Speaker 1 (00:00):
H anchors up sails at full the sipcaster.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You didn't speak Kyle?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
All right, Jared, how are you moved today?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Doing good? Uh? New tradition, good tradition, all right, Kyle.
We we we did it. We survived grambling. The uh
you know it was. It was heart wrenching at times.
It was it was nail biting at times, but we
(01:05):
as a community made it through it. And I guess
it's onto the next game.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Mhm yeah, I it's gonna be tough, really trying trying
to break down this break down this uh this matchup
here just because every everything that State wanted to do,
we were able to do on all on all aspects
here special teams. So it's I mean, what what what
(01:37):
can we take away from from this game here?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
My my opinion, I think there's a couple of things.
One in week in week one obviously the obviously the
coaches said that they held saying back, could have had
could have had him do more in that game. But
we we always know Jared world number one, but here
(02:02):
we actually see saying again again against lesser opponents. But
still like you go sixteen for sixteen, I don't care
who you play that's tough to do. That's tough to do.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Absolutely, and then on the seventeenth through an interception, But
you know that was that that was some second start stuff.
That was your guy was open and you just didn't
trust yourself to sling it when you slung it, and
you just got to hear to that ball. Quicker made
the right read, made the right made it like a
(02:37):
good accurate throw. Timing was a bit off. It happens.
He's a right shirt freshman. You know, let's make those
mistakes during grambling.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yep, exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The route wasn't the crippst crispest either, eh, I mean,
I mean fair, but ultimately that's a timing thing on
the quarterback. Yeah, I mean, I mean, just just to
put this in the bigger scope of things, Ohio State
(03:08):
just played five straight games against Top ten opponents going
back to last season. Obviously, and as much as we
sort of like criticized the High State for playing an
FCS school, and as much as Saturday was kind of
a spring game, it was it was a nice return
(03:32):
to pace to go into an Ohio State game knowing
that they were gonna win, because we haven't got to
do that in a while. I kind of felt that
way during Notre Dame. I'm not gonna lie, but it
was it was kind of nice to play a cupcake
again after like I said, five straight, five straight games
(03:53):
of like, I don't know what's gonna happen, you know,
not not that they were all nail biers in the end,
but you know what I'm saying. Mm hmm, Yeah, I
don't know. I guess let's uh, let's get let's get
into the grades, all right.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Sure, so I guess we'll start offense.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Here.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Six hundred and fifty one total yards in this in
this game. Here, three hundred and seventy seven in the air,
two seventy four on the ground. Yeah. Like I mentioned earlier,
anything and everything that they wanted to do, they were
able to to do. Thereat. The great thing here was
just seeing the number of other players being able to
(04:38):
get on the field, get their get their touches, get
their touchdowns. There were nine different players who got who
got a touchdown in this game. It was fun to see,
fun to see all of the different players being able
to to celebrate in the end zone there. Yeah, I
mean so game so game plan for the for the
(05:00):
first for the first report card. Yeah, a plus, Like,
but what more can you ask as an overall game plan?
On offensively? You you score her seventy points? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, hey, you score seventy points. You do what you
should do during this game? Yes, Austin, we always grade
on a curve, or at least we always grade with
the understanding of the context of the game, which is
probably a more accurate way of doing it this game,
which is to say, like, within this game, I like
what they did. They went and they got cats a touchdown,
(05:38):
you know what I mean? They went and they spread
the nine touchdowns over nine separate players, Like you know
what I mean. They they took a second to celebrate
and to give the ball two guys who might not
get a touchdown otherwise, but who are still, you know,
important contributors to the football team, you know what I mean. Like,
(05:59):
they this game as it should have been treated, which
was an exhibition. So yeah, I give them an a
plus for for doing this with doing what should have
been done. God, did you do a plus on your
a Yeah, yep, chat, how do you feel?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Hat an A plus down there? So it's an A
plus here?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
In game?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Coaching didn't really have to make any changes. You got,
you got players who contributed did exceptionally well. I mean
a plus. I can't really think of anything offensively anything
to say wrong, So it's got to be an a plus.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I appreciate that. Even so, let me say this. They
they the starters didn't play in the second half, most
of the starters, they they brought in the second string.
Good thank you, Thank you for doing that and not
waiting two or three drives into the second half. Thank
you for you know. And Bo Jackson had a great
game this game. But but guess what he did. He
(07:06):
stretched out when he shouldn't have stretched out. He put
the ball in jeopardy. And even though they were up
huge in that game, they pulled him for doing what
you're not supposed to do. They get, you know, they're
I think they're up what sixty three to nothing at
this point. I think it was rip before the last touchdown,
Like they're still there. They're hey, freshman, get over here,
(07:28):
where we're taking you out. Don't put the ball in
jeopardy like that. You're not going to get this touchdown now, Sam,
Sam Dixon's gonna get this touchdown now. You had a procedure. Well,
I know, I'm just saying, like, even when it was
sixty three nothing, they were out there. They were out
there coaching and for and and that, and for pulling
(07:48):
the starters appropriately early. I'm gonna give them an A plus.
Uh did you also do a plus?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Car?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I did? Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
How's chat feel? I think they're just gonna go straight, ah, irregularly.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Fine quarterback starting off sixteen for sixteen. I mean, if
you want to be technical, he completed every pass and
never touched the ground.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
For saying no, no, I'm not giving him a place
you can't throw an interception. Yeah, it's grambling A plus.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
It's an A. Yep, it's an A agreed QB is.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
For all qbs. I thought that the other quarterbacks were fine.
I you know, it's not fair to make this assessment
during a Grambling game, but it does look like that
saying is in fact QB one and that's fine. Yeah. Yeah,
(08:47):
I think you lost the plus when you threw the interception.
I thought Link looked fine, not spectacular, and, as Austin
said in the chat, TSC looked like a freshman, which
is quite frankly also fine. I'm I'm fine with the
regular A. I think I think Chat wants to put
(09:08):
a minus on it, but we'll let Chat do Chat.
They're always meaner than us. How do you feel about
the run blocking?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Kyle and A like I yeah, and A. I. I
can't really think of anything negative to say so about
about the run block, So A, I'm with Chat on this.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Considering this the competition you were playing, I would have
liked to have I would like to have seen it
a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I think seven seven point two pop. That's that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
How much of that was late in the game? When what?
What do you have the first half numbers?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Uh? It will take me a moment here.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Okay, I mean you don't have to it's fine, but
I'm gonna say it was probably significantly lower if you
just look at the first half. I'm just saying, you're
playing an FCS school. I kind of want the offensive
line to be just putting them on sleds every single game.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yep. First half, first half they rush the ball thirteen
times for eighty seven yards, so just under seven yards
of pop, and then in the second half twenty five
times for one eighty seven for seven and a half
a pop.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Sorry, what was the average during the first.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Half, just under seven.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, I think you should get it.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
And the second half was seven point five. So they,
I mean they they doubled their rushing attempts, so eighty
seven to one eighty seven. It's it's it's about the same.
