00:00 I watched every play of that game and I come away pretty darn concerned for Ohio state.
00:08 I did not see if you're just thinking about it from a quarterback perspective, I did not
00:15 see either of these guys, you know, whether it's Kyle McCord who started the game, Devin
00:21 Brown, like either of these guys show anything that would suggest like, Oh yeah, he's the
00:27 guy.
00:29 That's the last thing you wanted.
00:31 If you're an Ohio state fan, the last thing you wanted, the offensive line did not play
00:35 well.
00:36 The run game was, I didn't think very good.
00:40 Ohio state is not great at zone blocking.
00:48 They ran a couple of other, they tried to power.
00:51 They ran a little GT play early in the game that popped for a big run.
00:55 Didn't see him come back to that, which I was interested.
00:59 I kept waiting for them to get back to that concept and it didn't happen.
01:03 I don't know exactly who are, who's calling the place.
01:07 Obviously in previous years it was, it was Ryan.
01:09 They've been vague about that.
01:11 Obviously with the new coordinator switch with Brian Hartline, I'm sure that they're
01:15 trying to have more of a collaborative effort now, but I will just say like, I just didn't
01:21 think that the offensive line played all that well.
01:23 There was pressure on, on McCord at times when, when he wanted to release a deep shot
01:30 and he couldn't get to it.
01:33 It was not a great performance offensively from Ohio state.
01:37 There is a lot to fix there.
01:42 So if you're a Buckeye fan, it's going to be real easy to just be like, Oh, quarterback
01:51 wasn't just the quarterback.
01:53 Okay.
01:54 They, the Ohio state offensive line has to play better than what they played on Saturday.
02:02 It was not a very good performance against a team that they were much better than not
02:07 to take anything away from Indiana, but a team that they were much better than QB is,
02:12 is a reps position.
02:14 So the longer that this controversy, this two man system, the longer that this kind
02:19 of goes along, then that's, that's reps out of the back pocket of whoever has to go play
02:26 against Notre Dame or Penn state or Michigan.
02:28 And they need every rep that they can possibly get.
