00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:03.770
Time for another bonus episode. We're going to talk about
2
00:00:03.790 --> 00:00:06.450
the Ohio State Buckeyes heading out to take on the
3
00:00:06.610 --> 00:00:11.050
USC Trojans this week. Two coaches with sort of similar
4
00:00:11.130 --> 00:00:14.720
paths to their head coaching job, but in very different
5
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.820
places right now. Ryan Day has his Buckeyes number two
6
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.660
in the nation, feeling pretty good about life, other than
7
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:22.019
the fact that they have to break in a new
8
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.339
starting quarterback on the road this weekend. Lincoln Riley, well,
9
00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:28.239
he's got two losses on his resume already this year,
10
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.890
a 24-7 loss at Wisconsin and the Buckeyes coming to town,
11
00:00:31.910 --> 00:00:35.630
and a really big roster payroll this year, what I
12
00:00:35.649 --> 00:00:38.350
think Trojans fans and boosters were expecting a little bit
13
00:00:38.409 --> 00:00:42.909
more from. So has Brian Day followed Lincoln Riley's career
14
00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:44.670
at all? Because they did, as I mentioned, come up
15
00:00:44.710 --> 00:00:48.320
in sort of similar ways. Quarterback gurus came up through
16
00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:52.060
the assistant coaching ranks and then took over for absolute
17
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.810
legends at major national powerhouses. Riley for Bob Stoops at
18
00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:59.210
Oklahoma and Ryan Day for Urban Meyer with the Buckeyes.
19
00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:03.939
Yeah. I know that when, uh, coach Stoops, um, you know,
20
00:01:03.950 --> 00:01:06.120
transitioned similar to the way that coach Meyer did, um,
21
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.920
it was similar in terms of, uh, how that all
22
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.280
played out. And then, um, I know there was communication
23
00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:14.079
at the time just about, you know, how all that
24
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.599
went down. And, um, but then as, as followed his career,
25
00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:21.019
you know, he's obviously, um, got a tremendous mind, really
26
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:24.090
good coach, and they've done a very good job recruiting, um,
27
00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:29.219
We're not going to have to explain to our players
28
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.859
what we're up against. They know. They know who these
29
00:01:31.909 --> 00:01:35.290
guys are. They either competed against them, they were at
30
00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:40.290
camps together with them, they recognize the recruiting rankings, they
31
00:01:40.450 --> 00:01:45.329
have a lot of speed, a lot of size. I
32
00:01:45.349 --> 00:01:47.269
think he and his staff have done a great job recruiting.
33
00:01:47.349 --> 00:01:51.890
I have really good young talent in that program. We've
34
00:01:51.909 --> 00:01:55.439
got to do our do our best this week to
35
00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:58.159
stay focused, prepare. We're going to leave on Thursday night,
36
00:01:58.599 --> 00:01:59.939
get out there, and go get a win on the
37
00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:04.709
West Coast. But yeah, going back to Coach Riley and
38
00:02:04.730 --> 00:02:06.469
his staff, I think they do a really, really good job.
39
00:02:06.530 --> 00:02:11.229
And they're as good as anybody in the country, not
40
00:02:11.270 --> 00:02:12.719
only on the field, but also in recruiting.
41
00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:16.849
Ryan Day's football program is not the only juggernaut football
42
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.960
program on the Ohio State campus. James Griega's club football team, yeah,
43
00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:23.180
they're a little bit of a dynasty as well. They
44
00:02:23.219 --> 00:02:25.460
have won more than one national championship over the last
45
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:29.819
couple of years. They also just beat Wayne State 105-0.
46
00:02:30.419 --> 00:02:34.340
So there was actually an ESPN reporter at the interviews
47
00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:37.330
on Tuesday who asked Ryan Day about the club football
48
00:02:37.349 --> 00:02:40.689
team and if whether the Ohio State varsity football team
49
00:02:40.930 --> 00:02:41.990
sees any benefits from that.
50
00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:46.740
So yeah, with the club, we've been able to get
51
00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:50.300
a couple guys on the team, which has been great.
52
00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:52.360
I can't sit here and say it's been a lifeblood
53
00:02:52.379 --> 00:02:56.900
of the program, but it is an opportunity for some
54
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:58.460
guys to get in the program and be part of
55
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.289
what we do here. So yeah, you just never know.
56
00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:04.030
And maybe there's a way to even build it stronger
57
00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:04.789
in the future.
