Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Buckeye weekly podcast. I am Tony Gerdeman. Here, as always with Tom Orr. Tom, how's it going?
Tony, it's our bold prediction show our weekly bold prediction show. And just right off the top, I just want to say I forgive you
for Well,
you told me we were doing a bold prediction show. You didn't tell me we're supposed to try and get go bold predictions. Correct. So I went over the first week cuz it was like, oh, I'll say a bunch of bold stuff. Yeah, no problem. So now that I know, you were like, Hey, you didn't do very well, I got four, right? And I was like, whoa, whoa, we were supposed to be getting these rights, like, What? But you got to tell me this stuff up front when we were doing a new segment. But I forgive you. It's okay.
I've never I've never once apologized. And I'm not going to apologize, frankly, if you didn't understand the rules, that's on you are an apple customer, you know that? You don't read the rules, you just go ahead and click on stuff and, and, you know, bad things happen to you and bad things happen to you. I'm reminded listeners and viewers. Exactly how many of your predictions Did you get wrong?
Well, I mean, in fairness, I wasn't trying to get them right. So I really don't feel like I got them wrong, per se. But I made five of them. And none of them were correct, as it turned out. So you know, I mean, that's the good news is onward and upward. Tony, only one way we can go from here.
That's not necessarily true. There are two ways you can keep going the same way to tip over five.
That's true. That was that was what Randy Edsel thought after week one, like this can't get any worse. It'll be fine. Like, Oh, no, oh, no, it got worse. And now I'm fired. Whoops. Whoops. So I'll tell you what, if I go over five again, you can give me a $1.256 million buyout, just like Randy, I forgot. I'll let you do that.
No, I will keep you around forever. As long as you continue to go over five because that's just entertainment. That's really, that's all sports are. It's entertainment. And if you keep people engaged with your inability to get one single, old prediction correct. In a game where you supposedly know stuff, and you watch stuff, you talk to players and your, your hash, I don't think I don't want to say inability, your lack of ability to get predictions correct is I think it's probably disappointing to the listeners. Funny, but also disappointing. Like, no, yeah, it's funny, but it's kind of sad, but it's still funny.
Like, like a clown funeral, that kind of that. Yeah, this is this is the clown funeral of our weekly of our weekly podcast lineup. I like the fact that my access to players is supposed to help me like I regret on Wednesday night, not asking guys like, hey, how many interceptions you guys think you're gonna have this week? Like? Yeah, that's the kind of inside information that really would pay off for this. Like, if I told you over under 112 rushing yards for you, what would you What would you How are you feeling about that? You feel good?
You ask something like that? How quickly Are you ushered out by security? Just because it sounds like a gambling question. Oh,
yeah. Yeah, you wouldn't even you wouldn't even get to the question mark point portion of it before Jerry, Jerry or Mike would have a taser in your ribs. So yeah.
Ryan, let's say how comfortable do you feel about stay? over under? You know, 40 to 41? and a half points, you know?
Right. I know, you guys feel like you get a pretty good team. Do you feel your team is better than 14 points better than Oregon? Like, I mean, 14 and a half, 14 and a half points is fine, as long as you as long as you're rounding up there. And going for too late in the game if necessary. Yeah,
I'm just gonna raise my hand and nod when you think it's to the point where you would agree that, but so we do have some bold predictions, five each and then we'll maybe throw in some extras that we have. I will let you go first. Yes, I have honors. But, look, if we go by honors, you're never going to get to go first. So I will allow you to go first this time, and maybe I'll go first next time. Not because I lost the week. But just because we change stuff up.
You have home field advantage. That's fine, but we'll play it that way. I'm gonna I'm going to take a little spin off of something you did last week. Last week. You said that Tanner Morgan would have no more than 92 yards passing in the first half. I will do you not one better but to better Anthony Brown of Oregon throws for less for no more. No more than 90 yards in the first half. You think you're better than me? two yards better. Yes.
