(00:00):
Welcome into the Oh Show on iHeartRadio. My name is Paul James. He
is the coach who says all thetime, take the points, AJ Pratt,
and they should have did that lastweekend in a lot of games.
Take the points man of games.How you doing? I'm great man,
you're doing all right. I'm goodand getting better because the move is almost

(00:23):
over eighty five percent there. Well, you saw me pulling in. My
lunch this week has been to gopick up more stuff at the house.
But is there anything that sucks morethan moving? And you know what sucks
more than moving is people that askyou to help them move. Yeah,
so what I know, people aremoving. This is what I tell him.

(00:44):
If you need my help, I'llcall you. I'll call you.
Yeah. All right. Well Igotta ask because my wife and I were
discussing this the other day. Becauseyour wife is the Queen of Christmas and
by now she would already have afew trees up correct November one, okay,
November sorry, all right. Ijust wanted to make sure because she
asked me. She goes, shegoes, Oh, that's gotta be tough

(01:04):
on carry in. She doesn't haveany of her trees up. So November
first saw there up. Are weputting the trees up during the move or
are we leaving the boxes where theygo when you go to almost five thousand
to about twenty two hundred square foot. I had some leverage, so we
got rid of some trees. Andlook, I love Christmas and she's really
good at decorating. But no,this week, Paul, I mean you

(01:26):
got Buckeye fans that are giddy.Yep. College football as always delivered force
it delivers. But you know theGenesis song Land of Confusion. Yep,
great video, by the way,but that song was wrote by Genesis able

(01:47):
to see into the future. Thedark ages of analytics is the land of
confusion. Yep. Punt the ball, take the points. My god,
I mean, I'm serious. I'mthinking what has happened to the coaching profession.

(02:09):
I mean, I'm serious, boWoodie, they're turned over in their
graves with some of the stuff thatwe're seeing. I will tell you and
you remember from the game. Theyasked Ryan Day today on his show what
he thought the most important play thegame was, and he said Jesse Merko's
punt that turned the entire field.He said that changed the game, he

(02:30):
said, we needed that fifty sixyard punt. He also said, thank
God for artificial turf because that allowsthe ball to back control. Yeah,
but he said, he goes,he goes, we needed that punt really
bad and he turned the field andthat was a game. That was a
game maker, he said today onthe show. Yeah, and before we
get into the Buckeye game, asthe Buckeye fans, as I said,

(02:51):
are giddy. I don't know why, Paul, but I listened to the
song by of Tesla signs sign everywherethere's signs. And then the next song
that came on was as I droveover here today is I saw the sign
a sub bass ace of Basse.Yeah. And then you know, talking

(03:12):
about my wife twenty five years,I've been pretty good at reading my wife's
signals. And that's that's that's allI got for you, Paul. Yeah,
I tell you what, when youlearn how to read the signals,
things are much more successful. Ohwhat in the hell is going on?
I don't know. I just theAnd it's not just in college, it's

(03:35):
in the NFL as well. They'replaying the analytics and they're not they're just
do what comes the right thing.I'm talking about the signals getting stolen up
And so here's what happened right hereFriday night. This thing had just started
to break, and Raceland asked meon the postgame show what my thoughts were.

(03:57):
Well, I'll be honest with you, I said, I said,
who can I had quarterbacks stealing signs? There's video evidence of it, or
there's a video of game. Youcan see signs on the sideline. And
I said, you know what kindof what Dion said this week? You
know, if I'm Jim Harbaugh andhis personality before the next game kickoff,

(04:20):
I'd make sure the camera's on me. I would walk my call sheet over
and hand it to the other coach. You still got to stop it.
But Paul, the train has beenmoving and the speed is fast because what
we thought we knew Friday and wherewe are today on Thursday afternoon. I

(04:41):
mean, how would you be Howwould you think it's a good idea?
I mean, this thing is deep. How would you think it's a good
idea if you're the head football coachat at big ten school, a major
university. And I said, Paul, I got an idea, Coach,
there's a guy we can get andhe's got some buddies that he can get

(05:04):
and they can go to these gamesand film and and and and get the
calls. Don't you think that's agreat idea. Hell no, you wouldn't
say it's a great idea. Hesaid something that's gonna get me fired.
Yeah, absolutely so, I meanit's uh, it is. It is
crazy times. And here here's thething, is I go to the next

(05:25):
week, we get to the Buckeyegame. This whole situation, it doesn't
surprise anybody that knows coach Harball.He is going to the brink of the
rules. Uh. They've changed rulesbecause of what things that he's done.
Uh, because they're like, wellthat that's really not a good thing.
We're going to change the rule.Why would you need every team in the

(05:47):
Big Ten? Does Michigan not havegood enough personnel that they got to send
people to steal signals at Indiana atNorthwestern. But here's the last point that
I'll make. Two. You havetechnology in high school, you have technology
in the NFL. Get technology incollege football. Who's billions of dollars of

(06:10):
revenue and put fricking phones in thequarterback's helmets and eliminate signals. Okay,
that's one. The second thing isthe travesty of this because of the speed
it's picked up, and think,I mean, if they prove that they
this has really happened, to thedepths that it's happened, he's toast in

(06:30):
my opinion, and even maybe yesterdaymorning if you had asked me that,
I would have not said that.But as the momentum has grown up until
this afternoon, what's really sad isif they have to make them forfeit games.
You have a football team with seventeeneighteen twenty players that are draftable in
an entire one hundred and twenty whateverit is on the roster that are going

(06:54):
to have an opportunity to possibly wina national title stole right from them.
And that's where the true tragedy wouldbe. Yeah, because we know athletically
that the Wolverines are as good asany football team in the country, There's
no question about that. But becauseof bad practices, having that taken away
is really really sad and disappointing forthose young men that have done their entire

(07:15):
lives to be in that position,ready to win it all and it could
be taken away from them because ofthose decisions. Well, the sad thing
is, right now, we're nottalking about this is the story. Yeah,
the PAC two is a story.We're not talking about the game of
football. So let's do what youand I like to do. Let's talk
about the game of football. Absolutely, Let's move into the Buckeyes and I'll

(07:38):
tell you the twenty to twelve winjust so much fun. I enjoyed the
deck out of that football game.Your thoughts, man, Well, we
talked last week. I thought itwas going to be low scorn. I
didn't know it was gonna be thatlow. No, you were to take
them back and forth, take theunder. Well, here's this. I
saw five the most five major differencesthat I saw in the game, and

(07:59):
we'll count them down like David Letterman'sold top ten. Yeah, number five
in eptnas for Penn State's offense,I'm gonna call it like I said,
that was good defense, but therewas some ineptitude there, the plan calls
that were made, the lack ofcreativity, and we're gonna flip the script
for the Buckeyes. The two bestplayers on offense for Penn State are Singleton

(08:24):
and now they're running backs, right, you don't have to hand the ball
to them to get it. Getthe ball to them, move them around,
get them in space, get theball to them a different way than
just handing it off between the tackles. Next four give Ohio State creativity and
calls and the patients to try torun the game, run the ball.