58
00:03:05.789 --> 00:03:08.469
Phillip Bell has been really good in the punt return
59
00:03:08.490 --> 00:03:10.629
game so far this year. He was also a high
60
00:03:10.669 --> 00:03:13.789
school teammate of Luke Fahey. So does that maybe make
61
00:03:13.830 --> 00:03:16.930
him a bigger part of the offense moving forward, that
62
00:03:16.969 --> 00:03:18.110
connection between those two?
63
00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:21.689
I don't think that ties into it too much, but
64
00:03:21.710 --> 00:03:23.569
I will say that I think Phil is getting better
65
00:03:23.629 --> 00:03:26.090
each week. You're starting to see him make plays. Like
66
00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:27.530
you said, in the kicking game, he made a really
67
00:03:27.569 --> 00:03:31.150
nice catch against Indiana on a third down spot. So
68
00:03:31.449 --> 00:03:34.900
he's earning more and more playing time every, every week. And, um,
69
00:03:35.550 --> 00:03:38.400
another opportunity this week to go ahead and do that. But, um,
70
00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:42.819
you know, I think his ability to, you know, help
71
00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:44.960
on special teams has a lot of more opportunities on
72
00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:46.860
the field and that's typically how it goes here at
73
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.590
Ohio state. So, um, you know, when he gets his
74
00:03:49.629 --> 00:03:51.490
opportunities in this game right here, we're going to need
75
00:03:51.509 --> 00:03:51.870
them as well.
76
00:03:52.610 --> 00:03:54.889
Things seem like they're trending in a good direction for
77
00:03:54.930 --> 00:03:58.400
Ohio state in terms of getting offensive lineman, Austin Cirovel back.
78
00:03:58.930 --> 00:04:01.669
this weekend. So how much would him getting him back
79
00:04:01.789 --> 00:04:04.449
help the offensive line? And how much is the line
80
00:04:04.469 --> 00:04:06.949
going to be leaned on to help the new quarterback succeed?
81
00:04:07.629 --> 00:04:12.689
It certainly will. So this is everybody, you know, and
82
00:04:12.710 --> 00:04:17.209
I think that's an important message for everybody on the team.
83
00:04:17.230 --> 00:04:22.180
Like we all have to step up, coaches, players. And
84
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:23.959
what does that mean? Well, just we got to be
85
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.740
on our game more and more. I mean, the margin
86
00:04:25.779 --> 00:04:29.189
for error certainly has has tightened up, there's no question.
87
00:04:29.529 --> 00:04:32.079
And the offensive line has a direct impact on how
88
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:35.620
that's going to go. So it's the quarterback's job to
89
00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:37.600
make sure that they're earning the trust of the guys
90
00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:40.860
up front, but it's also those guys' job to protect them,
91
00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:45.899
to encourage them, to make sure that when he's in
92
00:04:45.930 --> 00:04:48.629
the huddle, they're there because they played a lot of football.
93
00:04:49.410 --> 00:04:51.009
It's the quarterback's job when he steps in that huddle
94
00:04:51.029 --> 00:04:52.829
to run the huddle, though. So it goes hand in hand.
95
00:04:53.470 --> 00:04:55.629
But I think if you get around the guys and
96
00:04:55.649 --> 00:04:59.209
you ask about our quarterbacks, You know, they're excited about
97
00:04:59.230 --> 00:05:03.509
the opportunity. Obviously, they're disappointed that Julian got hurt. But
98
00:05:04.470 --> 00:05:06.389
that's behind us now. And it's all about moving forward.
99
00:05:06.410 --> 00:05:08.449
And I think this is a great opportunity for all
100
00:05:08.490 --> 00:05:10.310
those guys to prove themselves that, hey, man, like I
101
00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:13.339
can pull my end of the bargain on this thing and,
102
00:05:13.459 --> 00:05:14.980
you know, put it on my shoulders. You know, and
103
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.339
I think that has to be the approach of everybody.
104
00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:18.740
Everyone's got to do their part and take the responsibility
105
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:19.399
of going to win this game.
106
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.240
Right after Julian Sane went down during that post-game interview
107
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.120
at Indiana, Jeremiah Smith talked about the fact that it
108
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.019
was not going to be instant for him to build
109
00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:31.709
a connection with Luke Fahey in sort of the way
110
00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:34.850
that he had one with Julian Sane. So have those
111
00:05:34.889 --> 00:05:36.769
two basically been attached at the hip over the last
112
00:05:36.810 --> 00:05:37.310
couple of weeks?
