5:22And great partner. So Nevada Let's talk about Ryan Day And his presser and two players today Earl Little Jr. who I told y'all when he was first interviewed Back in the spring I kind of was like oh yeah, I like that dude already Really cool, you know got the southern charm Just a dude and Nevada Carson Hensman Is definitely at the top of my list for uh for interviews By he's hilarious. I mean he is one of those Oh, hi, you know what I want to say Ohio state. Well, yeah I'll say Ohio state just just uh just full of energy funny Um, you know he can get nasty when he wants to get nasty He's just a likable dude. How do you not like Carson Hensman? He was great today in this interview Crackin jokes and stuff like that. I don't know if you caught his interview Nevada Carson No, I did and you know, it's funny when you go back go back in the way back machine

6:23When you know the helping technician was the only guy in the world going This guy's gotta be starting for I don't know why he's the ninth man on our offensive line Be like oh, I was in some socks and blah blah blah like could there be a more impressive guy than Carson Hensman I mean physically imposing articulate funny Experience I mean he's just he's everything he wanted a bucket and he was on our bench, dude He was buried so far on our bench. He couldn't even see it and now, you know He's a guy that's come on. He's you know, he's a team leader. He's a guy that's uh, you know Gonna be an all-american tree in the grove type of player and and um You know, I mean going to the NFL and going to NFL riches. So yeah, I couldn't be prouder of Carson Love him and the fact that they rolled him out, you know, this close to you know game week It just shows you you know where he stands in terms of the esteem with which he's held by the uh by the Ohio State staff and by Ryan Dan particular But what a great I mean that there ever is a great reclamation story

7:27It's Carson Hensman because people had written him off man Like he was done and now look at him now. And yeah, he he really shined today for sure Yeah, man. He's he's dope man. I really like this kid um He's a great representative representative of Ohio State and ambassador. I just like him I'm Oswald is going to play this clip now While he's on here I'll just say Austin said last week If he expects that it's really you Our mistakes, I mean Whoever they got there Josh was playing well also it's like Um, you know what all of us have some experience so So for those who didn't hear everything he was asked about Sarah Vell starting at right guard and he basically

8:31Dodge did making sure he didn't violate Giving away anything although it's we all know but it's not official yet Um, and uh so that was funny and then later on in the interview Nevada He uh kind of mess with I don't know who asked the question which beat person But somebody had a blue suit on maybe was a national person But he said something about their blue suit and uh and uh and uh and ignoring their question I mean it was funny. He was just good today, but But Nevada so let's kind of pivot into The starting the the final starters, you know from from what we're hearing from what we know Going into this Saturday and I'm gonna pull this up so I can see on scoop Yeah, I mean look you know you've got an offensive line that we've been talking about For a bit and it's funny, you know one of the things that was kind of a theme of the Ryan Day press conference today Are they he was talking about how much they're trying to kind of you see him kind of cracking down on information

9:32Like they're not going to be talking about the champions Um, they don't want to talk about who who won the iron buck out, you know They're like trying to keep information in and all the time while our information's never been better So it's a lot of the stuff you guys have heard before But you know um I hear to you that that's not by Ryan days design That's not that's they're they're trying to keep it in but yeah the offensive lines are gonna go in more Luke Montgomery Carson Hensman Austin Sireville and Philip Daniel um at right tackle and um You know it's funny watching Ryan Day Talk about that offensive line. I mean can he even contain his glee talk about the offensive lines of and and to think that people are talking about the office line being like a weak point for this team Like they're like oh the weak boys the offensive line, you know, it's like we're like not now that that is absolutely wrong That who's ever saying that who not listen to them because they don't know what they're talking about and you hear Ryan day to day And like if you could like came out there with like one of those uh

10:34Cakes he would have like handed to the office like he's so excited about the offensive line and what they can do But what what Arthur Smith can do what the those three guys are gonna do on the interior But yeah, that's the uh that's the foundation. They've got a lot of guys behind it. Obviously we talked about you know gay band sickle Josh pedilla You know Carter low Um, I'm sure I'm forgetting some guys That's not right. I mean but I mean like we just got dudes on pond dudes upon dudes in the offensive line and Probably the deepest offensive line room. I dare say that I've ever seen since I've been covering on ios state And that's that's a long time that is a long time But it's the deepest offense library you ever had Yeah, I think this is a good moment to play this clip um Nevada This is one of the quotes that I heard. I was like wow and I was chuckling because Well, first of all for two reasons. There's an inside joke me and my buddies have there's a picture um Years ago of Jermail Hines of Jermail Hines y'all remember Jermail Hines number seven

