was forty two thirty five and it

572
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:13,440
was crunch time and that fourth down I was down

573
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,160
on the field, and by that time it was about

574
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,440
an hour till kickoff, our hour fifteen, and so a

575
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,880
lot of people have gotten into the stands, so there

576
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,680
was a big build up. So they put it on

577
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,720
the jumbo tron, which is in the south end, so

578
00:32:26,759 --> 00:32:29,960
if you're facing the field, it's to your right. And

579
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:33,119
by that time all the Ohio State skill players were

580
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,680
stretching and just getting some warm ups in. So the

581
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,559
coordinators were out there offensively, so Brian hartline offensive coordinator,

582
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,440
was out there, tight ends coach Kingdon Bailey was out

583
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,960
there running backs coach Carglos Lachlan and so on and

584
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,079
so forth. Mickey Mronnie the legendary straight coach, and then

585
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,039
Ryan Day was out.

586
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,359
Speaker 4: There as well.

587
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,599
Speaker 3: He's walking around, he's got his whistle in hand, he's

588
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,400
walking around checking things out group from group, even got

589
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,319
the c PJ. Fleck and those two got to catch

590
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,920
up and his Ryan days son RJ got to talk

591
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,599
with coach Fleck as well. He's an aspiring quarterback, great

592
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,559
quarterback at Saint Francis de Sales here in Columbus. He's

593
00:33:07,559 --> 00:33:09,200
going to be playing at the D one level at

594
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,440
some point. But but to see to see coach Day's

595
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,039
reaction and the fans reaction, hear their reactions, the loud

596
00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:20,319
eruption that it made, and to see coach Day look up,

597
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:22,920
just just to observe and take it all in. You know,

598
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,920
he didn't give much of a reaction to it. You know,

599
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,160
you you don't want to you don't want to show.

600
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: You know, especially in the especially in the public eye.

601
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,559
You don't want to be right.

602
00:33:31,839 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 3: But because you don't want, you know, let's say something

603
00:33:34,519 --> 00:33:36,799
happens in November first and it doesn't go your way,

604
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,119
then it comes back to bite you.

605
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,319
Speaker 4: And and coach.

606
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,359
Speaker 3: I mean, Ryan is just such an absolute professional and

607
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,519
super super classy and a great person. So you know

608
00:33:45,599 --> 00:33:48,119
he would he would never he would never let let

609
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,039
himself the show in motion like that. But just to

610
00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:53,319
see just to see all time stop and pay attention

611
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,759
to that jumbo tron, to see that final play on

612
00:33:55,839 --> 00:33:58,839
fourth and two, and to see to see that UCLA

613
00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,680
defense come through.

614
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,039
Speaker 4: I mean see to see.

615
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 3: Jerry Neuheisel and and Tim Skipper, I mean he's now

616
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,160
what seven and nine as an interim head coach over

617
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,039
the last two years. Between Presdo State and UCLA, it's

618
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:14,079
unbelievable what they're doing. And so it's it's really cool

619
00:34:14,119 --> 00:34:17,599
to see what what UCLA did and and for Penn's State,

620
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,000
you know, this is this is a stunter, This is

621
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,719
a shocker. This is something that hasn't happened in forty years.

622
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,320
But beauty of the college football Playoff expanded format is

623
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,800
that there's still a route for them to get in.

624
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 4: It's gonna be really tough.

625
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't. I don't know. Yeah,

626
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:40,360
I don't. I I am personally going to write Penn

627
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,159
State off as a college football Playoff team. I don't.

628
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,920
I don't think they're gonna be either Penn or Indiana

629
00:34:47,079 --> 00:34:49,599
or Ohio State. I don't think they beat both. Maybe

630
00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:52,920
they can get one of the two, but I'm just

631
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,719
I that was like, okay, so I'll describe it. I'm

632
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,400
watching on my quadbox, you know, just paying attention to

633
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,519
all the games, you know I have. I had Alabama

634
00:35:02,599 --> 00:35:05,719
Vanderbilt on because I wanted to see how that game unfolded.

635
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,800
I'm watching Maryland Washington because that was a good game.

