head now to the public address announcer here at Ohio stadium Bob Kennedy remembrance of Maria and in support of her friends and the entire tberry family thank you fans joining us on the field today

please rise and join the band in the singing of our national [Music] anthem [Music] [Applause] all right coach let’s take a look at the Principal Financial Edge to the game well first of all just execute offensively if your Ohio State they’ve got lot of weapons it’s not about Fu it’s about the buck guys and on defense they got to improve their tackling everybody point out to pointed out last week against Cal 16 Miss tackles for 137 hidden yards they got to take the proper angles Matt and when they get there they got to get their head across the bow wrap their arms and drive their legs all right let’s go to the third member of our broadcast team Lisa Bingington Lisa Matt thank you this is also the return of senior running back Carlos Hyde who had to serve that three- game suspension and in talking to Urban Meyer in the pregame he said I expect Carlos Hyde to come out like a caged animal expect him to get some time as early as the second or third series here in this game and in terms of splitting time with Jordan Hall for this game offensive coordinator Tom Herman said I’m just going to go with the hottest guy it’s been fun to watch him in practice because it’s been so deep and so competitive between the two all right time for the impact players here on this sat Saturday and for the Ohio State Buck guys it begins coach with Kenny gon no doubt Kenny D gon the quarterback in his second start he was fabulous last week they’ve got complete confidence in this young guy to lead that offense and Jordan Hall the running back who’s having a good year I knew he could run outside effectively but boy have I been impressed the way he runs inside keeps his shoulders square and makes people miss and then Ryan shazir you talk about a big time linebacker Luke fickle the defensive coordinator told me this guy runs like a cheetah and he can make plays all over the field first ever meeting between Florida A&M and Ohio State the Buckey 3 and 0 66 de it started raining heavily late last night all the way through the morning however the rain has subsided here in Columbus Ohio the Ohio State Buckeyes have won 15 consecutive games that is the longest winning streak in the country and Earl Holmes is the head coach of Florida A&M played at Florida A&M also of course in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers and here in the state of Ohio with the Cleveland Browns well Earl Holmes he was that Florida A&M they called him the Hitman I’ll tell you one thing there’s a reason why they call you the Hitman the Rattlers won the toss and they will receive two B the kick off James Owens is back along with lont deont Bice and it is taken at the goal line and stacked up and nailed at the 11 yd line is James Owens this is a Florida A&M team that does not have their offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Quinn Gray he has been Hospital I an undisclosed illness he is back home recovering which is great news in talking to head coach Earl Holmes he said that they’re certainly hoping that he’s going to have a speedy recovery in BB back hopefully even next week that has affected this Young quarterback the sophomore from Jacksonville Florida Damen Fleming well it’s one thing when you lose your offensive coordinator but he’s also your quarterback coach that’s a tough situation to be in Amari Albert is the running back out of the shotgun they mark it at the 13 yd line delay of game and a delay of game 5yd so tough to simulate this as we talked to their head coach Earl Holmes he had the music cranked up there in Tallahassee Florida trying to get ready for this environment they have only beaten one FBS school and that was Miami back in the late 70s here’s a handoff to Albert and Albert is stacked up and brought down John iosa is there along with Ryan Shir in a pickup of two you talk about them upsetting Miami which was the maybe the biggest win in the history of that school and Rudy hubard the former Ohio State player and coach was the head coach there and he’s here today back in 1979 16-13 Damen Fleming up top top of your screen and coming in is CJ Barnett with a big stick and it’s time for the auto owners insurance starting defense and Ryan Shir the Big 10 defensive player of the week last week had 12 tackles 10 solo tackles John Bosa The Freshman there 97 on the edge getting the start for adus Washington Washington is out as that pass is incomplete intended for Casey blinds as Barnett is right there and coming in punt now for Florida andm kby Blandon but alphus Washington out last week with a groin strain at C’s out this week in talking to uran me he is probable for next week against the Badgers Philly Brown is back at the 50 and Ohio State should start out with great field position as this one is blocked it is blocked and it sails Out of Bounds at the 28 yd line quite possibly even before that let’s see where they decide to mark it as they are going up the line they’re going to put it at the 30 as Doran Grant was able to get a piece of it well I’m me just tell you that’s a message that Urban Meyer sent to his team all week we’re not going to let them set the tone of this game we’re going to set the tone we’re going to put pedal to the medal and we’re going to go and that’s why they went after that punt they went after it and Doran Grant may not have gotten a piece of it in fact just his presence and pressure may have caused the punter Blandon to shank it here’s gon gon connecting right down the sideline line is Evan Spencer Spencer had one catch last week however he raided out as one of their best wide receivers because of his blocking last week in Berkeley well if you don’t block in this offense you don’t play and quickly to the top of the screen and it is batted down by Brandon Denmark Denmark doing an excellent job of getting a hand there well you know that’s the problem you got to get guys hands and they triggered and that’s the term that AIO State wants to use on defense against those quick passes out there he made a nice play gon at the 10 yd line hall is the running back gon sends it to his tight end Jeff hman hman inside the five John Ajo is there Ojo comes in the fouryear starter grad student and they are moving quickly here as gon rolls to the near side looking to the End Zone floats it out there and it is intercepted by Florida A&M and brought out and the ball is loose on the turf Patrick aen with the interception and then it’s fumbled and recovered by the buckas oh my goodness aen his third interception this year well that’s a critical mistake by aen he intercepts the ball deep in theend zone and he’s dancing around you got to go down and take possession of the ball there on the 20 yd line Buckeyes get it back you hear the whistles blowing time out Florida A&M they’re first Florida A&M taking a timeout Earl Holmes cannot be pleased with that turn of events there Earl Holmes called the timeout because he wanted to challenge a coach’s Challenge and so we will take a look as Alex Kempton initially tell us that when the timeout was called but it was a challenge and you see how he lost the ball Patrick aen did the ball lost and recovered by the Buckey yeah you don’t know but over the years I’ve seen that happen and a guy will come out and say hey coach I was down I was down you weren’t down Jordan Hall is the running back out of the shotgun gon hands it off Hall straight up the middle they had four plays all of them passing and Hall comes in and gets his seventh touchdown of the Season Hall that ties him for the NCAA leading rushing touchdowns this [Music] season Boise sne last night running back with seven as well bezo comes on for the extra point Buckeyes on the board the [Music] Buckey are the only team in the Big 10 to have scored a touchdown in each of their first drives of their first three games this season and now it goes to four when I was watching the film Jordan Hall was really impressive you know he’s not the biggest guy in the world 59 191 pounds well guys like that normally can run outside pretty well but when I watched him run inside he keeps his shoulders Square so he can make those little subtle Cuts right up the middle and when you talk about the spread offense you’ve got to get that inside running game going first if you get that going then all of a sudden the outside stuff the option stuff goes and those playaction passes to the inside runs thrown to the perimeter are golden first there 35 games you see that and then over the course of the last four including today and actually because of the interception it doesn’t count as the first series the second series in fact and that one is out of bounds Ohio State you know one of the things about the Buckey coach is they put an emphasis on getting off to a great start something that they didn’t do last season kick off out of bounds kicking team by rule the ball is placed at the 35 yd line Florida ball first down however they made that emphasis coming in to this season and up until this game and they just scored on their second possession 68 to 14 out scoring their opponents that’s what you start calling starting fast offensively and defensively get that lead and then keep Amari Albert the running back Fleming the quarterback out of the shotgun Fleming with time fires to the near side and out of [Music] bounds pass for Dwayne Harvey this is the Florida A&M team that is one and two last week they lost at sford 27 to 20 it’s a daunting task for the Rattlers to come in here against one of the best teams in the country as this one is one right back through the middle and Noah Spence on the tackle to Albert and the way this game evolved coaches because they originally Ohio state had Vanderbilt on the schedule yeah they had Vanderbuilt from the south these conference Vander changed their mind they didn’t want to play in the Buckey it was late all of a sudden um the athletic director Jean Smith had a find somebody had to switch the schedule around got Florida A&M on the schedule you got to play somebody he first picked up the phone to call Grambling and Grambling was unable to work it out as that pass is broken up by Christian Bryant and that’s going to bring up now third down one of the things that Jean Smith mentioned you know you you look for something to attract that’s attractive to your audiences here and he talked about the the marching 400 uh at Florida in the the world renowned band and then you got the Ohio State marching band The Best Damn Band in the land they call it it would have been quite a halftime spectable but Florida and band is not here kby Bryant is first CAU 15 yards and that one taken back by Brown inside the 15 and brought out at the 30 here he is at the 40 cut back inside rler territory across the field at the 