And at Ohio State, it's insane. you know, okay, let's go to break. We'll be back after this. And then it's ladies and gentlemen, if you can pay attention to the North end, the 1973 fencing team. Let's all have a, let's get on our feet and show them some appreciation for the 1973 co big 10 champs. And it's like,
It always tricks me. Yeah.
yeah i agree i agree it's like if you go to an nhl game i i you know i'll go to these nhl games i'm so blown away by the game ops and what they do because it's it's a different 1997 to now like your job to keep people off their phone and engaged in what's happening that's a challenge man it's just a different world that we live in a lot of people's attention span isn't the same and it's easy to like get to a
TV timeout, take a seat, look on your phone, check out what's going on. And all of a sudden it's like, oh, the game's back on. And they try to take that away by keeping you engaged. And I really – when I see it and I see fans engaged during breaks, I just – I pay homage to that, man. Because it's not an easy thing to do in 2024.
Let's start Friday night. I think Riley Leonard, I don't know if I trust him yet. I don't know how many times he's really been challenged. Right. So I don't know. It's not that I don't trust him. It's just we don't know. Right. And can Indiana put him in a place where they get him in those third-down situations where he's got to make plays with his arm, not just his legs, with his arm?
I'm excited to see that. And Rourke, I've been blown away by that kid. Their whole story – I was early, kind of like, it's Indiana. It's a cute story. And then I just kind of kept watching him and thought, and I stood next to Rourke in the Ohio State game. I was like, damn, that's an impressive looking dude. This guy's, I don't know what he's listed. He looks like he's 6'5 to me.
Big, impressive guy. And I just think that kid is, plays with a serious amount of confidence for a guy that's in his first year. I think of all of them, that might be a guy that stands out to me. I don't know how much you've watched Tennessee, but Tennessee with Josh Heupel, we go back to Hendon Hooker or Milton. What do you think of?
You think of 50-yard bombs, just taking shots in that offense because that's who they've been. This year, total opposite Tennessee team. They play to their strengths. Let's play defense. Let's run our all SEC running back, Dylan Sampson. And let's take care of the quarterback. Let's spoon feed him, ease him in, not make him feel like he has to win it. where our quarterbacks in the past did.
So it's been a very different style of approach as a head coach. Is that good enough to win in this environment? I think he'll call his game – based on how his defense is playing against Will Howard and Ohio State. If they're forcing Ohio State to punt, he's going to play the way he has most of this year. Very conservative, hand it off, throw when you have to kind of approach.
If Ohio State's scoring, then you'll see Nico, who's more than capable. You know his recruiting story. Yeah. Yeah, he's a freak, but he's a freshman. So they've just been very, very careful with him. So I would say Will Howard. I know he's made some mistakes. He's cost his team in some big games. I just think because of the experience, I think there's a little bit more trust there.
But do you trust the offensive line? I don't think you can because of the injuries. Um, the Clemson Texas game again, man, it's, it's just been this.
Kevin Jennings at SMU. Yeah. He's a kid that, again, I don't know how many people listening to this or watching this that watched SMU football this year. But they started with Preston Stone, who's a little bit more traditional. And now they've got a version of a dual threat guy that they spread you out. You got to try to cover everybody. And then this guy's back there running around.
and has the ability to take off and run, has the ability to keep it alive and throw. He would be an interesting matchup for the Penn State defense. My big concern for SMU in that game is, like you would think, the line of scrimmage on both sides. I mean, Penn State, I thought, pushed Oregon around pretty well in the Big Ten championship game at the line of scrimmage. So how will SMU do it?
And I looked this morning at the forecast. All three games in Columbus, South Bend, and State College, no snow. But you're talking about in the 20s, 20 degrees. Not that it favors – and a lot of people are like, that favors Ohio State and Notre Dame and – I guess we'll see if it does. A lot of Ohio State's rosters from Georgia, North Carolina, Florida.
So I don't know how it necessarily favors these teams in the North. I guess I guess we'll see. It's been a big, big conversation point. You know, when the playoff first started, it's like teams from the north are like, it's about time those teams from the south come up here and deal with the cold weather.
Well, now you get your chance, you know, in two of those games and we'll see if it becomes a factor or not. But Ben, that's a great question on who do you use? Yeah. Because I don't know if it's just been too inconsistent with most of these guys all year to really know who is that guy you can trust.
I know they're playing. How about that? Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. Have they talked publicly since that game about what's going on?
Man, again, go back to that eight overtime Friday night game with Georgia and Georgia Tech and think about what happened to Georgia's defense. I know it's a different set of circumstances, but Georgia Tech ran a lot of zone read and power read and gave the quarterback an opportunity to utilize his legs or his arm, depending on how the defense of Georgia reacted.
And they had so much success in that game that the next game was going to be against Texas. And I just thought that Sark, much like he did against Texas A&M, he would just have a little package in the red zone or short yardage. to go to Arch and, as you say, pull that lever.
I thought fresh off that Georgia Tech game, he saw something he might be able to attack using Arch's ability to attack the edges, but he didn't do it. And it doesn't mean he's putting Arch away. I just think for whatever reason, only Sark knows, he's one of the great offensive minds in the game, but whatever reason, he stuck with Quinn throughout almost every snap of that game.