636
00:35:09,079 --> 00:35:12,239
I almost took it off who else was playing at

637
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,480
that time. I had Notre Dame Boise stayed up there

638
00:35:14,519 --> 00:35:16,280
for a little bit because I like watching Notre Dame

639
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,239
because technically supposed to be a team that I cover.

640
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,760
And then I kind of was lingering on that fourth game.

641
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,679
I can't remember who I had that on in the beginning,

642
00:35:24,679 --> 00:35:26,960
but I just see UCLA Penn State. I'm like, oh

643
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,719
my god, I gotta I gotta switch to this, like

644
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,280
this is man, dude, Like what what is going on?

645
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,199
So and then I ended up watching the rest of

646
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,920
the game. I'm like, oh my gosh. Oh and I

647
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,400
had Michigan State Nebraska on too, but I don't even

648
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:44,360
want to get into that. That's I'm already supposed to

649
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,360
talk about it, oh on too. And funny enough, I

650
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,519
was in East Lanting yesterday as well, so just having

651
00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:53,599
that yeah, it was not it was not a good

652
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:56,360
vibe around town. I'll say that not a lot of

653
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,159
people were, uh, we're excited about that, But regardless, I

654
00:36:00,159 --> 00:36:02,559
remember seeing that. I'm like, oh my goodness, like what

655
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:08,000
this I Like last week on this show I mentioned that,

656
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:11,119
like UCLA is like, I don't want to talk about

657
00:36:11,159 --> 00:36:12,880
them for the rest of the season. I'm probably not

658
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,920
gonna mention them unless they're just playing someone and the

659
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,079
result of their game. After that, I don't want to.

660
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:21,679
And now it's like, well, shoot, dude, they're probably gonna

661
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:24,639
be the main topic of conversation, you know, to open

662
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,679
up the show. So it's uh, it's crazy, man, college football.

663
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,039
This is why it's the greatest sport. I'm gonna I'm

664
00:36:33,039 --> 00:36:35,559
gonna say that out right right. This is why this

665
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:38,199
is what college football is all about. Just for moments

666
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,199
like this, And also, I wanted to bring up a

667
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,400
quick stat for you, Tyler. I took a screenshot of

668
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,239
a tweet, so shout out to field Yates. Penn State

669
00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:49,800
is the first Top ten team to lose to an

670
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,800
zero to four or worst opponent in forty years.

671
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 4: It's insane.

672
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 3: It's it's insane, and it's you know what's funny too,

673
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,719
is that when you look at this past weekend slate

674
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,000
compared to the last couple of weeks, especially last week,

675
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,840
and how loaded it was, you're thinking, this is gonna

676
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:11,079
be this.

677
00:37:11,039 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: Is this is cider mill weekend. Yeah, like me, like

678
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,800
me and my girlfriend we had a plan to go

679
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,360
to the cider mill, and you know, I'm like, we

680
00:37:18,559 --> 00:37:22,760
Luckily we both ended up like kind of being congested

681
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,400
and sick and like having like cold and allergies, so

682
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,639
we were just kind of like, we'll wait till next week.

683
00:37:27,679 --> 00:37:30,320
And plus, I don't know what it is like in Ohio,

684
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,519
but it has been hot here. It's been eighty degrees.

685
00:37:33,519 --> 00:37:34,880
I'm like, dude, I don't want to go out there

686
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,679
and sweat. It's gonna be like beautiful, low seventies next weekend.

687
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,559
You know, Let's go next Sunday because I don't have

688
00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:44,159
anything planned for the first time in a while. And

689
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:49,119
I'm like, okay, yeah, yeah, let's go do that. And

690
00:37:49,039 --> 00:37:50,760
and I'm like, oh my god, thank god, I'm just

691
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,639
not doing anything else because this is great. This is awesome.

692
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 3: So yeah, this wasntder. This was intsider weather this past weekend.

693
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: No, No, unless you lived in like I don't even like, yeah,

694
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,039
I don't even know unless does Canada do cider mills.

695
00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:13,119
I bet that's I don't because well, I figured they

696
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:23,079
gotta celebrate Halloween, right you would, right, Yeah, were getting

697
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:31,199
a little off. Okay, to close this segment out, and

698
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,119
I appreciate your time being here and being able to

699
00:38:34,159 --> 00:38:36,199
come back. Obviously I didn't scare you off that much.

