Speaker 1 (00:37):
Anchor's upsells it full welcome to the Suitcass.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
How you are doing a third time?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Roger?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
How are you doing good?

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Doing good? Doing good?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
It is a tradition what you say, alright, always get on,
all right, what have we got on?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
What have we got on the dock in for today?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
We got another episode of scarlet grade Purdue edition. Here
Buckeyes leave West Lafayette with a thirty four to ten victory.
It's really interesting looking at the stats against stats don't
tell the whole story flows of a game here, but

(01:20):
we look at the stats here like man like I'll
say it had their way, had their way with their
producer here and sure, sure, sure you can. You can
look at that they had thirty they had thirty four points,
They had almost five hundred total yards. They held Purdue
to under two hundred yards. They were was nine for

(01:41):
thirteen or third downs thirty three percent third downs for Purdue.
You're like, yeah, ah State took care of business. But
it's yeah, it definitely it's different. It was. It's it's
hard for me to put into words like the game
here because there's times when you saw your like come on,

(02:06):
like like players aren't playing to their full potential. There's
just too many mistakes. How many? How many? I was
trying to see if I can quickly find how many
penalties of Hoo State had, because it felt like there's
an unusual number of penalties in this game. Here was

(02:28):
just sloppy. I guess it's probably the one I want
to use it. It was a it was a sloppy
game overall.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Sure, you know, I think we've and there's a there's
a spot on the report card for this, so I'm
jumping the gun tad. But I think we've given this team,
and and just Ryan day teams in general. I think
we've given them a lot of credit for not having
like letdown games against obviously lesser apout us. You know,

(03:02):
they always seem to show up ready, motivated, executing, you know,
whether it be Trestle or even Urban. There were games
where they'd be playing a lesser opponent and they'd come
out and kind of sleep walk for a while. And
I would say, generally speaking, Ryan Day's teams don't do
that nearly as much, but this they were kind of

(03:26):
sleepwalking for this game a bit. Yeah, they don't score
in the first quarter, there's kind of a crap block
in the back call against Jeremiah Smith that took a
great run.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Off the board.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
If that run doesn't get called off the board, this
podcast maybe has a totally different tone, probably has a
totally different tone. You know, the rushing statistics would look better.
We wouldn't have that to complain about. You'd score it
really quickly, so you know, we wouldn't be looking at
a you know, a first quarter score in which you're

(04:02):
losing to Purdue. Not that, like, not that it matters
who cares. At the end of the day, who cares.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
We're not.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
We're no longer playing in the bcs AP dominated style
points you know, eye test stuff. You know, you're just
very much in a hey, just keep winning your games
and you'll be fine territory. And quite frankly, I think

(04:31):
Ryan Day kind of coaches the games like that. He's
not going for style points. He's trying to shorten games.
He's trying to limit snaps and as much as like
we would you know, actually probably really love to see
Ohio State be up thirty four to nothing at the
end of the first half instead of the end of

(04:52):
the third quarter. That's it's not what we saw. Sure,
or they got those ten points in the third quarter,
So that's not even that's not even what we saw.
But you understand my point.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, before we go into the report card on to
two side, a couple of couple of things I saw,
like on the offensive offensive side, because defense, I'm fine
with how the defense was. Yes, they they let up
the field goal in the in the first quarter. Sucks, sure,
Like it seems like every team has that one good

(05:34):
drive in the game, and that was their one drive. Yes,
they scored a last last minute touchdown end of the game.
Whatever cares three points from the main starters there, that's
a win. That's a huge win. Now offensively reasons, yeah,
of offensively, I think there was just some I think

(05:58):
I think you probably nailed at Jared with the the running,
the big play from Bo Jackson that got called back,
and it just felt like everybody was just kind of
like h just always being down on everything else that
was going up going on with the team. If it
wasn't perfect, if it wasn't going well, it was a failure.

(06:20):
It was kind of the field the the feedback I
was kind of perceiving from a lot of the fan
base here. But how I took this team here like
as we've seen all year, just taking control of the ball,
just limiting the number of possessions that the team have.