113
00:05:38.529 --> 00:05:41.189
Yeah, I think he said it was going to take time. Yeah,
114
00:05:41.379 --> 00:05:43.920
and it does. It takes time, but he's been on
115
00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:47.449
the field and he's thrown to him before, but I
116
00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:49.610
think it's clear that, you know, he and Julian spent
117
00:05:49.629 --> 00:05:51.610
a lot of time together. And so this is new,
118
00:05:51.670 --> 00:05:56.600
but yeah, it's, you know, Jeremiah is a tremendous talent and,
119
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.319
you know, he can adjust quickly. And the good thing about,
120
00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:03.060
you know, he and Luke is, you know, Luke, you
121
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.860
just got to get it somewhere in the neighborhood of
122
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.560
number four and he's going to pull it down. So,
123
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.819
but that goes back to the same thing as we
124
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.699
said about the offensive line. Like, all right, Jeremiah, you know,
125
00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:14.069
if he puts it on you, let's go make a play.
126
00:06:14.089 --> 00:06:15.529
But if he's a little bit off, you got to,
127
00:06:15.529 --> 00:06:16.699
you got to, you got to pick them up a
128
00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:19.100
little bit. And that's going to be how it goes
129
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.180
until these guys get their confidence and get their feet
130
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:27.120
underneath them. Which again, one of the great messages for
131
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.610
a young player at any position is that every day
132
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.529
in practice, you're going against a really good unit on
133
00:06:32.550 --> 00:06:34.670
the other side of the ball. So again, whether I'm
134
00:06:34.689 --> 00:06:37.689
a young DB, you're guarding some of the best receivers
135
00:06:37.709 --> 00:06:41.189
in the country every day or whatever the position comparison is.
136
00:06:41.230 --> 00:06:44.129
It's the same thing at quarterback. We have a good
137
00:06:44.149 --> 00:06:47.329
defense here. So Just know that every day you're going
138
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:48.939
against really good defenses, and you're going to go against
139
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.180
a really good defense this week, but you've been preparing
140
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.860
for this moment. So just prepare at a high level,
141
00:06:54.180 --> 00:06:56.220
do a great job focusing, and then just trust your
142
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.000
training at the end of the day and find the
143
00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:58.579
speed of the game.
144
00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:01.800
In a separate answer and a very brief answer, Ryan
145
00:07:01.819 --> 00:07:04.870
Day said that Austin Sierveld would probably be playing tackle
146
00:07:04.930 --> 00:07:08.529
this week if and when he plays. So assuming he
147
00:07:08.569 --> 00:07:11.110
can play, we know he's going to play tackle, so
148
00:07:11.129 --> 00:07:12.750
what does that mean the offensive line looks like?
149
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.240
Yeah, I think it's just going to depend on how much,
150
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.079
you know, Austin's available to play. If he can play
151
00:07:19.110 --> 00:07:21.389
a full game or not, we'll have to figure that
152
00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:23.389
out as the week goes on and see how he does.
153
00:07:23.410 --> 00:07:26.970
You know, he was not available even last week to practice.
154
00:07:26.990 --> 00:07:28.509
This will be his first full week of practice. So
155
00:07:29.850 --> 00:07:31.750
we'll have to see how he is coming back and
156
00:07:31.769 --> 00:07:34.740
then kind of go from there. You know, when both
157
00:07:34.769 --> 00:07:37.300
guys are healthy, I think they both help us. And
158
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:38.899
I think we have to assess that as the week
159
00:07:38.939 --> 00:07:41.160
goes on. Like, all right, how much is he able
160
00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:43.100
to play this week? And then What gives us the
161
00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:45.480
best chance to win? And so that's something we've got
162
00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:46.379
to kind of assess over the next.
163
00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:49.480
Couple of days. If Julian Sane had not gotten hurt,
164
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.399
I'm guessing this would have been a much bigger story
165
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.100
coming out of that Indiana game. But they ran a
166
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.959
bunch of 14 personnel, 13 personnel. You're pulling wide receivers
167
00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:00.370
off the field. You're throwing extra tight ends on the field.
168
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:03.490
Now that they had some time to sort of evaluate
169
00:08:03.529 --> 00:08:07.110
things over the week off, Are they still seeing benefits
170
00:08:07.149 --> 00:08:09.870
from all those multiple tight end looks that they're running
171
00:08:09.910 --> 00:08:12.050
out there? Or with some of the young receivers maybe
172
00:08:12.069 --> 00:08:14.430
coming along, could that mix potentially change?
173
00:08:14.810 --> 00:08:19.550
Yeah, I think there's strengths and weaknesses to the multiple
174
00:08:19.589 --> 00:08:22.410
personnel groupings that we use. I think they're both, or
175
00:08:22.490 --> 00:08:25.189
all three and four, and you see multiple guys come
176
00:08:25.209 --> 00:08:29.279
in the game. And sometimes it's three receivers, but which
177
00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:33.500
three receivers? Or there's two tight ends, and then there's Jake,
178
00:08:34.029 --> 00:08:35.639
So there's a bunch of different ways to look at it.