700
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,280
Looking at the rest of the ski season, past Illinois,

701
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,079
it's Wisconsin, which is Luke Fickle gonna be the head

702
00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:47,880
coach by then we'll see Penn State, which it will

703
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,320
still probably be a competitive game, because I'm not gonna

704
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,480
assume Penn State is just gonna quit and fall off

705
00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:54,079
the face of the earth. I think that, you know,

706
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:57,920
there's still a relatively talented team. You can go to Purdue.

707
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,599
Hopefully we don't have some Rondale More. You know, Purdue

708
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,639
wins by twenty five points there UCLA, Whi's their threat

709
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,800
now Rutgers, which has been like while they can't defend

710
00:39:10,039 --> 00:39:14,159
anything like Kelly Acmanus, that team's been solid all season.

711
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,920
And obviously the game at the end of the season

712
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:22,480
Michigan on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, what is kind of

713
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,920
the expectation in your eyes for this team, you know,

714
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,800
with being pretty dominant so far through these first five

715
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,840
games and having two pretty competitive opponents, one that's still

716
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,840
probably going to be pretty competitive, but overall not the

717
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:38,559
toughest road to a Big Ten championship. What's kind of

718
00:39:38,559 --> 00:39:43,199
your opinion talking about or what's thinking about? You know,

719
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,960
where's Ohio State gonna end up? And are they going

720
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,039
to hit their win total?

721
00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 4: Well?

722
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,559
Speaker 3: No, That's why this Saturday against Illinois on the road

723
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:56,159
is really really important because depending on what Penn State does,

724
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,519
and depending on what the rest of the schedule does,

725
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,159
this Illinois game could be the strongest game on the resume.

726
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:06,599
Speaker 4: Do I think that?

727
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,639
Speaker 3: I don't know, because you know, Penn State still came

728
00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:13,000
in preseason number two a lot of expectations and they

729
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,679
can still they can still put things and swing it

730
00:40:15,679 --> 00:40:18,280
in the right direction. They do have Indiana, they do

731
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,639
have Iowa in addition to Ohio State.

732
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 4: So we'll see how well that looks. But I think

733
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,840
this game is really important. Now.

734
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 3: If they win against Illinois, and they take a win

735
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:34,400
against a scrappy, fighting Alni team, well they control their

736
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,440
own destiny. And I think the idea of controlling your

737
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,159
own destiny is really suitable for this team. Because Ryan

738
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,840
Day his staff, they reiterated a lot it's about us.

739
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:48,519
Speaker 4: It's not about it's not about them. It's about us and.

740
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,079
Speaker 3: What we do and how we can control what we

741
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:54,679
can control and be the hardest practicing, hardest working team

742
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,400
in the country. And I think that approach, you know,

743
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,480
Coach Dale will be the first to tell you that

744
00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:01,079
sometimes be coach speak.

745
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,639
Speaker 4: But there's never been more truer words than than those.

746
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,159
Speaker 3: In a season like this, you've got to control what

747
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,119
you can control. And at this point, I mean, Ohio

748
00:41:11,119 --> 00:41:14,480
State has done enough. Maybe maybe some of their wins

749
00:41:14,679 --> 00:41:19,840
haven't looked as great because of Texas, you know, being

750
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,840
a little sluggish to start the year, then losing to

751
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,960
an unraked Florida team on the road but still a

752
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,280
preseason number one team, and that's also Week one, so

753
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,440
there were a lot of unknowns for both teams. I

754
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,400
think that's what makes that win look even better, even

755
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,800
though it was just fourteen to seven. And then the

756
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,039
road environment that they faced in Washington and beating a

757
00:41:38,039 --> 00:41:43,159
good Ohio team and for a group of five program,

758
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,119
and I think that there's you know, now dismantling a

759
00:41:48,079 --> 00:41:51,320
three to one Minnesota team that was coming off a

760
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,480
big win over Rutgers and you know, has a really

761
00:41:55,519 --> 00:41:59,960
good defense and metrics and improved quarterback in Drake Lindsay,

762
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:03,320
it's still just a rest refreshman and beating them forty

763
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,320
two to three. So I think that a lot of

764
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,440
it comes down to controlling their own destiny. And I

765
00:42:08,559 --> 00:42:10,840
like the idea of them having that bye week on

766
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,559
October twenty fifth. The bye weeks couldn't have been placed

767
00:42:14,559 --> 00:42:17,719
perfectly to set them up for success, because you've got

768
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,519
that bye week bridging the gap between non conference and

769
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:23,519
conference two weeks ago. Then you've got this next by

770
00:42:23,559 --> 00:42:26,480
week coming up after a stretch where they will have

771
00:42:26,679 --> 00:42:28,559
played Wisconsin.