(08:46):
You know, they had forty oneteam carries. They handed the ball off
forty one times, trying to atleast give balance to the Penn State defense.
They only gained seventy nine yards.But sometimes it's not about the yardage.
It's still the Hey, they arewilling to hand the ball off even
if we're defending it. But himthrows. There's some creativity in what they

(09:07):
do with Harrison Junior, moving himaround so you don't know where he's at.
It's hard to bracket and finding waysto get the ball. So what's
a him throw? Throw it tohim. Throw it to him. It's
the player, not the plays.Three the Buckeyes twelfth man showed up.
It was a negative effect. There'sno doubt on my mind on Aler,

(09:28):
we thought that could be a problemfor Penn State. It absolutely was.
Because of his struggles and a lotof that had to do with the environment.
Number Two, the Buckeye defense,especially in coverage, and that late
pass rush and pressure they started toget with their front four was important to
put that game away. And last, but not least, and I mean

(09:54):
this, this game goes a differentway. If you trade jerseys on two
people. You put Kate Stover ina Penn State jersey and you put Marvin
Harrison Junior definitely in a Penn Statejersey. They were the difference in the
game in terms of personnel. Theymade plays offensively. The Penn State does
not have those kind of guys tomake those plays. The Buckeye defense was

(10:18):
so unbelievable. You and I goingback and forth, and we were both
in all of the fact that OhioState allowed no third down conversions. Now,
Penn State and bad play calling hada little bit to do with that,
but oh my gosh, I meanthey didn't get a third down conversion
until what two minutes left in thegame. That's unbelievably awesome defense right there.
Well, because I'm everything that youjust said we're going to cover,

(10:41):
but there's a couple other things Iwanted to get in there before we got
to the defense. Some other quicknotes. Trevion Henderson, what's the deal?
What's lingering? He's dressed up,doesn't play, he can't get off
the hook. I don't know ifhe talked about this in his press conference.
Ten to six Ohio State, it'sobvious your defense is dominating the game.

(11:05):
It's fourth down. I think itwas on the plus four plus five
yard line. They go forward onfourth they fail. Why not take the
points? Ye, take the pointsversus a really good defense. Ohio State's
longest rush of the game was twelveyards and again playing a good defense,

(11:26):
only six of sixteen on third down. They were actually minus one and takeovers,
which surprises me a little bit.But they go another week without takeaways,
Paul, and they've only got sevenand seven games, which is one
hundred and fourth in college football,and last, but not least, before
we get to this defense, isthe play of the game. Yeah,

(11:48):
the punt was a huge deal,but the play of the game was is
the sack scoop touchdown. Penn State'sgot all the momentum and the crowd is
silent, and there's a a jitholding on Marvin Harrison Junior, so him
not even touching the ball. Hechanged the game. They had to hold
him because of how good he is, and that took a touchdown off the

(12:11):
board, gave them better field positionand obviously helped lead to a victory.
Now, yeah, you ask ifthey're getting close the silver bullet question.
They're getting close. The pluses again, the secondary and overall coverage. You
know, I had somebody tell methis week Aler's terrible. No, he's
not. He had nowhere to gowith the ball. I mean, when
you looked at a wide view ofthat game, where's he going to throw

(12:35):
it. If he's going to throwit, it's going to be a pick
or knock down, or at leastthere's going to be a competition for the
ball. Taking away explosives. PennState's longest run of the game twenty yards,
Penn State's longest reception of the gamethirty four yards. And by the
way, side note the question askof coach Franklin, that guy looks a

(12:58):
little bit smart than he did theday that he asked. But as you
alluded to earlier, Paul the higheststate offense holding Penn State to zero for
sixteen on third down, I mean, that's almost impossible to do. Honestly,
that reed. I mean, that'sreally good defense against a top ten

(13:18):
football team, and you go backabout some of the ineptitude in my opinion,
offensively, and they finish third andfourth down, they convert two out
of nineteen. They got a couplethere late. But my question back to
you, Paul, is this namea player in college football that's better than

(13:39):
Marvin Harrison Junior. There isn't one, because there isn't a bigger game changer
now that Bowers is out. IfBowers were still there, I would say
that they are probably one in two. But just there's nobody who can make
a play right now like Marvin Harrisongame. I think it's the most important

(14:01):
player on any football team is thequarterback. I don't know anybody that would
debate that, but the Heisman isnot the best quarterback in the country awarded.
It shouldn't be, in my opinion, it should be go to the
best player, and right now,the player that's changing the game every single
week is Marvin Harrison Junior. AndErnie Adams and I we discussed a lot

(14:24):
of football. I said, Okay, in our lifetime, we're both forty
eight, who's the best that we'veseen? And that's a short list.
The best that I've seen is RandyMoss in college best receiver I ever saw
in college football. Larry Fitzgerald's onthat list, Calvin Johnson makes that list.
Michael Crabtree at Texas Tech was incredible. But Marvin Harrison's absolutely on that

(14:48):
list. In my opinion, thatwhat I've seen at that position in my
lifetime, the size, the speed, the body, control his hands,
his football iq netics, he's grownup around the game. His unbelievable balance,
his lack of wasting motion, hisexplosiveness, and give some credit to

(15:11):
coach Heartline, Yeah, he isincredible route runner. So Heartline was on
the coach you showed today and hesaid something I thought you would find interesting,
especially with this topic. He said, when we're working with Marvin Harrison,
we try not to tell him orget him focused on something that we
don't think is a key to winningfootball games, because he'll go and stay

(15:37):
up all night and study it.So we have to make sure that when
we say, hey, Marv,let's talk about this, we have to
make sure that this is something thatis a game changer for his career and
for our football program. Because ifit's not he'll waste his time on it
because his brain is so focused onjust being the best at everything. Well,

(15:58):
I think I heard mar from HarrisonJunior speak about how demanding his dad
was on him growing up. Soyou know, he came from a great
home, grew up around Peyton Manning. And the thing I'll add, because
we got to move on is everythingthat you hear, he's just as good
as a human being. So really, I'm serious college football Heisman voters.