179
00:08:35.690 --> 00:08:38.710
Sometimes you put legend in there. So there's a lot
180
00:08:38.730 --> 00:08:42.450
of different personnel groupings. And I think you try to
181
00:08:42.490 --> 00:08:44.570
put the guys in the best position to be successful,
182
00:08:44.590 --> 00:08:46.690
but you identify who gives you the best chance to win.
183
00:08:46.710 --> 00:08:48.350
I think the good news is we do have a
184
00:08:48.389 --> 00:08:50.110
lot of guys that can bring different things to the table.
185
00:08:50.669 --> 00:08:52.870
I think when you're just exclusively one thing, it's a
186
00:08:52.870 --> 00:08:54.690
little easier to get narrowed down on. So we try
187
00:08:54.710 --> 00:08:57.750
to keep it moving, knowing that we're probably not just
188
00:08:57.769 --> 00:08:59.429
going to be in one or two groupings. We're going
189
00:08:59.450 --> 00:09:01.009
to kind of try to keep it going. We think
190
00:09:01.029 --> 00:09:03.809
that puts the most stress on the defense. But to
191
00:09:03.850 --> 00:09:05.710
your point, we have to evaluate and make sure that
192
00:09:06.789 --> 00:09:08.070
we're putting the guys on the field that give us
193
00:09:08.110 --> 00:09:10.450
the best chance to win based on who we're playing to.
194
00:09:10.769 --> 00:09:14.049
Sometimes it's a matchup situation based on the scheme, based
195
00:09:14.090 --> 00:09:15.450
on what they're going to do in terms of matching
196
00:09:15.490 --> 00:09:17.570
their personnel. So it's kind of that back and forth game.
197
00:09:17.590 --> 00:09:20.200
But no, when you go into a bye week, you
198
00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:25.240
evaluate everything. You evaluate, obviously, the personnel, you know, the scheme,
199
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.080
and then are we coaching it right? And so somewhere
200
00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.919
in there is where you make these big decisions that,
201
00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:34.460
you know, ultimately, you'll get, you know, get tested on
202
00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:36.399
game day. And so this, this is all the decisions.
203
00:09:36.470 --> 00:09:39.019
And we talk a lot about as coaches, like the
204
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.809
decisions that are made in that room are typically what happens,
205
00:09:41.850 --> 00:09:44.929
you know, the outcome gets affected on Saturday. So we
206
00:09:44.950 --> 00:09:46.929
take that very, very seriously and it's our job to
207
00:09:46.950 --> 00:09:48.350
put them in a situation to be successful.
208
00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:52.049
Julian Sane has been the big injury story and the
209
00:09:52.090 --> 00:09:54.429
big injury news around the Ohio State football program over
210
00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:55.929
the last couple of weeks. But there are other guys
211
00:09:55.950 --> 00:09:59.169
who've been banged up as well. Mentioned Austin Searveld earlier.
212
00:09:59.269 --> 00:10:01.190
He sounds, seems like he's trending in a good direction.
213
00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:04.000
What about Kenyatta Jackson and Jay Timmons? Have they been
214
00:10:04.029 --> 00:10:06.039
able to practice over the last week and where do
215
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:07.059
things stand with those guys?
216
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.980
We, last week was a great opportunity to get a
217
00:10:09.980 --> 00:10:12.639
bunch of guys, sort of some rest. Um, some of
218
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.860
them could have practiced. Some of them, we just kind
219
00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:18.700
of held back. Um, we'll see how, how this week goes. Um,
220
00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:20.850
I think we'll get a good portion of them back,
221
00:10:21.149 --> 00:10:24.750
but probably not all of them. And we'll kind of
222
00:10:24.789 --> 00:10:27.330
just see some of them. Most of the ones that
223
00:10:27.350 --> 00:10:29.029
I think you're talking about are ones that will probably
224
00:10:29.070 --> 00:10:30.370
go throughout the end of the week. And as we
225
00:10:30.389 --> 00:10:33.070
get closer to the game, we'll get an idea. But
226
00:10:33.529 --> 00:10:34.809
we'll be able to get them a couple days off,
227
00:10:35.409 --> 00:10:36.909
come back on Sunday, get them to move around a
228
00:10:36.929 --> 00:10:38.360
little bit. But today will be the real test.