11:39He played a star position. He's from Glenville Uh really good defensive player and we it's the picture where we wanted to uh the sugar bow and the confetti was falling He was standing back in the picture like he just looked like full of glee. He was like I mean, he just looks so happy and so me and my buddies will always say man look at you with that Jermail Hines glee Talking about how happy we are about whatever. So that's one reason why I laugh But the other reason is because you're absolutely right like he's He you can tell how excited he is about this offensive line and listen to this freaking quote From um from Ryan Day and again Ryan Day if he's not feeling you like that He's certainly not going to praise you and he's not just going to say anything Just to say it So I'm going to play this clips y'all can hear what he says about the old line here we go pre-guys in particular are a good example of guys that you know had um You know had their ups and downs along the way, but now they're playing their best football and not only

12:43You know are they? You know seniors but but they've been in the program for multiple years so It's one thing to have somebody come in from a program that you know Another program sort of quote unquote raise them for two three four years. They've been with us They know what this place is they bleed scarlet and gray so That that is really significant. They know what they're walking into the season um And then just the overall football IQ of those three guys is really high Um Combine that with you know some of the things that Arthur's doing what Tyler's doing And those guys are walking on water right now. They are I mean you just you see them walk down the hallway You see the way that they're they're out of practice. They're highly energized. They're rocking off the ball. So that that's been fun to see um And you know you're seeing the best version of those guys and I think that that's that's where this offense is gonna start right there With those three guys on the inside and then obviously the Julian the backs the tackles and then kind of go

13:51Hold on. I'm you. I was muted. So he said walking on water That was a very very interesting quote when I heard that and you could clearly tell He loves the confidence He loves the confidence that this offensive line has remember y'all earlier in fall camp The quote there was a quote about how after the I believe the first crimson about a how confident the offensive line was after the Scrimmage walking off the field So yeah, man That that quote walking on water was hilarious and that's why I you see what I did in the thumbnail guys right Carson Hensman on top of the water See that anyway Nevada your thoughts on that quote bro. Well, just again the fact that it was a mainstream take on social media that the offensive line bros it was not good I mean that will that will never not be funny to me that that will never I mean like you sure some of these takes like Jeremiah Smith doesn't know how to run routes julian saying isn't very good

14:53The offensive line is like we're like where do you guys come up with this stuff? Like where do people even come up? I understand the idea of clickbait and sensationalism But holy guacamole come on guys But uh, yeah offensive line gonna be fun to watch gonna be fun to watch in this scheme and you can tell that uh You know he's just so excited to have Arthur Smith He's he's he's excited. This is this was great stuff Definitely absolutely man, so I don't know what else to say. I mean, you know of course we get Called the sunshine poppers if we're if we're positive, but listen, I mean we follow logic facts logic evidence We thought that's what we follow so there was no reason to believe Again, don't be a prisoner of the moment either way Yes, the offensive line did not play their best in the last two games against some very good fronts Okay, so two things can be true Very good fronts first round guys that they got beat against and then they still need to get better and play better

15:56So that's not an excuse you get better because of it, but you played some really good players So now you take that chip on your shoulder from that L you took into this season With all that experience In the beginning of that clip Ryan Day was talking about the interior of this line My gummery henzman and cereville is that is a powerful interior So I mean again these guys have been talking about how pissed they are since those last two games Then you got Arthur Smith with him being a offensive line run games of art It's just I don't know how you can't at the even if you're not excited How can you still be doomsday about the offensive line and not have any hope based off of all this it just doesn't make sense so Yeah, it is what it is, but the next position I that we're looking at as far as the starters Obviously Jeremiah Smith Brandon and his and Devon McEwan that's been the top three. We've kind of known that for the past few weeks

16:58But Chris Henry Jr Is it's going to be the four-fire receiver and it's going to have a pretty big road to Nevada What's your thoughts on the receivers? Well, you know, it was notable and some people should probably I mean Ryan Day described Devon McEwan is as good as anyone we've ever had it. Yes Wow Yeah, I mean You're as good as we've had here that yeah, that was his quote about Devon McEwan So I'm just saying Devon McEwan Just coming pretty good player, but again a very deep room and they talked about the depth of the room You know obviously with Chris Henry Jr. Obviously with Brock Boyd You know obviously with Philip Bell Oswood does Jones Then you go to you you're pretty gilford you've even got you know Dave Adolf I didn't mention Kyle Parker because Kyle Parker's been injured, but you know when he comes back I mean You're talking about my super runs good even I deep and they asked them

18:00What is it was it better recruiting was it better for all actors? Was it coach Hankton what did he go? Well, it's all those things. It's just all it's all of those things But this is the deepest room that he's ever had He's like a maybe years gone by we were a little to higher at the top But in terms of depth in terms of guys that can play deepest room. They've ever had so you've got a deep offense flying And you got the deepest my receiver ring That this all according to Ryan Day and like you like you said Ryan Day doesn't just throw that stuff around Ryan Day correct He's measured he says things that you didn't say much unless he really means it and um Yeah, I'm excited about those water receivers Yeah, man. I the key words is per Ryan Day Not fans not media Ryan Day So it's definitely saying something and I do Want y'all because uh with this quote about McEwen It was it he said some stuff leading up to that Nevada that I want the people to hear as well about McEwen