(16:22):
I mean you got to pay attentionbecause it doesn't have to be a quarterback.
Hey, unbelievable. We're going totalk about the game they have coming
up when there's going to be alot of personalities here you're familiar with in
the in the red jerseys and aswell as the white jerseys, so that'll
be fun to talk about. Let'stalk about the games from last weekend.
Oklahoma a thirty one twenty nine winnerover UCF. UCF tried a two point

(16:45):
conversion in the final minutes. Itfailed. They ended up losing the game.
But coach, my question for youis did John Rice Plumbley finally get
back in your good graces. Iknow you've talked a little bit about him
this year and in last year too. No, he did, and I
you got to give credit. Youknow, Oklahoma comes off a big win
and UCF has had struggled a littlebit sitting there at five hundred. Now

(17:07):
they'ret three and four. But UCFbattled like hell. Paul Yeah, and
Javon Baker had a great day fivecatches, one thirty four to two touchdowns.
That eighty nine yarder was a bigone. The Oklahoma turnover did help
UCF, but it was It wasa good day also for the other quarterback
for Oklahoma and Dylan Gabriel, JohnRice Plumbley solid. He missed a couple

(17:32):
throws, but didn't turn the ballover, which had hurt them before.
He took care of the football.This game's ted at half, but Oklahoma
wins the fourth quarter. They tookover in the fourth quarter and then they
hold on there at the end.But a good battle by UCF on the
road and away for Oklahoma to pullout a close one. Coach Holgerson,

(17:52):
I know had you frustrated as wellas he was frustrated. Texas a thirty
one twenty four winner over Houston,and they had a chance. They had
the ball they had a chance tobeat Texas, but they couldn't pull the
upset. Yeah, number eight,Texas goes to Houston and Texas has a
fast start because at first I thought, well, this thing, I don't

(18:12):
I don't need to watch anymore ofthis game. And then Houston answers,
you know, that's that's a greatcoaching point, Doug Martin my boss.
Second, boss, I can't say, you say that was his deal?
When they score, you got togo answer, gotta go answer. You
got it. You have to getpoints after you give up points, and
that's what Houston started to do,and they make it a seven point game.

(18:33):
The game ends with a couple questionablecalls against Houston, and Dana Holgerson
made that pretty obvious with his body. Yeah. The Texas Juday Barons breakup
of a late Donovan Smith throw helpedseal it. But Houston Donovan Smith thirty
two for forty six, three eightythree touchdowns, a solid day that kept

(18:57):
them in it. A good thing. Texas made houston offense one dimensional,
as nineteen carries, Houston could notrun the ball. They only ended up
with fourteen. But the biggest storyin this game to me is the loss
of Quinn Euers. Yeah, Ithink it's an ac joint so in his
throwing shoulder. You hate that forTexas and you hope that does that the

(19:19):
backup is allowed to continue to helpthem move forward in a great season.
Yeah, because they're a good footballteam and they've been fun to watch so
far. You and I probably thetext of the weekend all Iowa games for
the rest of the seats and shouldbe broadcast in black and white. Well,
folks, it is old time football. To sum it up. Minnesota

(19:41):
after nine innings, wins the gametwelve to ten. Paul, I mean,
you couldn't make this up. Theunfair catch, what the heck?
Well, here's we'll get to that. But Iowa in the second h zero
points. But that's not the badpart. They had two offensive yards in

(20:07):
the second half, Oh my god, two against Minnesota. And here here's
here. You want to talk aboutanalytics. This is going the opposite direction
of everything that I'm going nuts over. Yeah. On the minus forty three,
it's fourth and four, Iowa hasthe ball down twelve to ten.

(20:29):
There's two minutes and two seconds lefton the clock. Lord and I look
and they are running out the puntteam down two fourth and four on the
forty three two oh two left.I'm like, I don't know if I've
ever seen it, but you knowwhat, head coach Farrence, that was
the right call because he had aheck of a lot better chance to win

(20:52):
the game with the defense on thefield getting to stop getting a short field,
maybe block a punt or maybe returnone. Yeah, Cooper de john
is a tremendous player. If I'mright, I think I'm right. He
leads the Big Ten in punk returnyardage. What are we doing, officials?

(21:12):
What are we I actually screwed upanother Big Ten coach whose game had
not kicked off yet. Well,I saw the return and then they show
the replay. Well they're showing onthe replay did he step out of bounds?
Well, it was clear he didn'tstop out of step out of bounds.

(21:32):
So I actually turned it to adifferent station, went to another room,
went and grabbed something. Came back. He text I said, unbelievable.
They punted with two o two andthey freaking won it and pulled it
out. He text back, hegoes, no, they didn't. I'm
like, we do? You mean? Know? He did? They see?
I just watched it. Yeah myYouTube TV. I go back to

(21:53):
that game and rewind it and Icannot. That will go down as one
of the most disappointing plays in thehistory of Iowa football. And that was
just nothing but bad by the officials. A good win for row your boat,
defense and offense ineptitude both sides ofthe ball, or defense and the

(22:17):
offenses. Ineptitude on both sides winthe day. Alabama thirty four, Tennessee
twenty twenty seven unanswered points for theTide. They're pretty good right now.
You know what this isn't I hadI heard somebody talk about this. This
is true. Tied fans may notbe real comfortable with how they're winning right

(22:38):
now, but you know who is, Nick Saban. Yeah, because it
wasn't always run up the score andthrow it all over the lot. Play
defense, run the ball, don'tturn it over, don't get penalties.
That's what the Tide are right now. It's twenty seven u t at half.
By the way, fourth down UTcalls not necessary, oh for three.

