It's time for Texas | Keys to victory for Buckeyes

0:00Hi everyone, Dave Bittel here. The appetizer is over. It's time for the main course. So, Ohio State faces off with Texas in Austin tomorrow night. We're going to talk all about it on today's show with Jonah Booker. We're going to give score predictions, keys to victory for the buck guys and much more. All right, I will talk to you guys soon. Good morning, Buckner. It was welcome to the Buckner. It's morning five here on Friday, September 11th, 2026. I am Dave Bittel, very happy to join by Jonah Booker. We're going to get into Ohio State Texas predictions, keys to victory for the buck guys, thoughts around college football. Jay Buckner, I'm going to give our best bet for the week outside of the Ohio State Texas

1:02game. We all know what happened 25 years ago and we'll never forget. I did want to mention that. We'll never forget what happened 25 years ago and thoughts and prayers to anybody who lost the level in that day and thank you to anybody who helped save people that day. All right, let's get to Texas predictions. You go first and then I'll give you mine. Okay. I got Ohio State 31, Texas 24. 30. We're very, very close. I have Ohio State 27, Texas 20. There we go. So we're right there in the same ballpark. That's right. That's right. Yeah, I don't know what to make of it. Some people are saying it's going to be a shootout. We haven't seen a shootout with Matt Patricia, even like Indiana, would they score 13 points against this defense last year? Miami scored 24, but they really only scored 17 because it was a pick six, but this Texas man, they're explosive and arch looks like a different. He looks like a different dude. Yeah. With this game is different than last year because you got to keep in mind, start the season,

2:05Julian Sands first start archmaning, very new to it. They didn't have a lot of data for Matt Patricia. So he was able to throw a lot of things that they weren't expecting. And I will say this, I think with both off, with both quarterbacks having more reps under belt, Texas has a much better passing game that they had a year ago going into Columbus. I think both teams are going to be able to move the ball a little bit here. Man, the one thing that really gets me Dave here is the way that Texas State was able to move the football. Texas State put a 349 yards against Texas last week. So when you look at what Texas State was able to do, and it's kind of funny because I was doing a little sneak peek over to their boards while that Texas State game was going on. And their fans in the middle of that game, even though they were handling Texas State,

3:08they said, oh, how Thanksgiving to put up 600 yards on this. Wait, wait, it is secondary. Looks like Julian Sands is right for having a monster game down there in Texas. This is going to be so interesting. Texas brought in more transfers than Ohio State. They didn't bring in like, it's not like they brought in like 30. I think they brought in like 23 something like that, but they really, I mean, they did overturn their roster even more than Ohio State did. They did a good job in the port. A lot of people ranked them with the best portal class. I'm impressed. I'm impressed with their talent for sure. But yeah, that was that was notable. Now I'm sure Mustcam didn't want to show Ohio State much. So I don't know what to make. You can say you can still sit in your base defense, man. And given a 350 yards against the Texas State team, that's, you know, I'm not saying that's the end all be all, but there is something to be said about that. No doubt about it. All right, we're going to get much more in Texas talk. I do want to give our best bet for the week as well. I'll go first on this one. We'll get J. Books best bet.

4:08Hey, but we both hit last week. Dave. I'm more right. I barely, I've knocked it out of the park by a half point with my Toledo covering against Michigan State. Thank you, Fitz for not trying to get that cover fit. This is Michigan State. Look like they were much better than Toledo there. Michigan State looked better than I expected. But yeah, yours was awesome. And you nailed that by a million. Like that was the under for South Florida and Florida international. It was six, nothing at six, nothing at half time. Yeah. And what was the lower under like 65 or something? No, I was 50. I think it was like 51 or something like that. OK, OK, I just I think you got it by a lot. I'm OK. It was so it was so far off. But I got another good one this week. So we're going to see how it plays out. Go ahead, you get yours in first. OK, I've got this almost seems like it's like a trap because I'm like, uh, based on what we saw last week, I'm going Oklahoma over Michigan, Oklahoma. I'm going to lay the five and a half at the big house. Now you talk to Utah fans.