19:03Here we go, but also on the field and Then you're bringing someone like Devin McEwen Um Kyle's been out here for a little while so we're hopeful to get him back soon But you know Devin someone that's solidified himself pretty quickly as someone that that's it's gonna play a lot of football at starter level so um, you know that was important um And making sure we identified him and the portal is the right player and And so that that was big so when you go in the portal has to be the right fit Culturally but also on the field and I remember watching the film of him and uh He was getting it's a and m and he was just competing his tail off out there and and and then you saw him come in in the spring Do some good things, but then and this summer he's taken off with his body and just the ways practiced and I think a lot of the guys Would tell you you know that he's as good as we've had here Really excited about seeing him play. You know, then you that's a crazy quote Nevada. I mean That that's a crazy quote now It just to bring it full circle here in Nevada because remember Devin McEwen

20:05Is from UTSA which helped me out Nevada University of Texas San Antonio correct because you watched him Yeah, so you knew them and I'm saying this because Nevada and this is why I try to school fans on on just simple things like this Just Listen has this staff not earned your trust to at least give them the benefit of the doubt There were people who were just mocking do you remember this? I I know if Devin was here. He would remember this Devin McEwen from UTSA Like we're not getting camcomet. Huh? Like bro like these coaches are smart. They watch film They know who the dudes are like Now he has to go put it on the field but The evidence is pointing towards him being really good Ryan Day is not going to say he's as good as anyone who's been here Like did y'all hear what this man just said Nevada. I'm still processing that I'm still processing that but remember

21:06Remember back after coaches clinic I told y'all I talked to Cortez Hankton and Devin Jordan and they both told me Mainly a Devon and Cortez agreed That they see him as a fur a future first round pick and he was a pro. They looked at him as a pro Now even though I didn't downplay him when he came in like he couldn't be good I still didn't put that much on him Okay, I didn't expect to hear that I expected him to come in with some speed mix it up a little bit you know Get some snaps and help the team out But this dude It sounded like he's gonna do a lot for this team this year based off of this Nevada So I had to really get that in because that that's just I don't think people understand how big that is But anything else on that before we move on No, just I mean What a again, what a fun interview today with Ryan And This is this is the most relaxed that I've ever seen Ryan day

22:08I'm telling you like you think she's got something special here in 20 points that he likes this team a lot Yep, and that was that was evident in the press conference that it for sure Yep, definitely and so moving on to the tight ends I had a question for you about this because obviously Nate Roberts the highly recruited tight end who lined up at full back a lot last year as a true freshman He's going to be the guy But Mason Williams and Bennett Christian are both going to play a ton too But here's my question Nevada. What's up with Hunter Wellsey from Northwestern I thought he looked good in practice when I saw him he caught the ball nicely. He looked physical I haven't been seeing his name Well, he was slowed by an injury you know he had he had He had slowed by kind of a nagging injury and I think these three just separated I don't think it means that he's you know fallen off or fallen by the way side I mean you're cast Merrick had kind of a similar trajectory in Ohio State You know kind of slowed by a thing and so I don't write him off just yet, but yeah

23:12He's a guy that's just he just got to get 100% healthy and I think he can do some interesting things for us because they're gonna use you know if they use those two tight-end sets You know you roll out one group no roll out another group now you're down to tight end number four automata So I think we'll see him for sure Okay, yeah, I was very curious. I did not know that Okay, and then of course running back bow jacks, you know, I think I really like I really like our depth In this running back room Nevada bow jacks in Isaiah West who had a phenomenal all season Jacobi Jackson from Florida who definitely looked good. He looked really good in practice He looks physically the part Um, and then of course legend Bay is funny as we talk about the running backs Who was it was it Carson? Yeah, it was Carson So Carson Hensman was asked about the running backs and he uh the first thing he mentioned was legend Bay The first not thing but person he mentioned was legend Bay Okay, I thought that was interesting. I could be overreacting, but that was interesting

24:15And then he went on to bow Isaiah in the rest But he also said something Nevada that I thought was interesting. You tell me if this is a something Um, or if this is a confirmation So he said um, okay, he also said he'll play a key role He kind of said it in passing Nevada talking about legend Bay and he'll play a key role So what do you think about that little comment? Because I guess you could interpret what key role means, but a starting offensive lineman saying a true freshman is going to play a key role What's your thoughts on that? Well, I think legend Bay is a scoreboard changer. I think he's a guy that Everybody on the team knows and everybody on the fans are gonna know off this week too Because when he gets to the ball, he's just different. He just moves at a different speed And you guys are all gonna see that um, this weekend whenever he gets you know, whenever he touches the ball So I just think he's so electric that they want to do some things But they want because he's a special player