It's about the same. It's about the same. I'm gonna
stick with my be plus though, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Pass blocking, no sacks, I don't I don't know if
I had, well, if I ever even remember saying specifically
being pressured. I don't have a specific memory of him
like needing to exit the pocket at any point. I'm
not saying he never did. I'm just saying I don't
remember it. I don't remember thinking about the offensive line
(11:15):
at all during passing, and that's obviously exactly what you want.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, I'm not sure where this happened. But yeah, uh, yep, no, yeh.
No sex, no sex allowed either. Yeah. Yeah, two weeks
in a row with no sacks. Yeah, that's that's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And Texas has pass rushers. Yeah, like it's not.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
You know, it's a huge but yeah, only had one
tackle offensively, only had one play that went for a loss,
and that was a pitch that Donaldson didn't and it's
secure properly.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So other than that, yeah, yeah, that's talking self inflicted.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah, running when they got out in space, when the
running backs out in space, they they did their thing.
They did their thing. Bo Jackson twelve yards of pop,
James people seven point four, Donaldson nine. Even Wes had
over five yards a pop too, so a plus. When
(12:30):
they got out in space, they they did their thing.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah. I thought the running backs looked look good. No
complaints for the running backs.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
No complaints from the receivers. Moving on to the receivers
as well, no no complaints about them. No drops, no
drops at all.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
No drops got open. And remember this is receiving, not receivers,
so we're counting the tight ends here, who also had
a fantastic game.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, Derman had a touchdown, Kakimeric had a touchdown. Yeah,
it was it was a good day for the tight end.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Seven catches, seven catches by the tight ends in this game.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It was the game of the tight end.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It was.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, we're not ready to call a year of the
tight end yet. Uh drives and conversions well through the
first half, I believe they only had I think the
only fase third down.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Tw was yep, two for two. There were two for two,
and I know.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
They they scored a touchdown every time they went into
the red zone. Well, I guess that's not technically yeah, no, no, no
they did, No, they didn't. There was the interception.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, I'm gonna say a. I'm not not an A
plus because they you don't have that perfect red zone anymore.
Like that's that's gone up the window. Now you throw
through the interception in the red zone there other than
that one drive, Yeah, it was going to ask for
anything better. So in a A for driving conversions.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I'll go plus. The best third down is the third
down you don't face. So for that, i'll go I'll
go plus. But you make a good didn't get the
full red zone converted?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Now, can't throw that interception in the red zone get
an A plus. Not against Gramble, Yeah, not against explosion.
Let's see, it's it's almost unfair to even grade.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
This it is. You got Jeremiah who went for eighty
seven yards. Yeah, you had Bo Jackson who went for
fifty one. H Tate had a forty yard America had
a forty seven yard Uh yeah, A lot a lot
of big plays in this one.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, longest touchdown in Ohio stadium history, the Jeremiah Smith
touchdown was so longest past play in Ohio state history.
Not true. Kenny Goyon to Devin Smith ninety yards against Cal.
(15:35):
A news outlet reported that. No, the news outlet said
it was the longest in Ohio stadium.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
In Ohio stadium, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, Kenny Guidon to Devin Smith twenty thirteen against Cal.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
All right, that is the offense. So we'll go ahead
and take our first at break real quick and we'll talk.
We'll give a grades for the defensive side. Here. Uh,

over at thesloopcast dot com. Well, we'll take that ad
break and be right.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Back, all right, Kyle, it's time to move on to
the defensive side of the ball. I thought playing JJ
with a zone and no safe help was a questionable choice.
It sure was. It's a long ad break, Yeah, it
(17:07):
was so long. Yeah, I mean they technically had safety help. Yeah,
I think I think it's probably more accurate to say
that the safety didn't do his job correctly, or at
least didn't know his moment correctly.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah, defense, I mean a shout out. Shoutouts always a
great short thing to have on your on your resume.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Here barely, Yeah, they missed a field goal, but like Jared,
can we see the report card again? Oh I went
to the wrong screen, My bad, Thank you. I do
that sometimes, but that but that's but that's why they're grambling.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
That.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That's that's why they're grambling like, yeah, they they missed
an opportunity or two, But that's that's why they're grambling
That's that's why you expect to shut out a team
like Grambling. Yeah, I have no issues with the game plan.
I mean, I don't know if they did anything, you know,
but you didn't have to do anything, So no complaints.
(18:17):
I'll just do an A yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Name yep, I can't complain a NA.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, Spikes wants to give a plus, and so does Austin,
proving my let's do the plus.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Let's have the plus.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I'm sticking with the standard.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It's a shutout.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
It's a shutout against Grambling. We all we grade on
a curve.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
That's fine. How many times has State played unless our
opponents and didn't get the shutout.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
It's been a long time since we've played a team
as bad as this Grambling team.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
In game coaching, I mean it's it's tough trying to
trying to grade here when everything went right for for
Ohio State. So I guess a for for coach in
game coaching.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, I think I'll go with the standard. A is
you know I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna throw a plus
on this. The freshman showed up in the second half
and looked ready. I was impressed by how ready the
freshmen were well not just the freshman but the backups,
you know what I'm saying, and the walk ons and
(19:29):
the walk ons. So yeah, twenty of them.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
A plus twenty eight yards allowed in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I may drives did We did a lot of clock
killing in the fourth quarter. I don't know how many
plays or drives did Grambling both plays? Yeah, twelve plays
in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah they had they had three drives.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
They had three drives, so all three and ounce.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I mean it's the same like in the.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That the.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Math didn't because yeah, anyway, yeah, I mean in the
first quarter they had three drives, second they had three,
third they had four, and then the fourth they had three.
A right tackling, A right tackling. What would you give
the grade here for the defense on tackling?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I I don't do you remember seeing a misstackle?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Not not the mind there.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
There was the corner blitz. Uh came a little too
fast on that one. Yeah, yeah, needed to respect the
on that fourth down run, I don't specifically remember that,
but I but I believe you. But yeah, their longest run,
(20:54):
I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there, I know what
you're saying. It was a fourth and short, and they
got past the initial wave. I remember now, m M
it was Matthews. Matthews trying to on the safety or
the corner blitz. Yeah, it's kind of interesting. I won't
(21:15):
say funny, but look at the stat sheet and Matthews did.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Not show up on the stat sheet at all, so
he missed his one opportunity to get a tackle.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
That's good corner play. Let's be honest, that is good
corner play. Yes, tackling. We'll go a couple of mistackles.