(23:03):
Here's another lesson learned. But thisgame, unlike a high State penn
State, the sack fumble scoop scoreby the Tide changed the game. Alabama
defense creates negative plays. They runthe ball with Jason McClellan in the second
half and some second half vertical runfinally with Jaln Milroe. We've been asking

(23:26):
for that for six or seven weeks. Big change for the Tide. Only
one penalty for five yards because weknow what the problem that's been one of
college football's best placekickers as Will Rekerdwho has the SEC record for points.
Bond, Burton and Law are startingto show up on the perimeter. Kool

(23:48):
Aid field the punt that That wasthe worst play of the game for Alabama.
The field was flipped returners. Youhave to field the ball. But
Utz offense, big second half struggles, blows it. Good Alabama defense,
yeah, absolutely. Michael Pennis juniorfinally had a bad game. He got
exposed. Washington won though, fifteento seven, so they ended up winning

(24:14):
the game, but boy they struggle. Here we go again, seven to
three after three quarters. Arizona Stateis in the lead on the road.
First year head coach Kenny Dillingham goesfor it later in the game on fourth
no field goal attempt to make itYeah, ten to three, and what

(24:37):
happens. No to make it seventh, is that right? I'm trying to
remember what the number was, butthe bottom line was what happens. It's
a pick six. Michelle Pile jumpsa route and goes ninety yards on that
fourth down, and look, MichaelPennox has shown up every week until this
week. Twenty seven to forty two. Okay, two to seventy five,

(24:59):
but three turnover that killed them.And then same thing Jalen Polk, good
game, nine catches, one otwo but a fumble. This is a
concern for Washington going forward. Thirteencarries for thirteen yards, team run.
They've got to get it going betterin that phase of the game. But
four turnovers, three for eleven onthird down down will keep anybody in a

(25:21):
game, and it kept Arizona Statein it till the end. I was
concerned that he was hurting from theweek before. He got hit really hard,
especially in the mid section, andI know late in that game he
had all sorts of pain and everythingwith the whole Oregon thing. I'm hoping
that he's healthy. That was mybig thought when I was what, you're

(25:41):
watching this game. I hope he'sokay. He's not pushing something that he
shouldn't push. Florida State thirty eight, Duke twenty Riley Leonard was not healthy
to start, then he got hurtagain in the game. More than likely
isn't playing this week. They've gotanother big one. Jordan Travis took over
them on the fourth quarter. Coach, he is really good. Yeah,

(26:03):
and I'm not gonna question Mike Elkoat all. I mean, he's a
tremendous football coach, tremendous what he'sdoing at Duke. But yeah, it
surprised me that Leonard played. Butyou don't know what those conversations were that
he had to be cleared. He'sa competitor. Just yeah, it was
a big game, but you wereplaying against a really good defensive front that
can get after a quarterback. Butit is. It's a fast Duke start.

(26:27):
The defense gets a pick six offJordan Travis there early and it's twenty
to seventeen. Duke lead after threequarters. People didn't watch, don't just
pay attention. Duke's leading going intothe third quarter. But after the Chandler
Rivers pick six, fsu Devn spawnsninety nine yard kickoff return kickoff returns one

(26:48):
of the biggest game changers because whatit usually comes, you're either starting the
game with it or you're starting thehalf with it. Moment them or you
answered, yeah, they just scored, we just took it back. It
totally shifts momentum. That was ahuge play in that game to keep FSU
mentally where they needed to be.Yeah, but you're right, Paul Riley

(27:11):
Leonard. It was obvious he wasn'twho he is typically. He struggled and
then the injury that seeing him getknocked out of the game wasn't fun to
watch. But Jordan Travis FSUD andthe FSU run game dominate the fourth quarter
twenty one to nothing, and rightnow you would have to say Jordan Travis

(27:32):
is right there in the mix forthe Heisman Trophy. Yeah, no question.
I mean there's about five players andonly one of them isn't a quarterback,
and we know who that guy is. Virginia thirty one, North Carolina
twenty seven u n C had thechance to put the game away, coach,
and they failed. It'll happen thisweek. Yeah, you know,

(27:52):
there's not a lot of ranked Verseranked there will be ranked teams get upset
where people say, what just happened? It's college football. Yeah, the
UVA with a huge win for TonyElliott, that staff and those kids.
Uh UV is up late thirty oneseven red zone FuMB or it was thirty

(28:14):
one to twenty seven. That redzone fumble. I don't know if you
saw it. That went out theback of the ENDZ on your life.
The back of the end they gave. Drake made the ball again with a
chance to win it. Uh hehad several fourth quarter shots and surprisingly Drake
may ends that game with a pick. But running back the running back committee
of UVA to twenty eight rush.We keep this is the third week.

(28:36):
I won't say it again next weekbecause things have changed. Your North Carolina
is the gene Chiswick defense. Thatunit was so important to maybe what happens
in the landscape. And they giveup two hundred and twenty eight yards rushing,
which that you can't do. ButUVA on the road better on third
down, run eat the clock.It was a great win for those guys

(28:56):
that needed it. Utah found alittle bit of offense. Zachariah Branch gave
USC a chance, but the utdefense on point they beat USC thirty four
to thirty two. That defense isreally good. They're good. I don't
know if you saw yesterday or today, Irvin Myers said who he believes to
be the best football coach in collegefootball. And it wasn't Nick Saban,
and it wasn't Kirby Smart. Itwas Kyle Whittingham. Now, he respects

(29:19):
him a lot, and you've heardhim say before. He's the one that
proved to him how important toughness is. And I don't know if there's a
better word to describe Utah and howthose kids play. But let's start with
special teams. Utah's Mike Matthews afifty three yard kickoff return that creates momentum
and leads to hidden yardage, andthen Utah's late fourth quarter Cole beckerfield goal

(29:45):
to win it. So they wonit on the field with that field goal
team. You mentioned it this week. Paul zachar rya branch. He is
electric, he's back healthy, sixtyone yard usc punt return late and then
you Utahs quarterback making plays in thefourth quarter with his legs to extend possessions

(30:06):
was huge. By Bryson Barnes,the pig farmer, the pig Farmer two
hundred and thirty five pass yards fiftyseven running, and a lot of those
were late in the game, likeI said, to extend possession. Four
touchdowns, a pick six which wascritical, that one interception, and then
Caleb Williams. It's been two toughback to back weeks. The one rush,

(30:27):
touchdown, no pass this week,a critical late fumble where it looks
like USC is going to put thegame away. They give the ball back
to Utah, who finds a wayto get it done. But Manus in
the grade sheet for the USC defenseallows a late game drive with a targeting
call and they give up two thirtyfive pass, two forty seven rush.