25:17He's you know, you can't have enough scoreboard changers and I don't you know, I if you think look in recent years I don't think we had guys like that not a lot, you know, saying not a lot I mean, even as athletic and as fast as many first round picks are They have those guys that just just let it up and go anytime Well, you know, legends that guy and and this is the team of gamebreakers and you know That came through today and the press conference for other than they've been talking about how much they've been working on that about Getting through the initial line and then breaking the big run and you got guys that can do it You get you know, and they go five deep in the talk then all the way down to turbo So they've got guys that can break through you're gonna see a a market difference in bow jacks and as well Um, in that regard, obviously Isaiah West So no, I think I think this is an exciting running back group, but Let legends just he's a wild card man. He's a wild card because Yeah, he's so young Um, he doesn't know exactly what he's doing out there, but when he gets the ball in his hands

26:19Man, just hold your breath because he may he may take it. So um, I can't wait for people to see him because people You know the the guys the players are raving about him. I can't wait for the fantasy, but they're gonna They're gonna really love this guy Yeah, Nevada. That's another one all the way back to spring Where you got the running back coach talking about it's like art when he runs I mean Freakin Ryan Day said he was a poor man's Tyree kill which some people were offended by that, but you know what he means That's it. I mean, it's just You you try not to get too hyped up But again with a track record from a coach Who doesn't just hype guys up if they don't deserve it? hyping guys up How can you not Be optimistic or a little bit excited and so yeah, man, it's just it's gonna be it's gonna be great No, when you say poor man's Tyree kill you mean you're talking about you're talking about your guy

27:23Dejon love Hey chat does anybody know who Dejon love is how could you not is everybody's algorithm not absolutely being just destroyed And with Dejon love he's the fake You need to go you need to go to the uh the tailgate since we can care like I helmet around Oh, man listen Seriously for Halloween you gotta be Dejon love you've got to be Dejon love the only problem is it everybody else is gonna be Dejon love And then you're gonna be with me you're gonna be with me I'll be in Cali so I can't take a 49ers helmet on the plane can I But We might be able to make something happen I'm sure anybody has a good costume stores on in a pinch. It's lost Dejon love yeah, I think there's gonna be a lot of Dejon love

28:26Oh, man, yeah, that that is that story is amazing. It shows how crazy people are How gullible people are Amazing stuff. So thank you for mentioning him because yeah, that's just Good lord. So what what were we even talking about oh yeah legend bay Legend bay, but we're moving to the quarterbacks now. We got the quarterbacks because a lot you know look Julian saying is just better You know Ryan Day said a best he said he's just better than every year They wanted to pin him down to like one area was is it decision-making is it processing is it leadership is an arms Strength is a Movement what and he goes you know just just better in every single area right and Yeah, he's got his quarterback and Ryan Dayson is back when he's got his quarterback You know the story about the backups. I don't know a lot of people want to go to the backups the backup situations It's I mean Luke and Taveen are kind of dead even and they're gonna both play

29:26And they'll both give a chance if you ask me for my money right now I think it's Luke but not by much and certainly not by any amount that could be Instra-National or anything like that, but um, you know as you care about backup You know quarterbacks. I'd say you know luke and Taveen batman out But uh Julian just better than every area and um a guy that I I think is gonna win the Heisman but Mark that we then we can save that for another conversation later Now we definitely can we end we will But I'll just quickly I won't go into too long of a rant But I keep seeing the disrespect for Julian saying there was another list that came out today I was just like come on and then other uh the the do-who substitutes for cowherd Kind of you know taking a duke on Julian saying listen man last year was last year Okay, he did not end the season on the highest note But he wasn't terrible either Okay, he was very good overall

30:29He was a first-year starter y'all He's going to get better. We believe he's already better all reports from the top down Say he's better. Why wouldn't he be? So just you'll see for you Julian haters you Julian um, you know Non-believers he is going to prove you wrong the baby face assassin Is going to prove you wrong So there's that we'll move on back to the scoop post where we talk about the defensive line Okay, so the starters we got is kenyaa Jackson James Smith, Edrick Euston and Boaketson. I love this honestly I really like the potential of this defensive line about a like the Some of the guys we just need to see But what we've been hearing and then of course guys like walker from ucf Who has who was slow as far as us hearing a lot of buzz at first

31:31But ever since he started getting that buzz it has not stopped and then of course will smith jr the legacy I mean we got some some guys and I keep hearing Jason more I know he has not stepped up yet But tyrone alone was kind of written off to and he contributed he actually was was solid I want more Just to be solid if we can be solid all the way down to that in the depth chart Man, this defensive line can be really really scary and nasty towards the end of the season With guys like kari wilder and epi and you know and zion grady and stuff and things like that But lastly before past the mic I really want to see bow acenson take it to another level He came here from north kirlana. He was good at north kirlana And mason plays he was probably the best Defender on the team or on the on the on their line, I would say But last year he wasn't that great But now he should be starting and so navada I really want to see bow acenson step up and be that physical presence on the other side of kinyata

