Hey, hey, where you been? Look, I talk, it's about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to your Friday game preview, Doug Lee Murray, Stephen Mead, Ohio State Rutgers, and guys, I do feel like over the years, we have done a pretty good job of trying to make Rutgers interesting.

We've talked about swamp monsters, we've talked about recruiting in New Jersey, and I'm out.

This is not going to be that. Nathan, I got nothing left. There's no more way to make Rutgers interesting, and there's actually the big tennis working against us here, because last week Rutgers played Iowa, and the only way to make Rutgers less interesting is to have the game before the Ohio State game be against Iowa's offense with just drags down everything.

If you're looking, I'm just going to tell you people, listen, you're a loyal book. I talk listeners. We'd love you. We'd love you when you're here. Our numbers are great. We're feeling great about the pod. This isn't going to be one of the best ones, but it's Jim Delaney's fault. Nathan, and I'm already I started off being bored at the beginning of this podcast, and now I'm already angry again that it's this week. I have to talk about Rutgers again, and there's nothing left. The tank is empty.

I apologize.

I mean, here's really all you need to know about Rutgers is that their defense could hold Iowa, and I say hold with a very liberal meaning, because you don't have to really hold Iowa's offense to anything, but held Iowa's offense to 277 total yards, and a one of nine performance on third down, and lost by 17 points at home. That's what we're dealing with.

Well, they also, they didn't, as you said, they didn't hold anything, because Iowa scored twice on defense. They had a pick six, and they had a fumble recovery for a touchdown. So the Iowa offense as awful as it is.

Didn't even get to be on the field, because Rutgers couldn't competently hold on to the ball to even make Iowa try to drive it, because as we know, the only person holding down the Iowa offense is Brian Farrance.

It is not Rutgers. It is not anybody else.

So by Kirk Kirk Kirk.

Yeah, I was going to say yes. So Kirk Farrance by relation was really.

No, I guess it's not it's like it's it's not it's not the kids fault, right? If your child bites another kid on the playground, you bear responsibility for that as a parent.

The first time at home, you should be working on not biting, right? Let's work on not biting. So the parents offense should be working on let's Brian. Hey, can we come over to the homework table? Let's sit down.

Let's drop a third down play last week. We were one of nine on third down. Show me what you got. Let's work it out. Show your work. Well, dad, what if the tight end did this?

It's always a tight end, Brian. You have to do the other thing. I was set up a field goal last week. They ran like a basically a go route with their tight end.

This is I'm I'm I'm mad that Iowa and Rutgers existed as a game.

They put out Sam Laporta who might be the best tight end of the big 10. They just flanked him out as a receiver by himself on the left like he's Marvin Harris and junior like he's next receiver.

And he just ran past the corner for like a 45 yard game. He was like their best offensive play and they couldn't even cash that in. They had to kick a field goal. So that's 17 of their 27 points. It was.

I call it. I came up with this is my new acronym Nathan for games like that. It's GIO. Hey, what was that match up like GIO, man? It's game in oatmeal. It looks like that. You watch the highlights of the game. It looks like it's in slow motion.

We we took a vet because I like my oatmeal thick. We put too much water in the oatmeal. No good. You have to have a nice thick oatmeal. It looked like they were an oatmeal up to their hips trying to run through that Nathan. It's a different sport Rutgers versus Iowa.

So like I don't please we can't I know you texted it out 614 350 3315 that Ryan Day was talking about well, you know Rutgers held Iowa. It wasn't holding.