772
00:42:28,639 --> 00:42:30,119
Speaker 4: They will have played three.

773
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 3: Of four games on the road at Washington, at Illinois,

774
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,079
at Wisconsin.

775
00:42:37,519 --> 00:42:40,199
Speaker 4: Those aren't easy places to play, and that's a lot

776
00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:41,519
of travel. They haven't had a.

777
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 3: Back to back in almost a half decade in terms

778
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,480
of back to back road games.

779
00:42:46,519 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 4: It's been one on one off. So I'm outside of

780
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,159
the college Football playoff, of course, but you know that's

781
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,159
a challenging thing.

782
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,159
Speaker 3: So they had that bye week going into that last

783
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:58,400
leg of the season.

784
00:42:58,159 --> 00:42:59,079
Speaker 4: Is really important.

785
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that judging by the schedule, I

786
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,599
think that this Ohio teams got a decent shot of

787
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:12,239
finishing the regular season undefeated and playing is the game

788
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,800
in Indianapolis again this year? Or are they moving? Okay?

789
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,320
I know what basketball, there was like conversations of them

790
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,199
moving into Las Vegas, all the shenanigans. I'm like, dude,

791
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,880
this is the problem with conference expansion, and you know,

792
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,440
they want to relocate things to different places. Not that

793
00:43:29,519 --> 00:43:31,960
Vegas would necessarily be the worst place to go to,

794
00:43:32,519 --> 00:43:38,280
but yeah, AnyWho, Yeah, I like this Ohio State team.

795
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,280
This is why I wanted to bring you on because

796
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,440
they I feel like, even though they're the number one

797
00:43:42,519 --> 00:43:45,480
team and like, you know, they've been probably the best

798
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,960
team on a week to week basis, I feel like

799
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,559
they're not talked about enough in terms of a national

800
00:43:51,559 --> 00:43:53,920
media presence, and even in the Big Ten, I feel

801
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,239
like it's been like, oh, Penn State, Oregon, you know,

802
00:43:56,519 --> 00:43:58,679
all these other teams in Ohio State's just you know,

803
00:43:58,679 --> 00:44:00,559
they've been doing their job, they've been doing what we

804
00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:02,400
thought they were gonna do, and no one's really like

805
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,840
talking about them in the sense that you know in

806
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,519
the love that they deserve, and like really like this

807
00:44:08,599 --> 00:44:10,920
is like the most like untalked about number one team.

808
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,320
And I know part of it's due to the opponents

809
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,159
that they are playing, but I mean, I obviously, you know,

810
00:44:17,199 --> 00:44:19,719
you being in Columbus and being close to everything, I

811
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,679
think everyone talks about it a little bit more, but

812
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,079
just on the scale of you know, no one in

813
00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:27,480
Oregon or no one in Massachusetts is talking probably about

814
00:44:27,559 --> 00:44:30,360
or thinking about Ohio State on a regular basis. And

815
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,400
I'm like, this is still the number one team. Miami

816
00:44:32,519 --> 00:44:34,960
just got a huge win yesterday, and while they did

817
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,159
receive some first place votes, like this is still the

818
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,800
number one team and why they're still there. So I

819
00:44:42,119 --> 00:44:44,079
really wanted to have you on, you know, just kind

820
00:44:44,079 --> 00:44:47,599
of talk about how the season's gone. It. Yeah, I

821
00:44:47,639 --> 00:44:49,320
once again, I appreciate you for coming on.

822
00:44:50,599 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 4: No, thank you so much for having me in any time.

823
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 3: Let me know, love talking Big ten football in Ohio

824
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:57,199
State football with you.

825
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 4: So keep it rolling and I'm excited to keep less

826
00:45:00,119 --> 00:45:00,719
into your show.