5:09They're not very happy with Kyle waiting. And they thought they they were not happy that he kind of hemmed and haught about whether he was going to retire and then he thought he was going to retire and then decided to take the Michigan job. But then they weren't mad about that. But then he took a bunch of people with them and they were mad about that. But I you listen to the Utah fans are like, waiting him is at his best when he's at it and he's an underdog and everybody's riding off Michigan. But man, I mean, maybe maybe Michigan will turn around, but I need to see it first. Oklahoma. I mean, they've got a really good roster. They're a great defense. Give me Oklahoma minus five and a half. And I like mater. Materials healthy this year. Yeah, that broke last year. Yeah. What do you think the score is going to be on because the total is kind of high when you look at Michigan's offense going against this Oklahoma defense like, man, that that total is pretty high. Was it like 40 43 something like that? I'll be surprised. Yeah. I'll be surprised if they go over that. Yeah. The game was pretty low scoring. It was like 24 seven something like that.

6:11Yeah. Yeah, I mean, like we'll see. I mean, like, I like that five and a half. It does seem like it's too good to be true. I know, right? I almost like just through that. Like when it seems too good to be true, you should run away. I don't know. I'm not running away though. I'm going to go with it. Yeah. All right. My best bet of the week, BYU versus Arizona total over 47 and a half here. I think this is, I think this is right for a game to where it can go way above that. You might be able to get 30 points itself by BYU. This is the BYU squad that's absolutely loaded. They played to nobody last week, put up 63 points. You have an Arizona team with like a 10th year quarterback in North Africa that's coming to town. They might be able to get you at least 17, the 21 points here. But this reminds me of one of those big 12 games that can play into the 50s.

7:12The high 50s here. So give me BYU Arizona over 47 and a half. The other one, which I was considering and I'll throw it out here just for fun. Alabama versus Kentucky over 47 and a half as well. That one was one to where I think Alabama might get into the 40s themselves in this game against Kentucky. Can't Kentucky get you 10 points or so possibly? I think so. But that was the one that I was actually considering. Alabama and Kentucky as my best bet. But I went ahead went with the BYU and BYU at Arizona. So for me, Dave, I might do a three leg parlay with adding your pick in with those three picks. I'm really going to do a single bet with those over unders. That's your thing. The total points. That's your game right there. I like it. Let's get back to keys to beating Texas. I mean, just get into it more.

8:12What are some of even there's so many keys? Obviously, whoever wins the battle, the trenches is a huge key. Which quarterback plays what better? I mean, but there's so many keys. What are some of your keys to victory, my man? My biggest key for this game is third down conversions. Here's the one of the weirdest stats that I've seen that in a team still was able to win a game. The last two times that Ohio State has faced Texas, they've only converted three first downs, third downs. I'm sorry. In each one of these games, there are three for 22 in the last two games against Texas. And they were still able to go ahead and convert those into first downs. So each game, sorry, six for 22, each game they converted three. What does that tell me? That tells me that Ohio State can be more efficient, but it also tells me that Ryan Day, these last two matches, even though they've been horrible in third down, he's stick

9:14to the script. He's been very disciplined in his approach. And even though things got tough, he didn't deviate. And that has been the difference in Ryan Day as well as Steve Sarkiesian. Steve Sarkiesian, everybody knows, is been that first script. He's very good when it comes to that very opening script. Once he gets out of that script, and he really has to adjust to what the defenses are doing, that's when it really starts to get a little sticky for him. And he doesn't have that discipline that Ryan Day has shown over the last two games. And for Ohio State can just be a hair better or third down, stay on schedule. That right there is going to be critical for Ohio State. The Will Must Champ hire is very intriguing to me. I don't know how it's going to go. It might be a home run. I know they struggled their first game, but again, that's maybe was Must Champ just not wanting to show Ohio State anything, although to your point, you shouldn't give it that

10:16many yards of Texas State, even if you are vanilla. And I agree with you. He's fascinating. He was obviously one of the best defensive coordinators in college football. He parlayed that head coach in job at Florida, head coach at South Carolina. But he has not been a defensive coordinator for 11 years. It was Auburn in 2015 was the last time he was a defensive coordinator. I'm sure when he was at South Carolina's head coach, he didn't call the defense obviously he was heavily involved in everything. So I'm like, he's been away from the game for 11 years. He was an analyst at Georgia in the last few years. I'm sure he was heavily involved in all things defense, obviously. But I'm curious what you make of that because it's not exactly like riding a bike because football changes so much like every five years or so roughly. He hasn't called, hasn't been a DC for 11 years. Again, it might be a home run hire or a mind not. I don't know. It's going to be interesting to see that Will Must Champ, how that turns out. I'm curious who your thoughts on that. I didn't understand Texas fire in their previous defensive coordinator because I don't think

11:16the defense was an issue. I mean, they were still building like a top 15 defense nationally. And this was in Ohio State offense that Texas for the most part over the last two years kind of held them down and they still fired their defense coordinator. I don't like the guys who used to have that fastball back in the day coming back and coaching again. You typically don't see those coaches reaching those heights that they once reached at their prime. And I kind of think that Will Must Champs on that back nine of his career. I don't know if he still has it like he used to. This is going to be a fascinating game because it's going to tell a lot about where this Texas team can go because if Ohio State goes in there and if we're right in Ohio State puts up 30 points against his Texas defense, which has one of the most expensive rosters in college football.