229
00:10:39.169 --> 00:10:41.279
All right. We are going to have much more bonus
230
00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:45.259

1
00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:03.770
Time for another bonus episode. We're going to talk about
2
00:00:03.790 --> 00:00:06.450
the Ohio State Buckeyes heading out to take on the
3
00:00:06.610 --> 00:00:11.050
USC Trojans this week. Two coaches with sort of similar
4
00:00:11.130 --> 00:00:14.720
paths to their head coaching job, but in very different
5
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.820
places right now. Ryan Day has his Buckeyes number two
6
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.660
in the nation, feeling pretty good about life, other than
7
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:22.019
the fact that they have to break in a new
8
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.339
starting quarterback on the road this weekend. Lincoln Riley, well,
9
00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:28.239
he's got two losses on his resume already this year,
10
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.890
a 24-7 loss at Wisconsin and the Buckeyes coming to town,
11
00:00:31.910 --> 00:00:35.630
and a really big roster payroll this year, what I
12
00:00:35.649 --> 00:00:38.350
think Trojans fans and boosters were expecting a little bit
13
00:00:38.409 --> 00:00:42.909
more from. So has Brian Day followed Lincoln Riley's career
14
00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:44.670
at all? Because they did, as I mentioned, come up
15
00:00:44.710 --> 00:00:48.320
in sort of similar ways. Quarterback gurus came up through
16
00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:52.060
the assistant coaching ranks and then took over for absolute
17
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.810
legends at major national powerhouses. Riley for Bob Stoops at
18
00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:59.210
Oklahoma and Ryan Day for Urban Meyer with the Buckeyes.
19
00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:03.939
Yeah. I know that when, uh, coach Stoops, um, you know,
20
00:01:03.950 --> 00:01:06.120
transitioned similar to the way that coach Meyer did, um,
21
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.920
it was similar in terms of, uh, how that all
22
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.280
played out. And then, um, I know there was communication
23
00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:14.079
at the time just about, you know, how all that
24
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.599
went down. And, um, but then as, as followed his career,
25
00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:21.019
you know, he's obviously, um, got a tremendous mind, really
26
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:24.090
good coach, and they've done a very good job recruiting, um,
27
00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:29.219
We're not going to have to explain to our players
28
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.859
what we're up against. They know. They know who these
29
00:01:31.909 --> 00:01:35.290
guys are. They either competed against them, they were at
30
00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:40.290
camps together with them, they recognize the recruiting rankings, they
31
00:01:40.450 --> 00:01:45.329
have a lot of speed, a lot of size. I
32
00:01:45.349 --> 00:01:47.269
think he and his staff have done a great job recruiting.
33
00:01:47.349 --> 00:01:51.890
I have really good young talent in that program. We've
34
00:01:51.909 --> 00:01:55.439
got to do our do our best this week to
35
00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:58.159
stay focused, prepare. We're going to leave on Thursday night,
36
00:01:58.599 --> 00:01:59.939
get out there, and go get a win on the
37
00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:04.709
West Coast. But yeah, going back to Coach Riley and
38
00:02:04.730 --> 00:02:06.469
his staff, I think they do a really, really good job.
39
00:02:06.530 --> 00:02:11.229
And they're as good as anybody in the country, not
40
00:02:11.270 --> 00:02:12.719
only on the field, but also in recruiting.
41
00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:16.849
Ryan Day's football program is not the only juggernaut football
42
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.960
program on the Ohio State campus. James Griega's club football team, yeah,
43
00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:23.180
they're a little bit of a dynasty as well. They
44
00:02:23.219 --> 00:02:25.460
have won more than one national championship over the last
45
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:29.819
couple of years. They also just beat Wayne State 105-0.
46
00:02:30.419 --> 00:02:34.340
So there was actually an ESPN reporter at the interviews
47
00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:37.330
on Tuesday who asked Ryan Day about the club football
48
00:02:37.349 --> 00:02:40.689
team and if whether the Ohio State varsity football team
49
00:02:40.930 --> 00:02:41.990
sees any benefits from that.
50
00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:46.740
So yeah, with the club, we've been able to get
51
00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:50.300
a couple guys on the team, which has been great.
52
00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:52.360
I can't sit here and say it's been a lifeblood
53
00:02:52.379 --> 00:02:56.900
of the program, but it is an opportunity for some
54
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:58.460
guys to get in the program and be part of
55
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.289
what we do here. So yeah, you just never know.
56
00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:04.030
And maybe there's a way to even build it stronger
57
00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:04.789
in the future.
