O Jared, how are you doing today?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Being good? Doing good?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Doing good?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
What's actually hood on the traditional good tradition? Your tradition?
I did?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I already did that. Hi, how are you well? Why
don't you go ahead and drive for a second. I'm
obviously not.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Take another drink and we'll we'll.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I'm going to start first drink.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeahs you probably no scarletting. Great episode U C l
A State, It is what we'll be covering here. House
State with a forty eight to ten decisive victory last
Saturday night in the Horseshoe. Score wise, kind of kind
(01:31):
of where we thought it would be. Maybe maybe a
little bit more on the offensive for House Ay, maybe
a little bit more on the scoring for UCLA. But
a thirty eight decisive point victory for the Buckeyes.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it was a it was a
weird game. There's a game in which Ohio State was
in control the entire time. Yeah, ye had Nicos as
Spikes points out. Kind of a surprise day of scrub
(02:10):
really took the wind out of like what it was
already a thirty what I mean, according to the Sloop picks.
It was what thirty one and a half points, so
it was already three and.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
A half yeah, yeah, thirty one.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, it was already slated to be kind of a blowout.
Then their best player opts out. He was injured, he
was hurt, he had a concussion. I want to say,
he opt out. That makes it gives an impression that's
not accurate. And then Ohio State proceeds to the day
(02:51):
of was weird because it was It started with like rumors. First,
you wake up to the Nico News. I woke up
to the Nico News. Then there's like all of this
talk about how Carneal Tate's not gonna play again, which okay,
like you're thirty one point favorite. Then their quarterback isn't
(03:15):
gonna play, like okay, no big deal. Then this rumor
mill starts that he's out for the season, which was
as far as I have been able to find anywhere,
it is totally unfounded. But people get all worked up
about that. Then there's conversation that JJ's hurt, and then yeah,
(03:39):
the rumor about Tate. Then there's conversation that JJ's hurt
and he you know, he ends up You know Tate
ends up not playing. Smith does end up playing, but
Smith doesn't play for very long. He's obviously not feeling great.
He's got a bit of a limp, but when he played,
he looked good during the course of the game, saying, like,
(04:09):
takes a pretty minor hit, but just as he sort
of jumps backwards from the hit, he just lands awkwardly,
just like kind of a freak thing, and he didn't
really show a limp for the rest of the game.
But he wasn't right, And you can sort of blame
that maybe on not having you know, because JJ exit's
(04:30):
the game pretty quick. They go seventeen to nothing. Smith
exits the game. Cool, that's fine. Even if he's kind
of feeling just a little banged up, that's that's fine.
Then you have like saying, who has like a true
freshman game, excuse me, a red shirt freshman game, and
(04:53):
like he is a red shirt freshman, but at this
at this time, we've elevated our xpect stations up above that,
so he's look, he looks very human this game. I
don't want to say he struggled. I don't want to
say he looked bad. I do want to say he
kind of looked like a red shirt freshman college quarterback.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
There's a tale of two house honestly. For Julian Sand,
I mean the first half, well, he started off eighteen
for twenty, started off eleven for eleven, eighteen for twenty
through a couple, through one more pass at the very
end of the game. So first half he was eighteen
for twenty one, really good, really good, and then he
(05:35):
went on being five for ten in the second half.
Fifty percent completion in the second half, definitely very unlike
Unlike Julian Sand from what we've seen, all your eighty
percent completion in your fifty percent in the second half,
We'll give him this pass like this is really the
(05:57):
first time all season. Jared said it, right, that seemed human.
They're through fifty percent in the second half.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
He didn't do a lot during the Texas game.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
He didn't do a lot, but when he did he
was still pretty accurate. Yes, it's it's like, let's not
pretend that he didn't look great, like he was limited
and when he was able to throw, he he did
what he was asked to do. But either way, yeah,
I think this game here, I feel like there was
(06:32):
a lot of lack of execution. I think Ryan Day
said that, like at at halftime when they were trying
to interview him, like what does the team need to do,
and he talked about, like just execution, they need to
do better, And I think that was I think that
was right on here. Uh, the execution need to be there.