(30:52):
We're almost through two seasons that itain't got fixed, and it will be
have to be fixed right now.If you're an Oklahoma fan and you're watching
what's happening with Lincoln Riley at USC, you're kind of happy the direction things
are going for you with coach Venables. Yeah, you struggled so bad last
year, but now you're kind ofon the top of the world, so
you got to feel pretty good aboutwhere you're at today. And I just

(31:15):
the Mike Leech effect of college footballcoaches in postgame have gotten to Kyle Whittingham,
that was the best comment they've got, Hollywood, We've got a big
farmer. I'm like, yeah,that is the absolute best you got to.
You gotta give them credit because they'vestruggled without having Cam Rising and they've
done the best they can and theyput themselves in position to do some great

(31:37):
things this season. Miami beats Clemsonin two overtimes, twenty eight to twenty.
Once again, Clemson's having a toughtime scoring points. Yes, Paul,
I mean the expectation with Garrett Rileygoing it, it just hasn't happened.
And you got now a Clemson teamthat's four and three. Yep,

(32:00):
Miami team that won that battle toget to five and two. We said
this was a big swing game,and Miami found a way. No more
Tyler van Dyke. They plugged inand inserted freshman Emery Williams, who was
solid twenty four to thirty three,one touchdown, one pick. But really,
you didn't have to watch the gamewatch the game. You could go
to this stat line Clemson in therun game thirty four carries thirty one yards.

(32:24):
Flip it over to Miami thirty eightcarries for two hundred and eleven yards.
You've got about one hundred and eightyyard advantage in the run game.
That's really hard to overcome. Clemsonallows five sacks, ten tackles for loss
credit. Miami's defense Cape Clubnick wasgood enough statistically, but was responsible for

(32:47):
two of those three Clemson turnovers.But Miami with three turnovers for fourteen on
third and you have to question thatlast play call in the second overtime by
Clemson with the cad Club Nick runthat had zero chance. Yeah, that
had to be frustrating to see that. Frustrating to see that end with how

(33:08):
that offense performed the entire game forClemson fans. Yeah, Ole Miss be
t Auburn twenty eight to twenty one. Coach, the fighting lane Kiffins are
hanging around, and you know whathappens if you hang around when you get
to the second half of any gameor anything at all, they are right
there and ready to knock somebody off. This is a good football team.

(33:29):
Well, despite Auburn's offensive struggles thatwe've talked about all year, anybody can
see it. The team fault likeheck at home and Oh Miss Jackson dark
truly, in my opinion, willedAuburn to this win. A good road
win. Any wins a good win, but a road wins even sweeter.
But he had two hundred and twoyards passing, but he had forty four

(33:51):
rush yards responsible for three touchdowns.Quinn Shawn Judkins has stacked another good week,
as we wondered where he was atthe beginning of the year. He
has one hundred and twenty four yardsbig time in the fourth quarter, but
too many old miss penalties and twoturnovers. But defense and run game,
travel and their defense and their rungame helped them get that road win.

(34:15):
The rumor is Judkins was hurting earlierin the season. They just didn't tell
anybody, which we're used to andwe understand. And now that you see
how he's running against the teams he'srunning against, you gotta believe that's probably
true. C J. Stroud said, how good Dai Kwan finn is.
I got a chance to watch himup close and personal last year. He

(34:36):
knows how to play football. Heled Toledo over Miami, put the Rockets
into the mac driver's seat. Itwas a great game. I love CJ.
Stroud saying that when he was ongame day, was a great game.
But what are some of the otherones that you want to mention?
For quick? Yeah, real quick. Toledo was up twenty one to three
at half, and they hang on. Da Kwan Finn can play. But

(34:58):
University of Toledo's twenty fourth score offensein the country and junior running back Penny
Boone is fourth in college football witheight hundred and sixty five yards rushing.
Sure there's that, well, realquick. Liberty beats MTSU to get to
seven, and oh JMU beats Marshallat Marshall to get to seven, and
oh, can't forget this one.Number nine. Oregon big in the second

(35:19):
half at home versus Washington State.Bucky Irving the running back another big day,
won twenty nine three touchdowns, andthen you have to say it was
good to see they didn't win thegame, but cam Ward was back with
a four hundred plus yard day.But Washington State could not run it.
Oregon would not allow it. Miszooto seven and one, thirty four to

(35:43):
twelve at home over South Carolina,who's really struggling right now. South Carolina
struggled on third down offensively three forfourteen and the only rushed for sixty nine
yards. This one was not realpretty Mississippi State seven at Arkansas three.
The Razorbacks are sitting there at twoand six, So dan Enos was relieved

(36:05):
of his duties in his first yearat Arkansas through eight games. How about
Rutgers. We talked about him lastweek, we talked about him this week.
We're gonna talk about him again nextweek because we play him YEP,
thirty one to fourteen at IU toget to six and two, they're going
bowling Wisconsin. We got to bringup Wisconsin because they win twenty five twenty

(36:25):
one over Illinois, down twenty oneto seven going into the fourth quarter,
win the fourth quarter eighteen to zero, and with thirty one seconds remaining a
red zone touchdown pass to an eligibleoffensive lineman. And then lastly, Troy
Calhoun at an academy at Air Forceare to seven and zero, ranked twenty

(36:49):
second win over the other academy,Navy. That's it, Paul. But
my last point from last week,we talked about the bogus call. I
don't know if I felt worse forthe Iowa fans, yeah, or for
Pat Narducci and the Pitt fans,because if you saw the slide of their
quarterback when they're putting the game away, and it was clear to me that

(37:13):
it was a first down and theycall him short and they get beat.
That that was that was hard totake. Man. There's another bad one
by the officials. That was atravesty type call. Yeah, Sunday morning,
I was seeing that and I waslike that, that's that's a trap
that one hurts, that one knowsbad. Let's look at this week's games.
There's some good ones. Number onein a lot of people's minds.