(06:42):
That's how they've been all game. They had what one, two, three, four,
or five six drives. Six of their nine drives, Jared,
were over five minutes in length, one of them that
was eight and a half minutes. They dominated the time
of position forty one minutes to nineteen minutes. It's an absurd,

(07:05):
absurd That tells how the dominance that the defense was dominant, dominant, dominance.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Spikes, good stuff. He goes after the Purdue field goal,
their drives. Their next five drives went four plays, two plays,
three plays, five plays, three plays, and in that same
time span, Ohio State went touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, field goal.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, here, here you go if you and I know
you see it too, Spikes. But that's that's exactly what
I was about about to stay here, getting into the
the second part here about the offense. We saw, we
saw it just a glimpse. We saw glimpse, and then
we'll get right into the to the grating here, Jared.

(07:54):
We saw a tiny glimpse at the end of the
first half. What Ryan Day can do when he's like,
all right, let's do tempo, let's let's get some points.
And we saw that. Yeah, you look, you look at
you look at the drives. How State first drive twelve plays,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry after the punt, nine plays seventy

(08:15):
five yards, ten plays eighty nine yards, nine plays thirty
yards and all of those took over five minutes to
eat up the clock. And then all of a sudden,
hey we only have forty seven seconds, forty seven seconds
left on the clock. Seven plays, forty five yards only
forty four seconds. That tells me that he can he

(08:39):
can crank that. Yeah, into into four, fifth, six, whatever gear,
however many gears this team has when when when they need.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
We saw it in the third quarter against Penn State
as well. I think we talked about this last week
where we kind we saw the playoff offense in the
third quarter last week. I think we kind of all
the playoff offense for you know, the last driver to
this week of the second quarter. Sure, but let's let's
we we really need to get into the report card.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I know, I know, I just wanted to make I
just wanted to make that point. And I think they
did in the broadcast as well. They've ran so many
need less plays than the average, and it's pretty much
one less game than the average team is running play
wise too.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, I'm breaking things on the visuals. You keep talking, I.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Will keep talking. Right, Let's all right, We're going to
do this quickly though, Jared. I know we spent a
lot of time up front here, but we're going to
go quickly through the report card here, starting with the offense. Yeah,
quickly in quotes. Yes, game plan. I was fine with
the game plan. We knew that Purdue going in here
wasn't wasn't all that great on the defensive side. I

(09:56):
mean overall it was not all that great too, So
trying to like rand daid, like, hey, got established a run.
That's that's something weak that we need to work on.
Right at forty three times here, you didn't get the
you didn't get It wasn't a lot of the big
plays that you're wanting to other than the one that
got called back. But I didn't mind the game plan.

(10:21):
So I'll say like an A minus. Yeah you rushed
four hundred yeah, minus the sacks. Yeah, it was one
hundred and ninety three yards. But with the sacks forty
three attempts one hundred and seventy yards four yards on average.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
And again I think the the rushing numbers look a
lot better, if not for a very questionable.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Sure A minus for mind, Jared.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Okay, I'll go. I think I'll do an A minus
as well. Sukes will go with a regular all right.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
In game coaching, again, I don't mind with how the
coaches were. We're playing calls.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
We're called defense.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, thank you, I don't mind. I don't have an issue,
So I'll just say an A.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah. Uh, we got link in there at one point
that was fun. Gonna go ahead and throw that on
the tape.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
They got Nate Roberts trying to play fullback for a.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Play and it totally went great. But hey, you know what,
you put it on the tape. Now the other teams
have to be aware of it, which is kind of
what a Purdue game is for. Gotta mess around with
tayaut Here's the thing they didn't and then, like when
the first quarter doesn't go well, they pulled the actual
offense out of the garage and played with that for