58
00:03:05.789 --> 00:03:08.469
Phillip Bell has been really good in the punt return
59
00:03:08.490 --> 00:03:10.629
game so far this year. He was also a high
60
00:03:10.669 --> 00:03:13.789
school teammate of Luke Fahey. So does that maybe make
61
00:03:13.830 --> 00:03:16.930
him a bigger part of the offense moving forward, that
62
00:03:16.969 --> 00:03:18.110
connection between those two?
63
00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:21.689
I don't think that ties into it too much, but
64
00:03:21.710 --> 00:03:23.569
I will say that I think Phil is getting better
65
00:03:23.629 --> 00:03:26.090
each week. You're starting to see him make plays. Like
66
00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:27.530
you said, in the kicking game, he made a really
67
00:03:27.569 --> 00:03:31.150
nice catch against Indiana on a third down spot. So
68
00:03:31.449 --> 00:03:34.900
he's earning more and more playing time every, every week. And, um,
69
00:03:35.550 --> 00:03:38.400
another opportunity this week to go ahead and do that. But, um,
70
00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:42.819
you know, I think his ability to, you know, help
71
00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:44.960
on special teams has a lot of more opportunities on
72
00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:46.860
the field and that's typically how it goes here at
73
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.590
Ohio state. So, um, you know, when he gets his
74
00:03:49.629 --> 00:03:51.490
opportunities in this game right here, we're going to need
75
00:03:51.509 --> 00:03:51.870
them as well.
76
00:03:52.610 --> 00:03:54.889
Things seem like they're trending in a good direction for
77
00:03:54.930 --> 00:03:58.400
Ohio state in terms of getting offensive lineman, Austin Cirovel back.
78
00:03:58.930 --> 00:04:01.669
this weekend. So how much would him getting him back
79
00:04:01.789 --> 00:04:04.449
help the offensive line? And how much is the line
80
00:04:04.469 --> 00:04:06.949
going to be leaned on to help the new quarterback succeed?
81
00:04:07.629 --> 00:04:12.689
It certainly will. So this is everybody, you know, and
82
00:04:12.710 --> 00:04:17.209
I think that's an important message for everybody on the team.
83
00:04:17.230 --> 00:04:22.180
Like we all have to step up, coaches, players. And
84
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:23.959
what does that mean? Well, just we got to be
85
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.740
on our game more and more. I mean, the margin
86
00:04:25.779 --> 00:04:29.189
for error certainly has has tightened up, there's no question.
87
00:04:29.529 --> 00:04:32.079
And the offensive line has a direct impact on how
88
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:35.620
that's going to go. So it's the quarterback's job to
89
00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:37.600
make sure that they're earning the trust of the guys
90
00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:40.860
up front, but it's also those guys' job to protect them,
91
00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:45.899
to encourage them, to make sure that when he's in
92
00:04:45.930 --> 00:04:48.629
the huddle, they're there because they played a lot of football.
93
00:04:49.410 --> 00:04:51.009
It's the quarterback's job when he steps in that huddle
94
00:04:51.029 --> 00:04:52.829
to run the huddle, though. So it goes hand in hand.
95
00:04:53.470 --> 00:04:55.629
But I think if you get around the guys and
96
00:04:55.649 --> 00:04:59.209
you ask about our quarterbacks, You know, they're excited about
97
00:04:59.230 --> 00:05:03.509
the opportunity. Obviously, they're disappointed that Julian got hurt. But
98
00:05:04.470 --> 00:05:06.389
that's behind us now. And it's all about moving forward.
99
00:05:06.410 --> 00:05:08.449
And I think this is a great opportunity for all
100
00:05:08.490 --> 00:05:10.310
those guys to prove themselves that, hey, man, like I
101
00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:13.339
can pull my end of the bargain on this thing and,
102
00:05:13.459 --> 00:05:14.980
you know, put it on my shoulders. You know, and
103
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.339
I think that has to be the approach of everybody.
104
00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:18.740
Everyone's got to do their part and take the responsibility
105
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:19.399
of going to win this game.
106
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.240
Right after Julian Sane went down during that post-game interview
107
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.120
at Indiana, Jeremiah Smith talked about the fact that it
108
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.019
was not going to be instant for him to build
109
00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:31.709
a connection with Luke Fahey in sort of the way
110
00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:34.850
that he had one with Julian Sane. So have those
111
00:05:34.889 --> 00:05:36.769
two basically been attached at the hip over the last
112
00:05:36.810 --> 00:05:37.310
couple of weeks?