It's grambling. I think you have to do a lot
to get the to get the plus on that one,
Spikes is gonna throw a minus on it. I'll let
Spikes at Spikes have the minus.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
All right, run stop us.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Aside from that twenty yard that one that kind of
got away where they got twenty yards. How many TFLs
this game? A lot?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I feel like nine in all two of those.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
What do you do you have first half numbers? Again,
like what was their average rush in the first half
versus their second half? Because Austin says, I wanted it
to be so much better in the first half, and
and I do I do agree. At least it felt
like that. The run stop was okay during the first half,
but not predominant during the second half.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Three point six in the first half, two point one
in the second half.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, I think three. I think three point six is
too much. Yeah, against Scrambling, No, it's im I'm I'm
gonna go lower than that. I'm gonna I'm gonna go
with like a I'm gonna be minus. That's three over
three and a half against a subpar FCS team. Yeah,
I think you gotta do better than that.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, right, all right? Pass rush?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Who sacks? They had him running the entire game.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
They did.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I still want to see better from the defensive ends.
I don't especially in a game against Grambling.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, anytime that they were throwing the ball, they they
got it out quickly. So it's really tough to show
it all in the stats that the pass rush was effective.
But you have to look at let me see, let
me see if I can find it. No, I can't
find it real quick here, just just the quarterback hurries
(23:41):
and making them comfortable, get them out of the pocket. There.
I thought it was fine. I'd say as I say
a minus. Obviously, we all love to see sacks and
get those second numbers up. But hard to do that
when they're when they get rid of the ball real quick.
So I say a minus.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, I just I want to see better more consistent
pressure from the defensive ends.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Okay, past coverage, they were fantastic. They didn't allow a
single reception over twenty yards in this game. Receptions front,
how many total receptions? Did like their receivers and tight
ends have, specifically the receivers and tight ends. Let's see here,
(24:29):
number eight had two catches, seventeen had one of those
were their starters, so that was it. So three for
the their tight end, they're tight end. They're tight end
led the team with three catches.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Okay, that's a good game. That's a good game.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah. Plus there a plus, all right, and stops. They
held Grambling three for fourteen on third downs. Okay, in
case you were curious here about how they were first
(25:14):
half to second half. Here one for eight Jared in
the first half one for eight and then twost half
and then two for six in the second half.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Two for six in the second half. They also had
a fourth down conversion and they did Yeah, they got
into the red zone and didn't I mean, they didn't
get a touchdown. I mean they also didn't get a
field goal. The field goal was maybe a bit of
a gift, but they still stopped the touchdown, so you
have to you have to give them credit for that.
(25:45):
So that's a good that's a good red zone conversion
or you know stop.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah, okay, I think it would be a what was
it like a thirty five yard field goal? Think it was.
It wasn't a long field goal, but the same time,
wasn't a chip shot either. It was a mid distant
field goal there that was should be out standards that,
I mean, it should should be. It should be makeable.
(26:13):
But yeah, I'll stick it with a. Okay, I'll have a.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
A's across the board containment one play over twenty yards
for for Grambling.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Uh for let's see.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I know the running back had one that were there
any no receptions twenty zero.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Zero yards of over twenty yard twenty yards or more zero?
Well is their longest run nineteen yards nineteen yards? Okay,
so technically and there and they have and they have,
Uh one of the receivers had a nineteen yard reception
as well, so nothing to twenty yards or more so
eight plus that's that's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, oh oh oh sure, I'll give them the plus.
I mean that that kind of number against the better
opponents automatically an A plus. Against Grambling, it's a it's
a soft A plus.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
They checks given an A. They don't, they don't want
the plus there.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I don't blame them.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I was kind of between the two and impact? How
would you grade the impact in this game?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
So?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
How many turnovers did Ohio State have?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Ohio State cost.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
A Pluspetti John alone, You are wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Silver Bullets had three turnovers.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Three turnovers, two sacks, ninety.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
One touchdowns one touchdown. That's that's an A plus. That's
against day yep, and a shout out to put the
cherry on top. A plus.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Would was that kind of Would that category be better
if I said impact plays? Would that make more sense?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah? Yeah, probably be impact place.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah yeah, I'll adjust that for next week.
Speaker 3 (28:06):

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Overall team rankings overall.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Plus for offense and defense, Yeah, I'd say a plus. Offense.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Offense pretty much scored other than two drives, they were
what was that ten for twelve on scoring touchdowns on drives.
That's exceptional. And the defense was a perfect I don't
know how many drives they had, well three, six thirteen
(29:53):
on their thirteen drives, zero points.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
A plus motivation motivation slash effort. Now, this is the
one time where we this is the one time where
we actually like might scale this in the opposite direction
for Grambling. How how amped up was this team to
(30:17):
play Grambling?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
So I'm actually shocked. I actually Austin. Austin pretty much
said it. I was. I was surprised on how efficient
and how like focused this team was just across all
all aspects, Like it was so focused. They just weren't
(30:42):
just treating it as another day in the office. They
would They came in wanted to prove a point, like
have no just no doubt on anybody's mind that this
is the number one team in the country.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Different color Jersey, get absolutely fucked. That's kind of what
it was. They Yeah, I'm I'm incredibly impressed. And this
is a big shout out to the coaching staff and
to the players. They didn't sleep walk into this game.
And like, look at Georgia versus Austin p Look at
you know, Penn State didn't look great against Florida International
(31:24):
early in that game. And I'm not even blaming those
schools for that. Like a lot of teams kind of
came out slow. A lot of teams kind of came
out slow against really bad opponents last week, and you
kind of don't blame them for that. And I'm just
really impressed that Ohio State didn't execution. No real, I'm
(31:50):
going to blame Clemson. I'm gonna blame Troy for that.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
A for execution?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Was there any like? So there's the interception.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Mm hmm and the one drive where where they did
get into field goal range that that was sure.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
All right, works for me. We'll go with the standard
day yep. Discipline discipline.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Ohio State had three turnovers and two of them were
by the same person.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Caused three turnovers?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
No, no, no discipline discipline. I was think penalties.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, but no, but you said Ohio State had three turnovers.
It just makes it sound.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Like I'm sorry over. I'm sorry, I didn't. I didn't
mean turnovers. I met penalties. They had three penalties, two
of them were the same person.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
What were they? Kyle Austin's asking. I also want to know,
do you have the readily available?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I can find them. Give me, give me one second.
Here's the penalties. Here we go, illegal formation.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, got the young guys in there.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
That was was that and that was the first, I
think the first play in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
They didn't they have another one late in the fourth
maybe maybe okay, maybe that one, maybe that.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
One, Nope. And then there was the off sides both
by Edric Houston.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
That was weird to Yeah, he had two of them.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I had totally forgotten about that. Yeah, that was weird.