827
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Tyler, and we're gonna move on

828
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,960
kind of preview the next week coming up, obviously, Ohio

829
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,000
State plays Illinois but what about the rest of the

880
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,599
I want to thank everyone for tuning in to the

881
00:48:02,599 --> 00:48:04,960
Big ten paradigm and you know we got we got

882
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,639
a big week next week obviously, you know Illinois Ohio

883
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,840
State was something of conversation, but we also have a

884
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:16,280
big one with Indiana Oregon at three thirty on CBS.

885
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,599
Gonna be a huge game. Two high profile quarterbacks with

886
00:48:20,159 --> 00:48:26,159
Fernando Mendoza and Dante More. Also some really good offensive

887
00:48:26,159 --> 00:48:28,480
and defensive lines on both sides of the ball. Both

888
00:48:28,519 --> 00:48:32,159
secondaries have been pretty good. Like in terms of all

889
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,000
twenty two players on the football field for both sides.

890
00:48:35,519 --> 00:48:38,079
This is going to be a fun game. Two really

891
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:42,000
impressive receiver rooms that have taken the step up and

892
00:48:42,039 --> 00:48:45,360
have really answered the ball in you know, have done

893
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,079
a good job this season. It's gonna be a great

894
00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:52,360
football game. I'm very excited to tune in and be

895
00:48:53,159 --> 00:48:56,800
tapped into this game at three thirty next Saturday Friday,

896
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,519
Rutgers in Washington play at the and caliac Manus versus

897
00:49:00,679 --> 00:49:05,400
Washington and Demon Williams, Denzel Boston, Jonah Coleman, solid defense

898
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,719
for the Huskies as well. They are ten and a

899
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,360
half point favorites over under a fifty nine and a

900
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,880
half I would take. I don't know, because Rutgers can score,

901
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,400
but they also can't defend, and Washington can defend and score.

902
00:49:18,199 --> 00:49:21,239
So I don't know. I don't know what that's sought

903
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,800
to read. So, but I think it'll be a good

904
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,400
game between both of these teams and definitely be some

905
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,599
good Friday night action in the college football world. So

906
00:49:30,639 --> 00:49:32,960
I think we had like five games last Friday, non

907
00:49:33,039 --> 00:49:34,800
big ten, but I think it was like four group

908
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:39,360
of four golf game between West Virginia and BYU, And yeah,

909
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,159
that was good Northwestern Penn State. I don't have to

910
00:49:42,199 --> 00:49:44,639
say much, Penn State, you're favored by twenty one and

911
00:49:44,679 --> 00:49:46,519
a half over under a forty eight and a half.

912
00:49:46,599 --> 00:49:50,440
Take care of business this week, because if not, that's

913
00:49:50,639 --> 00:49:55,079
just not a good look. Nebraska. Maryland kind of mentioned it,

914
00:49:55,159 --> 00:49:59,559
you know, talking post Maryland football. Nebraska favored by five

915
00:49:59,599 --> 00:50:02,239
and a half. Total is forty eight and a half

916
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:08,920
in Maryland. I still yet, like I've been kind of

917
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:13,199
impressed with Riolo a little bit this season, but I

918
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,280
feel like he still hasn't taken that next big step right.

919
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:21,000
And while Malake Washington, like statistically didn't have a great game,

920
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:23,800
He's a good quarterback from everything that I've watched of

921
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,239
this Turps team so far this season, he is not

922
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,280
the reason why they lost that game against Washington. I'll

923
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:35,840
put it to you that way. Nebraska in Riola in

924
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,960
this team, like it looks like they've been playing B

925
00:50:39,159 --> 00:50:42,960
grade football to C plus football. I have been seeing

926
00:50:43,039 --> 00:50:47,079
like an a game Nebraska game this season against a

927
00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:52,199
competent opponent, and like I Michigan State, Yeah, you scored

928
00:50:52,199 --> 00:50:55,800
thirty eight points. Michigan State gave you two gimmes, and

929
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,360
I would just like them this. I would like to see,

930
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,840
you know, Nebraska have a nice controlled game where they

931
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,800
just take care of business, you know, by two or

932
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:09,400
three scores, and play just solidly executed football. Because I

933
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:14,519
feel like, except for Akron and what Houston Christian, they