42 Philly Brown racing and shoved Out of Bounds at the 21 by the punter Kobe [Applause] Bandon flag down during the return personal foul Florida A&M half the distance to the goal line Ohio State keeps the ball first down now watch Brown he feels the ball and then he lets the block set up you see how he juked inside then went back outside that’s to set the Defenders up so these guys can make the blocks and he’s off to the races at the 11 yd line as Philly Brown with a tremendous return 65 yds gon with plenty of time fires and lowering the left shoulder is Jeff hman the tight end already with two catches and hman right in to the end zone and a touchdown hman right at the edge and here’s gon to hall Hall brought back to the 10 as Urban Meers as Patrick aen is there trying to mix it up a little bit in well they’ve done that before this year right off the bat first touchdown they scored on the year they did that went for two and gon hman hman reaches over there’s a signal and a touchdown for the Buckeyes football on BTN is presented by the unit United States Marine Corps the few the proud the Marines and brought to you by kih be ready with the proven leader visit k.com efficient [Applause] [Music] power 13 nothing after the failed two-point conversion for Ohio State but the buck guys in the first quarter of this season out scoring their opponent 81- 14 Red Zone today two for three and 12 of 13 on the season they were 10 for 10 heading into this week basil to kick it off BCE is back along with Owens and this one taken at the one and bringing it all the way back up as he spins around inside the 30 is James Owens let’s go back to that formation in the two-point conversion this isn’t the first time they did it but they put four men out here they put another four men out here he can either throw the ball to him throw the ball to him or G can run right up the middle and the other option if it’s not there he can call back and kick the extra point they thought they had it it didn’t work flaming on a hand off trying to get outside is Omari Albert the red shirt freshman from Orlando Florida and unable to do it as Noah Spen is there along with Ryan chir and Noah Spence has been playing some big time football here put him on the edge right there he turns it back to everybody I was really impressed a week ago with Noah Spence and Joey Bosa they couldn’t be knocked off their feet everybody’s trying to cut them they use their hands good athletic ability good players and the whistle is down Joey Bosa 97 the true freshman from fortdale off number 70 5yd peny it remains second down third penalty 20 yards for the Rattlers if you can’t find your game go to btn.com gamefinder right now to see where you can find it here from Ohio stadium in Columbus third ranked Ohio state with the lead over Florida A&M 13 to nothing Fleming fires and it’s batted down great pressure up front Chase Ferris there Ferris a sophomore what you’re seeing more and more in college football is defense alignment because they’re so tall that when they rush if they don’t come clean they put those big arms up awful hard for that quarterback to throw those intermediate routes with those big hands up there third down and long now it’s a defense that when you talk to uran am Meer and Luke fickle the co- defensive coordinator very concerned about the tackling and all the missed tackles last week at cat Fleming Under Pressure out of the pocket looking down field running out of time and he finds a receiver on a hookup with Dwayne Harvey but Harvey stopped by Cory Brown fifth year senior from Monroeville Pennsylvania and a pick up of seven well they gave up contained to Florida A&M but they’ve got a good enough Team Speed that they can recover where the quarterback couldn’t turn the corner I saw the coaches go right away they talked about the end goes inside someone’s going to come back outside basic principles last return for Philly Brown 65 yds here’s Kobe Bland Blandon this one is blocked and scooped back up by Blandon Doran Grant came in and smothered it and it’s collected by the Rattlers but Ohio state with the block well you see right here they got the first one they came it was a semi for snap it took the punter to the left but you have to block the man coming off the corner if the punter’s going to walk that way and the first punt for Kobe Bandon was shank because of the pressure of Grant Rod Smith here’s the running back Kenny gon last series an 11 yd strike to hman is tight end this time finds hman once again hman spinning around and he is brought down at the 70 yd line as Michael duree is there to make the stop in an 18yd hookup it’s interesting in talking to Tom Herman we’re talking about the tight ends here with the buck guys and he said I have two of them that are going to play on Sundays yeah I have two on Sunday they’re really good and I’m getting some criticism locally because we’re not throwing him the ball I don’t really care about that well he’s throwing it to him today he certainly is irman already with the touchdown here’s gon gon with all the time of the world fires to the end zone what a great catch by Evan Spencer in the back of the end zone the buck guys continue to roll here in the opening quarter well one of my favorite saying some guys make plays some guys don’t Kenny gon has proven he makes plays good protection credit the offensive line he’s got time Little Wheel route there by the inside receiver he breaks out then back up the field perfect pass touchdown Spencer first this season second of his career on the 8yd pass from Kenny G Big 10 offensive player of L we getting his second career start as Braxton Miller who is injured against San Diego State still waiting for his return more than likely next week against Wisconsin 20 nothing Buckey here in the opening quarter 20 nothing Ohio State over Florida A&M as he clouds starts to separate BTN football Ohio State third ranked Buckey against Florida a&n their first ever meeting and turning into a great day for football here in Columbus did you recognize that building CO the library I I thought you’d let it go hey that’s one of my favorite places I spent many many many hours in the [Applause] library it didn’t help much but I was there [Applause] Al Tariq MCB bur is back along with Owens and cutting it back up to the near side and out of bounds is Owens Ron Tanner on the tackle one of their great special teams players you look at the last three possessions for the Buckeyes as you would expect coach four plays three touchdowns that’s pretty good and of course they’ve had tremendous field position something that the Rattlers have it Vice is in the back field and another whistle and flags are down they’re really having trouble call start offense number 55 5yd penalty still first down Douglas almadas and it’s interesting in talking to Earl Holmes he said one of the things that when he met with his players and of course you know coach Holmes played at Florida A&M played in the NFL he said You know guys if you want to play on Sunday he said you get an opportunity on Saturday here in Columbus to see where you are as a player because you’re going to be looking across at guys that are going to be playing on Sunday so if you think you have that opportunity today is the day at least on an individual level to try to win that individual matchup I thought that was a great uh Point by coach Holmes and he the other thing he emphasized I want you to have fun and I just want you to play FNA Florida A&M football and no place to go this is an offense that has struggled mightily as mcbb bur is brought down there’s an Old Coach saying cliche that you got to control the line of scrimmage on both sides and when you look at Florida A&M they’ve got some skilled athletes but there’s a big difference between the offens and defensive lines of Florida A&M in Ohio State big match third and eight Fleming fires underneath and the pass is caught by MC bur and it’s going to bring up fourth down as Bryant comes in and makes the stop wide receivers coach Ernie Mills has been handling the OC duties over the last 3 weeks and there’s a great relationship between Damen Fleming and his quarterback coach and offensive coordinator Quinn Gray and you can see that not only here today because you would expect it but even last week against Sanford and against Tennessee State they have struggled mightily on offense planton this one angling and Philly Brown unable to return it as he runs out of bounds right at the 25 yd line all right let’s check in with Lisa Bon Lisa man watching Braxton Miller on the sideline he is constantly in and around the quarterbacks there has the headset on constantly and when I spoke to head athletic trainer Doug Callen he told me that he is sore because he had been so active this week more active than he had been since the injury and he needed to rest just a little bit he had do some pool workouts some rehab workouts they think he’s about 80 to 85% today they hope that he can be about 100% next weekend against Wisconsin the reigning Big 10 conference player of the year braxon Miller left knee sprain early in that game on September 7th and breaking to the outside is dant Wilson the true freshman from dto Texas and originally thought about heading to Eugene Oregon to play for the Oregon Ducks and then when Chip Kelly decided to take that Philadelphia Eagles head coaching job changed his mind and he’s a Bucky and they’re certainly pleased to have him as Rod Smith now is in the back field second down gon with time fires to Spencer and Spencer with a catch in the first down as Devonte Terry Johnson comes in and makes a STP 70 yard pickup for the Buckey let’s go back to dant Wilson one second number one when I watch film all of a sudden I get excited when a guy jumps off the screen at you you know and all of a sudden you look and say who is that guy number one dantrey Wilson is one of those guys unbelievable speed at the 37 yd line gon with Smith in the back field we have yet to see Carlos High who has been suspended the last three weeks and the catch is made by Philly Brown for a first down and a pick up of 18 as Jonathan pillow comes in a senior from Jacksonville Florida inside Rattler territory once again gon his numbers eight of 10 92 yd two touchdowns and one interception and a huge game last week at cow you can only imagine the day that he’s going to put up today against this defense broken up by Johnson intended for Philly Brown Matt we talked to Erb Meer yesterday one of the things he emphasized us was the tempo of his offense he wants to go faster I can tell you yeah they’re going fast today they’re calling the plays as probably as fast as I’ve ever seen him play gon the Big 10 offensive player of the week 21- 32 276 yds four touchdowns no interceptions also named the Walter Camp football Foundation offensive player of the week gon looks down field and his pass is reeled in and caught