Do is better. Okay, 90 yards, no more than 90 yards. I can. I mean, that means either. Things aren't going great. But I mean, he threw for like 180 against Fresno State 190 some so I don't know if it's terribly bold but also they're gonna get some yards. he's a he's also a runner. So maybe if you're thinking you know Some of these areas are going to come via the ground. I will. I'm not going to call it bold, because I may agree with it. Although if I agree with it, that's definitely bold. So I'm
a little Yeah, and 80% likely to be right, based on last week. So feeling pretty good about that.
Although, I do know better than to agree with you any of your bold predictions. So I need to rethink that as well. But I, you know, I'm not going to disallow it. We don't disallow stuff here. We just mock it if we disagree with it, or we think it's unbought I, you know, you should grow from more than 180 yards in the game. That's, I mean, this is this is what 1818 2000 to 2020. So, yes, the offense has picked up so yeah, okay, I will allow it. And I'm not gonna say Oh, because that's not what the show is about. It's about being supportive.
Right? I can tell you.
So my first one, Tom, and I will see if you think this is bold, is probably foolish, or perhaps stupid. But sometimes you just got it. You gotta swing for the fences. And so I am saying a safety we'll get an interception this week. Now, does that mean an Oregon safety or an Ohio State safety booster say does that mean a bullet is a safety? Yes, it does. Does that mean Oregon's nickel bag is a safety? Oh, it sure does. It means any non corner defensive back and possibly if perhaps if a defensive end dropped back on a zone Blitz, I'd maybe I might qualify that one as well. But I think a safety will get an interception. I'm thinking it's Bryce and Shaw. But I don't need to get too specific. It's a little fuzzy right now. But if it's Bryce and shot, I called it. So that's where I'm going, I'm gonna say a safety we'll get an interception in this game. Also, if they catch a fumble out of the air that still counts.
I can I get a list a comprehensive list of players who are considering safeties, but the purpose of this exercise, because that seemed overly broad to me, like
the only player I do not consider a safety is Antwuan Jackson. Because you have to consider Haskell Garrett a safety after what we saw him do last last year. And last week.
Literally your your prediction is literally anyone other than like Sevyn Banks has an interception good. Well, that's very,
it could be a fumble catch, or a blocked punt.
You know, I can't help but notice now that this is a kind of a competitive venture, you are getting significantly less bold in these predictions.
I can't help but notice that I think an interception from a safety and legitimate interception from a safety or the the nickel person, I think is pretty darn bald. And I think the listeners agree and I can Yep, I can hear them agreeing
our way. So just for just so we're setting this date Ronnie Hickman lathan ransom, Bryson Shaw Kourt. Williams, are you including Craig young with the safeties?
I mean, he's a bullet. And if we're including Ronnie Hickman, you have to include Greg young. I mean, that's I don't, I don't make the rules.
It seems like you do sometimes that actually is how It seems so. Okay. Just but I just want to make sure we're defining our terms here. That's fine. Because when you know, Brian watts has a
he's a six, three quarter he is practically a safety. I think if you look at body type, we're talking about safety.
Yeah, I just got and I don't want I don't want, you know, they sack Anthony Brown and the end zone. It's like, Well, look, that was a safety and they intercepted the ball away from them. And now they're getting it back like that. No, we're not
the safety intercepted the possession, I just hyoe State has possession.
I just want to make sure we're defining our terms here. That's fine. I think we did. Okay, next one, Ohio State both rushes and passes for 220 yards. Now that doesn't sound like a crazy high amount cuz you always hear them talking about one it'd be 250 and 250. They only did that twice last year. Indiana and Clemson were the only games they actually did 220 yards rushing 220 yards passing. So I think this is a week that they can do that. And you're probably going to you know, the the theme there with Indiana and Clemson is you're playing a good team. But you know, you have to keep trying and you have to be balanced the whole game. But also you've got to be reasonably successful. Like they didn't do it against Alabama and Alabama was a good team. So they didn't do it against Northwestern and that game was pretty competitive for most of the game. So it's going to be a you know, it's going to be a fairly competitive game Ohio State should be able to move the ball reasonably well. So I think they both rush and pass for 220 yards. thoughts.
