00:00The end to that Ohio State-Oregon game is all that's being talked about, and probably
00:08fair enough for good reason. First, of course, with Oregon putting 12 men on the field, I
00:13mean, the competition committee is going to have to look at this, because every other
00:15team is going to try and do shenanigans like this at the end of the game. And then, boy,
00:21you know, I don't know what to say about the end of the game as well, just not having awareness
00:25there with the amount of time that was left there on the clock. But let's give credit
00:28to Oregon for winning, but also understanding that, I don't know if Ohio State's kicker
00:34is any good, Bill, you'd have to tell me, but they probably would have had a shot for
00:37a 50-yard field goal to win the game. A couple things here, and I think the perception is
00:42they're going to run it back in December. You can see that in the betting odds reflected
00:46that Oregon and Ohio State are basically co-favored to win the Big Ten now. It was a great win
00:50for Oregon, but they lead 10 points on the board, in my opinion. Missed extra points.
00:55Botched nap. You know, went for two and didn't get it. Had a player get ejected for spitting
01:00on another player. It was absurd. And then on Ohio State's side, you mentioned, you know,
01:05I've lived in Columbus my whole life. I know how it goes when they lose a game. We look
01:09at, we treat it like the Zapruder film. Was there a second left? Was this, this could
01:13have happened? They mismanaged it. I think it comes down to, Will Howard will learn from
01:17it. They need to trust their kicker in late game situations. You saw that with Georgia
01:21a couple of years ago, and both teams will learn from it. But I do feel like they'll
01:25play again in December. Oregon, for sure. Ohio State's path is a little more complicated
01:30because they got to go through Penn State on the road.