113
00:05:38.529 --> 00:05:41.189
Yeah, I think he said it was going to take time. Yeah,
114
00:05:41.379 --> 00:05:43.920
and it does. It takes time, but he's been on
115
00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:47.449
the field and he's thrown to him before, but I
116
00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:49.610
think it's clear that, you know, he and Julian spent
117
00:05:49.629 --> 00:05:51.610
a lot of time together. And so this is new,
118
00:05:51.670 --> 00:05:56.600
but yeah, it's, you know, Jeremiah is a tremendous talent and,
119
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.319
you know, he can adjust quickly. And the good thing about,
120
00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:03.060
you know, he and Luke is, you know, Luke, you
121
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:04.860
just got to get it somewhere in the neighborhood of
122
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.560
number four and he's going to pull it down. So,
123
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.819
but that goes back to the same thing as we
124
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.699
said about the offensive line. Like, all right, Jeremiah, you know,
125
00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:14.069
if he puts it on you, let's go make a play.
126
00:06:14.089 --> 00:06:15.529
But if he's a little bit off, you got to,
127
00:06:15.529 --> 00:06:16.699
you got to, you got to pick them up a
128
00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:19.100
little bit. And that's going to be how it goes
129
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.180
until these guys get their confidence and get their feet
130
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:27.120
underneath them. Which again, one of the great messages for
131
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.610
a young player at any position is that every day
132
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.529
in practice, you're going against a really good unit on
133
00:06:32.550 --> 00:06:34.670
the other side of the ball. So again, whether I'm
134
00:06:34.689 --> 00:06:37.689
a young DB, you're guarding some of the best receivers
135
00:06:37.709 --> 00:06:41.189
in the country every day or whatever the position comparison is.
136
00:06:41.230 --> 00:06:44.129
It's the same thing at quarterback. We have a good
137
00:06:44.149 --> 00:06:47.329
defense here. So Just know that every day you're going
138
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:48.939
against really good defenses, and you're going to go against
139
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.180
a really good defense this week, but you've been preparing
140
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.860
for this moment. So just prepare at a high level,
141
00:06:54.180 --> 00:06:56.220
do a great job focusing, and then just trust your
142
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.000
training at the end of the day and find the
143
00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:58.579
speed of the game.
144
00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:01.800
In a separate answer and a very brief answer, Ryan
145
00:07:01.819 --> 00:07:04.870
Day said that Austin Sierveld would probably be playing tackle
146
00:07:04.930 --> 00:07:08.529
this week if and when he plays. So assuming he
147
00:07:08.569 --> 00:07:11.110
can play, we know he's going to play tackle, so
148
00:07:11.129 --> 00:07:12.750
what does that mean the offensive line looks like?
149
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.240
Yeah, I think it's just going to depend on how much,
150
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.079
you know, Austin's available to play. If he can play
151
00:07:19.110 --> 00:07:21.389
a full game or not, we'll have to figure that
152
00:07:21.430 --> 00:07:23.389
out as the week goes on and see how he does.
153
00:07:23.410 --> 00:07:26.970
You know, he was not available even last week to practice.
154
00:07:26.990 --> 00:07:28.509
This will be his first full week of practice. So
155
00:07:29.850 --> 00:07:31.750
we'll have to see how he is coming back and
156
00:07:31.769 --> 00:07:34.740
then kind of go from there. You know, when both
157
00:07:34.769 --> 00:07:37.300
guys are healthy, I think they both help us. And
158
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:38.899
I think we have to assess that as the week
159
00:07:38.939 --> 00:07:41.160
goes on. Like, all right, how much is he able
160
00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:43.100
to play this week? And then What gives us the
161
00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:45.480
best chance to win? And so that's something we've got
162
00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:46.379
to kind of assess over the next.
163
00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:49.480
Couple of days. If Julian Sane had not gotten hurt,
164
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.399
I'm guessing this would have been a much bigger story
165
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.100
coming out of that Indiana game. But they ran a
166
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.959
bunch of 14 personnel, 13 personnel. You're pulling wide receivers
167
00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:00.370
off the field. You're throwing extra tight ends on the field.
168
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:03.490
Now that they had some time to sort of evaluate
169
00:08:03.529 --> 00:08:07.110
things over the week off, Are they still seeing benefits
170
00:08:07.149 --> 00:08:09.870
from all those multiple tight end looks that they're running
171
00:08:09.910 --> 00:08:12.050
out there? Or with some of the young receivers maybe
172
00:08:12.069 --> 00:08:14.430
coming along, could that mix potentially change?