934
00:51:14,599 --> 00:51:17,440
just haven't done that this season. And I'm not trying

935
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,320
to discredit and say, oh yeah, Nebraska is just not

936
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,599
a good football team, because they are. They're a good

937
00:51:23,639 --> 00:51:27,880
football team, but I haven't seen I feel like we

938
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,800
haven't seen Nebraska's a game yet. If that makes sense,

939
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:37,480
I hope it does. Next up on the agenda this Saturday,

940
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,800
Iowa and wesconsin Iowa going on the road to Madison,

941
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:45,039
seven o'clock kickoff. Iowa three and a half point favorite

942
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,119
over under a thirty seven and a half. Oh, this

943
00:51:48,159 --> 00:51:50,800
is where the season. This is what I miss about

944
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,480
the Big ten West Cuz every Iowa game against a

945
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,679
Big ten West opponent it would be in the thirties.

946
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,719
I think the lowest was like thirty three and a half.

947
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,719
I think this game has big potential to hit the

948
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:07,800
undersconsin hasn't been anything on defense so far this season. Wow,

949
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,679
Iowa three and two, but they've been able to move

950
00:52:10,679 --> 00:52:13,760
the ball a little bit with Granowski through the air.

951
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,760
I think he's healthy, and then the running game has

952
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,320
just kind of been there. They have over four one

953
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:25,719
hundred yard rushers, including Granowski. I think both these teams

954
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,760
are like honestly pretty solid defensively too. Like Wisconsin, their

955
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,119
defense has been good this whole season. I know they

956
00:52:33,159 --> 00:52:36,360
allowed twenty four to Michigan, but when you're thrown back

957
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,320
onto the field, like no team like has really like

958
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:46,119
put belt or BTA to them. I should say I

959
00:52:46,199 --> 00:52:51,559
try not to curse very much. It comes on air now, No,

960
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,599
they're not even gonna get into that. If you know

961
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,960
me personally, I don't know if you would be like, oh, yeah,

962
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,280
you know, he doesn't say much curse words. But I

963
00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:03,599
try to keep it relatively clean for our audience, just

964
00:53:03,599 --> 00:53:05,159
because I don't know if you have a daughter in

965
00:53:05,159 --> 00:53:07,760
the car that's listening to the show, or you know,

966
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,000
maybe your babysitting your cousin when you listen to this.

967
00:53:10,519 --> 00:53:13,119
I'm not really too sure. Regardless. I don't want to

968
00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:15,480
be the one that causes trouble or some sort of

969
00:53:15,519 --> 00:53:18,360
dispute regardless. Like I mean, I know Bama put up

970
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,039
thirty eight on them, but Ty Simpson's really good and

971
00:53:21,159 --> 00:53:23,360
like they're gonna play a good offense, and like they

972
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,239
have a defense. They're playing a defense that's just gonna

973
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,360
be able to get three and outs and four stops

974
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,119
in a couple of turnovers. Like teams are gonna put

975
00:53:30,199 --> 00:53:32,559
up decent amount of points. I don't think Iowa's that

976
00:53:32,639 --> 00:53:35,559
caliber of team. Now. When Ohio State plays wistconntin next week,

977
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,039
they'll probably get to the thirties, maybe the forties. So

978
00:53:38,639 --> 00:53:43,440
but this game has big under potential. It'll be interesting

979
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:49,159
to see. And look, who will wiscontent. Will they play

980
00:53:49,159 --> 00:53:52,079
a fourth quarterback this season? I don't know. Can they

981
00:53:52,119 --> 00:53:54,280
also brought the ball at all? That's the big thing.

982
00:53:54,559 --> 00:53:56,480
Like they haven't really had too much success on the

983
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:03,519
ground game, which is just very not Wisconsin Lake. So

984
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:09,559
it'll be interesting. Michigan USC USC hosts at the Coliseum

985
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:15,079
seven thirty NBC Prime time slot. USC favored by one

986
00:54:15,079 --> 00:54:17,760
and a half total of fifty seven and a half.

987
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,480
This is a clash of styles. While USC has tried

988
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:25,400
to give attention to the defensive side, their offenses phenomenal

989
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,599
and if Jacobe Lane and McKay lemon are both healthy

990
00:54:29,639 --> 00:54:33,440
and Wayman Jordan offensive line figured this out with Jade

991
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,679
Mayeva at the helm. I mean defensively, they got studs.

