Good morning block nutters, it is Sunday November 14th.

2021, I am Dan Rubin. This is almost live our in season Sunday morning post game podcast as always. We are joined by the people's champ Matt backs and delbacks. How goes it?

Well, the terrifying specter of the Purdue football team hovered over Ohio Stadium yesterday and Ohio State managed to scare them off. Ghostbusters style with a dominant win. So I feel pretty good on the Sunday morning.

We could talk about the entire game, although I have a written down here with seven minutes and 22 seconds left in the second quarter. Garrett Wilson scored on a 51 yard touchdown to make it 42 to seven and the game was essentially over. This is the offense. We all wanted to see backs.

Yeah, Garrett Wilson had an incredible game to me for touchdown says it's all all to himself, but it does you know, good this offense is that one week Jax and Smith and Jigba is the guy who's out there putting up all the scores and having 200 yards receiving and the next week Garrett Wilson's out there making circus catches and scoring four touchdowns and you've had weeks obviously with Chris O'Lava is like the old faithful of the three of them who you know is just going to be very good every week. I think at one point I looked at it and noticed you at 13 carries for 174 yards in the second quarter.

It tells you exactly what you just said. This is the offense. We have been waiting to see and it's it's a good protein that had no prayer in the first half of high estate came out. It was like we're the big boys here.

Go back in the back of the line. You know, they became out in the high state was such a like we're eating reading New York strip steak tonight. You're eating Salisbury steak at the Golden Corral. Get out of our way.

Unfortunately, my son might go to the Golden Corral because I've never seen anybody eat more, but I digress. It's hard to even like I said earlier, I think it's a little bit hard to put the game in the context just because at 42 to 7, the game was over.

I mean, they're essentially in damage control. You could play prevent defense from there on out. Why do you think they were so dominant? What was it? Was the offensive line better?

Was the running game better with Nebraska and Penn State? They struggled. Do you put the difference there? How do you describe the dominance?

First of all, Purdue is not good against the run and we stuck with it and the whole state was ripping runs left and right when like I said, when you're averaging 15 yards of carry for a half.

You're going to win a lot of football games. I think the offensive line hurt a lot of the criticism, but we have led you

among us and everybody else that against them the last two weeks, right?

The offensive line hadn't been great against Penn State. It wasn't great against the Nebraska, but when we got out there on the field yesterday,

there is no question that they blocked everybody they saw for a half and by the time that they were done blocking everybody that they saw was 45, 17 and a half time.

So I think a lot of credit goes to the offensive line for the way they played yesterday. And on top of that, I just think Ohio State came out

well aware of what happened with Purdue a few years ago at Purdue. The new Purdue was good enough to beat top teams and they clearly resolved themselves. They weren't going to let this team beat them.

And when it's a high estate team plays like they did yesterday. Good luck. There's not many teams that can play with them. And I think I just think a big part of that yesterday was that the O line played at a level we hadn't really seen in a little while.

And like we need to also remember the score 50 points, but this wasn't a great defense they went against. The reason Purdue was scary was because they were able to score on everyone and managed to turn the ball over against a couple of top teams.

End of the day. Ohio State is not Iowa. I know, Ohio State is not Michigan State. Ohio State is a far better football team. This is a dominant performance for the buck guys.

If you just picked up the box score, you would think that the Purdue quarterback, Aadon O'Connell had a tremendous game. I have a hard time putting it in context, like I said before, because of the way the score was. How do you feel about the way the defense performed? They were obviously good enough to get it to 42 to 7.

Yeah, it feels like it's the thing. It's this normal human instinct when you're up by that much to kind of relax. And I think from the coaching perspective, you didn't want to give up close scores or quick scores. I mean, so at the end of the day, the defense did their job.