by Devin Smith five plays five passes that one for 11 yards the auto owners in turn starting defense for the Rattlers you see the name a blunt that is the son of Mel blunt Rod Smith and a nice open field tackle made by Patrick aen ail blunt from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania of course you remember his his father yeah who doesn’t remember Mel blun I played golf with him about two years ago in Pittsburgh and I kept looking at him and said you were a defensive back there’s no way you talk about a deep big defensive back wow and of course the connection between Pittsburgh and the Steelers and the head coach Earl Holmes and also the defensive coordinator Leon Kirkland in his first year hman once again and so the Buckeye faithful certainly happy here as a tight end being featured Jeff hman wide open and you know one of the things that Tom Herman told us he said if we go to hman then you know it’s going to take away from other players as well Cly want to mix everything up show their different looks and you see that even when they went for that two-point conversion an opportunity to try some different things out and provide a different look against this opponent coach BR Smith is a running back gon not an option gives it to Smith Smith is going to be coralled and brought down on that third down and short play Bobby Jackson to Michael duree there Bobby Jackson from Miami Florida and here comes Carlos Hyde and the reason for the Buckeye fans and their Applause number 34 Urban Meyer emphasized he’s back and he’s earned the right to come back he’s done everything they’ve asked of him for three weeks he was the scout team back he said he had to be the best scout team back in America said he’s third down on third on our depth chart but he’s not the third best running back and the reception once again from the Buckeye fans here is Carlos Hyde the straight up the middle the other thing Urban emphasized with Carlos Hyde running tough in there big strong guy is that he’s back but his teammates are happy and excited he’s back cuz they witnessed what he went through to earn the right to get back he said it’s a welcome back it’s not hey you’re back it’s hey you’re welcome back in this room cuz you went above and beyond HDE is the running back stays in to block provides gon some room and what a nice throw as he laid it out there for Devin Smith who was unable to make the overthe shoulder grab he laid it right out there and Dev Smith unable to reel it in yeah you talk about a big time receiver with great speed going over the top he should be able to catch it and you know Kenny G watch him here he steps up into the pocket to buy extra time so he can put the ball in the money that’s part of the quarterback responsibility Hyde remains in the game second down now and 10 G fires to Philly Brown and it’s going to bring up third down as Jonathan pillow comes in and makes a stop lard andm is a big Blitz team coming in this game over 70% blitzes and what happens why is the tight end getting the ball today more than L last week well because the blitz comes a lot of time he’s the hot receiver the quarterback’s got to get rid of it good day for the tight ends gon looking over Spencer and hman bottom of your screen Brown it’s mid top of your screen Carlos Hyde who ran for 970 yards last season season for the Buckeyes is the running back first down and a penalty marker is down delay of game offense 5yd penalty still first down 206 remaining here in this first quarter as fast as they’re running plays it’s almost unimaginable they can get a delay game there 13 of 14 in the Red Zone gon fires and the pass is incomplete to Devin Smith as Darren Parker was there the true freshman from Miami Booker T Washington High School yeah there was good coverage there because you know Devin Smith has got such great speed and he’s sitting on that route pretty good watch for high state to come back with an out and up to Devin Smith try to get the home run [Music] G underneath to Wilson the true freshman looking for space dancing around and down to the 10 yd line as Devon Roberts comes in in a pick up of [Music] eight dantree Wilson well you see Wilson they go to him on the fire screen they’re asking this young freshman to do a lot he plays the slot receiver he also plays running back utilize your talent empty back field third down G with plenty of time to the end zone and he was looking for Spencer and he threw behind him and it’s going to bring up fourth down we’ll get a great look at it here three man Rush good protection nobody in his Lane Ball’s just a little bit behind him it looked like Evan Spencer couldn’t get his feet set to get his hands on it missed opportunity senior from Houston Texas getting his second career start starting for heis foron Florida A&M with a timeout Earl Holmes trying to encourage his Rattlers here in Columbus Buckeyes with 109 remaining here in this first quarter it is fourth down Ohio State going for it here and understandably so gon fires underneath and Philly Brown unable to work his way into the end zone as Michael DPR comes in and gets his stop and it’s first down one might be surprised you say well why didn’t AIO State kick the field goal but her Meyer told us yesterday hey fourth down more of than not we’re going for it when we’re in our Zone 21 passes for the Buckey they have had two running plays gon he can run here if he wants to instead he fires right through Spencer hman was behind him and a flag is down gon could have walked into the end zone there pass interference Defense number four half the distance to the goal line automatic first down Terry Johnson I’m sure that Tom Herman the offensive coordinator will see this same thing right here Freeman Rush he could have walked up there they called pass interference but some place later watch for the quarterback draw down on the goal line Carlos Hyde and there’s the pitch and a touchdown for the Buckey well they run the shovel pass down on the goal line which is really safe because if he drops it it’s not a fumble it’s an incomplete pass that’s a staple and they really don’t have a goine offense they just have an Ohio State offense unless you see him go under Center which isn’t very often one yd pass the 24th touchdown for Carlos H in his career second receiving basil the extra point and it’s good 27 to nothing with 32 seconds remaining here in this first quarter and from the third best team in the land you would expect a first quarter like this coach yeah I love this place just a shovel pass again what this offense does it puts that defensive end in such a f if he closes G’s going to keep it around the corner he wides he’s going to just shovel it right back to the back and walk in the end zone Carlos Hyde must feel good to be in that end zone after sitting on the sidelines for three weeks suspended by his head coach Urban am my I’m telling I tell you what he’s glad about he’s glad to be off the scout team that’s what he’s glad you see the Chevrolet scoring Drive 16 play 75 y yard s second Team all big 10 last season hi bison Owens back that’s James Owens basil they kick it [Applause] off Owens takes it at the three Owens pass it 15 pass it 20 25 and finally wrapped up and brought down at the 30 EV

got to find a way to get a first down to keep their defensive team off the field get some field position mice in the back field here’s Fleming Under Pressure Joey BOS was right there this pass is picked off and heading down the sideline Bradley Roy Roby shoved out of bounds his first interception of the Season sixth of his career swanie Georgia the junior a 42 yd return well there’s just too much pressure on Damen Fleming the quarterback he just throwing that ball I don’t know if he’s trying to throw it out of bounds or no way could he have seen the receiver if you’re going to throw it out of bounds you got to throw it up to throw 10 great job up front with the pressure by the Buckeyes 17 seconds remaining here in this first quarter Hyde is the running back gon with time to the end zone touchdown Buckey as Devin Smith reels it in with Patrick aen there and they’re separated as Patrick aen a little bit of frustration by the sophomore from pbrook Pines Florida as Smith gets his touchdown this season 14th of his career is giden good around the goal line throw except with that one interception there but you know when you’re going to throw the ball down there as a coaching staff you got first and goal wherever you are there you have to have a lot of confidence in your quarterback to make the right decision make the right [Music] throw Ohio State put up 52 last week at Berkeley they put up 34 here in the first quarter what number will they get to today Kenny gon with another touchdown pass 17 to 23 100 and 44 yards four touchdowns and an interception W what a great pass and I mentioned I talked to Kenny gon yesterday when I sat down rever my wanted me to talk to him and I’ll tell you what I was impressed with he looked me Square in the eye he had a big smile on his face and when I wanted to talk about him being the Big 10 offensive player week he didn’t want to hear anything about it it came through loud and clear to me as a former coach it’s not about him it’s about the Ohio State Buckey it’s about his teammates and it’s about winning football at a high State not Kenny G high expectations here for urban Meer perfect 12 and0 last year they’ve won 15 in a row under his Helm and the sun now shining brightly here in Columbus B said the MC bur are back for the Rattlers after a cloudy morning a rain filled morning and this one taken by MC bur right at the goal line he’ll bring it out and there’s a flag down to MCB burst tackled from behind and another flag is down here typically when those flags come out it’s always on the return [Music] team during the return holding return team number six at the distance of the goal line Florida keeps the ball first down this is last week Kenny G his first career start coach well yeah but you know this isn’t the first time he’s playing he’s come off the bench a number of times for AIO state in pressure situations a year ago they have complete confidence in this guy he knows the offense he’s got unbelievable leadership qualities the guys a winner flaming fires it up top out on an island no to go as that’s the end of the first quarter Ryan jir comes in and makes a stop on James Owens that’s the end of the first quarter it’s been all Buckey as you would expect here for the third rank Ohio State of Buckey at home against Florida in their first ever meeting Carlos Hyde is back getting a touchdown there 34 nothing as we begin the second quarter Damen Fleming here’s the quarterback Omari Albert the running back and stacked up at the 10 yd line as Curtis Grant and Joe hail are there on the stop for Albert this is a Florida A&M team that is certainly overmatched and you look at their total offensive yards 