I think they started off. Let mean, let me see
(06:52):
if I can find find it real quick here. They
did not do well on third downs. Yeah, in the
first half, they were on for four on third downs
in the first half. It did help in the second
in the second quarter they were over too. But on
those third downs they did go for fourth They did
go for on fourth down and did get at both times. Right,
(07:15):
But yeah, it just yeah, it was just lack of execution.
I think it's a good way to put it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
And you know, aside from Tate and and Smith just
being otherworldly good, which they are, not having them in
the game also hurts because you're all of a sudden
throwing to people who you haven't thrown to most of
the year, and when you are like very timing and
(07:46):
rhythm based. The way Ryan Day's offense is the way
Julian Sayan appears to be there. There were misfires. There
were you know, either you miscommunications on routes or maybe
just really off the mark throws, saying not going to
(08:09):
the right guy on a couple occasions, saying sailing the
ball a couple of times, which we're just not really
used to seeing.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
So in right day, really let him out it too.
Cameras cameras are all over that there too.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's kind of typical coach interaction.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Interesting thing here, so saying twenty three for thirty one
in the for the game here eight incompletions. Half of
his incompletions were too Mile and Graham not saying they're
all Mile and Graham's fault. I think there might have
been I think one that I can think of that
(08:51):
should have caught though, But I think for the most part,
I think you were right Jared though, just very uncharacteristic,
just overthrows, maybe just miscommunication or not throwing it where
it needs to go though. But again I'm going to
give him the slack here, Oh yes, one here.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I mean, it's it's become very easy to forget that
he's a redshirt freshman in playing his first season. It's
become very easy to forget that to his credit, but
that that is who he is still. And I'm not
going to put anything on mylon Graham. I mean, maybe
you can put like some things on mylind Graham, but
saying just straight up didn't look correct, like he was
(09:29):
missing passes he normally makes in his sleep, had some
really weird err and throws. You know, the injury might
have been a factor. Hard to say for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
All right, let's yeah, one more thing and we'll get
to that. One more thing and we'll get to the
report card. Jared, he still threw it to seventy four
percent completion still, yeah, or make it. We're making it
sound like he threw it like fifty nine or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But that but that completion percentage is very front loaded
before he got hurt, before Smith left the game.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Sure, all right, yeah, let's go and get to the
report card, all right. Game plan here, I honestly thought
it was going to run the ball more. I thought
they were going to The stats here showed that they
ran the ball thirty three times, they passed it thirty
four times. I thought they were going to run it.
They were going to run it more. Let's see, they
(10:27):
rushed it fifteen times in the first half, eighteen times
in the second half. I honestly, i'm going to say A.
I'm gonna say a B plus. I'm gonna I'm going
to grade a little bit lower here. I thought they
had a lot of success on the ground, but then
they I don't know if they were trying to force force,
(10:48):
trying to throw it more just because they got the
younger guys in there, trying to get them experience. I'm
not sure what the deal is with with that there.
But ground game, ground game, got it going, and I'll
i'll cover more about the run game. Let me get
to it, but i'll say B plus just I thought
they were going to run it. I'm gonna keep my
game plan and A.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I share a lot of your same criticisms, but I'm
gonna put more of that into the in game coaching personally,
I'll explain why would we But yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
These spikes, these these spike springs up A good point. No,
fairly balanced, Yeah to eighteen passing, two twenty two rushing, Yeah,
very bad balanced on the stat sheet. Uh yeah, in
game coaching, I'll say B. I'll say B that I
talked about earlier about the execution here. I thought the
(11:34):
in game coaching wasn't up to par of what we've
seen so far this year, so I'll grade it a
little bit lower this week. I'll say a B.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I'm gonn I'm gonna agree with you on the B.