12:17That right there is going to be a tell tell sign. Now for Ohio State, getting after archmaning, that's going to be the key here. How did they create pressure? The last couple years Ohio State has whoops Texas up front in the trenches. There are defense of the line beat up their offensive line and they made life a living hell for archmaning in the pocket. He couldn't set his feet. He couldn't get through his reads in time. And I'm fascinated by what Matt Patricia is going to be able to dial up this game. You know he's going to have some tricks that have up his sleeve. And the one thing that really makes Matt Patricia great is what you're seeing pre snap is not what you're necessarily going to see post snap. And there's not a lot of teams in the country that is that sophisticated on defense to be able to do that and to be able to teach it against college kids. Steve Cusar Kejan said it last year post game. He goes there were a lot of times to where they had no idea what Ohio State was in defensively

13:22post snap because the picture completely changed. And so you think that Matt Patricia is going to rely on that again because Mark archmaning struggled with that so much last year up there in Columbus. And I think you're going to see a lot of that this year. If he holds that ball and he's patting patting that's when arch gets in trouble. That's when he gets in trouble. I'm talking about speaking of most champ. I bet he was watching Ohio State's offensive line and kind of licking his chops. Geez. I don't know. We have like you know but rational saying that we have any vibes on. Are there going to be any personnel changes? My guess is they're going to let Philip Daniel start but he's going to be on the shortest of leashes that we've ever seen. That was alarming against what's going to be the worst defense they faced all year or maybe the second worst. We'll see about Kent State. Yeah. They're going to be the worst of the second worst defense they faced all year and Julian's out there getting killed early. He back. He can tell you what Julian can take a lick. We saw it last year against Miami. There are a couple of times I'm like, oh geez, you can get up, bounces right back up.

14:23He can take a shot for a not a huge quarterback. But yeah man, the offensive line, that's a huge concern. Here's my thing, Dave. You have an all big 10 tackle and cerebell playing guard and you have a right tackle who's not a tackle who should be playing guard. Like I truly believe that Philip Daniels doesn't have the feet to play on the edge against an elite speed rusher. He's late and there are times where his feet are stuck in the mud. When you throw on the all 22, he's going the wrong direction in run place. He's knocking into his own teammates. That's more or less a mental, mental mistakes bust up front. Like hey, you're stepping with your own foot. You're not climbing up to the second level when you're supposed to. You're not coming up the combination blocks like it's designed to. I think he great.

15:24I think his PFS score was like in a low 50s. He graded out really bad man. That's not a good sign because you're going against ball state. Ball state supposed to be the game to where you're tuning up for Texas. Let me go out there, put together a good game, smash them people. I got good vibes going into this Texas game because I've coming off a great game against ball state. But now there's like a huge blinking red light at the right tackle position. You know Texas, they're going to attack him. If we see it as a house safe fence, those guys that are being paid millions of dollars down there in Texas, they're bringing up that game film and saying go after the right tackle. Because at that point, it makes it extremely difficult for them to really stress the field with their Y receivers. If they have a fear that Philip Danielson's not going to hold up at that right tackle position.

16:25On our end, that's right there. That's going to be the key. Kenna Hoss, they off into line, hold up against this past Russian against Texas. It has it has tag revives, man. Going into this match like that was a tagger type of performance when you have like a 50 low 50 PFF score and you're just getting beat to the punch because you can't move your feet. Let's go Philip, man. This has to be an amazing thing is he played really well against Texas last year. I don't understand where the regressions coming from. That's on bow and man. His offensive line coach, you got a guy who has hundreds of snaps under his belt and he's going backwards. He's not going in the right direction. That's on bow and that's your position coach, buddy. No doubt about it, man. Like real quick, if they do sub out Daniels, I thought Padilla would be the first guard off the bench. He's obviously the backup center.