992
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,239
Kamari Ramsey was out in that Illinois game. They have

993
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,199
Eric Gentry, they have some guys on the defensive line

994
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:46,079
that you know are positives. Can they put this Michigan

995
00:54:46,159 --> 00:54:49,079
running attack. You're not gonna halt the Michigan a running

996
00:54:49,079 --> 00:54:53,079
attack unless you just have like all Americans at the

997
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,920
front seven and even in the safeties, like they might

998
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,599
have one or two guys capable of that. I don't

999
00:54:59,599 --> 00:55:01,840
know if they'll you get listed all Americans, but maybe

1000
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,079
all Big ten in terms of Michigan in this game,

1001
00:55:06,079 --> 00:55:08,639
you have a good secondary and pass rush like this

1002
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,000
is going to be who has who? Who has the

1003
00:55:12,119 --> 00:55:16,119
better for USC? Who has the who? Who Who's gonna outperform?

1004
00:55:16,159 --> 00:55:19,679
Are you gonna outperform their secondary and defensive line or

1005
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,400
are your receivers and quarterback gonna be so good that

1006
00:55:23,199 --> 00:55:25,800
it's gonna neutralize and potentially you're gonna have it in

1007
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:30,199
your favor with your skilled guys. If you're Michigan, can

1008
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,480
your running backs an offensive line push around that front

1009
00:55:33,519 --> 00:55:38,079
seven of USC? Can your defense get stops? That's what

1010
00:55:38,119 --> 00:55:40,760
it's gonna come down to in this game. It would

1011
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,199
be really interesting to see how Ryce Underwood goes on

1012
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,840
the road at USC. You know, he went on the

1013
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:51,239
road early this season, played Oklahoma, came out and lost,

1014
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,360
played Nebraska, came out on a win. Can he do

1015
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,199
it again and show some consistently consistency and continue to

1016
00:55:57,199 --> 00:56:00,440
build on more and more throughout the season. That will

1017
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,840
be an interesting point to see in this game. And

1018
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:09,199
then lastly, Perdue Minnesota, Well, Mischigan State plays UCLA that game.

1019
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,280
We'll wait to see what happens after I we're not

1020
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,000
talking about either of those teams. All a shout out

1021
00:56:17,039 --> 00:56:20,000
Ucla that big win over Penn State. I don't think

1022
00:56:20,039 --> 00:56:24,199
I've said it enough on this show. Yeah, Perdue Minnesota,

1023
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,480
this should be a fun ballgame. Minnesota favored by nine

1024
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,880
and a half fifty two and a half total. The

1025
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,719
game might go over. I could see Drake Lindsay in

1026
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,719
this Minnesota offense really looking to bounce back after being

1027
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,480
held to three and Lindsay had like under one hundred

1028
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,360
passing yards and they couldn't run the ball worth anything

1029
00:56:41,159 --> 00:56:46,400
against Ohio State. So yeah, and then Ohio State plays Illinois.

1030
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,960
Like we said, but talk to mister Danberg about that

1031
00:56:49,039 --> 00:56:53,400
a little bit. They it's gonna be It's gonna be

1032
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,559
a game between both of those teams, and I think

1033
00:56:56,559 --> 00:56:59,400
Ohio State comes out in the positive direction of that one.

1034
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,079
But look Illinois, ever since then day and a loss,

1035
00:57:02,079 --> 00:57:03,840
they have looked like a different team, at least on

1036
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:07,440
the offensive side. So who knows, and who knows what

1037
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,480
we'll see, but that is going to be the end

1038
00:57:09,599 --> 00:57:12,679

Iron Coast to Coast shows. Sorry, it's been a long day.

1046
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:39,960

I am so happy to be here and have this

1051
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,599
that in a negative way at all. Guest, if I

1052
00:57:53,599 --> 00:57:56,079
didn't love doing it, I wouldn't be doing it. Great Now,

1053
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,199
I will just say that it doesn't matter what type

1054
00:57:59,199 --> 00:58:03,719
of conversation anyone cover throws at me. I love coming

1055
00:58:03,719 --> 00:58:06,320