I agree with you and I was gonna say but they already did that once this season, but they did and they fell short of that. 220 yards rushing. I think that will happen as well. And I think that's a good one I is it bold? Like I said I agree with it. So it must be and it's something that they haven't done a lot. They've done it in the past more than the see like in 2019. I'm just scanning they did it in the first two games. Did it in the, you know, almost the first half of the season, but that was with Justin fields. That was without COVID. That was also with JK Dobbins. So there's a they had a lot of things going for them. Yeah, I like that 220 yards, passing and rushing a boat, they will you if you were to say like they will get one of those numbers in the first half like that. But really bold. Would you care to maybe adjust your prediction?
Would you care to pick one safety? Who's going to have an interception? No. All right, let's move on to your second one. So
we're not here to talk about the past. All right, let's talk. It seems like
we spent a lot of time talking about the past the beginning of the show, but Go on, go on.
Let's talk about my second one. A true freshmen will score a touchdown, no true freshmen, two freshmen will score the, you don't want to be specific time that I'm just teaching you how to do this. You don't want to be specific on the type of score, just just leave it a score because that can encompass a freshman getting a safety that can encompass a true freshman kicking something or anything of that nature. Just that's and you don't even want to necessarily specify team. So you want to keep things broad. So I think a true freshman will score now I to be fair will have to reach the end zone on their own, like be part of that and be responsible there. They the points will go to them, basically. So that's where I am. And that can be treyvion Henderson, that can be one of the receivers really is that that's what I was thinking of maybe one of the receivers, or perhaps dunzo Berg, pick six, you know, something like that. I don't think it would be totally outrageous. And I'm not predicting that. But again, if it happens, I called it
since all of your predictions seem to be thing that will happen in 90% of football games will happen in this game. I'm gonna just I'm gonna narrow it nearly down to a few more specifics here. True freshmen, freshmen class of 2021. Not you know, well, actually, when you think about it, the guys from last year are still listed as freshmen. So I just gave true freshmen class of 2021. Correct.
Or even early enrollees from the class of 22.
Mm hmm. Okay. Yeah, you want a pretty good prediction. We both predict that one lesson early in early 2023 doing something this weekend that will be bold. And and if a true freshman throws a touchdown pass to a upperclassmen that would not count correct? Because that true freshman is not the one crossing the golden Right.
Exactly. That's what he won't be responsible for touching. I will take that one off the board. So okay.
And and this is just Ohio State, because all the examples you provided were Ohio State. So this is just
because I don't know specifically all of the freshmen for Oregon because they play a lot of upperclassmen. So no, I did not specify teams. And I will ask us by teams, I don't want to you know, eliminate somebody's goodness from happening. I don't want to say oh, this, you know, I want them to have an opportunity to partake in one of these bold predictions. I don't want to leave them out. I am all inclusive here. Think according to Oregon's media notes, 14 of their true freshmen participated in last week's game so
your base rate your basic Yeah, you're basically giving yourself I don't know like a quarter of the players will play in this game will score a touchdown. I mean, on the scale of boldness it is not it isn't you know, this is this is down with like the honey garlic wings on the heat scale there. You You're looking at medium and mediums a couple a couple spots above you, but Okay, I guess I'll allow it this week. And if it's if it's for nothing again, this week, I'm going to get a little get a little stricter on our on when we're defining gold next week. irony. Alright, next one, at least 90 yards of total offense for treyvion Henderson, which you're probably saying, Come on, that's not that bold. He would be only the second true freshman at Ohio State since the start of the 2018 season to do it. Do you know who the only true freshmen to have more than 90 yards of offense in a game for Ohio State since the start of the 2018 season is because there were a whole bunch of people I thought I bet that guy did it and the answer was no. Just freshmen
or true freshmen true. freshmen says 2018
start with the 2018 season unless I unless I missed that one. There were a bunch that I thought I bet this guy did it and the air Wilson against