And that that's a discipline, not not all penalties or
discipline penalties. That's a discipline penalty. Yeah, gave them.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
It's only three penalties.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Though, Yeah, but in discipline is bigger. Yeah, I say,
discipline is bigger than penalties. It's it's it's a large
your you know, I don't want to that just be
like a sure. If I just wanted to be penalties,
we just call it penalties.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
But Austin, Austin wants to give him a B minus.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Wow, he's mad at Edric.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Right Spikes agrees, all right, special teams. Where's where's my
special where's my special teams?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Here?
Speaker 3 (34:27):
No? No field goal attempts? Uh so, can't can't grade on,
can't grade on that. Let's let's look here. The Grambling
had one kick return for fourteen yards, and Ohio State
had Brandon Innis returning kicks. He had one return punt
(34:51):
for eight yards and a kick return for one for
seventeen yards, and I State with the loan punt for
forty five yards.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, the the in his in has had a a
bit of a bit of a hard stopper moment. He
did return game isn't anything special, especially especially if you're
playing Grambling, like you're playing a team like Grambling, you
almost want to make like some sort of special teams
impact play, whether it be a really long return or
(35:21):
a block.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I'll say A bay a B.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, I'm good with a B.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I think this is my first B. Yeah, this is
my first B.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
We have A. I guess we're going C plus for chat.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Okay, uh turnovers Uhhu State was plus two in this
game here, So I'll say, I'll say be, I'll say
B plus.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
You almost kind of against Grambling you almost want to
go high and plus two.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah, I'll just be let's let's do another B. Yeah,
I'm I really want to grate it a little bit
higher just because just because one of the turnovers did
it was a was a touchdown for a house state too.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, that's fair that that's a that's a valid point.
So what do we have? It's crazy how good the
defense continues to be without a high number of turnovers
or sacks. Yeah, I mean, one of the things you
have in this game where you're maybe not going to
get a ton of turnovers is just that Grambling didn't
(36:40):
probably have all that many plays, Like, they didn't get
a lot of first downs. Therefore they didn't have a
lot of plays. Therefore there's not a ton of opportunity
to get a turnover. Talking myself into into more like
B plus territory, I think, chat, do you have a
did you you have a grade B plus plus? Us
we'll go to B plus? They agree, all right, overall
(37:06):
offensive grade. Yeah, it's Grambling, but yeah, it's it's also
seventy points. I mean, let's let's not be too silly.
It's seventy points A plus.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Yep, A plus. We got a plus in the chat
as well.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And of course it's the defense. You get a shut.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Out three turnovers.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah, but again, I like, you get a shut out
even if it's Grambling. You literally can't do better. Ultimately,
as the defense, it is your job to not allow
any points on the board, and they did not allow
any points on the board, no matter who you're playing.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Yep, A plus a plus, and Austin just wants to nay.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
He says an over, he says a for overall seventy
point diff I'm gonna go a plus even if it's grambling.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Plus right, and it's our that's our scorecard there.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
I guess there, I guess chat's just going a standard day.
That is our report card. There we go. I think
we did a good job here, Yeah, trying to be fair,
but not over.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
We'll have a better I think I think we'll have
a little bit better conversations next next week when we
talk about the Ohio State and Ohio game this time
next week.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, we we lose twenty Vegas points in the upcoming
game against Ohio from a spread, coming from a spread
of fifty five to thirty five? Is it down to
thirty four?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Well it started opened at thirty four and a half.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Oh okay. Ohio is unironically a good football team for
their level. They are good. Yeah, I mean they beat
West Virginia, they passed.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
They beat West Virginia yep.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Which again, like anytime a MAX school can beat a
big twelve school, that's a good day. Like that's a
good day. That's you know, I'm not gonna sit here
and pretend like they're gonna be some huge threat for
Ohio State. They're not gonna be again. Vegas has already
put the line at thirty five points. It is what
(39:21):
it is. But Ohio, I'll tell you this much. Ohio
would destroy Grambling. It's not It's not gonna be seventy nothing.
I'll tell you that much. It's not gonna be seventy nothing.
And Ohio destroy Grambling. Like I said, yeah, it would
be like.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
It'd be like forty nine ten something like that.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Kyle droppin YO thirty nine ten.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
You say forty nine ten.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
So I have to say Kyle just took Ohio at
the points, but I misheard him. All right, Kyle, is
there did anyone have any ask slip cast questions or
is there anything in Kyle's corner you wanna you want
to bring up?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
I guess something interesting. It was brought in when we
did our our slip cast social screening on Saturday night
as we were watching watching some football games Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Watching Oaklahoma defeat the cheater up North team.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Yes, a question was brought up, Hey, has has there
ever been a time that the ap number one and
two team shout out their opponents in the same week,
and we would have thought, like, oh, possibility, that probably
would seem like something that would happen recently, especially like
(40:53):
early on in the early on in the year. But no,
the only time prior to this last week and where
both the ap one and two team shout out their
opponent was in nineteen forty, back in November second, nineteen
forty where the number one team corn Now beat Columbia
(41:13):
twenty seven nothing and number two Notre Dame beat Army
seven nothing.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Did we confirm this?
Speaker 3 (41:22):
I did confirm this.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Yes, okay, okay, I did. Listen. All I'm saying is
is that we've had a spread of misinformation on the
discord server because apparently Google's AI is really really bad
at collecting He.
Speaker 5 (41:43):
Never trusted college football, trusted statistics. We have found AI's
weak point, and that is college football questions. At least
the Google AI people are be like, oh, did you
know this? And then it turns out it's just not true.
It's it's it's been bad. It's double check AI.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Is All I'm saying is, because we've seen it in
vent games that never happened. It's it's weird and don't
trust AI. Ohio State lost to Northern Illinois twenty to
h once allegedly this is what Google AI told us. Yes,
it was in two thousand and one, I believe is
(42:25):
what the Google AI said. Obviously didn't happen. I think
it was two thousand and one because it was Tressel's
first year. They legitimately weren't like that. They legitimately went
like seven and five that year. But yeah, so, and
the thing is not the question was also framed around
(42:49):
like a preseason number one, which Ohio State was definitively
not in two thousand and one. It was not a
good Ohio State football squad in two thousand and one.
All right, that's it. Anything else in Kyle's.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
Corner, there's your there's your proof.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
I believe you that. I believe you that the game's happened.
The question is do we know that no games since
then happened.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
I'm not going through every year, but.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
And that's the fun of AI. You just kind of
believe it because you don't want to put the work in.
And I'm not not to say that you should put
that work in because you shouldn't. But you know what,
I'm saying, but that's the problem anyway. Yeah, are you
good on, Kyle Scorn? Okay, you're good on Kyles Corner.