27 in the first quarter 150 for the buck guys but you would expect it and Coach you you kind of get into that territory of there’s a delicate balance out there well there is and you know Irvin Meyer he’s the type of guy he doesn’t want to embarrass another football player another program he’s got to care take care of his team first Damen Fleming Under Pressure wrapped up and brought down and a great job by Chase Ferris as he’s able to record the sack but there’s only so much you can do as a coach because you can’t tell the players that you’re putting on the field to ease up they got to go hard there’s only one play to play this game and it’s full speed so all of a sudden you get to a position and starts thinking about it some things you do probably more on what kind of plays you’re calling in certain situations to feel go for it on Fourth and now you probably punt it those type of things from his end zone kobby Bland and this one bounces out of bounds and Philly Brown unable to collect it the point I was just trying to make there normally punting in that position on the field Urban Meyer probably would have called a punt block no they went with the punts they let him get the ball off they got great field position but they didn’t block it for a touchdown and you know as a coach on the other side and I’ve been there many times when a coach takes that approach you really appreciate it today’s United States Marine Corps leader of the game Kenny gon elected team captain third most votes Urban Meyer was telling us tells you about the personality in the makeup of the young man Jordan Hall cuts it back up spins away from one would be tackler and now wrapped up and a brought down by the Rattlers Helms is there Matthew Caleb Helms that’s that’s an excellent point when you get the third most votes from your teammates to be captain of your football team and you’re not the starter that’s almost unheard of his nickname is coach so’s mine and the coach and the coach gave it to him though here’s gon gon fires underneath to his tight end and that’s Nick vanet and Roberts with the tackle and a pick up of 12 let’s send it down to Lisa Bon Lisa man Urban Meers certainly has seen the extremes of Kenny G he likes to tell the story in Ohio State fans know the story of when he first came in in January and her Meer kicked him off the team and then he had to prove to him that he wanted to be back on Coach Meer saying that he shed a few tears and basically the difference in a month you could see it in two months you could even feel it he wasn’t committed to Excellence now he is just nonstop football three wide receivers top of your screen Hall is a running back G on a hand off and an excellent job by the Rattlers Michael Lovejoy comes right in and stops him you know it’s funny it’s funny the turns you take in football Lisa talked about he thrown off the team he shed a few tears and urban gave him another chance and if he didn’t shed tears urb didn’t give another chance maybe Urban had the tears now because he’s an outstanding football player gon connected with Devin Smith for a School record 90 yd touchdown to pass last week on his second throw of the game this one is deflected and incomplete Denmark got a piece of it let’s send it to our BTN Studios and Dave rson big happenings Iowa City Matt kavante Martin Manley the first punt return touchdown for the Hawkeyes in 5 years they didn’t have to wait that long for the second he just did it again two in one game it’s 2 point nothing Iowa Iowa off to a great start as well the Hawkeyes gon on Third and 12 gon looks downfield steps up fires over the middle and the the pass is intercepted and there is a flag down as pillow gets the interception in the pass intended for Chris Fields might call defensive holding here holding Defense number four 10yd penalty automatic first down Terry Johnson well here going to see the slot man going right up the field there he’s guarding him and they’re going to lay the ball up oh he’s grabbing him right there and it’s just a step I don’t think gon saw the free safety but that would cause the interception hand off here’s hall Hall running toward the end zone touchdown Buckey well it was well blocked and Hall had a stiff arm himself into the end zone he stiff armed the Umpire and knocked him down that’s a tough place to be for that umpire it is and gon immediately went over to the Umpire to see if he was okay here it is right here as the umpire’s trying to get out of the way and he is run over by Jonathan pillow and then G immediately the coach Coach G immediately went over to the Umpire to see if he was okay 40 to nothing bezo comes on it’s now 41 to nothing and an 18yd touchdown run for Jordan [Music] Hall oh Bucky everything you expected coming into this [Music] game college football on BTN is brought to you at a part by Jack ly’s beef jerky the search for Sasquatch is on at Big 10 Stadium throughout the 2013 college football season log on to jacklinks.com to see actual footage of sasquat roaming around your favorite Big 10 campus MCV is back as is BCE to Basil the kick [Applause] off and this one sent through the end zone over the head of MCB bur and some of the best field position for the rers coming up right here and this is a defense we talked about the lack of tackling a concern and you talk to Urban Meer about what they do every week they put the pads on they hit they tackle and he said that was certainly the case on Tuesday of this week and he really liked what he saw out of his team this past Tuesday well the good thing about it they missed a lot of tackles in a win against Cal but that got everybody’s attention and you can go and really coach guys hard when you’re coming off a win rers without a first down and this pass is collected and caught by Felix and Felix looks like he may have lost a yard maybe got back to the line of scrimmage that fire screen that Florida is running that’s the play that Cal heard Ohio State last week a number of times and they worked hard on triggering and retracing their steps on that play obviously they did a great job in practice Ohio State and has how to play that play now Vice is the running back Fleming and a handoff to viice and bison transfer from Clemson is stopped by Chris Carter and there were glowing remarks from the coaches about Chris Carter losing about 60 lb Cleveland Ohio native they said this isn’t just a big offensive line in playing defense this guy can really play as a young guy he got his weight under control and now heran Meyer said last week he played like 30 plays he said a year ago he couldn’t have walked with 30 plays he’s going to be a force here coming down the road said they want to see consistency out of him said he was close to being shown the door if he didn’t commit to it under pressure Fleming fires to the high side and the pass is caught by Vice but there is Christian AB Bren right there as the third ranked Buckey 41 to nothing they lead here I think that Florida andm would be better suited to run a draw play or just a run play on Third and long because on Third and long Ohio state they’re just dialing up a blitz or the defensive lineman are just pinning their ears back and coming and they just can’t handle that type of [Music] Rush Fields his back for Ohio State and he’s leaving around saying do not come close to it as the AAS Bucky lead 41 to nothing this October btn’s award-winning original series is back it’s the show with an unprecedented look inside the Big 10 season the journey Big 10 football 2013 presented by best pass by premier’s October 9th [Music] BTN the quarterback hi to Carlos Hyde in his first game back after three- game suspension the running back and he lowers his shoulders and runs Straight Ahead in a pick up of four for Carlos Hyde this is really important for Carlos Hyde to get some playing time today he’s been on the scout team but as we know Wisconsin’s on the schedule next week and you don’t want a rusty running back coming there that hasn’t been hit hasn’t had some live work going into that game H we’ll get it once again spinning away from Bobby Jackson H as I mentioned a year ago 970 yd rushing an average of 5.2 per carry 16 rushing touchdowns he had four against Nebraska you can see a little frustration on his part when he spun and he lost his feet he knew if he could have kept his balance a lot more yards I three carries for nine yards it’s third down now in three empty back field for g g with all the time he needs now out of the pocket he’s going to run for it and G with Denmark closing in and it’s going to move the change it’s interesting in talking to Urban Amer about the identity of this team and you look at the offense he said look it continues to evolve he said I want to play really fast but balance 250 on the ground 250 in the air he said the passing game has been a little bit inconsistent he said this past weekend however at Cal he said everybody graded out high and part of the main reasons the wide receivers big run here by Carlos highy before Johnson he able to wrap up and stop him he wanted to get outside on his fourth carry that one for 11 yards well he wasn’t really happy with his Blocker on the perimeter you saw he said something to him I think he thought the guy the defensive man was going to be pinned inside and that’s why he jumped outside as we continued on to talk about the identity every great team in any sport as you will know every team’s got an identity who are you and he said about the defense he said it’s not what I expect here’s H once again bounces off of a w be tack now inside the 20 with a great as Roberts finally wraps him up and brings him down in a pick up of 21 for Carlos Hy well we talked about Jordan Hall before he’s 59 191 lb while Carlos Height’s a little bigger now he’s 6 235 he got those big legs and he gives that power run up the middle that they really [Applause] need first and 10 Rod Smith is the running back hand off here’s Smith straight ahead right up the middle as he grinds it out and gets to the 15 and aille blunt son of Mel blunt comes in from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania the more to make the stop well Florida and him they play a three four defense three down lineman and we’re talking to Tom Herman and so much of the highest state attack is that power option or blast play as they call it and that’s pretty good against defending that power blast but how do you stop the dive up the middle they’re having problems fire to vanet the tied end and right through the fingertips Kenny gon got that ball out there in a hurry watch this watch this release he gets it out there right where irin Meyer wants it right ahead of the receiver so he can catch it and not miss a step going down field that would have been a big play with time G to the end zone touchdown Buckeye once again as Chris Fields reels it in gon ties a School record with five passing touchdowns you know