(11:50):
a little bit, and y then you know, sort of
laxadasically moved through the second half, which again I'm fine with.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
All right, quarterback twenty seven four thirty three still an
absurdly percentage eighty two percent. I think we were we
were on that over there. I think Austin said over
under eighty percent. We're like, I mean, he he keeps
doing it.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
So let's do think Austin's number was like seventy seven,
wasn't it but or something like that, But yeah, it was,
and he hit it, and like he he can't. We can't.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
We can't do an A.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Plus on a day when you throw across your body
late seventy seven an interception, you can't do that. I'm sorry,
you're no longer lower, You're no longer a freshman at
this point. Sorry is that you don't get freshman expectations anymore, especure.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
When you're leading in the Heisman? Is he still quote
quote rankings? I don't know if it's update or not.
I don't know. Last I heard like he was leading it.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
I'm sure it's either him or Mendoza. Yeah, and honestly,
who cares.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
I'm gonna I'm gonna say a B we gore to
say B B plus let's say B plus for for that.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
That feels rough. I'm gonna be honest with you.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
I mean an interception in the end zone and the
game would have felt much better too. We talked about
the mentioned about the big run that went for a
touch touchdown was removed. There was seven points right there
that could have been added on as well too.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Kyle twenty seven of thirty three, three hundred and three yards,
eighty two percent completion percentage. For whatever the quarterback rating
is worth, he was one hundred and sixty two point nine.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
I know. But that interception in the red zone is
which is why.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, I mean, that's why knocking down to any minus. Anyway,
we're splitting here. Run blocking, run blocking.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
I gotta say a C. I gotta say a C here.
The run blocking is is ugh, like, what is going on?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
What is going on? There's not enough, there's not against
this defensive line. It should have looked good at times.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Yeah, got got gotta some something's gotta change here. There's
not enough, not enough leverage, not enough push from this
offensive line when they're trying to establish the run. Here.
Thankfully we have Jackson and West that have looked good.
They've had they had pretty good averages for the game,

(14:38):
but you did.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, well, I say it was down to offensive linemen
for this game. Now one of them isn't necessarily a starter,
but has been playing a lot in in Padia. We
got to Ian Moore got to play a lot. So
you know it was isn't the normal offensive line, but yeah,

(15:05):
they kind of played like the normal offensive line, which
is that they passed, blocked well enough, but didn't necessarily
run block all that great as we transition into pass blocking.
That being said, they did give up two sacks.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna say a expectations this. This
offensive line does so much better on the on the
pass blocking, yeah, more so than the run blocking.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
We'll say he got hit.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
He hit got hit quite a bit of quite a bit.
Two sacks as well in this one. One of those
was expectations that's been going on here. I'm gonna say,
like a b I say, be on the pass block.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
One of those was on West. He just really missed
the linebacker pick up on the blitz. But we are
talking about pass blocking, so we are grading past blocking
as a whole. But just in defense of the offensive line,
really the offensive line only gave up one sack. I'll

(16:03):
go it was perdue be minus. All right, that was
their fourth and fifth that sack of the season. Yeah,
I mean, that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
It's cool. It's sort of like.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
As a unit. As a season, they're still doing tremendous
considering the competition level they're playing in this.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Game, they can and should do better.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
All right, before we get to the running one, we'll
take our first ad break real quick. We are the Slipcast.

you can listen to on on the podcast version. You

(17:18):
can you can find all those playlists over at theswoopcast
dot com. We'll go ahead and take that a break.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
And be right back, all right, running, all.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Right, running, I I'm gonna say like an anus for
the running backs. I I thought, overall, the running backs
did really well running the ball. At times, they they
were putting too tough positions and made made something out
of nothing here. I really like bo seems to be

(18:06):
pretty much healthy, and West has saw a lot of action.
Nine rushing attempt sixty yards six point seven a pop there. Yeah,
I really like what I see out of West here.
So I'll say an A minus for the running.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Backs, well for running. If we're doing for running backs,
I might punish Isaiah West a little bit more for
his past blocking abilities, but we're talking about running.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, no, I again, I don't think the run blocking
was all that spectacular. But yet Jackson five point four,
Isaiah West six point seven. Donaldson, you know, doesn't necessarily
show in the stats except for the fact that he
has two touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Had a good game.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, I thought the running backs stood good. Hey all right?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
And receivers all right?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
So what's great with the understanding that Cardinal Tate did
not play? Surprisingly, is there anything bad that the receivers did?

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
They're well. Part of the reason why the first drive
uh didn't go anywhere is because we did have a
is it my Lingraham drop a ball he really should
have caught over the middle. That killed that drive. You know, freshman,
he's a freshman, he's a very talented player. He'll he'll
he'll be fine, He'll he'll bounce back, He'll be good.

