WATCH: Ohio State Buckeyes Preview Nebraska Game



All the videos: https://theozone.net/2019/09/watch-ohio-state-buckeyes-preview-nebraska-game/



Ryan Day:
  • "We've got a real big challenge ahead of us this week." Said Nebraska is "by far" the most talented team Ohio State has played so far this season.
  • On Garrett Wilson's role as a punt returner: "I think it's going to progress ... the more he can take on, the better for him. He's still a young player, but the more he can take on, the more we'll give him."
  • On Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez: "Adrian's a very talented young man. Great kid. We recruited him. I spent a lot of time with him ... On the field, he's big and strong and powerful. He's very athletic ... You got to get him on the ground, which is not easy ... Throwing the ball, he's really accurate. So I think when you combine that together, his ability to run and throw, he is the best quarterback by far we've seen."
  • On Wisconsin: "They're off to a great start." Said he has only seen highlights of the Badgers, but is impressed with what he's seen.
  • On Jeff Okudah: "I think he has done a great job of taking on the technique that Jeff is teaching him."
  • "We have to be able to play 60 minutes and prove that we can play 60 minutes." The Buckeyes haven't had to do that yet because their first four games have all been lopsided.
  • On preparing for a night game: "You can't go win the game at 10:30 in the morning." Said the coaches have to build up in their preparation over the course of the day so that they don't get them too jacked up hours before kickoff.
  • On Isaiah Pryor's decision to transfer: "We wish him nothing but the best. We're obviously disappointed that he made the decision to leave the program four games in ... but there's no ill will there." Day said he still feels good about the Buckeyes' depth at safety, though, with Josh Proctor, Jahsen Wint and Marcus Hooker all being options to play at safety behind Jordan Fuller.
  • Day said it was "critical" to make sure that special teams remained just as much of an emphasis this year as it was when Urban Meyer was coach. Matt Barnes leads the Buckeyes' special teams efforts, but every coach is involved in special teams, and Day attends every special teams meeting.
  • On true freshman wide receiver Jameson Williams: "When Jameson got here, we knew his track times were off the charts ... but what we didn't know was how tough he was ... that really impressed all of us." Said he believes Williams has a "really bright future."
  • Day said Nebraska hybrid back/receiver Wan'Dale Robinson reminds him of Purdue's Rondale Moore. "He's really dynamic."
  • Day compared Ohio State to a prize fighter: "If you ever let your guard down, somebody's going to knock you out."
  • This week's game is Ohio State's "first real challenge as a team," Day said.
  • Day said Adrian Martinez was "very close" to getting a scholarship offer from Ohio State. "It was just hard for us because there was no senior film, and at the end of the day, we just weren't sure," because Martinez had a shoulder injury his senior year. But Day "had a feeling he was going to be a special player."
  • "I am proud to say that I think we're playing hard, we're playing tough, we're playing clean, not a lot of turnovers."
  • Day said he does not know what uniform Nebraska will wear on Saturday.
  • On Nebraska's 42-38 win against Illinois: "I think they pretty much dominated the whole game, they just turned the ball over. If they didn't turn the ball over, I don't think that game's even close."
  • On Justin Fields: "He has grown, for sure, and he will continue to grow. He has a good approach to him, and he's got the right mindset, but there's going to be adversity along the way, and he's got to handle that."
  • Is it more telling what you see in practice or what you see in games? "It's both. Because you practice more than you play. And what you see in practice, you typically see in the game."
  • Day said the new defensive scheme, in which the Buckeyes are only using one deep safety on most plays, has changed the way they are recruiting at the safety position.
  • Day said he prefers for less conversation on the headset during games rather than everyone trying to speak over each other. Wants assistant coaches to speak up when they need to speak up, but not to be talking constantly.

Oh I forgot to share... I'll be at a wedding this weekend.

Never met the couple before so any tips on how I should handle the game?

Make whoever is dragging you along to this shitshow get a new +1 for the day. I already told my wife to find a new one for a fall wedding and that was just because they had a dress code for the reception. Motherfuckers, I don't even know what cocktail attire means and I don't intend to find out!

Pretty sure that means no bottoms are necessary... but yeah I don’t have that option for this week as far as bailing goes.

So my plan is to gamecast and check very frequently. Anyone on here able to post the game right after it ends? I’ll at least watch it that night when everything ends.

See when you live in Ohio people generally understand.

Here in MN they barely know who their college team is.

Honestly I want to keep close tabs but I’ll probably get yelled at if I do lol

I gotta tell you, I thought Ohio drivers were bad, but the wife and I just got back from MN and... what the HELL are they doing??

Duluth was cool, though.
