Hey, hey, where you've been,

Buckeye talk is about to begin.

Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

I think, I thought we're starting there because I think I've understood it. He can't be

the starter still.

But it's welcome back to Buckeye Talk. I'm Stephen Means and that's Stefan Christnique. And this is your Monday leave no doubt pot. Every week we try to answer the question, did Ohio State leave no doubt? And sometimes that's rewatching a game and talking about it from that perspective. And the ex is another's perspective. Sometimes it's a bigger picture conversation. Sometimes it's using the outside world to answer that question about Ohio State as well.

Today, we're tapping into anti-Steven because we're not really going to talk about the passing game at all.

Because there was nothing wrong with the passing game.

Julian Sands pick was, I think I know what happened on the pick. If you rewatch the play, Stefan, Jeremiah sits in a zone because they dropped eight. Brandon Ennis is looking at as scrambled drill. I don't think that target was a Jeremiah Smith and one of our Texer, 6143,50, 3,0, 3,15. I think it was the Brandon Nis. Either way, it just shouldn't have been thrown. He should have just thrown it out the back of the end zone and lived another day. Whatever. And then on the other play to Max Clare, he just threw a bad pass. Whatever. Julian Sand doesn't do either one of those things enough for us to spend more than the 15 seconds I just spent on it. We're going to be talking offensive line. We're going to be talking running backs. We'll talk a little bit of receiver too, just because I felt like, and you wrote this at the buzzer, Stefan, with the skilled positions, especially receiver and offensive line a little bit, today was probably the best possible today to learn about people who have not been the starters and what type of depth Ohio State has. And I felt like we learned some good,

some bad, and some, a little bit of in between. But regardless, the positive is we learn things.

Yeah, it feels like the moment you hit record on this podcast, we were getting ready to, you know,

light up, Tenglishable and everything that he's done along the

offensive line. And then now that you're recording and there's this red button, I'm looking at

my notes, thinking to myself, I don't know, was Tegro Sibola really that bad in terms of what

Ohio State did offensively? And I think the answer is yes and no. And then I think you look at

Myelin Graham. I think the answer is yes and no. I think you look at Bryson Rogers and the answer is yes and no. And then ultimately, I come up with a thesis statement of what this podcast is about to be. And the answer is there's a lot of young dudes who haven't got a lot of opportunities. And when they stepped in for Ohio State against Purdue,

there was a lot of good and there was a lot of bad. So offensively against Purdue, there were a lot of people who got snaps. There were 10 different offensive linemen who took a snap,

five different tight ends, five different wide receivers, four different running backs and two different

quarterbacks who took a snap in this game.

And I wouldn't, I mean, the whole game was essentially garbage minute snaps. Ohio State was never any danger of losing this game. This felt like the closest thing we could see to a scrimmage that we could see from Ohio State in a real game. And to start with Tegra, we'll start old and we'll get young. And when I sent Stefan the rundown for today's pod, the first bullet point is what exactly is wrong with Tegrashebola? And you kind of answered it. It's a little bit of yes and a little bit of no. And I've figured it out. And I'm going to use this. I'm going to start with positivity. He had a really good pancake on Ohio State's third and three with about 310 left in

the second quarter where it's like, yes, that's what it looks like. He's 6.6, 330 pounds. Yeah,

that's just good job. I almost was looking actively for those types of plays because there's no