you talk about everybody rating winning records all these receivers cuz they don’t know who’s going to get the ball Kenny G’s not going to predetermine it whoever’s open he’s going to throw it to it nine different Buckeye receivers as skon now with five touchdowns five touchdowns and that’s what Bobby Hing did twice John Borton once from Mass Ohio by the way and here it is out of Houston Texas Kenny gon in the record books for the Buckeyes Chris Fields a reception third ranked Ohio State Buckeyes lead the Rattlers of Florida A&M 48 to nothing Owens and aice are back for the Rattlers we talked about the delicate balance you don’t score enough then everybody looks at say well hey gez if you score two months and everybody looks at you like well you did a little bit too much there but they can easily score at will here today and I think everybody coming in kind of expected that remember you have the defending Big 10 Champs in Wisconsin next week and really the mindset to get ready for next week and Braxton Miller that’s going to be a key you know a Heisman hopeful coming in fifth last year in the voting injured against San Diego State early in that first quarter and you have gon I mean how many how many schools out there have somebody that can come in and do what a Kenny G has done not many if any and obviously Kenny gon is playing terrific but let’s not forget Braxton Miller is really something special this team is better with a healthy raxton Miller Rattler’s 19 plays 24 yards well Miller just an outstanding job he’s only 133 yds away from breaking the alltime record as ethd he is tackled by Roy 13 yds away from surpassing Cornelius green and the alltime rusher for a quarterback here at Ohio State and we saw Cornelius yesterday great to see him great to see him obviously a tremendous football player but even a better person you know it’s fun being around guys like that he just lights up the room when he walks in doesn’t it I mean it’s just Omari Albert no longer in the back field it’s Lamont bison B trying to get outside the transfer from Clemson corny Green’s got that big smile on his face and you know you just talk to him you can’t help but feel better about yourself then you start reflecting back to those good old days when he was playing back in 73 that championship team is here today A lot of his teammates are here it’s a special time certainly is first first down for the Rattlers of course the tiebreaker that 1973 team undefeated team the last undefeated the fifth and final undefeated team for Woody Hayes your former head coach and of course you worked for him and BTN as Bice runs the ball off tackle and is stopped by Christian o Bren they have a documentary coming out called tiebreaker it examines that memorable 1973 Ohio State of Michigan 101 tie a controversy that follow that would change college football forever well at least Chang the Big 10 forever let’s you know let’s face it uh what a great game that was it seems like yesterday I can’t believe it was that long ago second down and long second and [Music] eight to the near side of the pass is caught by MCB MC burst the ER from Purdue as tyus pal comes in freshman from Bedford Ohio and Cory Brown are there and tiebreaker coming this season what happens when college football’s most storied rivalry isn’t decided on the field don’t miss tiebreaker BTN original coming later this fall Bo didn’t look too happy there in the sideline did he huh his hat down like that no he did not third down now for the Rattlers and of course that was in between your playing days here at Ohio State and when you returned as an assistant coach I think of 73 year at Aly college or is a Ball State at Aly College the old Gators up there but hey it’s here are it’s 1973 High State’s undefeated they’re playing up at Michigan Ohio State dominates the first half they go in at halftime 10 nothing then Michigan comes back the second half totally dominates it 20 n yards to 91 yards for the Buckeyes and Mike lantry tries a 58 yd field goal and it misses highest state gets the ball back great haran playing quarterback he throws an interception that gives Michigan another chance will be Blandon back to Chris Fields Fields takes it at the Seven Fields looking for a seam and he is stopped right at the 15 yd line by George Maxi coming in and of course 1973 coach hey watch it here come and this rivalry is not intense enough here come the Buckey and they’re going to tear down the GL the gold blue Banner can you believe that at the big house yeah so now all of a sudden Here Comes Bo and his guys they come out they say where’s the banner where is it they don’t know what to do Mo get hey we got to go touch our Banner but like I said here it is lantry misses the 58 yard field goal great hair comes in he’s the passing quarterback he throws an interception that gives Michigan another chance Drive the ball they try a field goal from the 45 yd 45 yd field goal and missed 10 10 time hand off to Rod Smith Rod Smith with room pass the 30 35 and finally tackled by Bobby Jack at the 40 yd line and John Ojo also there 26 yd gain let me finish up about that 73 game we get a little excited so anyway now it’s going to go to an athletic rter boat Dennis Franklin the Michigan quarterback broke his collar bone in the game I guess the ads thought that that would give AIO State a better chance to winning the Rose Bowl they voted Ohio State high State went the Rose Ball deep southern C the rest is history yes and if you’re Ohio State you love the history and if you’re Michigan you don’t no well you know it brought a change around in the big change about in the Big 10 that was needed before that you could only go to the Rose Bowl you couldn’t go two years in a row and all of a sudden Michigan had those great teams and like for four years never went to a ball game all changed with 206 remaining here in the first half the ban getting ready as they take their spot along the perimeter of the field here at Ohio stadium it is 48 to nothing G with time fires to the near side and the pass is complete to de of course dein Smith with that 90 yd touchdown play for an Ohio State the record back in 19 79 and 86 yard to catch Cal Murray that’s the record that he broke yeah he broke the record 86 yd touchdown pass sleer to Cal Murray let me just tell you something it was a foury dump off a playaction pass and Cal Murray ran the other 82 Big Time play G on a hand off BR Smith cuts to the outside Smith now back cuts into the inside and down at the 35 yd line who called that play well I called that play I was there and I taught Cal Murray how to catch that ball and make a move and go the distance and well you thought it would be about what you’re hoping for what five five six yards you know every once in a while you look out hey you see uh that run that last run there by Rod Smith let me just tell you something that dancing that might work against Florida ANM I guarantee every remind saying hey you get going north and south gon has connected with nine different receivers that one intended for Fields Buffalo Wild Wings halime Report with Dave rson the coach and Howard and of course we’ll have highlights from around the Big 10 the Gophers trying to go 4 and0 and then after afternoon preview what’s coming up later tonight of course Missouri and Indiana Ezekiel Elliot In The Back Field the true freshman from St Louis [Music] Missouri fires underneath to Wilson and that play going nowhere for the Buckeyes as William Smalls comes in Matt you keep calling off of names of running backs getting in this back field at Ohio State that’s field is crowed but let me tell you that’s a good thing you know there’s so much competition there Urban Meer was saying you can’t believe how hard these guys practice because they know there’s another guy to take their place six deep at running back gon making time for himself and he fires to the near side and the pass is caught Mitchell there with the reception another point that should be made in defense of Florida A&M you know schools at that level they only have 63 scholarships y schools like AIO State they’ve got 85 so that’s a big disadvantage Mitchell on the reception a sophomore from Cleveland Ohio five wide receivers here’s G gon looks down field fires and the tight end reels it in Nick and aille blunt is there and 22 seconds remaining here and the clock still running 48 nothing gon screaming out the play G with time pump F now fires wide open TouchDown for the Buckeyes Evan Spencer a 15yd touchdown reception for Spencer when you give a quarterback that much time he’s going to find someone but when someone’s that wide open it’s got to be a coverage bus by Florida andm second touchdown of the day for Spencer you recruited his father Tim yeah Timmy Spencer was a great running back here at Ohio State that went on to pro football one of my favorite guys that I ever recruited or coached just a gentleman gon with a new Buckeye record six touchdown passes and look at the offensive line all over there you see braon of Miller will he be ready to go next week against the Wisconsin Badgers here’s Kenny gon looking around looking for a record he’s got it in Spencer 55 nothing most first half points coach since 1995 for the buck that was against Iowa 56 points Spencer with his second touchdown this season Kenny gon with a School record six touchdown passes and folks all here in the first half he threw three touchdowns in the first six minutes another game last week at Cal of course he threw for four on the day led the Buckeyes offense to a threeyear best 68 yd of offense most ever under an urban Amer Buckeye team 608 today 326 for kick off out of bounds the ball was touched by the receiving team first Out 3 seconds remaining here in the first half we mentioned that when talking to athletic director Dean Smith that originally it was Vanderbilt on the schedule which led them to the Florida A&M game when Vanderbilt backed out they had to shuffle the lineup early on in the season they went to Grambling first really one of the Bands here and of course unfortunately for Florida A&M the hazing incident there suspension of that band they now brought back in unfortunate certainly for FL to A&M that situation 55 nothing offense number 55 5yd peny still first down when you think of the Dilemma that Jean Smith the athletic had vanderville bows out late and they’ve got to find a home game so that you know that cuts half the the schools in the country out of it you know you got to find a home game and someone that’s available and they might have to get out of a game because of a big payday yes MCB bur is brought down and first half comes to a close 55 nothing Ohio State putting up 55 points it’s the second to most in the FBS this season Baylor had 56 first half points in the 73 victory over buffalo on September 7th [Music] [Music] 55 to nothing third ranked Ohio State Buck guys