32:36Well, you know, I think what we have is I think we have high end on the defensive line on the outside Um, you know in kinyata and bow and zion and kwayr saw and um In in in kari wilder. I think I think we've got a lot of Solid guys on the inside, you know, I don't know. We don't have a kaden mcdonald on the inside You know, I'm saying like that. We don't have a tyle like Williams But I think we got four guys that are really good. You know saying I think I think we got four guys that can really play And on the interior line You can be okay with just guys you know having four guys that can really play on the inside It's I'm not saying it's preferable to have that big dog But you mean you can you can win a lot of games with more guys that can play on the inside and but um I think that's the story of our defense lineman They're gonna rotate them liberally I think a lot of it's gonna be down in distance You know, they're gonna try to run some a lot of those five man fronts

33:37They like what they get in those five man fronts. They get those man-to-man battles up there Um on the blocking and if they can move a guy like epi you know puts them in the nose and move epi into that tackle spot on a pass rush They love doing that stuff. So look for some five man rush look for you know looks in some of that bear front and um I the defense line If you ask me what is the most intriguing like what area I'm gonna be focusing on the most when I'm watching on saturday It's gonna be defensive line. I think that's the the spot that I have the most questions about In my mind in terms of who's gonna uh, but I think we have a lot of answers. I think we I agree with you on Walker I think john walker is gonna be an absolute load um But I you know I guess I've got a lot of questions um looking forward to seeing the answer starting now starting on this saturday Now you mentioned the linebackers. That's my number one question mark uh for me linebackers and so it was revealed today

34:38That all the back and forth that me dev and Nevada have been doing with who's gonna be that second guy We've been going back and forth between a legros and uh petty john and so it was revealed today It will be Peyton Pierce and Krista and Allegro starting But Ryan date emphasized that Riley and t jay offer were gonna be in there quickly and they're gonna play a lot Um he mentioned stover They're gonna try to rotate guys So hopefully we get get out to a early lead knocked them out and and and just roll guys But it's gonna be interesting. I mean, I'm not surprised Nevada I mean we we kept going back and forth. It was hair thin between Allegro and Riley petty john And you know, Allegro's a really good linebacker from Wisconsin. He has more experience I'm not surprised by this but petty john I think has the higher ceiling So it's a battle But I can't wait to see this linebacker room because that's my number one concern Then when I say concern, I'm saying it lightly. I'm optimistic. They can be really good

35:42But we haven't seen these guys play Um, and then we just lost two two werewolves So anyway Nevada which adults Allegro be a name the starter Um that if you remember that's who I had I had a like grown piercest my two and um, I just think that in christians just He's got so much experience You know, I mean the one thing we're gonna get Riley is that he just hasn't played a lot of football Christians played played a lot of football for Wisconsin And played a lot of football for us played a lot of football for Wisconsin and and played a lot of big games And so but do I think Riley and all for to get a chance to play absolute absolute freaking mootly they're going to they're gonna rotate those guys They want to see what they can do I think situationally Um, and I think you're gonna see a lot of three linebacker look too So when you see that three linebacker look that third linebacker's gonna be Riley pedigms So it's gonna go Riley Peyton and Christian Allegro out there. So you know, they're gonna be doing a lot of interesting things with those guys Very interesting group, but I'm I'm pretty bullish on the linebackers like that. I am I I

36:46Learn I just likes this group a lot and I just trust his assessment When it comes to linebackers that kind of there's a little bit about linebacked play and he's very very bullish on this group So that that makes me very bullish Yep, that definitely when I'm going back and forth in my mind those things Help me for sure So yep, I just want to see it. I just want to see it. I want to see Peyton Pierce go out there and be the leader You know on the field that because we know he's a leader off the field I want to see him step up and get his Matt Wilhelm on you know get his uh um Bobby Carverter AJ Hawke on or whatever like Be that be that dude you to green dot. I want to see it and so I'm excited for it for sure So, uh, let's see we got the the corners devon santa chas and jimay math used pretty obviously the two starters dominant kelly We've been saying that for a while is the third third corner most likely and then uh the nickel

37:49I mean the j tenman's praise has just been continual from the players to the coaches Earl little junior talked about him today. I mean I haven't seen honestly I know he's the position he plays is not as glamorous as like why receiver But man the praise he's getting continuously Nevada has just been something I haven't seen So yeah, this secondary is a very intriguing Intriguing room and of course Earl little and jayla McLean will make up the safes with Terry more playing a lot And we told you about the big nickel roll simian call where we'll be playing As well. So that's the secondary. What's your thoughts? Mainly about devon santa's okay, so can he step up and be who we need him to be this year Well, he can but I think dominant kelly's given a run for his money I think dominant kelly is a guy that's really really pushing that that competition right there I think it's raged your close