Michigan
correct by Rosing as Michigan 2019. Yeah, there was there was a bunch of oh I bet Chris Olave I did it No, I bet Marcus Crowley did it against Maryland no like they all they weren't you know there are a bunch of guys in like 8085 75 only only one person has done it since the start up the 2018 season. treyvion Henderson will do it this weekend. 90 yards of total offense and Tony I'm not being I'm not doing the Tony thing here and saying we'll gain 90 yards and including kickoff returns and that in there Well that's all purpose yards know that Israel purpose yards. Yes. So I am I am being a little more bold than you have been thus far. I'm not saying you know, someone's gonna do something with the football and people are gonna cheer like no, this is this is at least 90 yards of total offense for treyvion Henderson
mice and this that's bold I will give you that that is a bold one. My sincere hope, however, is that he only carries the ball once it's in an 89 yard touchdown. thereby giving me my freshman touchdown and keeping you from your 90 yards of total offense. That is my son, I you can make that my Christmas and my birthday. If that happens,
I gotta tell you you picking something that happened literally last week and then being like, but but not just for one guy, literally anyone on the field who enrolled this year,
it happened last week, it's not it's not likely to happen. He's not going to score 12 touchdowns in the regular season, like he's only
going to score Four Tops. I'm not sure you have a great grasp of how probability works. But okay, go ahead with your number three. Here's my grass with probability This is probably gonna be pretty weak go on
Oregon, will be held under eight yards per carry.
Oregon will be held under four yards per carry now, they they think they're like 3.9 or 3.8 per carry against Fresno State. However, Ohio State had some issues stopping the run against Minnesota, I think they will bow up and play better against the run knowing that it's a different kind of running game. So they're going to have to tackle in space. We haven't necessarily seen them have to do that yet. So I'm going to assume they can which increases the boldness of this of holding Oregon under four yards per carry. They may need some sacks to get it done. But But I'm okay with it that way. This is not a sack adjusted no time to answer your next question. We do not. This is just straight out. What does what does the box score? say? It says 3.8 3.9. Even no rounding up. Do not round up. If you are not at least four yards per carry on the nose or above. There's no 3.99 I don't know how many carriers it would take to break that way. But Oregon will be held under four yards per carry time. Go ahead rate the boldness.
Well, since they did literally that against Fresno State last week,
different distances this
Yes. Whose defense do you think is better this year Fresno states or Ohio States?
Do you have an answer that kind of do actually? I'll tell you after this week,
yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna ask you to Chernobyl, this one. And when I say Chernobyl, this one I remember I remember one of the opening scenes of Chernobyl where the guy is looking at the Geiger counter or whatever it was. And he looks and he goes 3.6 not great. not terrible. Now, of course, the number was much higher than that. But it just went the his device only went up to three months. So I'm going to ask you to in order to not make this embarrassing for yourself, where you're just predicting a bunch of stuff that happened last week to happen again this week. I would like you to Chernobyl the number I would like you to say no better than 3.6 not great. not terrible. Your thoughts?
no better than 3.73 I thought we weren't rounding. I am where you going precise here because I need this
3.73 All right. Well, that's fine.
Oh 3.74 I am going to be so
imagine the delight that I will have on next week's show if I have talked you down
to 100 it's 100. Yes, that's fantastic, Tom Good job. Good. All right.
Next se 3.731 I don't know how many carries it would take to get that far out on the significant digits but man that will be that will be my favorite show we've ever done. Number four, Oregon had four sacks in week one for sex in week one against Fresno State. But of course as we all know Fresno State is not as good as Ohio State so I would never just hurt them to have four sacks or less because Ohio State's better than Fresno State. As we all know, I'm no coward. I'm not simply gonna predict something that happened last week to happen again this week. The average close to three per game since the start of the 2019 season. 2.2 point seven one since we're taking digits out there. My prediction they have no more than one sec against Ohio State.