(19:44):
He took a shot too though. No, yeah, I'm not
saying I'm not saying it was a bad drops. Yeah,
I think I would say it was probably more that
you know, it wasn't like an egregious drop. It was
a pass he should have caught. But yeah, I mean overall,

(20:05):
I mean, okay, Max Claire had a really good game,
Jeremiah Smith had a great game, Brandon Ennis did really well,
and just sort of collectively, you know, Rogers gets too Nate,
Nate Roberts gets too, Milon Graham gets a catch for

(20:26):
twenty yards. The running backs had a decent day catching
the ball. Yeah, I thought receiving did, especially considering you're
missing Carnel Tate, who I've seen projected as a top
ten pick in the NFL draft.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
It plus.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
You you lose one of the best wide receivers in
the country and honestly didn't even slow you down.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, I'm gonna say, I was saying A I was,
I was stick with just a solid a just absurd stats.
It's just absurd stats. Looking at Jeremiah Smith here like
it just it's just hilarious. How many games now they're
I'm gonna have to look this and maybe post this
in our discord page, Jared, how many games always be plugging? Yes?

(21:20):
How many games has it been? Were targets to Jeremiah
Smith is equal to the number of catches that he's
had ten ten targets. Ten targets to Jeremiah Smith, ten catches?

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, it's crazy, actually kind of crazy.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
All right.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Drives, Uh, Ohio State had drives and conversions nine drives,
six scoring drives and was di do there? We got
nine for thirteen on third downs, which is really good,
really good. You're at sixty nine percent nice third down conversions,

(22:02):
very nice, very nice. So yeah, I mean, only you
have to penalize a little bit for the intercept the
turnover in the red zone there. That that sure, that's
learn learn you'll learn. You'll learn through that though. Yeah.

(22:22):
And that ninth Yeah, that ninth drive shouldn't count either,
So sure eight for yeah, eight drives six six of
those were scoring.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
So yeah, in the I mean, obviously there was obviously
there was a there was a fourth quarter field goal,
but the the second quarter field goal was because of
the clock on a really good drive. So you can't
count that against them. Yeah, I thought they And you know,
I'm not going to give an a plus simply because

(22:55):
it was per due.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
You didn't score in two of the quarters.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know it's it's p due.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
You could have gone a little harder.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
I'll just regular like those kind of long drives will
do that, will do that, like, oh you didn't score
any oh you seven? Yeah, but it was Purdue. Sure.
As for me?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Okay, how why were you arguing and then give a
worse grade than I did.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
I wasn't arguing. I was agreeing with you.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Jeez, okay, sounds like you're making excuses.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Sure, explosive plays.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Where is that at?

Speaker 3 (23:40):
I just had it? Big plays? How State had? Oh boy,
a lot a lot of big plays in this in
this game here Jared eight passing plays of fifteen yards
or more and seven rushing plays of ten.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Or more yards.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
This was this was a big they can big play.
It was a big play the game here. So I
got to give an A plus. I'm going to add
the plus in here. This was they made some big
plays in the in this game here and again showing
how just how this team like loves these long drives

(24:22):
and the team's kind of the defenses that State has
played is trying to like a shell defense, like everything
in front of them, which High State has to do
the shorter plays to get get what the defense.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Theeremi triple covered anyway, and deliver it in the absolute
most perfect ball position possible. And just having beat the
triple team for a touchdown that's also available to you.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah, A plus, I think I think, okay, I'll match that. Sure,
all right, all right, right to the defense here, game plan.
I mean, we knew, we knew, we knew produced offense
was not all that great here.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah, one hundred and eighty six yards that they led
up ten points. Sure, maybe you can just say three
points by the first team.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Sure, yeah, seven of those against the backup squad.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
I gotta say, ay, I'll say ay. I was very
very happy with what I saw overall. Yeah, it sucks
that second drive. They they had a very long drive,
twelve play seventy yards, five and a half minute drive sure,
but it was one. It was literally, you're not getting
the plus.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, that's kind of perfectly said Kyle. That's why you're
not getting the plus, but you're still getting an A.
I think that's totally valid.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
In game coaching. I A A as well too. I
I don't really have much more to say A A
as well. There wasn't really much change that they needed
to do against Purdue, so I'm not going up. I'm
not gonna say anything negative to A.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I'm actually gonna throw the plus here.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
You know, they let up the one long drive and
then totally shut things down at least with the starters
in after that point. That's true, you made, you made adjustments.
I like that there was a pretty decent mix through
the game where they you saw some of the back
I saw like Pettijohn and some of the defense some

(26:34):
of the defensive backups in the game like onesie twosies
in the lineup early on. I liked they take the
opportunity that is the Purdue game to you know, just
reach into the depth chart a little bit.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
I like the in game coaching A plus.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Okay, tackling, I think I think it was early on
how State was there was that one drive. It was
the one drive. Yeah, it was the one drive honestly
tackling issues but.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
And honestly it was kind of just the I'm not
gonna say who it was also.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Kind of just the one person.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Sure. Other than that one drive, the all of the
other uh, all of the other drives that the that
Purdue has had, so the other seven seven plus I
cannot talk seven drives I was fine with. So I'll
say a oh go a plus all right, Uh, run stop.