38:51Those two guys really really good players dominant kelly when he came in was a guy that you know Georgia hated to lose and Very very excited to see him out there in the field, but no, we got you know Jay timman's came in and coming in the way that he did kind of move this room from You know depth to depth, you know, you know, I mean like we had good solid depth But then when Jay Tim's comes in shows you can play now you've got mega depth. So Yeah, I like our defensive secondary Earl little junior such an impressive young man love the fact that they're rolling him out there to Meet the process week again another line of you know, how much esteem they hold him in and Yeah, he's gonna be a terrific terrific player. I can't wait to see him flying Definitely agree and so it rounds out with our specialist Joe McGuire back at punner who Had sort of a slow start last year. I remember at the Texas game. I was just like man come on We got to do better than this, but he did show him

39:51Excuse me improvement And then the Connor Hawkins the big leg kicker from Baylor and then Daughton rigs the long snapper who was I think was on somebody's all American team might have been feel still So they're the ones who make up the special teams unit under robby disher I'm very excited to see what this unit can do not just kicking and snapping but returning What is he going to do is he going to have any pool with Ryan Day to be able to get our fast shifty guys at legend bay out there to get some attempts I think it's going to happen against ball state late in the game. I told you I'm my bow prediction Legend Bay will return a putt return for a TD All right, so Nevada as we round out that we should thoughts on the special special teams unit Well, I'm actually more bullish on McGuire as a punner than a lot of people are in you know He's been really good, you know throughout the spring throughout the fall and you remember the Texas came He kind of got screwed because he had a bombed one like a 65 year. Yeah, and it got called back for like a

40:56Formation or so silly miss like that, you know, I'm saying and um You know and then he came back named kicks actually like 40 or 41 But like you know, he's got the big leg. He's been turned in him over this year Obviously you talk to the big legs. You talk about Connor Hawkins. You know, he's terrific I think the return game is going to be fun to watch I think Disha is going to make the return game fun to watch When you've got guys like Brandon in issue can be that the pendible catcher or jg smith But then a guy like legend bayman they want to get the ball in his hands Yeah, it returns is one way to do it and I that that would not surprise me at all does he let you be back to turning kickoffs Yeah, that's the hope man. That is the hope so um before we get to Superchats and and highlighting something before superchats I wanted to quickly touch on Maurice Claret Jim Tressel as you know Jim Tressel is being honored this Saturday Um in the stadium. They're adding his name You know up there next to Woody Hay. I believe this takes to Woody Hayes

42:00But you know a very well-deserved honor obviously and so they asked Maurice Claret His fellow youngstown boy if for those who have not seen a 30 for 30 it's called youngstown boys It's actually pretty good Yes, PN, but anyway, he's going to be the one to ring the bell, okay ring the bell so This story to me and Nevada and we're going to briefly talk about it It's very interesting because Maurice Claret certainly has a story. I mean you could do more than a 30 for 30 on his life Someone could really do a movie on his life So The question is how does everyone feel about Maurice Claret Being the one who was ringing the bell have you Because there's some people who still fill away about Maurice Claret Back when he was attacking the program attacking you know basically just Saying all types of stuff that wasn't true and just he was just what he was a crash

43:04Before the term crashed out came to be okay. That was the prior Maurice Claret Okay, that was him back then He has changed repented so to speak apologize He has uh turn his life around So where now he's a advocate to the youth to say hey don't do what I did You know he's with the team now him and Ryan Day because he was attacking Ryan Day and the team at one point But he revealed that he was kind of just you know just he loves the program and he was acting out Long story short him and Ryan Day met they brought him in they've been Thickest thieves tight since then and so he's a fixture in the program right now So for those who don't know about Mo Clizzy is our nickname for Maurice Claret He has a story he went from from one end of the spectrum to the other So he's a positive person in the community now, but he got a story so anyway with that said Nevada

44:04Your thoughts because we love Tressel and his antics really you know Did not help Tressel and and really attacked him in some ways and so what's your thoughts on Maurice Claret Ring in a bell and just in general Well, I mean like it wasn't just Tressel that he if I mean he got Andy guide your fired Yeah, he he anybody who lived through that time remembers just the the the terror of Every day with another article coming out and and and 99% it was lied lies perpetuated by Maurice Claret Yeah, you know to so it's my dislike for Claret Has nothing to do with any of his Things with the law or on robbery or Any of that's up because he paid his dues to society through the judicial system And once I feel like once you pay your dues through the judicial system that That's it, you know, I'm saying so I'm not even I'm not talking about any of that stuff

45:07But the damage he did don't have state Like I'm just I gotta be I'm not there yet. I'm not there yet. I'm not Um, it's not that I'm not ready to forgive or they say how is Tressel? Tressel forgives everybody Tressel is a saint Tressel forgives everybody Um, he's a saint I'm not as good a person as Tressel And I just not sure having Claret You know when when Tressel's going into the ring of honor Having Claret do it to me is is I don't know it's just kind it's kind of a mockery of all that time that we all went through We all went through collectively Going through that time and it was so unnecessary because it was all a lie It all it's soiled the Ohio State, you know, name and reputation Um, and it was just and it was just it put a lot of good people through a lot of anguish Um, when it was should have been it was coming off a year where we don't want the national champion the most spectacular fact and I gents against my enemy should have been at the best time and said it was the worst