I think my biggest issue with the in game coaching
was saying still being in the game as late as
he was, he was kind of dinged up. He wasn't
in the correct mental state. You're up big against a
team with a notoriously bad run defense, like, let's just
(12:07):
bring the slobs in, Let's bring link in. Let let's
just run this game. You have a team that's very
banged up right now, you get your two best wide
receivers out. Innis didn't necessarily look healthy either. I think
I saw him like grabbing his shoulder or collarbone a
couple of times, something up in that area. You know,
(12:31):
Donaldson's out, Daniels miss time last week. The team's not healthy,
which is which, by the way, it's week twelve. A
certain amount of health, Yeah, a certain amount of not
healthy is to be expected. Yeah, I mean, heck, look
(12:52):
at but my point is is that, like you're already
up huge against UCLA right now. I just would have
liked to see the starters pulled more quick. I think
Day wanted saying to work through his issues he was having,
but it kind of felt like it was compounding. So
I'm gonna go be minus.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I mean, yeah, you mentioned about the state not being
being all that healthy right now, there's there's a lot
of teams that's in worst shape too. I mean sure, yeah,
all right, quarterbacks, seventy four percent completion like I mentioned before,
one hundred and eighty four yards for Julian to say
(13:33):
in and one touchdown, zero interceptions, expectations from what we've
seen from Julian and just being uncharacteristic with some of
his throws. Huh. I'll say, Bill, you still got the
job done. He's still a really good percentage. But yeah,
the especially as the game went along, he just something
(13:54):
was just off. So I'll say, b.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Is this the first game he had to deal with
wind and rain? I don't think so. Also, I don't
know how windy it was.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
It wasn't a to The wind picked up towards the
end of the game, which might have been why he
started his throats. Might have been a little off as
the I as the game went along.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
I don't know, I'm I'm I don't think. I'm gonna
say it was weather conditions that were causing issues. I'm gonna,
I'm gonna I'm gonna say that. But the uh, yeah,
I'm gonna go ce Plus he our expectations for him
were sky high at this point. UCLA's defense is not
(14:39):
very good. There's kind of you know, I I know that,
like some of the stats paying a positive picture and
some of the stats paying a negative picture. But I
know what I saw with my eyes and saying, just
wasn't right this game. And that's okay, you know, it's
he picked a good game to be a red shirt freshman,
(15:04):
all right.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Uh, moving on to run block expectations. Who House State
play it as well? But how' stake got the run
game going? They get they really got the run game
going in this one here, two or twenty two yards
your three running backs bo West people's oh average seven
(15:26):
yards are more per carry here and the slobs got
it done up front. Hey, I'm gonna say, ay, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
A couple of things to note here. One, UCLA's run
defense is horrendous. Yeah, if they had put these stats
up against a better run defense, I would say a plus.
Kyle during UH Know Your Enemy, we said the baseline
expectation was six yards per carry based off of how
(15:58):
bad UCLA's run defense is. They surpassed that. Good job,
you get an A. I'm just I'm not going to
give an A plus based mostly on the fact that
U c l A is terrible on against the run.
But gabe Vin Sickle getting a fair amount of time
(16:19):
at right guard and looking pretty good in the process,
something to keep an eye on.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, good guy.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I'm really really I was trying to try to for
my words together here. Yeah, I was really surprised how
well I'm surprised to see him in there, and then
when he was in there excelled. He excelled really well.
So yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing seeing how he
develops as his continues his career at Ohio State. UH
(16:53):
past block see UH two sack. No, I'm sorry, only
one sack was in the stats here, but he got moved.
He had to move around a lot here and U
c l A is there there one one of the
worst UH sacks teams with sacks and their first their
(17:16):
first sack in weeks against Ohio State. It was like
like like almost a month. It was like almost a month. Yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna say like a C minus, Like
it's very uncharacteristic. They that this is this is where
they excel at. It's protecting saying and they lack of
(17:36):
execution or just keep it, keep it simple.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Some of those were blitz recognition on saying, uh well,
I mean, as weird as it is to say the
quarterback is a part of the pass blocking, I mean,
this isn't just on the offensive line. This is also
on the running backs. This is also on the quarterback
quite frankly, so this, you know, this isn't us just
(18:00):
grading the offensive line. This is grading an entire phase
of the game.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Running running running backs for excellent A plus I'm adding
the plus.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah, especially since you had two true freshmen out there
doing the majority of it. You get James Peoples, who
caught a lot of fair criticism based off of his
early season performance, going out there and looking like the
(18:37):
James Peoples we expected to see, you know, I mean,
you know, getting benched will you know, motivate a guy.