(43:44):
Tonight's ending music will be brought to you by Columbus
base band called Super Destroyer. All one word super Destroyer.
So with all that being said, like the encourage everyone

course ports local podcasters, once again, this is super Destroyer.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
You didn't speak Kyle?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
All right, Jared, how are you moved today?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Doing good? Uh? New tradition, good tradition, all right, Kyle.
We we we did it. We survived grambling. The uh
you know it was. It was heart wrenching at times.
It was it was nail biting at times, but we
(01:05):
as a community made it through it. And I guess
it's onto the next game.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Mhm yeah, I it's gonna be tough, really trying trying
to break down this break down this uh this matchup
here just because every everything that State wanted to do,
we were able to do on all on all aspects
here special teams. So it's I mean, what what what
(01:37):
can we take away from from this game here?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
My my opinion, I think there's a couple of things.
One in week in week one obviously the obviously the
coaches said that they held saying back, could have had
could have had him do more in that game. But
we we always know Jared world number one, but here
(02:02):
we actually see saying again again against lesser opponents. But
still like you go sixteen for sixteen, I don't care
who you play that's tough to do. That's tough to do.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Absolutely, and then on the seventeenth through an interception, But
you know that was that that was some second start stuff.
That was your guy was open and you just didn't
trust yourself to sling it when you slung it, and
you just got to hear to that ball. Quicker made
the right read, made the right made it like a
(02:37):
good accurate throw. Timing was a bit off. It happens.
He's a right shirt freshman. You know, let's make those
mistakes during grambling.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yep, exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The route wasn't the crippst crispest either, eh, I mean,
I mean fair, but ultimately that's a timing thing on
the quarterback. Yeah, I mean, I mean, just just to
put this in the bigger scope of things, Ohio State
(03:08):
just played five straight games against Top ten opponents going
back to last season. Obviously, and as much as we
sort of like criticized the High State for playing an
FCS school, and as much as Saturday was kind of
a spring game, it was it was a nice return
(03:32):
to pace to go into an Ohio State game knowing
that they were gonna win, because we haven't got to
do that in a while. I kind of felt that
way during Notre Dame. I'm not gonna lie, but it
was it was kind of nice to play a cupcake
again after like I said, five straight, five straight games
(03:53):
of like, I don't know what's gonna happen, you know,
not not that they were all nail biers in the end,
but you know what I'm saying. Mm hmm, Yeah, I
don't know. I guess let's uh, let's get let's get
into the grades, all right.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Sure, so I guess we'll start offense.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Here.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Six hundred and fifty one total yards in this in
this game. Here, three hundred and seventy seven in the air,
two seventy four on the ground. Yeah. Like I mentioned earlier,
anything and everything that they wanted to do, they were
able to to do. Thereat. The great thing here was
just seeing the number of other players being able to
(04:38):
get on the field, get their get their touches, get
their touchdowns. There were nine different players who got who
got a touchdown in this game. It was fun to see,
fun to see all of the different players being able
to to celebrate in the end zone there. Yeah, I
mean so game so game plan for the for the
(05:00):
first for the first report card. Yeah, a plus, Like,
but what more can you ask as an overall game plan?
On offensively? You you score her seventy points? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, hey, you score seventy points. You do what you
should do during this game? Yes, Austin, we always grade
on a curve, or at least we always grade with
the understanding of the context of the game, which is
probably a more accurate way of doing it this game,
which is to say, like, within this game, I like
what they did. They went and they got cats a touchdown,
(05:38):
you know what I mean? They went and they spread
the nine touchdowns over nine separate players, Like you know
what I mean. They they took a second to celebrate
and to give the ball two guys who might not
get a touchdown otherwise, but who are still, you know,
important contributors to the football team, you know what I mean. Like,
(05:59):
they this game as it should have been treated, which
was an exhibition. So yeah, I give them an a
plus for for doing this with doing what should have
been done. God, did you do a plus on your
a Yeah, yep, chat, how do you feel?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Hat an A plus down there? So it's an A
plus here?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
In game?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Coaching didn't really have to make any changes. You got,
you got players who contributed did exceptionally well. I mean
a plus. I can't really think of anything offensively anything
to say wrong, So it's got to be an a plus.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I appreciate that. Even so, let me say this. They
they the starters didn't play in the second half, most
of the starters, they they brought in the second string.
Good thank you, Thank you for doing that and not
waiting two or three drives into the second half. Thank
you for you know. And Bo Jackson had a great
game this game. But but guess what he did. He
(07:06):
stretched out when he shouldn't have stretched out. He put
the ball in jeopardy. And even though they were up
huge in that game, they pulled him for doing what
you're not supposed to do. They get, you know, they're
I think they're up what sixty three to nothing at
this point. I think it was rip before the last touchdown,
Like they're still there. They're hey, freshman, get over here,
(07:28):
where we're taking you out. Don't put the ball in
jeopardy like that. You're not going to get this touchdown now, Sam,
Sam Dixon's gonna get this touchdown now. You had a procedure. Well,
I know, I'm just saying, like, even when it was
sixty three nothing, they were out there. They were out
there coaching and for and and that, and for pulling
(07:48):
the starters appropriately early. I'm gonna give them an A plus.
Uh did you also do a plus?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Car?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I did? Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
How's chat feel? I think they're just gonna go straight, ah, irregularly.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Fine quarterback starting off sixteen for sixteen. I mean, if
you want to be technical, he completed every pass and
never touched the ground.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
For saying no, no, I'm not giving him a place
you can't throw an interception. Yeah, it's grambling A plus.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
It's an A. Yep, it's an A agreed QB is.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
For all qbs. I thought that the other quarterbacks were fine.
I you know, it's not fair to make this assessment
during a Grambling game, but it does look like that
saying is in fact QB one and that's fine. Yeah. Yeah,
(08:47):
I think you lost the plus when you threw the interception.
I thought Link looked fine, not spectacular, and, as Austin
said in the chat, TSC looked like a freshman, which
is quite frankly also fine. I'm I'm fine with the
regular A. I think I think Chat wants to put
(09:08):
a minus on it, but we'll let Chat do Chat.
They're always meaner than us. How do you feel about
the run blocking?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Kyle and A like I yeah, and A. I. I
can't really think of anything negative to say so about
about the run block, So A, I'm with Chat on this.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Considering this the competition you were playing, I would have
liked to have I would like to have seen it
a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I think seven seven point two pop. That's that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
How much of that was late in the game? When what?