46:10And I'm just not sure if I'm there yet. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I'm ready to like just put all them in the Ohio State Ruts suit and have them run it up down the sidelines and ring in the victory bell and ever say wow there's I mean, I just I'm looking at it and I'm like aren't there better guys you could have picked, you know You know what I'm saying? There's some great guys off of that championship team that you could have picked And could we picked any of them? But I think I think what it is with people I think people are either eager to forgive Claret Because we won a national championship with them Whereas Troll prior we didn't win a national championship and Troll prior the guy that threw himself on the grenade shut his mouth Took the punishment never threw a house later under the bus to these the one who still banned for the campus till today And resquetch ringing the victory bell That will never make sense to me that will never ever ever make sense to me Yeah, I hear you man. I definitely hear you understand. I remember

47:14Those were some tough days man, and I got the article pulled up Right now for those who don't know who are younger and don't know So you know Claret I mean listen he's he was the troubled youth from youngstown He tells his story. I mean he was he was down bad. He made some very poor decisions. He had some very bad people around him And so he got off into some stuff the police Arrested him. He had all types of loaded weapons in his car and I mean I'm giving y'all the spectrum because now again He goes around the country talking to the youth saying don't do it. I did So there's two different stories here the beginning and then now where we are now But out for those who don't know I'm telling you You know the kind of the origin story and I remember him about it. It was definitely Bad and he was definitely just running his mouth trying to take down the program And so it also he did say a lot of stuff that was not true, but he came and recanted that

48:17So you team up north fans for example Try to pull out the the quotes from Claret accusing you know I don't know if it was trestle specifically, but the program of Inducents, but he came back out and said there wasn't any coach or any booster or any member in our rental house They who helps you get a car Claret said recalling his own time on campus. It doesn't go on It's just guys doing what they want to people will forever do what they want to It's nothing more than young guys making mistakes So for you team up north fans who want to try to use his quotes before this accusing which was not true never proven no evidence He he came out and recanted these and said listen, I was hurt. I was just Claret was like he was trying to take everything everything now He didn't care back then But he did come back out you see the quotes basically saying yeah, I was not being truthful Um, it was not like that. So if you're going to believe the quotes before

49:18Because it meris claret said it you need to believe these two you can't have it both ways and he came out and said yeah I was tripping and that stuff. I was saying was not true or accurate He went on the damn Patrick show and said it so with that said I get it I know Nevada understand what you're coming from Terrell prior definitely need definitely needs to be invited back period Absolutely, I want thousand percent agree with that meet personally Um, I've kind of I've forgiven Claret. I'm kind of over it as far as that because it was so long ago and he his life has changed the trajectory And he's doing a lot of positive things Ryan Day welcome to him in I'm done with it But yes, I'm that I will never forget the impact back when it happened. It was rough man It was rough if there's ever been a prodigal son if y'all read the bible Claret was that and so Yeah, that's all I say about that, but again TP needs to be we need to start the TP back to Ohio State campaign Nevada

50:23Well, that's yeah, that's just I mean he's part of our You know, legacy and he's part of the Ohio State story and a big part of it You know, I I can't remember a bigger recruit and bigger recruiting story ever than Terrell prior Yeah, and you know, he's a guy that came and and like I said, you know He was presented with the exact same choice that Preridat throw the program under the thing get all the headlines get all stuff Prior to do it man. He just shut his mouth and just took it took the ban Took the got banned from the thing from the supplemental drier everything and he never ever bad mouth the house Hey, and it's like Man, I mean I have mad respect for the guy for that you know So you know, hey, it's uh, everybody's entitled. They're a different opinion But like I said, I just think prior not being part of this thing is I think it's kind of sad to be honest Yeah, well, hopefully it'll I think the sentiment is out there man. I got a feeling he'll be invited back

51:26I really do I think Bjork and Ryan Day is gonna make it happen. I just do so good point about TP But uh, but yeah, so Clareette will be ringing the bell Um, and he's a part of the program now. So that's that's not gonna change him and Ryan day have a good relationship He has a relationship with the team I'm sure he'll continue to do positive things and so What we'll see at the end of the day though. It's about Tresil on Saturday, you know outside of the football game Tresil being honored what an honor he deserves it love me some Jim Tresil and so Nevada Let's talk about before we get to the superchats Um our other great partner we have that I'm I'm starting to really get in tune with lab I'm starting to learn about this man and I'm make I'm kind of excited about this because Is it's it's different and it's koushi Nevada kick it off.