Huh. That's pretty bold, because I stay generally gives up about two sacks a game. I think we did that last year. And so I will and we don't know the status of cave on tibideaux at the time of this recording. Obviously Tom think he thinks he's gonna play and he thinks Ohio State, you know, won't be able to handle him at least once. But, Tom, you know, and again, I will Yes, this is but I'm just telling you why it's not gonna happen. You know, or get there was a lot of blitzes out there. So you're asking Some possibly inexperienced running backs to pick those blitzes up a young quarterback to see those blitzes. So I bet if they hold if they hold Oregon to one sack or less even, then Boy, that's saying I don't want to say it's like a three touchdown win. But I think I think it's certainly a win.
It would certainly be a an encouraging sign for Ohio State. And, you know, the other thing you could do there is that that means you're running games probably staying on schedule, so they can't you're not getting yourself into predictable passing situations. That too, would be good news for Ohio State. So yeah, I think if this happens, Ohio State wins. almost almost certainly I don't you know, it would take it would take something really crazy happening for Ohio State to get sacked one or zero times and not win the game. But yeah, I think and, you know, this this could end up to, and they would still feel pretty good about where they're where they are for the game. But yeah, I'm gonna say zero to one because I am still actually taking the bold part of the bold predictions seriously, out of respect for the listeners and viewers, unlike others. Go ahead, Tony, what's your next one?
I'm going to I'm going to skip the next one. And we'll come back to it because it is something that has already happened to season but who is by the time we get to you will have forgotten about that. Jaxon Smith-Njigba will score touchdown this week. You know what? I'm just gonna say he's gonna score. Like he might he might kick a bat, he might have a safety I don't want to eliminate because it would be very anger inducing, if that did happen. And rather than I'm just going to touch on so I'll just say he will score this week. He's do I know. It's, I know, it's just game two. But he's doing I think there's gonna be a lot of focus on love and Garrett Wilson. I also think they're going to score as well. But that's just that's, you know, you can only predict so many times before you have to like, Okay, enough, we get it. You're gonna score just try to talk about somebody else. So I'm gonna try to talk about Jaxon Smith-Njigba and I think now is the time that Oregon's past events they will get some help back this week with DJ James the corner and Jamal Hill. The Nickelback though was started last year Nickelback those guys have been out for their airsoft gun incident. They're back on the organizational chart this week, the the depth chart, so I assume they will play but I mean, you've got to attack the secondary anyway, and play action and all that stuff. They didn't really feature Jaxon Smith-Njigba against Minnesota, I think this will be an opportunity to do that. And when I say feature, I mean we have many touchdowns the Kj Hill score inside the five yard line at Ohio State, I mean, out of that slot receiver spot so that I could see that happening. And I think that's where, you know, that was where Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught his only touchdown last year was in sight of that red zone. Now it would also require Ohio State to actually get to the red zone, which I think they did just once last week, but I'm going JSN will score can be safety could be touchdown, extra point field goal. two point conversion.
You had me right until two point conversion. I was like, Oh, that is absolutely how it's going to happen. Like, oh, this is see this is this is the problem. This is the this is the issue. This one was was Jaxon Smith-Njigba scores a touchdown is like that's that is exactly in the spirit of this exercise. Because it's like, it sounds it doesn't sound that bold, but it's like you go through it's like yes, but how often does a receiver score a touchdown? Like not that often, like on average, it's gonna happen less than 50% of the time. You keep covering these little like, Well, you know, your your every one of your predictions just sounds like the legal disclaimer at the end of an ad like yeah, Nope. No purchase necessary. doing this a
long time, man.
I'm learning this the hard way. Yes, I have to. I have to weasel my way into into getting more of these. Correct. But yes, I think this is this is I may be the first one you've had that I was like, Alright, this is extremely in the spirit of this exercise. So I will I will allow it. That's that's, that's good. All right.
Thank you. Alright, I accept your apology.
Number five. And I was feeling a lot better than about this before you your first four predictions were like Ohio State will kick the ball off at some point, Ohio State. Well, you know, the band will play at halftime. But number five, after finishing four questions worse than you last week, I cut that in half to no worse than two questions behind you this week.
can't predict the fact that you can't have bold predictions, a bunch of bullet predictions. That's no, no. Plus, it involves math. So you can totally get it wrong. It'd be like I gotta read like, well, I guess you did. I have no way of knowing.