(37:37):
I know I'm gonna be all overwatching this game. Oregon plays at Utah.
That's gonna be a dandy. Yeah, three thirty on Fox. Which
is cool that we're getting to seeso many PAC twelve games in the afternoon
and not at ten thirty at night, which I'm usually watching. Uh.
Yeah, Oregon is a six anda half point favorite at Utah over unders

(37:57):
forty seven and a half. Yougot No. Number eight at number thirteen.
You got Kyle Whittingham and that crewat home. Their defense, a
blossoming Bryce and Barnes that we justspoke about versus bow Nicks, Bucky Irving,
should be a great game. Myquestion is can you tos score enough.
Yeah, we're gonna find out.Duke plays at Louisville, another huge

(38:19):
game for Duke, and their quarterbackis really dinged up and probably isn't going
to play, but we'll see.Yeah, three thirty ESPN, Number twenty
Duke at number eighteen, Louisville sixand one, sitting there is a four
point favorite and a forty six anda half point over under. Just the
questions, You're off a tough lossand then a bye week Louisville, are
they coming back and humming taking careof the football. And then yeah,

(38:44):
Paul, you got freshman quarterback HenryBeelin probably filling in there for Duke and
off that tough loss to FSU.So you've got two teams trying not to
lose too in a row. Yeah, classic football matchups this weekend. One
of them we're both in the SEC, and one of Miss Tennessee at Kentucky.
Well similar seven pm ESPN. Yougot Tennessee sitting there twenty first four

(39:07):
point favorites at five and two.UK fifty one and a half is the
over under. Kentucky's off a lossin a bye week Tennessee's off a loss
last week. UK can defend Paul. They can defend the run twelfth in
the country, only giving up ninetyfive yards per game, which Tennessee wants

(39:29):
to run the football. We knowthat, and Devin Leary is going to
have another chance to show up andsee if he's going to help the Cats
win a game or two. Thisyear, we're gonna find out. Oklahoma
travels to Kansas. Eight years ago, this would have been a fifty one
to nothing game. This year itcould be a dandy twelve pm, the
Big Noon Fox Game number six.Oklahoma's a ten point favorite at five and

(39:51):
two. Kansas more points expected thanthis one with the sixty five over under.
Another team, Kansas off of byeweek in home, is ja Aalen
Daniels back that bit far is thebiggest question of the game, because if
he is, Jason Bean has donefine. You'd love to have two quarterbacks
like that, but Jalen Daniels istruly a difference maker. Better diversus Oklahoma

(40:15):
and Dylan Gabriel. We'll see anotherclassic SEC matchup. Georgia goes down to
Florida once again, two teams inthe SEC that don't like each other.
Yeah, you got the three pointthirty CBS as we're used to sec game
of the week, which is soonto go bye bye, which is sad

(40:35):
at the world's largest cocktail party inJacksonville. Number one, Georgia is a
fourteen and a half point favorite versusthe quote home team Florida Gators forty seven
and a half point or over under. This is a huge game for Florida
to shock the world and get asignature win in a rivalry game. I
have an expectation Florida's gonna show up. Now. You may say, aj

(40:59):
last week you said that up andthey just got boat raced. But Graham
Merch has been strong, paul Isaid last week twelve touchdowns, two interceptions.
He's played very well the last twogames. Brock Bowers obviously is out
who steps up and makes plays.You don't have him throws in handoffs for
a while. And can Florida playand be physical enough to take the game

(41:23):
to Georgia. That's I'm interested tosee that. If Georgia has a fast
start, I think that game's overfast. I really do. No,
you're probably right, because you're Florida, You're saying, here we go again.
They're number one, but I justhave to I think they're starting to
go towards what Billy Napier has avision of what this football team could be.
Now, I may be totally off. I'm not picking them to win.

(41:45):
I'm saying they can win, butI think they're going to show up.
Well, there you go. We'regonna find out. BYU at Texas
and an interesting game, especially withTexas backup quarterback. Yeah, BYU who
started fast as lose forty four elevenat TCU and then bounce back last week
to win twenty seven to fourteen overTexas Tech. The three point thirty ABC

(42:07):
game, You've got Texas as aneighteen point favorite at home. They just
got out with a close win.They have lost quin yours, but they
we do know they have a talentedroster. Absolutely. Coach Prime is going
to take his first team into theRose Bowl. They take on UCLA,

(42:28):
and UCLA is playing at a reallyhigh level right now. Seven thirty ABC.
Prime is back on Prime Time offof break last week four and three,
Colorado in La at Ucla number twentythree. They are a seventeen point
favorite, sixty two and a halfis the over under. We shall see

(42:49):
Ucla runs it and has been defending, and the Colorado lack of d and
lack of run game would be concerning. I will say real quick, this
week there was an article I thinkI sent it to you on Prime.
Yeah and all the stuff that yousee you think shenanigans. You need to
go find that article that was outthis week on ESPN. How much his

(43:13):
coaches and even more so, hispeers, his teammates respected him. He
was the hardest worker. They saythat you on the team. He took
players under his wing. It reallyis a cool It's not just talent.
He was who he was athletically becausehe put the work in. And here
all these guys' former coaches talked abouthow high his football IQ was, that

(43:37):
it does not surprise them at allthat he's had success as a coach.
The guys who played with him whenhe was playing baseball said the exact same
thing. There was no harder workingbaseball player than Prime when he was playing.
Yeah and everything you hear. That'show he coaches his players. It's
old school. He's very demanding.He talks to him about being men and

(43:57):
being believers. I mean, there'smore to him than just the show.
There's no egos, a lot deeper. Totally totally agree. I totally agree
in a game that I think coachhas big implications of New Year's six games,
and that's Oregon State at Arizona.I think the loser of this may
take themselves out of an opportunity toplay on the New Year six game,

(44:20):
the old ten to thirty ESPN.Are you seriously going to sit up and
watch this this week? Yes?I will be number eleven. Oregon State
a three and a half point favoriteat four and three, one of the
best four and three teams in footballin Arizona this and they get to four
and three last week with their lastgame with the win over Washington State.