54:35I really like that man. So good stuff good stuff All right, let's get to the super chats And uh, I see the chat was buzzing about the clear rest stuff it that's a that's a lightning rod topic man But it's a part of our history It just is so you know very interesting can't curry 6 and 113 fourth b-moses Nevada buck that's a that's a very strange height Right there, but the the mythical height of b-moses grows every day Nevada Yes, 6 and 11 b-moses is pretty crazy.

We would greatly appreciate it Mr. Ian Bates Texas State plays an air raid style offense Sarc said Texas has been preparing all summer Then two and and half to play a pro style offense thoughts on musk champ lot of hype Nevada any response to this one Well, it's funny because you know Arthur Smith has been studying a lot of musk champ stuff and you know specifically that That Georgia game, you know the 2022 Georgia game because you know remember back then The DC was musk champ. Yeah, and that was a game that you know Ryan. They had a lot of success Rand about the the the the problem that day was not the offense. It was the defense and the refs but other than that Had a great game plan doing a lot of good things with it and I just like any any Competition with your map of trisha and real musk champ. I just feel like Ohio State's grad a

56:38Descredits schematic advantage, so I'm I'm pleased with that Yeah, it's gonna be fun, man. That that's gonna be fun R2 NFL coordinators against musk champ Sarc and his coordinator Yeah, I'm excited about that that chess match for sure All right, King Curry once again, Maurice has paid his debt leave him alone Yeah, I mean hey, that's that's how you feel listen, I think With the with the leave him alone Yeah, I think I don't know There's some people who are a little more adamant about their dislike from from Maurice um and attack him and still like that, but you know it's a difference between an opinion and say hey, man I'm not this this rocked me back in in the day. I don't know if I'm fully healed from this So there's a difference between that and you know some people who are kind of go too far But yes, I am glad. I'll say this Regardless of how he may feel about what he did back in the day years ago

57:40I am glad that he's still not on that same path Because that was not a good path But now at least he's making a positive influence on the community It doesn't change what he did But at least he's on a better path than about him Well, yeah, no and look I think he did I think he paid his debt to society, but I don't you know the what he did Don't have a state did he pay his debt for that? I don't think so, but that's just me and you know I I'm ready for I think it's great that Marisa's got his life together and he's doing this tonight But do I need him to be the poster boy for a house state? No, I just don't and I think the poster boy for a house state Is a guy that you have in the sideline a guy you have ringing the victory bell a guy you have doing you know I'm saying I just I don't think he's that guy. I don't think he's I don't think that's where he's at I think he's a guy that's I'm hey, but again No right or wrong answer, but this is just an opinion

58:42So I'm just not there yet man, but those those wounded and and and and and and and and full disclosure I was pretty close to Andy Geiger and Andy Geiger was a great man And he got taken down by this and it was so unfair Because Andy Geiger was the best that injector we've ever had Responsible for so many good things that I say and he just he lost his job because of this guy And nobody ever talked about Andy Geiger there. I was gonna just like you know just he was just expendable nuts to me That's sad Andy Andy's Andy was tremendous Yeah, I'm wonder real quick. What did do you know what he's at now? What what is he doing? Retired he's just retired. Okay, so he's not in a in a you know professional career and I like that. Okay Yeah, now I feel you and that makes sense you know you were friends with him I mean that's that makes you even more intense. I get it man. I definitely get it And you know your your feelings are are valid and there's other people who feel the same as you feel but again

59:43regardless Last thing I'll say is that I'm glad he is who he is now and not then because he'll tell you The the mow cleasy back then Was not a great dude. He'll tell you that and so Sad but yeah, at least he's on a positive path right now But again Tressel being honored is the focused off the field as far as the game Tressel being honored. I think we all can agree That that is well deserved and I'm very very happy that Tressel was still and the one last thing about it I love how Tressel always says we you noticed that when he's talking about a house date We got this guy we got this so we lost this. I mean, I love it Nevada But Tressel is one of my favorite people in the whole world and I don't think people have an idea one one hundred Of the good things that guy does if they do that then you'd be like like they want to they run it for Pope But he's such a good man and so you know

1:00:46Ironic that he got caught up in a scandal because such a good man such a positive influence on So many young people, but I love me some Jim Tressel Yep, and then last thing before we get out of here Shout out to Justin Spiro. What's up brother? We still got to get you back on even with the season started We got to we got to get you back on at some point But he had a post today go check his Twitter on x Nevada. I don't know if you saw he tacked he might attack both of us He tagged me but it was a he was talking about Mike heart and You know basically saying He wasn't going to Say Ohio State were cheaters for the tattoo gate stuff because it didn't affect the game on the field All the other stuff he was basically saying kudos in my heart for being one out of the 12 that were interviewed that did not Attack Tressel in Ohio State for cheating. It's it's it's a good article go check his ex out Great job shout out to Justin Spiro. I don't know if you saw that Nevada. I Didn't see it, but um good article and in Justin Spiro go or synonymous.