third ranked Ohio State Buckey lead Florida A&M 55 to nothing in the first half Kenny gon getting his second career start coach six touchdowns through the air that is a School record for the Buckey great half for Ohio State and great half for Kenny G he picked up right left off last week against Cal and made it even better all right let’s check out the first half highlights brought to you by planers well here’s Kenny gon on his first touchdown throw to Jeff hman the tight end then he’s going to come back a little out and up and he’s going to find Evan Spencer good throw good catch now they got Carlos Hyde in the action will shovel pass in the end zone dein Smith the big play guy F rout to the end zone to Perfection he’s going to find a wide open Chris fields and now he’s going to go back all the time in the world he’s going to find K Spencer again six touchdowns Kenny gon 24 of 31 he does have an interception 215 yards six touchdowns a buckeye record let’s send it to Lisa Byington Lisa guys I talked to both coaches in starting with Florida A&M’s Earl Holmes he basically was not happy with this team and how easy they were making it for Ohio State in this first half guys the buck guys six of their nine drives beginning in Florida A&M territory as for uran Meyer he said he wanted a fast start he got the fast start I asked him how do you keep this team’s focused he said hey these guys are fighting for spots you watch how focused and the kind of fight they have in the second half second half underway and I think that’s one of the things when you talk to Urban me about this program we reference rule the ball is placed at the 35 yd line Ohio State first down the depth that run running back he said you know there’s some areas on this team where he wants to see more competitivness out of his team and certainly linebacking core is one of them he said Mike vel’s done a phenomenal job with the defensive line for the Ohio State Buck guys he said yeah they’re young but they’re talented and they’re coming on like Gang Busters and you talked about state background with Woody Hayes either you’re getting better you’re getting worse you don’t stay the same Cale Jones at a Glendale High School in Cleveland Ohio went to Fork Union Military Academy he is the quarterback 65250 red shirt freshman he sted by Bobby Jacks for an injured Ohio State player player down for the Buckeyes see Florida A&M in their training St racing out to help out and it’s true freshman James Clark New samna Beach Florida who is down as the Buckey’s lead 55 to nothing just underway here in the third quarter a true freshman being attended to working on the left leg as they attend to James Clark let’s take a look at the quick and Loans QB comparison and dominated by Kenny gon as you would expect all fairness to Damen Fleming we talked about the youth the mismatch offensive line of Florida A&M the defensive line that’s really coming on for Ohio State and he hasn’t had much time he’s had a lot of pressure they’ve never got their offense into syn uh it’s been a long half it might be even a longer day for Damen Fleming you see Kenny gon there with huge numbers and of course braxon Miller the school record 3,310 total yards a season ago his completion rate for Braxton Miller down at 58.3% and something that he must improve upon something that we talked to Urban of a about and he said look at we need to get that thing up to around 70% spent a lot of time working on his mechanics during the summertime really feels that he’s made tremendous strides in that category as they continue to work on the true freshman James Clark the Ohio State abcy wide receiver with his head coach Urban Amer there true freshman James Clark he take it off of the field here at Ohio Stadium from new samna Beach Florida this is what happened at the end of the play you see the Freshman Jones and then get SC up on one of the things that Ur wants to see from his wide receiving Court as a former wide receiver wide receiver coach is you got to block you have to it’s a must Ezekiel Elliott is the running back straight ahead bounces outside and Elliot into Rattler territory D mark with the stop here is Jones 65 250 coach well it’s really important that they have room in this game to get this young guy some playing experience because who knows if Braxton Miller will be back next week he may have to be the backup and when you’re a backup you’re one play away from playing hand off once again to Elliot Elliot pass the 40 yd line and a pick up of nine as Michael duree comes in on the stop well we’re getting a a good look at Ezekiel Elliott and you talk about a guy that hit the whole fast you know speed is what makes offense it’s it’s important in all defense but speed in this spread offense is so important Jones as a quarterback starting quarterback and Cleveland Glenville was 24 and3 he passed for 1,689 yards and 22 touchdowns as a senior in 2011 for Coach Ted gin and was named 13 division one all state by the AP and then he went to Fork Union well the program that Ted gin SE is built up there of course Ted gin Jr played here for Ohio State and the number of players that are coming out of that program is just unbelievable straight up the middle and love joy is there on the stop Elliot getting yards on the ground as three carries for 19 yards as Michael Lovejoy the sophomore from Pensacola Florida is on the scene Urban Meer to him about the identity we mentioned how wants to be fastpac balance 250 on the ground 250 in the air but that defense not being tested today they’ll be tested next week against Wisconsin that is for sure Jones coming the other way Jones trying to stay on his feet and he is wrapped up and brought down by blunt along with Francis ma see what a learning opportunity for this Young quarterback they had a third and short and he took a bad play and rather making it as good as he could he made it worse by reversing field and lo losing even more yards fourth down and three now they are three for three on fourth down Buckeyes entering this game 28th in FBS in total offense fourth in the Big 10 here’s Jones Jones looking for some help picking up a block Jones down at the 20 yd line as he is brought down by Kanan Butler pretty good run for a guy that’s 65 250 lbs he goes back there he’s got all the time in the world he often running I thought he might the Ball but makes a nice move Cuts back gets the first down locks the ball up good play this is an offense that is second in the conference behind Wisconsin in rushing offense and scoring offense they are second only to Indiana Indiana averaging right around 50 Ohio State entering this game 44.7 in a hand off getting outside is Elliot stretched out wrapped up and brought down Neil Cunningham Richard freshman there along with ail blunt getting the Ohio State Buck guys have been an awfully good offensive team the last two years getting points in the Red Zone especially touchdowns it’s a proud rler program they have produced NFL players and think about Bullet Bob Hayes going back Ken Riley was there hand off Elliot bounces outside Elliot into the end zone for a touchdown the true freshman from St Louis Missouri Ezekiel Elliot his first career touchdown for the [Applause] buckas that put a smile on Urban Meyer’s face why wouldn’t Kyle Clinton in for Drew basil to kick the extra point is good 61 to nothing 6′ 218 lb true freshman Elliot bounces outside sees the end zone touchdown Buckeyes today at 3:30 you’ll see either Penn State host Kent State Nebraska and South Dakota state or main at Northwestern this afternoon presented by John Deere on BTN to BTN to go go to btn.com SL gamefinder to find the game available in your region Kenny gon is back in for the Ohio State Buckeyes and Buckeyes at Their Own 10yd Line Elliot is the running back gon back in and a hand off to Elliot and Elliot spinning and brought down at the 16 yd line are you surprised that he’s brought back in or you think that maybe field position kind of dictated it for urban Meer there I’m surprised that he’s back in there when you start talking about 62 to nothing this game is well into control Kenny gon has played Bell well I thought you’d see Jones probably the rest of the way gon looking over better than 3,000 fans here Warren ball is the red shirt freshman from right here in Columbus Ohio he is a running [Music] back gon on a handoff ball ball straight ahead and Ball’s going to pick up the first down sto by William hels you know Matt you talked about game getting out of control and I can already see that Urban Meers doing what he can he talked about Tempo he wanted fast tempo they’re slowing this game down they are not going fast tempo in fact they’re even huddling right now they’re going to try to milk as much time off the clock probably run the ball not exclusively run the ball they’re going to run the offense but it’s not going to be a Full Speed Ahead attack now of course you’re on that 1970 National Championship team coach and you brought back here by Woody Hayes in 1978 on an inside handoff a great run by ball for another first round before pillow comes up and a pick up of 12 yards and this is in the building Woody’s final thoughts yeah this is one of the favorite things every time I come back I go look at it this was the chalkboard in the rooc building after what he wasn’t coaching anymore and he was working on another book he was a great military historian he was trying to draw a parallel between military history and Ohio State football Elliot In The Back Field 1977 you’re an assistant at Illinois and of course you get the call from Woody Hayes to come back to Ohio State getting to the outside side is Elliot Elliot with room Elliot at the 2520 Elliot caught from behind inside the 10 yd line Doraville brings him down after a 57 yd run I now can see what Ur Meer says the competition at running back they have no problems in practice they have a lot of talent these guys are fighting for reps the way you fight for reps in Ur Myers AIO State program is you practice awful hard seven carries 10 and2 yds 62 to nothing gon the quarterback out of the shotgun Elliot remains in the game here’s Elliot Straight Ahead bounces outside Elliot his second touchdown of the game and the flag is [Applause] down well I would guess it’s holding holding offense number 33 10yd penalty it’s still first down 62 to nothing there’s a holding right there yeah when you’re a wide reer blocking you got to stay Square once your shoulders turned there’s nothing to keep you from that Defender beating you up field and that’s why he had a hold of him Elliot on a handoff straight ahead the other thing too nothing tricky out of the Ohio State Buckey Everything Is Right Between the tackles well as we mentioned before a number of times that’s a a urban as a class guy and he knows what it’s like to be not recently but he knows what it’s like to be on that other sideline when all of a sudden the game’s out