But congrats to him for allowing it to be motivation
and not you know, mentally crumbling and you know, quitting.
(18:59):
He's in said, decided to you know, improve and get
better and contribute where he can.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
They said they worked on his vision this week. So
that's good to see it translate.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I mean, ultimately, I think a lot of the problems
James Peoples was having early in the season wasn't talent.
It was part vision and part you know, the desire
to break plays open when there weren't opportunities to break
plays open.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yep, all right, receiving with JJ out for like two
and a half quarters, take out uh, and this and
this did pretty well. Yeah, let the teams in receptions
(19:53):
we got We got to see a lot of Mile
and Graham, of Rogers, of Robert Porter, to see a
lot a lot of a lot of faces, and I
think Rogers, Rogers looked good. I liked what I see
from Porter as well too. Gosh, this this is tough
to kind of gray just because we're so used to
(20:16):
just seeing everything being caught by Jeremiah and Tate, but
with them not in the game, I'll say be I'm
just gonna say b B.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Plus, you know, on one hand, a lot of those
guys have no like actual game experience once you get
past Ennis Rogers has a little bit of actual game experience.
You obviously have Max Claire out there still, and Claire
got touches, but you know, your quarterback was kind of struggling.
(20:51):
Your run excuse me, your past blocking was kind of struggling.
You had a lot of inexperienced wide receivers out there there.
That being said, all those inexperienced wide receivers are all
still a bunch of five stars, So I'm gonna go
like a B plus.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I think, okay, uh drives conversions again, Tail two has
a high. State was one for four and third downs
in the first half and five for seven in the
second half. So on. So for the game as a whole,
fifty five percent complete fifty five percent conversion on third downs,
(21:32):
which I think is what UCLA was averaging. Yeah, I
would I would expect Ohio State to have done a
little bit better there.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
So I would say Ohio State in Ohio State's defense
on that. I think two of those third downs in
the first half were like incredibly because of penalties I
believe were incredibly long and they weren't really even trying
to get the first down. They were trying to set
up the fourth down convert.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
And if you want to consider it fourth downs, they
did convert two fourth downs as lost, so you can
say a eight out of eleven, which makes that seem
a lot better. But also they did have the let's say,
like BBus they did to.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Settle for field goals twice in the first half, so
that's not against the defense. That's not great. You kind
of don't want to have to do that. Yeah, but
they did get in the end zone three times in
the first half.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Let's say B minus.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, I think I'll go B plus. Okay, Right, Just
just for the record, since we're talking about long third
downs and penalties, one of the worst calls I've seen
against sarahveld on that holding don't know what I I
don't know. I don't even know how to criticize that
(22:54):
because I don't even know what the hell they were
talking about. And if memory serves, that's set up one
of those really long third downs. But although my memory
doesn't sure serve all that often, if I'm being honest.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
An explosiveness here, I honestly had quite quite a bit
of explosiveness, especially on the run game there. Uh so
I'll I'll stick with just an a. I'll say a lot,
a lot of explosiveness on the offense there.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, I'm good with that kind of like kind of
like with the run blocking, though I don't really want
to add the plus onto it because of who they
were playing.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Sure, all right, let's go ahead and take a quick
ad break here and we will get back to some
more grading here. The sloopcast dot com is your link
for anything and everything slopcast related. Check out our merch store.
We added a lot more stuff to our merch store
(23:55):
merch dot the sweepcast of them, Yeah, merch dot to
slopcast dot com and seventy seventy one dot the swoopcast
dot Com. A lot a lot of new things in there.