What do you have the first half numbers?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Uh? It will take me a moment here.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Okay, I mean you don't have to it's fine, but
I'm gonna say it was probably significantly lower if you
just look at the first half. I'm just saying, you're
playing an FCS school. I kind of want the offensive
line to be just putting them on sleds every single game.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yep. First half, first half they rush the ball thirteen
times for eighty seven yards, so just under seven yards
of pop, and then in the second half twenty five
times for one eighty seven for seven and a half
a pop.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Sorry, what was the average during the first.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Half, just under seven.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, I think you should get it.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
And the second half was seven point five. So they,
I mean they they doubled their rushing attempts, so eighty
seven to one eighty seven. It's it's it's about the same.
It's about the same. It's about the same. I'm gonna
stick with my be plus though, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Pass blocking, no sacks, I don't I don't know if
I had, well, if I ever even remember saying specifically
being pressured. I don't have a specific memory of him
like needing to exit the pocket at any point. I'm
not saying he never did. I'm just saying I don't
remember it. I don't remember thinking about the offensive line
(11:15):
at all during passing, and that's obviously exactly what you want.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, I'm not sure where this happened. But yeah, uh, yep, no, yeh.
No sex, no sex allowed either. Yeah. Yeah, two weeks
in a row with no sacks. Yeah, that's that's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And Texas has pass rushers. Yeah, like it's not.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
You know, it's a huge but yeah, only had one
tackle offensively, only had one play that went for a loss,
and that was a pitch that Donaldson didn't and it's
secure properly.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So other than that, yeah, yeah, that's talking self inflicted.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah, running when they got out in space, when the
running backs out in space, they they did their thing.
They did their thing. Bo Jackson twelve yards of pop,
James people seven point four, Donaldson nine. Even Wes had
over five yards a pop too, so a plus. When
(12:30):
they got out in space, they they did their thing.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah. I thought the running backs looked look good. No
complaints for the running backs.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
No complaints from the receivers. Moving on to the receivers
as well, no no complaints about them. No drops, no
drops at all.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
No drops got open. And remember this is receiving, not receivers,
so we're counting the tight ends here, who also had
a fantastic game.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, Derman had a touchdown, Kakimeric had a touchdown. Yeah,
it was it was a good day for the tight end.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Seven catches, seven catches by the tight ends in this game.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It was the game of the tight end.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It was.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, we're not ready to call a year of the
tight end yet. Uh drives and conversions well through the
first half, I believe they only had I think the
only fase third down.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Tw was yep, two for two. There were two for two,
and I know.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
They they scored a touchdown every time they went into
the red zone. Well, I guess that's not technically yeah, no, no, no
they did, No, they didn't. There was the interception.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, I'm gonna say a. I'm not not an A
plus because they you don't have that perfect red zone anymore.
Like that's that's gone up the window. Now you throw
through the interception in the red zone there other than
that one drive, Yeah, it was going to ask for
anything better. So in a A for driving conversions.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I'll go plus. The best third down is the third
down you don't face. So for that, i'll go I'll
go plus. But you make a good didn't get the
full red zone converted?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Now, can't throw that interception in the red zone get
an A plus. Not against Gramble, Yeah, not against explosion.
Let's see, it's it's almost unfair to even grade.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
This it is. You got Jeremiah who went for eighty
seven yards. Yeah, you had Bo Jackson who went for
fifty one. H Tate had a forty yard America had
a forty seven yard Uh yeah, A lot a lot
of big plays in this one.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, longest touchdown in Ohio stadium history, the Jeremiah Smith
touchdown was so longest past play in Ohio state history.
Not true. Kenny Goyon to Devin Smith ninety yards against Cal.
(15:35):
A news outlet reported that. No, the news outlet said
it was the longest in Ohio stadium.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
In Ohio stadium, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, Kenny Guidon to Devin Smith twenty thirteen against Cal.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
All right, that is the offense. So we'll go ahead
and take our first at break real quick and we'll talk.
We'll give a grades for the defensive side. Here. Uh,

over at thesloopcast dot com. Well, we'll take that ad
break and be right.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Back, all right, Kyle, it's time to move on to
the defensive side of the ball. I thought playing JJ
with a zone and no safe help was a questionable choice.
It sure was. It's a long ad break, Yeah, it
(17:07):
was so long. Yeah, I mean they technically had safety help. Yeah,
I think I think it's probably more accurate to say
that the safety didn't do his job correctly, or at
least didn't know his moment correctly.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah, defense, I mean a shout out. Shoutouts always a
great short thing to have on your on your resume.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Here barely, Yeah, they missed a field goal, but like Jared,
can we see the report card again? Oh I went
to the wrong screen, My bad, Thank you. I do
that sometimes, but that but that's but that's why they're grambling.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
That.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That's that's why they're grambling like, yeah, they they missed
an opportunity or two, But that's that's why they're grambling
That's that's why you expect to shut out a team
like Grambling. Yeah, I have no issues with the game plan.
I mean, I don't know if they did anything, you know,
but you didn't have to do anything, So no complaints.
(18:17):
I'll just do an A yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Name yep, I can't complain a NA.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, Spikes wants to give a plus, and so does Austin,
proving my let's do the plus.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Let's have the plus.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I'm sticking with the standard.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It's a shutout.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
It's a shutout against Grambling. We all we grade on
a curve.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
That's fine. How many times has State played unless our
opponents and didn't get the shutout.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
It's been a long time since we've played a team
as bad as this Grambling team.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
In game coaching, I mean it's it's tough trying to
trying to grade here when everything went right for for
Ohio State. So I guess a for for coach in
game coaching.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, I think I'll go with the standard. A is
you know I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna throw a plus
on this. The freshman showed up in the second half
and looked ready. I was impressed by how ready the
freshmen were well not just the freshman but the backups,
you know what I'm saying, and the walk ons and
(19:29):
the walk ons. So yeah, twenty of them.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
A plus twenty eight yards allowed in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I may drives did We did a lot of clock
killing in the fourth quarter. I don't know how many
plays or drives did Grambling both plays? Yeah, twelve plays
in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah they had they had three drives.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
They had three drives, so all three and ounce.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I mean it's the same like in the.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That the.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Math didn't because yeah, anyway, yeah, I mean in the
first quarter they had three drives, second they had three,
third they had four, and then the fourth they had three.
A right tackling, A right tackling. What would you give
the grade here for the defense on tackling?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I I don't do you remember seeing a misstackle?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Not not the mind there.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
There was the corner blitz. Uh came a little too
fast on that one. Yeah, yeah, needed to respect the
on that fourth down run, I don't specifically remember that,
but I but I believe you. But yeah, their longest run,
(20:54):
I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there, I know what
you're saying. It was a fourth and short, and they
got past the initial wave. I remember now, m M
it was Matthews. Matthews trying to on the safety or
the corner blitz. Yeah, it's kind of interesting. I won't
(21:15):
say funny, but look at the stat sheet and Matthews did.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Not show up on the stat sheet at all, so
he missed his one opportunity to get a tackle.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
That's good corner play. Let's be honest, that is good
corner play. Yes, tackling. We'll go a couple of mistackles.