The funny thing is where we get stuck in a feedback loop where you have you have like, three right? And I have or you have four right and I have one right? But then if the fifth one's right then then it's two So therefore it's Yeah. So it's like we it's either it's either right or wrong. And the whole point is we get stuck in a feedback loop. And then we can't evaluate the results next week. So that's, that's fine. But if we can
do that, that's fine. Give me me again.
Jeremy Ruckert triples his number of receptions from a week ago, getting at least three catches to near the tide. And Tony, I'm gonna have a Jeremy Ruckert prediction every week until I get one right. 31233 catches?
Well, I mean, hey, God bless you. Maybe one day when he said, Jeremy Ruckert Tripp was I was gonna play Oh, you're going 15? I think he's gonna, he's gonna do you're gonna double you're gonna triple down on your five catch prediction from last week and go 15 down that would be bold, prefer and highest a tight end, still pretty bold. But it feels kind of like, I don't know, not not a cop out. But you've come back with your hat in hand and said, Okay, I realize asking for $10 an hour was too much. I will accept $4 an hour. And so that's what you have done? And is it bold? is bold enough? I mean, you know, how many times did you do that last year? How many times has he done in his career? Off the top of my head? I will say three? And I could probably check that and verify. But that's not what we do on this show. Not especially not bold predictions. So three, I will accept that. Yeah, okay. And but I also think, well, it's very possible, it's quite likely. Or else we wouldn't be saying, hey, this could happen is by definition, I will I will go with that. I will allow that one. My last one. And I have to decide which one to use. Because the one I want to just be like, but and I felt like Well, that would also help the show. And it's still bold, because it's not necessarily going to happen every week. There will be a pickup truck commercial during the
broadcast for Oh, wow, Tony here. It's crazy. That's crazy talk. Never but no.
And I realized what I'm about to predict happened twice last week.
in only one game. Yes. Go on.
But it's not supposed to happen all of the time. A running back will have at least one play of 38 yards or more. That's been playing. And I don't know saying it could just be a higher state. It could be an Oregon running back. It could be edge. It could be a kickoff return. It could be a punt return. It could be a halfback pass and yes, if it's a halfback pass the passing yards that still counts because they are still involved in it. 38 yards or more. I don't think it'll be on mine. Williams maybe maybe it'll be trivial to understand what the 89 yarder we're looking for. And just the 89 yarder. But Tom, I know what you're gonna say. And yes, it did happen twice last week. It doesn't happen all the time. Just because it's happening all the time so far this year, doesn't mean it's gonna keep happening. I've done this a long time. And I've gotten this one wrong. A lot. have I gotten it wrong? Some right sometimes? Yes, that's why I use it. All right. But you got to use it the right time at the right times it gets the right defenses, Pac 12 defenses, pretty good time to use it. So that's what I'm going to do. I chose that one over a couple of others that we can get to after you tell me how much you hate. The lack of boldness about me predicting almost a 100 yard play by an Ohio State Oregon running back
because of the way zoom works I have to talk right now. In order to get the camera on me. The listeners can see the look of contempt on my face.
You said content
I did not in fact say content. I said content. Yes.
Yeah, that's
if this if you want to ruin this segment and you want it to turn into next week. You know, a quarterback will have a pass longer than that travels through the air longer than four yards with now no no I didn't say which team and I didn't say the past had to be completed and say four yards downfield, sideways or backwards. That then it's a lateral Come on. I'm not trying to gain the system Tony that's a lateral that's a that's a fumble. That's not that's not a pass. We know how this works. I just want you to think about the the listeners at home and how disappointed they are because they clicked on something that said bold predictions and you're like oh, someone will do something in a football manner. They will win they will be wearing two shoes at the time.
But Tom by your logic if By say, a running back, we'll have at least one play of 70 yards, you'll be like, well, they both did that last week that's doubled.
I'll tell you what, you go one lower than that, and I will allow it.
No running backs.
No. Make a nice prediction or get out.
