In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr talk about Ryan Day’s biggest worry right now — complacency. The Buckeyes look like a well-oiled machine, but all of the talk on Tuesday was how they could be so much better if they clean up their mistakes. Is this a one-week battle because of the opponent, or is this setting up for something more? The fellas also go over everything that was said during a loaded interview session featuring Ryan Day, Mike Yurcich, Al Washington, Robert Landers, Wyatt Davis, Justin Fields, and the most underappreciated man in Buckeye Nation — Damon Arnette. All of this and much more.
The Rundown
+ Just got done with a loaded Tuesday session of interviews.
+ Tom isn’t impressed with Tony’s memory.
+ Wyatt Davis is my birthday.
+ Robert Landers is my anniversary.
+ Ryan Day was in a bit of a mood today.
+ The talk from everyone was that there is still a lot to improve upon.
+ Film tells no lies.
+ Was Ryan Day legitimately concerned or was it just coaching?
+ Day is treating this seriously, but it feels like a psychology thing.
+ Lots of woulda, coulda, shouldas from last week’s game.
+ Tom compares this weekend’s game to synchronized skating. Again.
+ Can the Buckeyes skate backwards?
+ The only thing that made Ryan Day smile today was talking about Chris Olave.
+ Everybody loves Chris.
+ Even BB loves Olave.
+ This passing game is consistent already and is only going to get better.
+ The offense has been good, but not insane.
+ That’s probably because of the lack of a fourth quarter for the starters, right?
+ The lack of a backup quarterback also hurts the stats.
+ But stats are for losers, so who cares?
+ “Stats are for people.”
+ Justin Fields has some street cred to him now.
+ Fields is now a leader, but he’s not sure when it happened.
+ He’s gonna need to be a leader on the road next week.
+ Are they already preparing for the trip to Nebraska?
+ Al Washington, pyromaniac.
+ The linebackers are good.
+ Chris Olave stands out among a team full of standouts.
+ Other leaders are talking about Justin Fields as a leader.
+ The improvements in techniques for players may be minutiae, but it’s the difference in the game.
+ None of the starting offensive linemen want to be the first non-champion.
+ This offensive line is setting up to have success against the elite defensive lines in the nation.
+ This is as equipped as the offensive line has been in years.
+ Let’s talk about Damon Arnette.
+ Arnette shouts out his math teacher who let him eat lunch in class.
+ Damon Arnette is unique, and that’s good.
+ This was a very mature Damon Arnette today.
+ The pick six was the biggest play in his life, but it is only the first step.
+ He understands why fans get mean.
+ Watch this video and if you don’t like Damon Arnette more than you did before, then you might want to get that checked out.
+ He’s also playing very good football, by the way.
+ Make good use of the clean slate, because the players are.