(27:42):
They did a great They did a great job up
until the until that last drive when they just were
able to run the ball on State's second, second, third teams,
freshman teams, whatever you want to call it, though honestly
did a really good job. Let me let me find
the Let me find that by orders here because because
the final the final numbers don't do justice because the

(28:06):
quarter rand the ball four point two yards per rush
as the final stat but you look, you look at
it per yeah, per two point six yards in the
first quarter. Uh, they were six yards in the second
court six yards per carrying the second quarter, but they

(28:26):
only ran it four times, so three three point eight
yards total in the first half and then the third
quarter they only ran it four times for three point
five yards, and then they opted more in the in
the fourth quarter. They averaged over five yards to carry
in the fourth quarter, and they ran the ball a
lot in that one. I would say, I would say,

(28:50):
I would say.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
In a.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
And then Spikes points out in the chat they were
without Macabie in this game. Fair, So maybe that that
does lower the expectations that Tad so he's gonna minus,
I'm gonna agree with him and say minus, I agree.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
I agree with that too. All right, pass rush zero sex,
zero sex in this one. Yes, quarterback did get uncomfortable
back there, had to make had to move around at
times two. But I would expect I would expect Ohio
State to be able to get get some more sex

(29:29):
in here. The Purdue was averaging quarterback sex per play
at just over five percent of the time, which is
fifty second in the country, and State got zero. I
felt like a State should have been able to get
home at least a couple of times in this game.

(29:51):
But I'll say, I'll say b I'll say be for
a pass rush.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
There were a lot and I mean lot of three
man rushes this game.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
There were yes, some two man rushes.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, And as Spike says or as Esquire says, they
played a lot of intentional contain on the rush. They
were basically just daring Purdue to throw the ball and sure,
it's would your great Jared, Yeah, it's hard because the

(30:34):
pass rush wasn't productive, but they also didn't necessarily game
plan for it to be all that productive. But at
the same time, produce offensive line is not all that great.
So even if you're not game planning for it to
be production productive, maybe it still should be productive.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Be minus.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
I guess okay, all right, before we go to the
past coverage, we're going to take our second ad break
here and we'll get to finishing our our ratings. Here
uh thesloopcasts dot com your link for anything everything sloop
cast related, will point out our discord page Discord dot

Jared and I, the rest of the soup Cats, the
rest of anybody else that's joined our discord family, head
on over to discord dot The sloopcast dot com. A
lot of great interactions, especially on the weekends with Ohio
State college football. If you're into the NFL or into

(31:31):
any other professional sports. There's a lot of different channels
for your cup of TEA big, big open family here,
and we'll welcome anybody who wants to join with open arms,
as long as you agree to the terms and conditions
that you are an Ohio State fan and that you.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Bowed down to the greatness that is Ohio State, and
that you don't talk politics in the discord, because that's
also good tables that too.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
You can find that and much more over at desewcast
dot com. Take that abricon be right back.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Quick thoughts on the pass rush. My current conspiracy theory
why it's Ohio State so often not pursuing the quarterback
that much, whether it be three man rushes or playing
a lot to contain they're planning for Underwood. No. I

(32:36):
think my current thought is is that you know, we've
talked about this on the podcast for years now, that
the sort of the book against Ohio State is get
rid of the ball quickly. Get rid of the ball, quickly,
get rid of the ball quickly. I can't help but
wonder if they're trying to give other teams these like

(33:00):
a sense of security that they don't have to get
rid of the ball quickly, and then when they really
feel like they need to get a pass rush, then
they can send a linebacker or two and get to
the quarterback immediately. Sure, that's sort of the vibe I
think I'm starting to get. It's like selecting when lulling