17:25I thought he'd be the top guard. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised because Van Sickle did get a couple of starts last year. But when they moved Sarah, it was like the third series of the game. G's they had a bench Daniels. They put Sarah Vell to right tackle like you said and they brought in Van Sickle. I wonder if they do that again if they'll bring in Padilla or Van Sickle. I guess I would assume Van Sickle since he was the guy last week, but I kind of expected Padilla to be the first guy off the bench. You can hide a guard a lot of time who's so so, Dave. You can't hide a tackle that can't move. You're right there on that edge. You're going against the guys who at the next level are going to be paid a significant amount of money to bend that art, put pressure on the quarterback. And I feel like this offense line will be so much better, Dave, with Sarah Vell at the right tackle position because you know that you actually have a true tackle out there who can at I mean, Sarah will play all things because all things considering pretty well

18:30at the left tackle position. He showed that he can move his feet. He showed that he has the base to be able to anchor down at that tackle position. I don't know if if Phil Abdenuels is a better tackle than Sarah Vell. I feel like you have a plethora of options that you can pluck in at that right guard position. I don't think you have a variety of guys that you can put in at that tackle position. I think Austin Sarah Vell gives you a better option at that tackle. And then you can say, Hey, let's figure out this right guard position as we go. Yeah, that'll be interesting. All right, let's get back to some good stuff here. How about this freshman class? We knew it was really good. Dude, I mean, I didn't think Jay Timins was, I mean, we knew this like about a weekend to camp, but entering camp, I knew Jay Timins was going to play. Like that was clear and like leaving spring. I didn't know he's going to be the number one nickel. He is. He didn't technically start because they start out in a 4-3. Nice up T.J. All, all for to get the start. That was, that was nice for that young man.

19:31Got a pick. And his pick was thanks to another freshman. Yeah. Every wilder out there looking like Reggie White. Reggie White, we just throw dudes to the ground with one arm. We got a freshman out there that's just throwing dudes to the ground with one arm. And he's playing like three tech detackle early in the game in the Rushman packages and looks good doing it. I mean, I'll tell you what, Simmy on Caldwell is the backup safety. He's ahead of Terry Moore and Lee Roy Roker. I knew Simmy on Caldwell was good. I didn't know he was going to like be the number top backup safety. Obviously legend, Bay, Chris Henry Jr. Brock Boyd. You go on and on Jordan Thomas got a lot of snaps, like 15 snaps at corner. This freshman class is better than as advertised. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I mean, when Kyrie Roy put her Jack Knight that guy, he just hit him with the old school, hip toss man. I'm like, that's a raw stream for a true freshman to go in there and create that much having. Like, I was super impressed with his play. But yeah, this freshman class, they showed that they got the goods, man.

20:34And here's the fascinating thing. In years past, what was one of the knocks with Ohio State, they played a lot of seniority. Now, I think you have a kind of a different mindset under this leadership and these coaches to send, hey, man, best players are going to play regardless of how old you are, which is very refreshing. And to see that many young guys just given the opportunity to show what they got. It's been great. It's been great. It's going to help. It's going to help this roster so much day to have so much young talent playing. One, because you're playing the young guys, they're less likely to transfer because you already know that these guys are being paid to your A even come next year because you're playing these guys, you're going to have so many data points because you're going to be able to look to say, hey, these freshmen played over 150 snaps.

21:36If they do threaten to transfer, do we think that it's worth paying these guys? The answer is going to be yes, because you played them and you know that these kids are ballers. So you're going to want to keep them around as long as possible and take care of them. And finally, because you're playing these young guys come November, come December when you actually need to call upon them in case something happens, they're not the stage is not going to be too bright for them. They're going to say, hey, I've got this. I got this. I've played over 150 snaps during the regular season. I know my job. I'm going to play with discipline and I'm going to give you everything that I got because I feel comfortable in my role. So Ohio State just needs to continue to trust these guys and let them go out there and make plays, man. It's just only going to help this roster because later on in the season, the more guys that you're playing, more guys that are making plays, the deeper that this roster is going to be, especially when we're in the NIL era where that's going to be the knock on a lot of