(44:43):
If I remember but pay attention toquarterback Noah Fafida in Virginia de Laura has
played very very well seventy five percentcompletion, eight touchdowns, only two picks.
But yeah, Paul, this isa big game for Oregon State.
Yeah, agreed. What other gamesare he interested in this weekend? Well,
let me see. We got thethree thirty sec Network four and three,

(45:04):
Mississippi State at three and four,Auburn Auburn's a six and a half
point favorite. Two first year headcoaches that need a win, one a
win and my mac love is thethree thirty CBS Sports Network six and two
Miami RedHawks at the six and twoOhio University Bobcats ou seven point favorites at
home. This is a rivalry andhas been for a long time in this

(45:27):
conference. If you're in Southern oHigh and you get a chance, if
it's a nice day, go watch. It's gonna rain. Is called rain.
Stay home, Yeah, stay Holliday'sgonna rain more than Saturday, but
it is definitely gonna rain on Saturday. I feel bad for all the Halloween
type stuff that's going on this weekend. They're gonna get a little damp,
I think, especially on Saturday oron Sunday. Rather my absolute favorite part

(45:51):
of the program. I'm just sitback and see what you bring to it.
Coach AJ who gets to win theday Award? Well, Paul,
we got five runner ups, justlike in a in a beauty pageant.
Here's our five runner ups. Buta couple of these are very serious,
and especially the first one a prospectfor sure is Tony Ellett, the UVA

(46:15):
calves big road upset over you andsee with them losing teammates, lives lost
last year, a tough start tohis career. To go and do what
they did, I think that's onlybeen done two times in recent football history.
Is an unranked team without a victoryto go on the road and be
the top ten team. Great forthose guys. Second Oklahoma State running back

(46:39):
Ali Gordon watching play, he isa top running back in the country,
and physically he is impressive. Twentynine carries two eighty two that's an average
of nine point seven per carry forfour touchdowns. One of the other runner
ups, no doubt, We've alreadygiven him love and it's well deserved.

(47:00):
Marvin Harrison Junior's eleven catches one sixtytwo a touchdown, the difference maker in
the game without a doubt, fourteenpoint seven per touch. Washington's defense and
their defensive coordinators of William Ing andChuck Morell, we've heard for good reason.
We've talked about the Washington Husky offenseevery week, every week until this

(47:22):
week they get the pick six.They pull Washington out of the fire with
a chance to be upset. Wheneverybody has these high expectations and should after
a huge win against Oregon. It'sa great job by those two coordinators coach
j and Morell on that defense andthe last runner up, Jim Knowles defense
the Buckeyes holding them to zero forsixteen the Penn State offense on third down

(47:45):
to finish two of nineteen on thirdand fourth down. Remarkable job by Jim
Knowles. But I got to tellyou, Paul, this was the easiest
pick in our five years together.It ain't even close. I mean I
could have just left those guys offbecause none of them had a chance for
this. The win the day.Connor Stallions, Connor Stallions, you are

(48:10):
more famous than the spies, BenedictArnold, Jason Bourne, Carrie Matheson of
Homeland, she ain't got nothing onyou, Jack, Ryan takes a back
seat. Even the spies of Spyversus Spy and Mad Magazine. You have
torched their hind end because you arenow the most famous spy in history.

(48:32):
It's it's a slam dunk, Paul. There's going to be a thirty for
thirty. I mean you could betyour house, bet the farm. There's
gonna be at thirty. It's gonnabe on dateline. Yep, it's going
to be on sixty minutes h Therewill at some point be a movie,
and there will definitely be books written. It's got to be Connor Stallions.

(48:54):
He has hit the big time.But here's my where are you? Connor?
Where are you? No one's seenyou, but everybody knows who you
are and that you have won theday. It'll be very interesting to see
what's next in the Connors Stallions saga, because it's only gonna get a little
warm. Think about this. Youwent from being a volunteer, low level

(49:19):
staff member, yeah, to earningyourself pay fifty five crank grand is what
his salary was. There's no recruitingstaff member in America standing next to coordinators
and the head coach. I meanwhat he has pulled off something that has
never been pulled off before. Sohe wins the day. I get you.
I totally get you. We're gonnasee some guys that are very familiar

(49:43):
to us that are going to bewearing red jerseys on Saturday night. Luke
Fickle, he's got his badger's playingwell right now. They're ready to go.
The Buckeyes might be in a bitof an exhale mode. Here's my
question. Could the Buckeyes get surprisedin Madison on Saturday night? They ca
well, here you got x BuckeyeLuke Fickle, which gives just a little

(50:04):
bit more hunger to find a way, right, ye, Dames. On
the other side, yeah, onthe districtive side for him, that I
think a lot of Luke Fickle.He coaches his kids, play hard,
tough. Heck, you got toa Final four, thank Jim Trestle's nephew

(50:27):
is also one of the coordinators forthat team. That's right. So Luke
brings Phil long Goes air raid fromUNC, which is nothing like they've seen
it Wisconsin in the history Wisconsin football. So high expectations after what he did.
You know he's from the Leech Treeand what he did at North Carolina.
You're correct. Mike Trestle is oneof the two coordinators. They're going
to run a three three five anda two four five defense. Luke is

(50:52):
very involved in special teams. Iknow that specifically the punt and the kickoff
team, which is defense on specialteams. What that is to me.
They had that second game of theyear Wisconsin and coach Fickle's second game at
Wisconsin, a tough loss at apretty good Washington State in Week two thirty
one, twenty two, and thenan ugly game and loss to Iowa at

(51:15):
home in that fifteen to six thriller. Team positives that I've seen. They've
avoided the penalties. I mean,they get penalties, but they don't get
penalized very much, which is Isay a lot. It has a lot
to do with coaching. They've beensolid in special teams, which is not
a surprise to me because Luke fickleteams usually are. They have a good

(51:36):
punter, you said, Coach Dajasaid, they do have a good punter.
Let's look at their defense so farthis year. This is the strength
of their football team. Some standoutso far this year Hunter Roller at safety,
Expected linebacker Mayama Ninjohn Metta, linebackerJake Cheney. They're good on third
down defensively, or at least theyhave been in twenty twenty three. They're

(52:00):
one of the best teams in thecountry in getting three and outs, which
means they're getting you in negative situationswith negative plays. This is important.
They're the thirteenth red zone defense incollege football. They force field goals,
They create, as I say,a lot of negative plays and their twentieth
only allowed allowing eighteen point two pergame. Now I'm going to digress just

(52:23):
a second. Go look at statisticsof the offenses in the Big ten West.
It ain't good, so that willhelp you. With that number of
eighteen point two per game, thatcould skew it. So let's go back
to the other side. When wetalk about the air raid less plays,
more spread mesh in cuts, you'rea little bit more limited in run game