So if you're interested in getting out some supcast swag
or Christmas time non non sweepcast swag, you can head
out over again merch in seventy seventy one dot the
(24:18):
swoopcast dot Com. Yes, and Christmas is right around the quarter.
I won't take that ad break and be right back,
all right, Defense, all right, defense game plan. Hey, I
(24:40):
can't really say too much about first team first team defense.
They got the job done.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
That's I think that's who we're talking about with the
game plan.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yep, I mean they let up fifty yards in the
first half.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, hey, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I same thing with in game coaching as an a
as well.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, I agree. I don't have any issues with the
in game coaching either. I'm not going to give them
the plus just because of the opponent and the opponent
not having their quarterback and all that. I'm not going
to give them the plus.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Sure, and just.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Because of the scenario. And by the way, I just
want to point out people who want to freak out
that JJ didn't play like any of the second half.
Neither did Caleb Downs. Maybe they were just sitting some
of their best, already very experienced players to preserve them
(25:39):
for the long haul. Or you can freak about about
Caleb Downs too if you want to, you can choose
one of those two options.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
All right.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Tackling the team as a whole did well. Yeah, there
were some I don't want to I don't wanna. I
don't want to go into pointing names and all that,
but yeah, a mis as is I think justified.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yes, all I'm gonna say is, if you know you know,
all I'm gonna say, Kyle's all Kyle's going to say
is that all I'm going to say is is that
when there's a mistackle on the defense, it's typically one guy.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
If you know, you know, we're just uh run stop
A plus. They did. They did extraordinary in the uh
in the run stop.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's worth pointing pointing out that Nico is also their
top rusher. Yes, I'm not going to give them the
plus for the same reason I didn't give the unblocking
a plus. It's just because it was just kind of expected.
That's it.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, all right, which one did you give?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
The minus? Two spikes?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Was that tackling?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Okay? Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Pass rush, I'm good, I'm pass rush. I'm going to
give a D. I'm giving a big old fat D
for the pass rush. Where is the pass rush?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Where is the pass rushpis.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
On this here? Like they did not get much pressure?
Uh on duncan h what?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
What?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
What do we have here?
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Five tackle for losses which is good, which is which
is fine for for Ohio State, but zero sacks when
State was one of the best to get to the
quarterback in the country and U c l A is
I have to look at the numbers, but they weren't good.
They weren't good.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, can I can I point out that Nico kind.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Of creates his own Yeah, hundred they were one hundred
and third sure, Sure, I mean that that plays a
factor into it as well. One hundred and third seven
point seven seven percent of the top of the QB
sex per play.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, d Yeah. UCLA was playing a very conservative, like
single read then hit your check down type of offense
because they were unexpectedly starting the I'm you're you're Your
(28:36):
criticism is valid, but I don't I don't think the
statistics line up here. This is This was not U
c l A's offense. This was not Nico. They had
a young, inexperienced guy in there. They told him to
essentially do one read, then check it out, get rid
of the ball as quick as possible. That's not to
(28:57):
say Ohio State shouldn't have had better pass rush, because
they should have. Yeah, but I think the d is
very harsh. I'm gonna go with like a b.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
All right, uh pass coverage kind of going along with
what you were saying, Jared Dnking and Dime just dinking
and dunking the.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Hink passes think and dunking nickel and dime there you go. Yeah,
I thought genuine I know, I.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Thought overall the past coverage was fine. There wasn't really
any like over the top throws were where the defensive
backs had to make a play. There weren't really really many,
if any, that were like that. It was just more
of getting it to the receiver and letting them make
(29:54):
a play, and they did. They did have one play
that went for over fifty yards and that was kind
out of against other than that. I it was to
It was towards the end of the third quarter. Yeah, yeah,
(30:15):
I'll say, as.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I think that's fair, I'll second, you're an okay, all
right impact plays by the way, I just saw some
people ripping And I'm not saying that. I'm not pointing
out Spikes. He did say, because Sanchez legitimately did was
the one who gave up that long pass. So I'm
not I'm not pointing the fingered Spikes on this, but
I just see some people like ripping into Sanchez one
(30:45):
as a Spikes points out, he's a true freshman. He
did give up a few passes, but a couple of
those passes he gave up were drag routes. The drag
route is the premiere, like man beater, like pass route.