of control and believe me as a coach you have a lot of compassion for guys in that situation you have compassion for the other football players on the team you never really want to embarrass another coach another team you got a lot of respect for your opponents second and goal all 15 Ohio State plays this half have then on the ground handoff now getting outside here’s Elliot Elliot into the end zone no Flags Elliot second touchdown of the game a 13 yd [Applause] Run 10 carries 121 yards Ezekiel Elliot Kyle Clinton comes for the extra point out of Dublin [Music] Ohio and Earl Holmes knew that today was going to be a tough one for his Rattlers 69 to nothing with 226 remaining in the third now check out this block by number 81 right there Nick benette the tight end from Westerville Ohio look at that block he took his man all the way to the end zone coach in 1978 your first year as an assistant here Woody Hayes Infamous for those coaches meetings but I can tell you one thing in George choms here he was the quarterback coach he warned me before my first staff meeting he said Monday you’re going have your first staff meeting Woody always makes an example out of the new coach so watch out he’s going to ask you a question you’ll have no idea for so get ready well I studied that whole weekend I studied my players their courses their phone numbers their family their girlfriends I had cheat sheets I had things written on my hand I said he’s not going to get me went through the whole meeting and at the end of the meeting he started telling the story and he stopped and looked at me and he said that’s just what happened at Mount sarach and he said what happened at Mount sarach I said I got no idea he looked at George CHP he said tell him he says that’s where they raised the flag on EO gima he looked at me and said don’t you ever forget it he got me he certainly did as Patrick aen like there for a little bit you thought you made it through the meeting without being called upon well there’s a lot of guys that thought they were smarter than coach Hayes uh-uh no he probably saw my cheat sheets or saw me studying that weekend and he figured well I’ll get him on something he got me now sarach I you know so many times throughout the course of a week we talk about Ohio State and your your time here at Ohio State and working for the legendary Woody Hayes and I can’t tell you how many times you talked about the graveyard of coaches before Woody Hayes came here well I wish I could tell you about my first team meeting as a freshman but it’s uh it was very memorable that I’ll never forget that had a great impact on my coaching life Carson Royal he’s a new quarterback MC trying to bounc it outside and Cory Brown is there to caral him all right let’s send it down to Lisa Bingington Lisa yeah a quick update on quarterback Cardell Jones he had a laceration of his throwing hands so he went into the locker room they’re going to put in a couple stitches for him actually Ohio state is not ruling out his return here for today even with the stitches on his throwing hand guys and the reason why that you saw Kenny gon come back in Jones un Ely the laceration it is second and 11 Carson Royal is the quarterback rure freshman from Jacksonville Florida Bice is the running back trying to get outside is Bice and the 69 to nothing game well you know you see the guys on the field right now and they’re getting a lot of playing time which is great for morale but you got to remember let’s go back irvan Meer was not happy with the performance of his defense in terms of Miss tackles and if you don’t think that whole defense wasn’t coached hard and they expect he they know the coaches expect to see the Improvement who’s ever on the field doesn’t matter if you’re a first teer second teamer or third teamer Rattlers one for nine on third down remember no adus Washington out for the second consecutive week wrapped up and a brought down Ferris had an excellent game he is there as Chase Ferris comes in and makes the stop along with Steve Miller Ferris with a sack on this day one of the problems you have when you get a game like this and you literally substitute then all of a sudden you go into a kicking down right here and you got to get the right people on the field and none of those first or second team defensive players got to get back up and go again you just don’t Subs all the way down third and 14 in kicking game Chris Fields is standing at the 40 band the kick spiraling and taken at the 35 Fields looking for some room it wrapped up and brought down just shy of the 45 yd line tonight in prime time we close out our night with a big 10 SEC battle when the hoers host Missouri coverage at 8:00 Eastern presented by Buick on BTN and BTN to go 6 seconds remaining here in the third and the hooers taking on of Missouri that’s tonight at 8:00 Eastern on BTN and you see some of the story lines there offense number one one in points in the Big 10 inside handoff yeah Kelvin wil Kevin Wilson the head coach down in Indiana they’ve got that hoer offense just humming this year Jayla Marshall on the carry and that’s the end of the third all Buckeyes here in Columbus Ohio as they tune up for next week and the Wisconsin Badgers come to Ohio stadium Ezekiel Elliot two rushing touchdowns on the day for the Buckeyes as they lead 69 nothing 69 to nothing as we enter the fourth quarter here from Ohio stadium third ranked Buckey with the lead gon on a hand off to ball straight ahead Neil Cunningham comes in earlier in the week Urban de Meer talking about you know Braxton Miller and Kenny gon he was asked about could you envision both of them playing at the same time he said you know it’s in the conversation right now but one of the things he talked about he said if you can buy stock buy stock in Kenny gon and I think that had more to do with just who he is as an individual and a person well you can tell that Urban Meyers taking great pride in developing Kenny that’s a big part of coaching to see how guys change he didn’t get off to the right foot with Urban Meyer and now he’s one of his favorite Players Ball Warren ball turns it back up inside the John Deer gamechanging performance you see the numbers they have stuck to the ground here in the second half it is fourth and short and coming out to punt in this situation and of course on this day this is their first punt Cameron Johnston The Freshman Terry Johnson is back for the Rattlers and over and fair catch at the 14 yd line it is is 69 to nothing I could you mentioned end end overend punt I could tell by the drop he wanted the ball to do that because he didn’t want it to bounce through the end zone he wanted to be down inside there we were talking earlier in the week to Earl Holmes and he was speaking about his great relationship with Mike Fel the defensive line coach of the Ohio State of Buckey they played together in the NFL Pittsburgh they sat next to one another in the meeting rooms and he said during that time this is funny they said that they would go back in fourth about all the great players from the Buckeyes and then the Rattlers and he said it was just always great and they formed a great Bond and of course still friends to this day in fact Mike brael helped him pick out his wife’s wedding ring now that’s a good friend huh that is a good friend at least you have a lot of trust in brael to do that absolutely maybe he knew that brael or maybe he thought brael had better taste than he did he said well you know I need a little bit of help along the way and Earl Hong said it was great just to talk about the history of the Rattlers with Mike Rael and he he would throw out a player from Ohio State he goes I’d throw out a player from the rers go back and forth and of course Earl Holmes played in the NFL as we met played with the Browns and you see the Steeler connection they sat next to each other in the meetings yeah when we brought up Mike vel’s name you can tell the conversation lit up there’s a lot of respect between those two guys and Mike Vel great player here at Ohio State great Pro Player now he’s a great defensive line coach doing great things with these young players no quarterback in the game aari Albert the freshman will take the direct snap and looking for the Run little bit of Wildcat here out of the Rattlers Jamal Marcus comes in and makes the stop sophomore from Durham North Carolina there is a Steeler connection down at Tallahassee yeah there is you see all those guys there they got a pro influence Leon Kirkland Ernie Mills aille blunt the player and you know let’s not forget one thing the defense for the Steelers dick laau Hall of Famer was a great player here at Ohio State goes from Ohio State the Pro Football I forget how many interception was unbelievable and how about that pun as it rolls all the way down to the 2yd line by Colby lanton a 78 yard punt it is 69 nothing Buckeye [Music] you see the Mt on the back of the helmet of the Buckeyes that is in memory of Maria tber who is daughter of longtime Columbus sports broadcaster Dom tberry who’s also a longtime friend and supporter of the university in athletic department Maria died in a car accident in this past Tuesday Jones is back in at quarterback and Elliot straight through the middle yeah I I was absolutely shocked when I got that news Dom has been a great fan friend he’s you know been with wbns10 TV for over 30 years and uh besides being great at what he does you talk about one of the truly great people that I know great family what a tragic loss losing a child I know he’s devastated our heart our soul prayer everything goes out for him it’s just very sad there’s a moment of silence before the start of this game should be carried here on the Big 10 Network second and three now for the Buckeyes and Elliot getting to the outside Elliot and a flag is down as Helms is there well I think that’s going to be a hold on the wide receiver holding offense number eight half the distance to the goal line Second down I can tell you that that’s a slow developing play when you have a rolled up Corner out there you better pack your lunch because that’s an all day block and he got caught with his hands outside and tough duty but you got to get it done Urban Meers said number one objective is to win this game number two is to make sure everything is ready to go as we enter Big 10 play of course the Badgers and it’s a tough one to gauge in a game like today you know from a defensive standpoint and then also from an offensive standpoint you know they’re going to be sharp you know that Urban Meers afria to look at specific things to improve upon six teams have gone undefeated here in program history in 1916 1944 195 for in 1968 19 and then 2012 that’s unbeaten and untied and when you look at this Buckeye team coach high expectations for him last year 12 and0 can they get back there of course you know this year circumstances different than a year