(33:25):
into a false sense sense of security that you might
have some time to throw the ball, and right when
they start to feel secure in that ability to throw
the ball, you take it away from them.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
I don't know if that's true or not. That might
be copium. I'm not sure, but that's sort of the
theory I've been rolling around in my head for a bit.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Sure, all right, moving on to pass coverage real quick.
I thought it was fine. Didn't didn't really have any
big issues with the with the defensive backs or just
coverage in general. Here. Yeah, held them to ninety four yards. Yeah,
that was crazy, crazy good. Another another game where they

(34:07):
held an opponent to under one hundred yards, Like, that's
that's absurd, that's absurd. Here. A plus, I'm gonna say
a plus here. The first team didn't the first team
didn't allow a passing didn't allow passing touchdown. They did
on their last drive when again other players were in
there too, very very happy with what I saw from

(34:29):
the from the pass coverage side. A plus.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
What did you what did you say when we were
talking about the game plan? That second drive is why
you don't get the plus. That second drive is why
you don't get the plus. I'm going with just a standard,
all right, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Impact plays.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
They did get it. They did also get a pick.
That's a good point.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Spokes, they got got an intercept resulted in a touchdown,
so that's yeah, that's that's a that's a big plus
in that way there.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Stops.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
We talked about literally every drive except the second drive,
at least with the starters in and how they basically
went on a string of drive where Purdue only had
five plays or less. I think even even with the

(35:33):
second drive, I'm going to give them the plus on
that just just and you talked about two two to
one on the on the play clock or not on
the play clock, on the time of possession. That's that's
crazy work. I would say a plus.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, Yeah, it was. Yeah, I would say I would
say a plus. A plus as well.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Would have liked to see the backups not give up
a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Though, Yeah, I think I think we all did a
lot of a lot of people for reasons, for reasons, yes,
and don't break.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Don't break.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Did Purdue have any.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Big plays?

Speaker 3 (36:30):
They had four that had one only one passing play
that went more than fifteen yards and that was on
that that was on the that second drive that ended
up being field goal. And then they had three rushing
plays they first drive, second quarter, and third quarter which

(36:56):
was ten, twelve and ten yards. Nothing huge rushing either too.
So I'm gonna say a plus. I'll add the plus there,
Like it wasn't consistent, It wasn't consistent of getting big
plays like Ohio State did. Like I said, they had

(37:17):
crazy amount of big plays. What was that fifteen? Fifteen
big plays there? So I'll add the plus.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
I believe you mean ex girlfriend, Austin.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
I'm sorry to hear if there's issues going on, Austin.
But all right, all right, we're going to move on
to the overall. We're going to move on to the
overall here, all right, in game coaching.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
You said you said ex wife instead of ex girlfriend.
That's I know the joke. I invented the joke. I
was there.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Oh okay, Okay, I thought you were doing the other.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Joke right, Hey, A for in game coaching, we'll just
rapid fire these.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Jared, Yeah, that's what we always say.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Well, we're doing it right now quick in game coaching.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
In game coaching.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Is good motivation effort. We're gonna I'm gonna say, I'm
gonna say, yeah, he's he's.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Gonna throw in a last second minus on that. We
gotta be minus in a C in the chest. So
they're sharing our I've reached.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Out to a C.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Execution, I mean there wasn't really anything that was like
other than maybe a drop pass here by by true
freshmen in that first drive.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
I thought the elution was there. I thought execution, I
don't think so.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
I think there was a lot of issues with blocking assignments, sure, sure,
just overall sloppy play.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
I was gonna be I was thinking of B overall.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go like a C plus
I think.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Okay, and we got to be in the chat there
as well, so I have great minds think alike here,
all right, discipline six penalties for sixty three yards. That's
that's a lot. That was a lot here, the one
was a bull crap call that we all will agree with.
The first play there use exactly.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Then there was the past interference call on Iggy, which
by then there was technically.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Correct, and then there was a false start and a
holding on the offense. So that's three on the offense.
Then there's three four on the defense, but one wasn't called.
Uh well, what wasn't accepted? So we had the past
interference on agate face mask on Scott on Aaron Scott Junior.