He was playing man and he got beat on a
drag out. That's that's life. I am sorry, that's just life.
(31:13):
He'll be fine. Don't don't. Don't turn Sanchez into some
sort of scapegoat. He'll be fine. He played a lot
when Elder Styles was hurt. He played a lot in
in those games and played really well. So I have
no pessimism in regards to Sanchez.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I just want to toss that impact plays, Jared. What
do you got for impact plays?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Five tackles for loss, no sacks? Was there any turnovers?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Zero turnovers? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I didn't think so. I feel like and they're usually.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
And they they they they're grown to turnovers though, Yeah,
well I guess not. I guess not. They're averaging one
a game. Yeah, they're averaging one a game.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And what was the in the first half? What was
the time of possession? Like, because yeah, the spikes points
out not enough plays. I'm thinking that might be excuse me,
that might be the case.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
All right, So if I'm doing by halves first half
of House State eighteen and a half to UCLA's eleven
and a half.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Pretty dominant. Yeah, I just don't think there's a lot
of opportunities for impact plays and turn nervers and stuff
like that.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Thirty six plays to twenty one, fifteen play difference. I'll
I'll say B. I'll say be that in the main,
main thing with the impact plays, it's just not I
was hoping to see some more sacks and more some
more pressure on the on the quarterback there, So I'll
(33:06):
say B. Everything else was fine.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Say minus. I'd say they did fine considering the limited
amount of time UCLA had the ball.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
All right, uh stops. Let's see, Ohio State held them
five for thirteen on third downs and oh for two
on fourth downs, so good, and that that was that
was pretty good. What is that? It's like a thirty
about forty yeah, about forty around forty percent, a little
(33:38):
bit a little bit higher than what they're averaging though,
so uh huh you did you did stop them on
fourth down twice too, So that will uput, that will
open up a little bit for me. So I'll say
a minus.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with the standard.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Day, okay, all right, and don't break.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Uh, especially if we limit this to the starters, because
I know that there were a couple one in particular,
but a couple bigger plays for their offense against the backups,
but against the starters. Yeah, I don't remember any I'll say, hey, yeah,
(34:24):
the starters lost them the plus or excuse me, the
backups lost the starters the plus here unfortunately. But yeah,
I'm gonna go with today.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Okay, all right, we're gonna take a quick second ad break,

Speaker 1 (35:18):
All right.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
In game coaching for the entire.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
For the entire all right, I'm averaging here looks like
an a.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah, this one I put a little bit more on
the head coach than I do with the other ones.
I'm gonna I'm gonna drop them down to a bee.
I just I wanted the starters pulled quicker.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Sure, uh, motivation and effort, I I feel I feel
like this is the one that may grade him a
little bit lower here.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
I think it's I don't think the motivation.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'm gonna say issue B E B minus.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
I don't think I agree. I think it's more on
the execution side than the motivation and effort. I'll go
like an A minus.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Okay, all right, Yeah, execution, Yeah, execution mainly on the offense. Defense.
Execution was spot on with the with the first team there, right,
But the offense side, yeah, I like to like to
see that a little bit, a little bit better there.
So I'll averaging it out. I'll say, I'll say.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
A B plus. Yeah, I'm gonna say it be a
C for the offense and A for the defense. I'm
sorry you said it, B what you said.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Plus A right discipline here, let's see three penalties for
twenty yards. I think that's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
The h Iggy drew a penalty that very well could
have been a He did an off an off setting penalty.