It's grambling. I think you have to do a lot
to get the to get the plus on that one,
Spikes is gonna throw a minus on it. I'll let
Spikes at Spikes have the minus.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
All right, run stop us.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Aside from that twenty yard that one that kind of
got away where they got twenty yards. How many TFLs
this game? A lot?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I feel like nine in all two of those.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
What do you do you have first half numbers? Again,
like what was their average rush in the first half
versus their second half? Because Austin says, I wanted it
to be so much better in the first half, and
and I do I do agree. At least it felt
like that. The run stop was okay during the first half,
but not predominant during the second half.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Three point six in the first half, two point one
in the second half.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, I think three. I think three point six is
too much. Yeah, against Scrambling, No, it's im I'm I'm
gonna go lower than that. I'm gonna I'm gonna go
with like a I'm gonna be minus. That's three over
three and a half against a subpar FCS team. Yeah,
I think you gotta do better than that.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, right, all right? Pass rush?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Who sacks? They had him running the entire game.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
They did.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I still want to see better from the defensive ends.
I don't especially in a game against Grambling.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, anytime that they were throwing the ball, they they
got it out quickly. So it's really tough to show
it all in the stats that the pass rush was effective.
But you have to look at let me see, let
me see if I can find it. No, I can't
find it real quick here, just just the quarterback hurries
(23:41):
and making them comfortable, get them out of the pocket. There.
I thought it was fine. I'd say as I say
a minus. Obviously, we all love to see sacks and
get those second numbers up. But hard to do that
when they're when they get rid of the ball real quick.
So I say a minus.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, I just I want to see better more consistent
pressure from the defensive ends.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Okay, past coverage, they were fantastic. They didn't allow a
single reception over twenty yards in this game. Receptions front,
how many total receptions? Did like their receivers and tight
ends have, specifically the receivers and tight ends. Let's see here,
(24:29):
number eight had two catches, seventeen had one of those
were their starters, so that was it. So three for
the their tight end, they're tight end. They're tight end
led the team with three catches.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Okay, that's a good game. That's a good game.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah. Plus there a plus, all right, and stops. They
held Grambling three for fourteen on third downs. Okay, in
case you were curious here about how they were first
(25:14):
half to second half. Here one for eight Jared in
the first half one for eight and then twost half
and then two for six in the second half.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Two for six in the second half. They also had
a fourth down conversion and they did Yeah, they got
into the red zone and didn't I mean, they didn't
get a touchdown. I mean they also didn't get a
field goal. The field goal was maybe a bit of
a gift, but they still stopped the touchdown, so you
have to you have to give them credit for that.
(25:45):
So that's a good that's a good red zone conversion
or you know stop.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah, okay, I think it would be a what was
it like a thirty five yard field goal? Think it was.
It wasn't a long field goal, but the same time,
wasn't a chip shot either. It was a mid distant
field goal there that was should be out standards that,
I mean, it should should be. It should be makeable.
(26:13):
But yeah, I'll stick it with a. Okay, I'll have a.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
A's across the board containment one play over twenty yards
for for Grambling.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Uh for let's see.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I know the running back had one that were there
any no receptions twenty zero.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Zero yards of over twenty yard twenty yards or more zero?
Well is their longest run nineteen yards nineteen yards? Okay,
so technically and there and they have and they have,
Uh one of the receivers had a nineteen yard reception
as well, so nothing to twenty yards or more so
eight plus that's that's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, oh oh oh sure, I'll give them the plus.
I mean that that kind of number against the better
opponents automatically an A plus. Against Grambling, it's a it's
a soft A plus.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
They checks given an A. They don't, they don't want
the plus there.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I don't blame them.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I was kind of between the two and impact? How
would you grade the impact in this game?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
So?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
How many turnovers did Ohio State have?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Ohio State cost.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
A Pluspetti John alone, You are wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Silver Bullets had three turnovers.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Three turnovers, two sacks, ninety.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
One touchdowns one touchdown. That's that's an A plus. That's
against day yep, and a shout out to put the
cherry on top. A plus.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Would was that kind of Would that category be better
if I said impact plays? Would that make more sense?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah? Yeah, probably be impact place.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah yeah, I'll adjust that for next week.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Okay, all right, awesome, let's go ahead and take our
next ad break and we'll talk about the overall overall
gratings here again, the subcast dot com is your go

you don't want those extra ads during the actual podcast,
then make sure to check out that Patreon link like
Kyle suggested. Yeah, all right, Kyle.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Overall team rankings overall.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Plus for offense and defense, Yeah, I'd say a plus. Offense.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Offense pretty much scored other than two drives, they were
what was that ten for twelve on scoring touchdowns on drives.
That's exceptional. And the defense was a perfect I don't
know how many drives they had, well three, six thirteen
(29:53):
on their thirteen drives, zero points.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
A plus motivation motivation slash effort. Now, this is the
one time where we this is the one time where
we actually like might scale this in the opposite direction
for Grambling. How how amped up was this team to
(30:17):
play Grambling?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
So I'm actually shocked. I actually Austin. Austin pretty much
said it. I was. I was surprised on how efficient
and how like focused this team was just across all
all aspects, Like it was so focused. They just weren't
(30:42):
just treating it as another day in the office. They
would They came in wanted to prove a point, like
have no just no doubt on anybody's mind that this
is the number one team in the country.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Different color Jersey, get absolutely fucked. That's kind of what
it was. They Yeah, I'm I'm incredibly impressed. And this
is a big shout out to the coaching staff and
to the players. They didn't sleep walk into this game.
And like, look at Georgia versus Austin p Look at
you know, Penn State didn't look great against Florida International
(31:24):
early in that game. And I'm not even blaming those
schools for that. Like a lot of teams kind of
came out slow. A lot of teams kind of came
out slow against really bad opponents last week, and you
kind of don't blame them for that. And I'm just
really impressed that Ohio State didn't execution. No real, I'm
(31:50):
going to blame Clemson. I'm gonna blame Troy for that.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
A for execution?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Was there any like? So there's the interception.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Mm hmm and the one drive where where they did
get into field goal range that that was sure.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
All right, works for me. We'll go with the standard
day yep. Discipline discipline.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Ohio State had three turnovers and two of them were
by the same person.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Caused three turnovers?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
No, no, no discipline discipline. I was think penalties.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, but no, but you said Ohio State had three turnovers.
It just makes it sound.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Like I'm sorry over. I'm sorry, I didn't. I didn't
mean turnovers. I met penalties. They had three penalties, two
of them were the same person.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
What were they? Kyle Austin's asking. I also want to know,
do you have the readily available?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I can find them. Give me, give me one second.