ago well I would say they can but six times in the entire history of this story program and now you’re talking about doing back to back I mean that’s tall order but I think that’s that’s the bar that’s been set internally and externally about this Ohio State football team and you know the thing about it they’re going to have to shift gears real quick especially defensively because that defense of Ohio States has been going against a spread offense you think about the offenses that they faced all this year and then all of a sudden here come the Badgers they’re not a spread offense 69 nothing as the clock continues to roll Elliot 141 yds a true freshman with a career Mark two touchdowns here today and they stay on the ground as you would expect Elliot runs through one rler now at the 30 up to the 35 and take it down at the 39 they have not thrown the football one time in the second half well that doesn’t surprise me you know obviously if you throw the football and you catch it and it’s not a first down the clock keeps going if it doesn’t go out of bounds but you know if it’s incomplete the clock stops and urban Meyer’s going to do everything in his control to try to keep this game without being an absolute Landslide worse than it is but he can’t call his players off they’ve got to play hard so call it dive play you guys play hard or tomorrow in the field meeting you’re going to catch it from it war and ball is the running back and a hand off to ball ball he’s going to grind out a couple you see Urban with the button Mt there you see the win streaks to begin a tenure Larry Coker and the University of Miami and Terry B wait hold on a second now we got to cross that out make that a a 16 I’ll go as far on the limb to say that how’s that Absolut absolutely and that’s over the course of the last 20 years we talked about the bond in connection with Earl momes and Mike Rael there is a connection between Ohio State as well as Florida A&M that goes back in time yeah Rudy hubard who is a great player here at Ohio State under coach Hayes getting to the outside and now tripped up is Jones and Jones with a first down well I started talking about uh Rudy hover great player under coach Hayes and then he decided to go into coaching and that was before I think the term graduate assist came along coach put him on the staff as a Cadet coach and then he did such a good job there that he was elevated to a full-time coach and he was here when I was here he just a great guy and a great coach and then he he left one story program to go to another going replacing Jake gther down at Florida A&M University won a national championship down there great player great person great Ohio Stater Rudy hover was an assistant coach for six years here including the 68 National Championship team and you mentioned Jake gther as well and the Ohio State ties there yeah exact exactly right you know you the uh the first coach uh I think his name was Big Bill Big Bill Bell who won the first national championship down at far and A&M was an Ohio State graduate let’s send it down to Lisa Bon Lisa yeah I got a chance to talk to re Hub here on the sideline and the athletic director there at Flor 8m was one of his players and he actually invited him to be a guest to ride the charter plane with Florida A&M up here to Columbus and he said it’s just a mix of emotions obviously has ties here on both sides but to be a part of the 73 team again he said I just I cannot put it into words how much it means the athletic director Michael Hill graduate from Glenville High School in Cleveland Ohio yeah the connection just keep going and going and going don’t they and you know you go back and you talk about Archie Archie Griffith and you you think of Rudy hubard the story has it Rudy wanted to play Archie you know and that’s when freshman El when coach Hayes used to have a saying for every sophomore you played you lost a game he was going to play any freshman well Rudy finally got his way Archie got on the field against North Carolina went for over 200 yards and the rest is history 27 plays here in the half for Ohio State all on the ground Jones gives it to ball ball looking outside now cuts it back up inside ball grinding it out and the clock continues to roll here in the 69 to nothing game as blunt and Helms are there you look at the big 10 and this is something that I think you’re going to see more and more of them moving away from games against FCF schools and even Max schools as well as you look out into the future scheduling not only for Ohio State but as well as other big 10 schools Jim Delaney the athletic director of The Big 10 who’s just done a phenomenal job has talked about that and and said he’s highly encouraging teams not to schedule teams that aren’t really legitimate matchups and uh you know you’ll you’ll see some uh people that will still do it I think scheduling is a difficult task at best but Jim Delaney the I I said ad I meant to say commissioner I guess the commissioner is a little more important than the ad huh commissioner of the Big 10 who’s done a phenomenal job and uh you know he’s he’s been a not just even a trend Center in the Big 10 but nationally and you know with what’s happening with the Big 10 Network and everything you look at at here High State they got a big one coming up here against Wisconsin the Badgers and then up at Evon against Northwestern that’s got a real good football team Iowa’s getting better Penn State’s got a great quarterback who’s got a new coach it all starts next week and we can’t wait for it Devonte Butler running the [Music] football first in 10 eight Def rushers here today Butler carrying the [Music] ball yeah you talk to Ohio State coaches and you would expect it with an opponent like this hey this is about ourselves ourselves as Jones keeps it trying to get outside he’s going to lose some yards Neil Cunningham comes in to make the stop if you looked at this team and you start thinking about okay this is us this is who we are you came out got off to the start that you wanted to get you did exactly what you wanted to do if there’s still maybe a test out there they’re going to find out next week specifically with their defense they lost seven starters from a year ago Mike Fel done a great job with a defensive line remember they don’t have an office Washington but Joey Bosa the true freshman from for Lauderdale Florida has has been outstanding for them and an opportunity here to get a lot of people reps to the outside and brought down at the 10 yd line is Warren ball Ezekiel Elliot what a day for the true freshman from St Louis Missouri 162 yards and urban may be the first one to say hey this just didn’t happen this guy has been working hard they are all competing for refs in practice today’s Deluth Trading hardest working player and the clock continues to roll with 128 remaining here but next week make sure you keep an eye on number 97 defensively Joey Bosa getting to the outside is Jones and he’ll scoot right into the end zone for a touchdown 10yd [Music] run all Buck guys all day long 75 to nothing they have not thrown the football here in the second [Applause] half when you evaluate what they’ve done here today OB obviously defensively they played well they tackled well they were awful good in the kicking game they were Dynamic on offense with the exception of one interception in the end zone 76 to nothing football on BTN is brought to you by State Farm for auto home life and banking get to a better state 76 to nothing with 115 to go Chevrolet scoring drive 10 minutes 15 seconds in the second half 33 carries for 2770 yards Buckeyes have not thrown the ball since the first half Kyle Clinton to kick it off Ohio State 76 points are tied for six mons and a single game in school history it’s the most of Buckeyes that have scored in a game since posting an 8321 victory over Iowa back on October 28th 1950 Patrick Akin’s going to take it Aken up at the 20 trying to get outside and no place to go and brought down there Buckey 76 to nothing here at home Braxton Miller will he be ready to go next week and talking to Urban Meers said you the MCL grade one two sprain he said if he was an offensive lineman he’d be able to come back sooner but it’s going side to side The Cutting not the North and South it’s the east west but one more week will he be ready to go the Heisman hopeful finished fifth last year in the voting such a dynamic Force offensively for this Buckeye team he’s a premier player for this Ohio State team Premier player for any team but they pushed him hard in practice this week but Urban was hopeful he could play him but he said you know he’s not ready to go he’s not ready to go on the ground they’ll keep it with MCB last week 608 yds at total offense and today for the Buckeey 63 a huge day on the ground for Ezekiel Elliott two rushing touchdowns for Elliot and of course gon a record six touchdown passes folks all that in the first half a 16 game winning streak long as in FBS and of course Urban Meyer is a perfect 16 and0 as a head coach of the Ohio State Buckey there’s the hand sh and errl holes been around football long enough he knows that he was overmatched and he’s not facing a coach that purposly ran up a score and Earl will regroup move on and urban my will regroup and get ready for a big 10 play Ohio state with a perfect record of 4 and0 this season 3 and0 at home and of course next week and the defending Big 10 Champion Wisconsin Badgers are on the schedule for the Buckeyes in the big question will Braxton Miller be back we saw the return of Carlos Hyde today let’s send it down to Lisa Byington well coach your backup quarterback is now two and0 as a starter and threw for six touchdowns what did you like about Kenny gon’s decision making in particular in the Red Zone in the first half uh he’s one of the best game managers I’ve had you know he does a good job managing the game uh very efficient passer you can see and he’s really improved because a year ago he wasn’t he’s a much improved player than he was a year ago on the other side of the ball your defense didn’t even let them cross Midfield and shut them out what was most impressive about your defense today oh we played a lot of guys today we we’re still dealing with two we’re two down in the defensive line but you know what we over match this group on the offensive and defense line and our challenge come out and play and play as hard as you possibly can and and they did I really like their effort the end of the non-conference season is here you have Wisconsin around the corner what do you feel this football team is like right now how do you define this football team we’ll find out here in a minute cuz it’s real next it’s real and uh the Big 10 conferences that’s our goal it’s right around the corner now thank you it certainly is and of course the Wisconsin Badgers they will find out find out in seven days as the Badgers will