(40:11):
And then there was the roughing the passer, which sure
maybe it was I thought it was a bang bang, but.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
They didn't.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
They didn't really cover it that much during the broadcast.
I thought it was has it been two years without
the other team getting flagged for past interference? No, there
was a past interference call I think just last week,
wasn't there.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
I think there was. Yeah, that streak ended. Now the holding, it's.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
The holding that is nearing two years. Ohio State apparently
has in the High States defense apparently has not been
held for two years.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
In Big Ten play.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
I think they did get bol during during the the
other the other yeah, the other, the the other conference
reft haven't got the memo, but the big ten refs no,
never to call a holding call. Uh in Ohio states favor.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
The anniversary was the other week. It's been over two years.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Jared, Okay, all right, special teams Soliday, I'll give us holiday.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
What were our grades on discipline?

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Uh, discipline? I I was gonna say it, that's fair
A for special teams. Yeah, these spikes, that's why. That's
why don't they don't get the plus and a.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
They had some good looking returns. Field goals looked good,
punts actually looked pretty good.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
I don't have any complaints here.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Career career best in field goal by the way, Jared.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah, that was a boot.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
That was great.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
This was a solid special teams game for forty nine
yard and a forty five yard by fielding. Absolutely, Kyle's
gonna hold eighty plus plus. Kyle's gonna hold the plus
out unless there's a return touchdown. I'm not going to
be as strict. I'm going to give him the plus.
I thought it was a good special teams day. We've
we've called special teams an issue on this team. I
think we have to grade based off of the fact

(42:14):
that we've been complaining a lot about the special teams,
and you know, great on that curve.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Turnovers.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Fielding has been I would say fielding has been really
good this year. Ye has been eleven for thirteen, eleven
for thirteen for this year with the long of forty
nine that we that we just saw this weekend here
two for two which so happened to be in this
game here between forty and forty nine yards. So yeah, turnovers,

(42:55):
you get one, you take one, or exceed you give
one one. So they even out there. Now, I'm gonna
I'm gonna say c though, because the one turnover.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
In the end zone, the turnover that.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
The defense got did end up for seven points, but
the offense that gave up the turnover left seven points
on the board there because it was right there in
the red zone as well too. So I'm I'm gonna say, Cee,
I'm gonna say, I'm going to grade it a lot
lower just because of that turnover in the It.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Was a more valuable turnover that Like we had the
same conversation last week about the fumble and how it
was worth more than the interception. Casa see, I'll say
c plus.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Mm hmm, all right, And overall offense sloppy, get get
the job done, though, So I'll say, I say, overall
with the defense, looking at theres, there's quite a bit.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Of a overall offense. The offense.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Yeah, that's what I was saying. Yeah, there was sloppy. Overall,
there's a lot of a's, b's cs average averaging out
I'll say, I'll say B plus. I say B plus there.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Yeah, that feels, that feels at least approximately right. They
should have they should have been able to run better
against Purdue.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Yes, yeah, somebody.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
In defense and defense very solid the first again, first
team only letting up three yards? Oh not three yards?
What had that been something? Three points?

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Yeah, hey, I would say a solid A.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, I agree, I think I think I think a
good old fashioned A is here.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
And overall, I'll state thirty four to ten didn't cover,
did not cover first time that they lost well, depending
on which one you looked at. But I'll say as
a minus from my overall grade.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Chad also says a minus. I'm saying B plus.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
On the same wavelength, all right, And that is our scorecard.
That is our scorecard.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Anything else, Jared, uh, That honestly depends upon if you
have anything in Kyles corner or not.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
I at a lot of a lot of movement on
the recruiting front. On the recruiting front, yes, there's I
know the house state got a boom as we were
recording this this morning or this evening here earlier, we
had a four star defensive lineman Emmanuel Ruffin commit a

(45:57):
mix his verbal commitment to a host state who committed
from Colorado. Originally he is from the state of Alabama,
so OI state doesn't get to that many from Alabama Louisiana.
But here's one in Alabama here. That's a that's a
that's a good get there. If he can, if hast

(46:17):
can hold hold on to him, he's he's a depending
on which one you're looking at, he's like a top
one fifty recruit there, four stars, So yeah, that's a
that's a good that's a good get for a state. Yeah,
absolutely anything else in Kyle's corner. I don't think the

(46:41):
booms are going to slow down here. I think we're
going to get some more. So head on over to
discord at the slip gass dot com and we will
can discuss in there.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
All right, We're good, We're good. Are we done?

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Are we good?

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Are we done?