How about if I upped the 38. To, I'll go,
you're gonna sit like 41 I'm just kidding, I'm just gonna end the zoom call.
I'll go 49 that's, that's my limit. It's bold, that's bold. And that's, that's, that's as high as I will go 48 yards, a running back will have a play of 49 yards. That's a lot. And now, I'm gonna be very angry because I know it's not gonna happen, and they will get one of 38 yards or more, they're gonna be in a sweet spot of 38 to 48 yards. And good job, Tom, you've done your job here and trying to tear me down and build you up through no fault of my own. You're not even going to get closer. By building yourself up. You're just trying to bring me down to your level. And we'll see if you can get anything right. Although that 220 yards rushing and passing. It's guaranteed to happen. So you feel yell at me. I think, sir, yell at yourself.
I'm predicting things that didn't happen last week, and you're protecting literally everything that happened last week. Like last less last week's game, nothing will change. All right, cool.
We know history does not repeat itself.
Sure. That's actually how that saying goes. But that's okay.
Yeah, I mean,
we all see what's going on here. And that's fine. That's fine. If that's how we apply the game. That's fine. But yes. I feel like we need to probably define the term bold a little more carefully next week. But we'll go and again, we'll get there next week.
These have always been just predictions. You brought the boldness to them, and we're trying to meet somewhere in the middle. But also I do have to have a level of boldness because again, there has to be some mystery to it. Also, I've only ever really gotten 40% of these right over the years. So clearly, these aren't all shoo ins. I did have a couple of others that I left out. Garrett Wilson will outscore Chris solavei Cody Simon will have at least seven tackles and the linebackers will have at least two and a half tackles for loss. Okay, which linebackers the linebackers back
yeah yeah they will yes that's the question isn't the Ohio State linebackers
are we saying and Cody Simon it could be the Oregon Cody Simon or the Ohio State Cody Simon or any Cody other Cody Simon in college football
Buffalo Bill combined
Buffalo Bill Cody and Paul Simon Yes,
all Simon's are Cody's together will combine for at least seven tackles this week.
I mean, the linebackers one you wanna you wanna make the linebackers one one of your bowl predictions or move one of the more cowardly ones I'd be fine with that. The Ohio State linebackers will have
I'll tell you what I will remove the Oregon will be held under four yards per carry if that makes you feel better. But you have to give me 38 yards from the from the running backs.
No Deal. And it's Oregon will be held under 3.373 Yes.
I will go linebackers gonna have tackles for loss. We'll take out the running back we'll have at least one play of 49 yards.
How's that? That's good. That was that was one of your more cowardly one. So yeah, I disagree, honestly, but we'll see because now I don't think it's gonna happen because i don't i don't think they're gonna get there. I really liked this organ defense. I am really excited for the first time any any player who has ever played running back at any level as a play of longer than 49 yards and I'm just going to text you the in your face space coyote gift, and it's going to be great and I'm really looking forward. That's that's what I'm now most excited about for Saturday, like return to the crowds in the bands of the pageantry and the you know, whatever in your face space coyote it's coming in and so excited.
But what I'm excited for is that that tackle for loss that takes me from two to two and a half or something like that. I will even though I will be busy at work, I will text you a some sort of an emoji that when What they need is an emoji with a crotch chap. I don't know if they have those. I may work on one of those and then just continue to text that to you like even during postgame and just you know that will be my thank you to you for goading me into going with that one. And taking out one that's now Not going to happen so I hope you are happy. And when I go four or five and oh again like I did last last week and you go over I don't know 12 just just remember this de Rue this day because it will be our downfall.
I am I am well into ruing already so get where this is despite going great and I can't wait to do it that can't wait to do this 15 more times this year it's going it's going fantastic so far. All right, that
will do it then I think Did you have any others that you left off? Or did you just go with five because you didn't need any more?
I said this is these are my guys. I'm not. Yes, I'm not. I'm not bringing extras. We don't need extras. This is this is what we got.
You'll learn you might sometimes want to bring some extras, but I'm not gonna tell you how to do it even though clearly. He should listen. Anyway, that will do it for this episode.