(52:51):
in terms of scheme. What they'reused to seeing with those different personnel,
two tight ends, two backs,Wisconsin fans are used to seeing. This
is more eleven personnel. What shouldbe and really hasn't shown this in my
opinion so far this year. Thestrength of this offense should be their O
line, especially with left tackle JackNelson center Tanner Bordolini. High expectations,

(53:15):
good players coming back. Most peoplethat have watched college football know who Braylan
Allen is. They're running back who'sa very good player, and one bright
spot they have, of course,they're throwing the bault more is. Will
Pauling and Shamir Dyke have had asolid year so far on the perimeter.
But the big hit for this offensewas a couple of weeks ago the transfer

(53:37):
quarterback Tanner more to Kai hurt hishands, had to leave the game and
has been has been replaced by BradenLocke, and two weeks in he's thrown
right at fifty percent, just twotouchdowns the one pick. But here would
be your concern if you're a Wisconsinfan. Seven lost fumbles. They also

(53:59):
allow lot of negative plays. That'swhy I say the strength of now.
Just because you have negative plays doesn'tmean it's the offensive line's fault. That's
a very common misconception. It couldbe the back, could be the quarterback.
There's a lot of things that cancreate that. They're only throwing in
an air raid offense for two hundredand sixteen yards a game, so that's

(54:19):
concerning. And they're only averaging twentyseven points a game. So the defense
by far has been the better sideof the offense and defense so far.
Now here's it it. We canclose it up. Here's the keys for
the buck Eyes this week. Numberone, when they're jumping around, hopefully
the game's away by the time thathappens for the buck Eyes in a good

(54:44):
way. Is they overcome the crowdnoise at Camp Randall Stadium because that place
is going to get loud, it'sat night. A couple of things help
that fast start helps them take thecrowd out of the game. And we
said that a couple of weeks ago. Let's see a fast start. This
would really be a good week toget a fast start to help take the
crowd out of the game. Andtwo is execute is eliminate the pre snap

(55:06):
penalties that can be created by crowdnoise. The advantage of Buckeyes had at
home last week. Two we seeit every week almost every week. I
don't want to be exaggerate, iscan they avoid the hangover let down after
last week's huge anticipated game and victory. Is it going to be full focused?

(55:28):
It's hard for me to believe you'regoing to Wisconsin at night and you're
not gonna be focused. I'm notexpecting that three offense. We just heard
a strength of what Wisconsin has defensivelyis red zone. They make you kick
field goals. So the Buckeyes needto stop that trend. They need to
score touchdowns and not be kicking fieldgoals. Now, coach, if it's

(55:50):
fourth down and four. It's okayto kick a field goal and get the
points, but getting an end zoneobviously is a big deal. And how
do you do that big plays whichthe Buckeyes can do, and then obviously
finishing in the red zone. Four, This is a question can we finally
see a couple things a big playon special teams? Can we see a

(56:10):
big return, can we see ablock punk, can we see a block
kick? And the other part ofthat question is can we see some takeaways
that right now is the biggest weaknessof Ohio State is they're not taking the
ball away. They're playing like hellon wheels on defense, but they're not
getting the ball back with short fieldsfor the high State offense. And then,

(56:30):
last, but not least, there'sno doubt in my mind that the
plan should be is you're going tomake that backup quarterback with an offense that
struggling thrown it buddy, you're goingto beat us. Which we said the
same thing last week about Drew Aller. We said, hey, don't let
those two backs beat you. Allright, big boy, this is your
first big show. Get it done, and they couldn't get it done.

(56:52):
I think that the same mentality isyou're not going to run the rock on
us. All right, let's seeBraden lock if you can beat us.
I think I'm very confident that's wherewhat you're going to see on Saturday night.
When I watch Wisconsin, it looksjust like Ohio State gym trestle teams.
Now, obviously it's very early forFickle and his staff at Wisconsin.

(57:15):
They got a lot of work todo, you know, after this season's
over, but they just they justit just feels like watching trestle ball.
When I watched Wisconsin play this year, it really does well. Luke Fickle
is gonna believe in defense and specialteams and field position. That's why it
was a surprise when they hired PhilLongo as the offensive coordinator. Yeah,
because now they were spread at Cincinnati. I mean that that was a spread

(57:39):
offense. I mean Ritter was throwingthe ball around. So but and I
think a little bit of their struggles, it's just that it's a first year
system that's formed of the most ofthat roster. Because it's nothing like they
did in the previous regime. Yeah, which let Jerome Ford run all over
the place. Man, they werefun to watch, weren't Some fun stuff

(58:00):
things before we get out of here, because I know we're running out of
time. Coach Day one agrees withsomething that you agree with, but I
want to first of all tell youthis is a first time coach Ryan Day
has ever coached a football game inCamp Randall Stadium. Is that right?
He's never been in the stadium untilhe walks in there tomorrow night. He
said, Wow, he's also neverbeen to Illinois. Well, it won't

(58:23):
be hard to find Camp Randall State. Now, it'll be hard to find
it. And number two, theyasked him about RJ. His son who
plays quarterback into sales. They beatWaterson Friday night on a on a last
late drive. Of course, oneplayer for Waterson had two personal fouls which
gave him what thirty yards in thesixty yards they needed to gain. But

(58:45):
he drove him down the field andhe said something that is right up your
alley. He said, there isno greater scene in the state of Ohio
than Friday night lights. And ifanyone tries to take that away by giving
it to a college team or apro team or somebody else, they are
doing a disservice to the children ofOhio. Amen. That is the thing,

(59:07):
and I said, my I said, that's right. I said,
AJ would have said amen. Hesaid, it's the greatest scene. He
said, I love the parents thatare that are part of our school and
what we do and where we're going. And he goes, we start the
playoffs, and he goes, it'sit's the greatest thing. And it goes
and I'm glad they're playing all theplayoffs on Friday nights so that they don't
get in the way of other sports. And we'll see what happens in the

(59:30):
next five weeks. I said,man, that's great. I love it.
Paul. I haven't said this atthe end of the show before,
but I gotta get out of here, because, sir, this is why
this is the last night that Iam not a bachelor for about four plus
months, because tomorrow stay, itstarts girls high school basketball. It starts
tomorrow like four or five o'clock,and I'm gonna go home and see my

(59:53):
wife before she goes to do whatshe's really good at. And it's coach
your girls. Enjoy that, Enjoyyour weekend. Coach. Another great show.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