He just simply didn't get called for it. And sometimes
when you initiate the situation, you get away with that
(37:18):
because he initiated that situation and he needs to play
with a cooler head. So I'm personally still going to
count that against them, even though it technically works out
well for Ohio State. The holding call was was crap
quite frankly, if.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
You take that, If you take that out, there was
only two and that was an illegal formation which I hadn't.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
That also didn't That was crap. That also looked weird.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
And then the only other one was in the third
quarter for a false start. Actually, yeah, I'll say, even
though it's three penalties, I was saying a plus for discipline.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
That that feels like an overcorrection. I'll say an a minus. Okay,
But even the rules guy couldn't explain it. Yeah, it
made no sense to Yeah, it looked like all it
looked like everyone who needed to be on the line
was on the line. I don't know what else to say.
And they got a free play on an inadvertent football
(38:24):
on the field. Is that what that was? That's funny?
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
No, no, I remember what you're talking about I just
I don't know if I heard the explanation that there
was a random football on the field. Special teams, well,
you get a punt block sort of. I mean, hey,
the stat the stat book says it's a punt block.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
And of course the kick off return you get that
plus Jared at that plus. Yeah, I mean yeah, it's
it's it's an a plus.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
It's field fielding.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Was you gotta fetch down?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Yeah, fielding. Fielding was perfect at at field goals two
for two punting you you averaged over fifty yards of
punt man and you get just one and you uh
and you get a and you get a touchdown on
special teams too, yeah, a plus, and you get a
(39:32):
pump block, and you get a pump block sort of
statistic it's it goes down the Katie col it goes down.
It's Caden Curry got a pump block.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Yeah, I mean he was in the way of the shank.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Sh details details, all right, And turnovers there was zero.
There was zero in the game, So I can't I
can't say anything negative.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Hold, I'm just can you want to back me on this?
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Sure? Sure? Na, Sure?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
It was just weird.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, okay, all right, and overall Jared offense offense, I'm
gonna say I'll say B rushing rushing. I was really
happy with what I saw on the rushing attack passing.
Do you really saying we'll get it. We'll get a
pass for for here for his uncharacteristic passing that he
(40:26):
had in this game here, so averaging out, I'll say
I'll say B for for offense.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
What was the final score again, forty eight to ten. Okay, okay,
just checking one of the special teams. Yeah, and one
of those was set up by special teams.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I guess i'll say minus.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Defense. Looking looking at here, it looks like I have
a A A minus as as my defense. I'll round
it up into an A.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah, I think that's fair. The two things that's gonna
stop me from giving them an A plus is the
fact that UCLA's offense was already kind of bad, and
then you remove Nico from it, and then the backups
give up ten points, so you lose your plus based
(41:30):
off of that.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
They only had two drives. They only had two drives.
Ucla only had two drives that were over twenty two.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
Yards, both in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Well, no, both of them in the third quarter.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Excuse me me, Yeah, I guess the first touchdown was
in the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Oh no, it was. Well, no, the third quarter was
the touchdown and the field goal. They started it with
the ball at the end of the third quarter, but
took like six minutes off going into the fourth quarter.
Then yeah, and overall, I mean yeah, forty eight to
(42:15):
ten looks really nice, nice on paper there, So overall
I was saying a minus. It's a little sloppy at times.
I think obviously there's some things that Ryan Day will
see on the film to make the team better, but honestly,
like get in and out there, no major injuries. Yeah,
(42:38):
there's some people who are just a little dinged up,
a little little hobbling here and there, but overall, no
major injuries, in and out with a win there.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah, yeah, I think a minus is fair. I mean,
your starters won this game forty two to nothing. Yeah,
I'll stick with that. You're your starter is kind of
game forty two to nothing, so no, no real even now, Yeah,
(43:11):
your starters won the game forty two to nothing. Kyle,
what are we doing? Yeah? They get an a All right,
all right, that is it?
Speaker 2 (43:22):
That is our grading there.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
All right, How did it happen? How did that slide?