22:42programs. Not a lot of teams are going to be deep. Not a lot of teams can afford the freshman class at Ohio State was able to generate the evaluation process. It speaks volumes about the staff because it's not very often that you hit on this many guys. Usually, okay, we have some younger guys and it takes some developmental time and next year year before they're contributing, no, boom, out the gate. You got a dozen freshmen that are out there making plays right now, which is extremely impressive. I want to stress how rare that is in college football for that many young guys to be able to be ball players out the gates. That's incredible, Dave. It's also interesting how many guys from Texas, Ohio State has on this team, eight. It's not like an incredible amount, but all eight of them play meaningful roles. Six of them are starters. Okay, Brock Boyd's not a starter, but he's playing a lot and Riley Petagion, I mean, I think

23:47Petagion and Alfred might be the best linebackers on this team. So Petagion's not technically a starter. So we have all these other guys, Devon Sanchez. I think this is going to, Devon Sanchez might have his coming out party. This is going to be a huge test for him because I really like Texas as receivers. I think I know Cam Coleman gets all like the hype. I think Ryan Wingo is their best receiver. I think he's, I think the role of Wingo, he's really good. I think Devon Sanchez is going to have a huge game, another guy from Texas, Peyton Pierce from Texas. All these guys from Texas, I love it. Legend Bays, another one. I'm considering. I'm kind of cheating and listing him as one of the starters because it's the starting kickoff returner. So I think that helps in a situation like that. Devon McEwen, the most underrated get in the portal in the country, note out about it in my opinion, another guy from Texas. I think that helps this week a little bit. That's not a huge factor. You know, you know who TJ Alper reminds me of throwback name Jerome Baker. Oh, I like that. You're just 17 or 17 like Baker did. Yeah. Same number. They kind of got that same build and they're extremely athletic.

24:48Like they're not the biggest linebacker, but man, can they make plays and get to the ball? Like he, he told TJ Alper reminds me of Jerome Baker when he was here. Like just a, just a guy that can really move sideline to sideline. He can be good. He's shown that he can be good in coverage. Not the biggest, bulky as linebacker, but just very athletic, very gifted with his feet. You're right. Those younger guys might be the better linebacker. Like there's an element of athleticism that gets ramped up another level when Alper and Petty John are in the game. But I would say this, Kristen Allegro is an absolute heat seeking missile. You go back and watch him. His relentless effort to the football. That's contagious, man. Like he's not one of those guys that are slacking out there. Like you watch him. Allegro is running. Sightline to sideline and he is giving you max effort.

25:51Like you can find a spot for those type of guys. I give him a tip of a cap because when they throw in that film, he's going to get a plus plus as far as his grade when you see the type of effort that he displays on the field. Those are going to get tested. We've been talking about Jay Timmans, rightfully so. We love Devon Sanchez, rightfully so. Dermain Matthews looked good last week. I know it was ball state, but like there were some questions about his, see, you know, this is a job to Dominic Kelly. No, Dominic Kelly is going to play more of this game. But those three guys will be tested. We'll know a lot about, I think we already know a lot about him, but we'll know a lot about Devon Sanchez, Jay Timmans and Dermain Matthews after this game. This is going to be a big test for him. This is probably, this will be the best Y Receiver court that they face all season. I mean, some people will say Oregon, I think this Texas Y Receiver group is better than Oregon. And if they have a, if they have a really good day, that's going to bowl extremely well for their confidence going forward in a guy like Dermain Matthews.

26:55He needs his confidence built up and he had a great first game, continue to build upon it. And I will say this day, it all starts up front. If that defense of front creates problems with Archman and he's not, he's not sure where he's looking at on the back end because the pitch is changing. This defense has an opportunity to at least get him a pick or two here. He's going to throw one up for grabs. I'm telling you right now, Arch is going to throw one up for grabs. Can they squeeze it and make a play? Being athlete, make a play on the back end. He looked really good throwing the deep ball last week's four for four on like deep balls and everybody like intermediate passes. He was two of five with an interception like, you know, it's going to be interesting. Okay, we'll get you out of here on this. Our guy is a mental bomb, 45 on YouTube. All right, he's like, Jay book, you take an arch or you take insane. You had a big one. Come on man, what kind of question is that? We got to arrive with our guy. We got to arrive with King Julian, man.