Here's the penalties. Here we go, illegal formation.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, got the young guys in there.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
That was was that and that was the first, I
think the first play in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
They didn't they have another one late in the fourth
maybe maybe okay, maybe that one, maybe that.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
One, Nope. And then there was the off sides both
by Edric Houston.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
That was weird to Yeah, he had two of them.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I had totally forgotten about that. Yeah, that was weird.
And that that's a discipline, not not all penalties or
discipline penalties. That's a discipline penalty. Yeah, gave them.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
It's only three penalties.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Though, Yeah, but in discipline is bigger. Yeah, I say,
discipline is bigger than penalties. It's it's it's a large
your you know, I don't want to that just be
like a sure. If I just wanted to be penalties,
we just call it penalties.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
But Austin, Austin wants to give him a B minus.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Wow, he's mad at Edric.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Right Spikes agrees, all right, special teams. Where's where's my
special where's my special teams?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Here?
Speaker 3 (34:27):
No? No field goal attempts? Uh so, can't can't grade on,
can't grade on that. Let's let's look here. The Grambling
had one kick return for fourteen yards, and Ohio State
had Brandon Innis returning kicks. He had one return punt
(34:51):
for eight yards and a kick return for one for
seventeen yards, and I State with the loan punt for
forty five yards.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, the the in his in has had a a
bit of a bit of a hard stopper moment. He
did return game isn't anything special, especially especially if you're
playing Grambling, like you're playing a team like Grambling, you
almost want to make like some sort of special teams
impact play, whether it be a really long return or
(35:21):
a block.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I'll say A bay a B.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, I'm good with a B.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I think this is my first B. Yeah, this is
my first B.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
We have A. I guess we're going C plus for chat.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Okay, uh turnovers Uhhu State was plus two in this
game here, So I'll say, I'll say be, I'll say
B plus.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
You almost kind of against Grambling you almost want to
go high and plus two.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah, I'll just be let's let's do another B. Yeah,
I'm I really want to grate it a little bit
higher just because just because one of the turnovers did
it was a was a touchdown for a house state too.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, that's fair that that's a that's a valid point.
So what do we have? It's crazy how good the
defense continues to be without a high number of turnovers
or sacks. Yeah, I mean, one of the things you
have in this game where you're maybe not going to
get a ton of turnovers is just that Grambling didn't
(36:40):
probably have all that many plays, Like, they didn't get
a lot of first downs. Therefore they didn't have a
lot of plays. Therefore there's not a ton of opportunity
to get a turnover. Talking myself into into more like
B plus territory, I think, chat, do you have a
did you you have a grade B plus plus? Us
we'll go to B plus? They agree, all right, overall
(37:06):
offensive grade. Yeah, it's Grambling, but yeah, it's it's also
seventy points. I mean, let's let's not be too silly.
It's seventy points A plus.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Yep, A plus. We got a plus in the chat
as well.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And of course it's the defense. You get a shut.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Out three turnovers.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah, but again, I like, you get a shut out
even if it's Grambling. You literally can't do better. Ultimately,
as the defense, it is your job to not allow
any points on the board, and they did not allow
any points on the board, no matter who you're playing.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Yep, A plus a plus, and Austin just wants to nay.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
He says an over, he says a for overall seventy
point diff I'm gonna go a plus even if it's grambling.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Plus right, and it's our that's our scorecard there.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
I guess there, I guess chat's just going a standard day.
That is our report card. There we go. I think
we did a good job here, Yeah, trying to be fair,
but not over.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
We'll have a better I think I think we'll have
a little bit better conversations next next week when we
talk about the Ohio State and Ohio game this time
next week.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, we we lose twenty Vegas points in the upcoming
game against Ohio from a spread, coming from a spread
of fifty five to thirty five? Is it down to
thirty four?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Well it started opened at thirty four and a half.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Oh okay. Ohio is unironically a good football team for
their level. They are good. Yeah, I mean they beat
West Virginia, they passed.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
They beat West Virginia yep.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Which again, like anytime a MAX school can beat a
big twelve school, that's a good day. Like that's a
good day. That's you know, I'm not gonna sit here
and pretend like they're gonna be some huge threat for
Ohio State. They're not gonna be again. Vegas has already
put the line at thirty five points. It is what
(39:21):
it is. But Ohio, I'll tell you this much. Ohio
would destroy Grambling. It's not It's not gonna be seventy nothing.
I'll tell you that much. It's not gonna be seventy nothing.
And Ohio destroy Grambling. Like I said, yeah, it would
be like.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
It'd be like forty nine ten something like that.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Kyle droppin YO thirty nine ten.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
You say forty nine ten.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
So I have to say Kyle just took Ohio at
the points, but I misheard him. All right, Kyle, is
there did anyone have any ask slip cast questions or
is there anything in Kyle's corner you wanna you want
to bring up?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
I guess something interesting. It was brought in when we
did our our slip cast social screening on Saturday night
as we were watching watching some football games Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Watching Oaklahoma defeat the cheater up North team.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Yes, a question was brought up, Hey, has has there
ever been a time that the ap number one and
two team shout out their opponents in the same week,
and we would have thought, like, oh, possibility, that probably
would seem like something that would happen recently, especially like
(40:53):
early on in the early on in the year. But no,
the only time prior to this last week and where
both the ap one and two team shout out their
opponent was in nineteen forty, back in November second, nineteen
forty where the number one team corn Now beat Columbia
(41:13):
twenty seven nothing and number two Notre Dame beat Army
seven nothing.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Did we confirm this?
Speaker 3 (41:22):
I did confirm this.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Yes, okay, okay, I did. Listen. All I'm saying is
is that we've had a spread of misinformation on the
discord server because apparently Google's AI is really really bad
at collecting He.
Speaker 5 (41:43):
Never trusted college football, trusted statistics. We have found AI's
weak point, and that is college football questions. At least
the Google AI people are be like, oh, did you
know this? And then it turns out it's just not true.
It's it's it's been bad. It's double check AI.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Is All I'm saying is, because we've seen it in
vent games that never happened. It's it's weird and don't
trust AI. Ohio State lost to Northern Illinois twenty to
h once allegedly this is what Google AI told us. Yes,
it was in two thousand and one, I believe is
(42:25):
what the Google AI said. Obviously didn't happen. I think
it was two thousand and one because it was Tressel's
first year. They legitimately weren't like that. They legitimately went
like seven and five that year. But yeah, so, and
the thing is not the question was also framed around
(42:49):
like a preseason number one, which Ohio State was definitively
not in two thousand and one. It was not a
good Ohio State football squad in two thousand and one.
All right, that's it. Anything else in Kyle's.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