173
00:08:14.810 --> 00:08:19.550
Yeah, I think there's strengths and weaknesses to the multiple
174
00:08:19.589 --> 00:08:22.410
personnel groupings that we use. I think they're both, or
175
00:08:22.490 --> 00:08:25.189
all three and four, and you see multiple guys come
176
00:08:25.209 --> 00:08:29.279
in the game. And sometimes it's three receivers, but which
177
00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:33.500
three receivers? Or there's two tight ends, and then there's Jake,
178
00:08:34.029 --> 00:08:35.639
So there's a bunch of different ways to look at it.
179
00:08:35.690 --> 00:08:38.710
Sometimes you put legend in there. So there's a lot
180
00:08:38.730 --> 00:08:42.450
of different personnel groupings. And I think you try to
181
00:08:42.490 --> 00:08:44.570
put the guys in the best position to be successful,
182
00:08:44.590 --> 00:08:46.690
but you identify who gives you the best chance to win.
183
00:08:46.710 --> 00:08:48.350
I think the good news is we do have a
184
00:08:48.389 --> 00:08:50.110
lot of guys that can bring different things to the table.
185
00:08:50.669 --> 00:08:52.870
I think when you're just exclusively one thing, it's a
186
00:08:52.870 --> 00:08:54.690
little easier to get narrowed down on. So we try
187
00:08:54.710 --> 00:08:57.750
to keep it moving, knowing that we're probably not just
188
00:08:57.769 --> 00:08:59.429
going to be in one or two groupings. We're going
189
00:08:59.450 --> 00:09:01.009
to kind of try to keep it going. We think
190
00:09:01.029 --> 00:09:03.809
that puts the most stress on the defense. But to
191
00:09:03.850 --> 00:09:05.710
your point, we have to evaluate and make sure that
192
00:09:06.789 --> 00:09:08.070
we're putting the guys on the field that give us
193
00:09:08.110 --> 00:09:10.450
the best chance to win based on who we're playing to.
194
00:09:10.769 --> 00:09:14.049
Sometimes it's a matchup situation based on the scheme, based
195
00:09:14.090 --> 00:09:15.450
on what they're going to do in terms of matching
196
00:09:15.490 --> 00:09:17.570
their personnel. So it's kind of that back and forth game.
197
00:09:17.590 --> 00:09:20.200
But no, when you go into a bye week, you
198
00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:25.240
evaluate everything. You evaluate, obviously, the personnel, you know, the scheme,
199
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.080
and then are we coaching it right? And so somewhere
200
00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.919
in there is where you make these big decisions that,
201
00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:34.460
you know, ultimately, you'll get, you know, get tested on
202
00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:36.399
game day. And so this, this is all the decisions.
203
00:09:36.470 --> 00:09:39.019
And we talk a lot about as coaches, like the
204
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.809
decisions that are made in that room are typically what happens,
205
00:09:41.850 --> 00:09:44.929
you know, the outcome gets affected on Saturday. So we
206
00:09:44.950 --> 00:09:46.929
take that very, very seriously and it's our job to
207
00:09:46.950 --> 00:09:48.350
put them in a situation to be successful.
208
00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:52.049
Julian Sane has been the big injury story and the
209
00:09:52.090 --> 00:09:54.429
big injury news around the Ohio State football program over
210
00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:55.929
the last couple of weeks. But there are other guys
211
00:09:55.950 --> 00:09:59.169
who've been banged up as well. Mentioned Austin Searveld earlier.
212
00:09:59.269 --> 00:10:01.190
He sounds, seems like he's trending in a good direction.
213
00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:04.000
What about Kenyatta Jackson and Jay Timmons? Have they been
214
00:10:04.029 --> 00:10:06.039
able to practice over the last week and where do
215
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:07.059
things stand with those guys?
216
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.980
We, last week was a great opportunity to get a
217
00:10:09.980 --> 00:10:12.639
bunch of guys, sort of some rest. Um, some of
218
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.860
them could have practiced. Some of them, we just kind
219
00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:18.700
of held back. Um, we'll see how, how this week goes. Um,
220
00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:20.850
I think we'll get a good portion of them back,
221
00:10:21.149 --> 00:10:24.750
but probably not all of them. And we'll kind of
222
00:10:24.789 --> 00:10:27.330
just see some of them. Most of the ones that
223
00:10:27.350 --> 00:10:29.029
I think you're talking about are ones that will probably
224
00:10:29.070 --> 00:10:30.370
go throughout the end of the week. And as we
225
00:10:30.389 --> 00:10:33.070
get closer to the game, we'll get an idea. But
226
00:10:33.529 --> 00:10:34.809
we'll be able to get them a couple days off,
227
00:10:35.409 --> 00:10:36.909
come back on Sunday, get them to move around a
228
00:10:36.929 --> 00:10:38.360
little bit. But today will be the real test.
229