27:56I'm with you. I mean, Arch does bring that. He is a good runner. There's no doubt about that. But yeah, give me Julian. He just has like elite ball placement and now we're seeing the other areas of his game improve the processing. He changed the place of the line of scrimmage. Touchdown run, which is my favorite play of the game. So yes, wait, that was one of the most exciting three yard touchdowns Dave to see him move his feet and get in there. I was like, yes, yes. It tells you and that's a great point that you just made before we get out of here. Last year, the difference. How short of a leash was Julian saying last year, they barely let him do anything. Now speed forward to where we're going into this game. Now, now he has the authority to change the plays at the line of scrimmage. They're calling in multiple plays for him. And he has the he has the authority to get them out of a bad situation at the line of scrimmage. So the Julian saying that a lot of people saw against Texas night and day as far as what

29:02type of leash that he's worn now. Like that right there is going to be critical because it was whatever play came in regardless of if it was a good play or a bad play last year, you run it regardless. If Texas stopped it, they stopped it. Now, with the multiple plays coming in and his knowledge and experience, if he sees that Texas has shaded to one side to where they might be running, he now has the authority to flip the play, go to the other side. If he sees the safety is cheating down into the box, he sees Jeremiah Smith. All of a sudden has single man coverage. He can check out of what they were running to be able to get him into a play that attacks the man coverage where Jeremiah Smith is one on one. So that's a vast difference to what this Ohio State offense was that last year compared to where it is at right now. That's a great point Dave bringing that up. I totally forgot about that.

30:02It was on my mind and then you brought it up and I said, that's right. And I just love the way he carries himself to. He came out, we have the Ryan day press conference like the official, you know, the Tuesday press conference. And sometimes it's just Ryan David. This year they're bringing out two players too. Kind of like harping back to two years ago when we get Will Howard pretty much every weekend. Julian came out. This dude has gone from like, okay, California cool doesn't really like to say much to like. You can just see him blossoming into a lead. I just love the way he carries himself. I love everything. Big difference didn't quarterback up North and Michigan, right? Slightly. We've never seen a freshman like him. He was right. We've never seen a freshman like him. And then he's the best quarterback ever to come out of Michigan. All right. Yeah. I think we're going to see Tommy car. I know I'm not breaking news here. We're going to see Tommy car before law. We're going to start the right. He's on the wall up there in Michigan, man. Yeah. You can see this one coming a mile away. Like they that offense up there. Kyle Whittie Ham is like, I didn't sign up for this man. I mean, you look at the quarterback that they had.

31:04Dan Perett and you told me, I think they're setting a stage for that to beat our transfer quarterback coming next year. Like, hey, we need to go get our guy who can actually run the offense and who like, if you're if you're Michigan and you see your quarterback out there laughing throwing hospital balls to the tight end to where he's getting absolutely destroyed. You're you know, your car, Whittie Ham looking around like, what did I get myself into? Like, what is going on here? I know. He looked like why he probably wanted to bring the quarterback with him from Utah, but he knew like Michigan was paying like underwood $4 million a year. If you're people say $3 million, I heard it was a $12 million contract for three years because the security was going to go pro after three years.

What else would you expect from a Ohio State Texas showdown? Are we going to be going like, is the show going to start late? You better believe it. That bet we're going to have a huge, huge audience. And I hope you guys are part of that huge, huge audience because hopefully it's going to be a fun show. Regardless, there's going to be a lot to talk about. And I think this is going to be a fun game to the heavy weights and college football going at it for the third consecutive year. It's really cool. All this kicked off. Ohio State and Texas never played until 2005. And since then, this will be the sixth matchup since then. The Home and Home and O506. And it's really cool. It was exactly 20 years later when they did the other home and home. They played in that Viesta Bowl with Tressel and Todd Beckman started.

34:06But like, Torell was a wide receiver and Colt McCoy completed like 90% of his passes. But that was a really good game. And then they played, of course, in the cotton bowl, CFP sent my finals with scoop and soyer last year's opener. And now this has been a really good series that started in 2005. So last 21 years, it's been like almost like a little rivalry here between the Buck Eyes and Long Horns. Ohio State going down to Texas and recruiting like they have certainly has helped the cause to ratchet up the rivalry a little bit. Like we mentioned seven or excuse me, eight guys on Ohio State's roster right now from Texas, six of them are starters. And the two that are not starters play a lot. Brock Boyd, Riley Petodjean. So they got eight dudes from Texas that are like key members of this team. And again, I think it's one of those guys, Devon Sanchez. He might have his coming out part of tomorrow. We shall see. All right, guys, I'm going to close up shop here. Thanks to Jay Boat. Thanks to all of you. Guys have a great rest of your day, a great weekend. I hope you enjoy the game tomorrow. And don't forget to join us for what we learned live. Go Bucks. Five, four, five, five.