How long has that been like that? Anyway? Um? All right, Yeah,
that's it. That's the end of the report card, all right, Kyle, Yeah,
I guess I can just ask you what's in Kyle's corner.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
I'm just gonna make I'm just gonna make them real
quick here, just because there was a lot of things,
a lot of things that that happened here. Recently, Eli
Johnson commits to Ohio State a four star safety for
the twenty seventh class. Dra Quinn from the twenty sixth
(44:10):
class defensive end four star, formerly pledged to Clemson, commits
to Ohio State. Hot State gets a flip as well
over the weekend of a former Louisville commit tight end
of Nick Latar committing to Ohio State as well. Big
(44:37):
big flips for Ohio State recently, a lot of flips.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
Yeah. The yeah, recruiting machine is buzzing right now. And
by the way, this is normal of course. With this
is a little bit more obvious now because National Signing
Day is mostly just early National Signing Day, which is
(45:04):
in December, so it makes sense now. But even in
the past. The national championship recruiting bump came the year after,
so even when National signing Day was more in February.
If you want a national championship, that doesn't mean you
immediately got a good class. It takes time for these
relationships that develop right so year after national title. And
(45:29):
quite frankly, who else in the country right now has
the combination of elite and stable that Ohio State has.
Who are sure fire bet programs in the country right
now where you know it's going to be stable and
(45:51):
you know it's going to be elite. It's the Ohio State,
It's Georgia. You could make a case for Texas, A
and M, although I don't know if there's a long Yeah,
(46:12):
most of the usuals are shopping for a coach. That's
also a very good point. Penn State is coach shopping.
I don't have We all know who's looking for coaches
right now. I don't have to. Yeah, LSU, A lot
of a lot of big programs are coach shopping right now.
So that's obviously going to hurt recruiting a lot for
those programs. And quite frankly, if we just want to
(46:38):
be honest, Hi State is not going to be retaining
a ton of talent off of this team, like Jeremiah
Smith's gonna cost you a lot of money, and Julian
Sayin's gonna cost you a lot of money. And there
are defensive players who are gonna cost you a lot
of money. But O High State's gonna lose a lot
of their top flight players to the draft this year,
so there's budget. It's a little a little bit easier
(47:00):
to sign these players when you have a little bit
of budget in hand, which they haven't had for the
past two years. Sunny Styles is coming off of the books,
Marvel Reese is coming off the books, Iggy's coming off
the books. Carnel Tate's coming off the books. That's a
huge expense. A couple offensive linemen are coming off the
(47:23):
books at really big expenses. Cayden Curry expense another big
expense coming off the books. You know, Caleb Downs almost
certainly going to go pro. That's a lot of money.
(47:45):
That's a lot of money coming off your budget. You
can spend a little bit more in recruiting right now
period National championship, a little extra money in the budget,
good recruiting class. Sometimes it sometimes it actually is that simple? Yeah?
(48:07):
Sometimes it actually is that simple, all right? Hell anything
else in Coyll's corner.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
One last fun fun note here because I saw this
and I thought i'd point this out just because of
Ohio States kickoff return touchdown. Yeah, how many years has
that been? Twelve years?
Speaker 1 (48:29):
I thought it was fourteen years? Has a gosh I
thought I heard? I could be mistaken, but that's that's
the number I thought I heard.
Speaker 2 (48:42):
Ohio State coming into the game with ninety first in
the in the country for kickoff return averages. I mean
they only attempted three returns all year, right, I mean
that that. I mean when when you're when you're team,
when your opponent's only averaging seven point sure a game
(49:04):
that that plays a factor. So so this was return
number four, and because of that return being one hundred yards,
ain't going for a touchdown to house State for kickoff
return averages is now number one in the country.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
Yeah. Hey, if there's something to win, go win it.
As urban Meyer says, that's it.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
That's all I got, And and the Buckeye basketball wins.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
Yeah. New court debut too.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
I love it. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
It's sick. I'm a big fan all right, that's it.
That's the end of today's show. Tonight's any music brought
to you by uh did a punk band? Last week?
That was fine, Let's do it again these last week
was the Raging Nathan's this week or the dopamines. So
with all that being said, I'd like to encourage everyone
to drink local beer, listen to local music, and of
course sports local podcasters. Once again, these are the dope.
