Like I, I, I didn't ask about it cause I feel like I, maybe I'll ask Ryan day about it, but, um,

I think if you're looking for ways that Arthur Smith is going to put his mark on this offense a little bit, I think Ohio State's probably going to end up playing under center more this year than they have in the past.

17% or something like that.

Probably.

And also, especially last year when they were kind of hammering away at the goal line sometimes with a couple plays.

So that can certainly contribute to this percentage being higher.

It was 16.4% last year.

The previous high had been 13.9% in 2022.

Okay.

It changes the angles in the run game, which I think is a pretty important thing here.

Ryan Day did an interview with – who's the – I always forget his name.

Greg McIlroy.

ESPN.

Yeah, thank you.

They were talking a little bit about Arthur Smith in the run game, and Ryan Day kind of brought up the angles in the run game and how critical they are to sort of getting guys to the second level, which is –

pretty consistent issue for ohio state last year not being able to do that so i think when you go under center it does change the angles runs hit faster and play action is far more effective so i think if if i am correct in my theory that ohio state is going to be under center a little more i think there's still be still will be primarily shotgun but if they are under center more the effect i think will be felt in some of the different ways the runs hit and and maybe how much play action pass ohio state chooses to run off of that

So he said it was when he introduced himself to the offense.

I think, right, not the whole team, I think just the offense.

When the offense got together for the first time with Arthur Smith as the offensive coordinator, he showed them, I think Carson said it was about a 15-minute video cut up of, I'm assuming Arthur Smith's previous offenses in the NFL, not just offenses in general, pushing people around, putting defenses in the dirt, playing a physical brand of football.

And then Arthur Smith told the offense, we're going to play this way.
