Ross FultonGUEST
Um, but that being said, like, he, especially on these gap plays when you're able to get, like, that bigger body to just, like, wash down the play side defensive end, that helps.
Ross FultonGUEST
And again, this is where, you know, Jakobi, as we said, like, Jakobi Jackson hasn't been super explosive yet, but, like, he's really effective in these sort of tight spaces.
Ross FultonGUEST
As you said, difficult to tackle.
Ross FultonGUEST
Um, and so he's, he's been, become an effective goal line and short yardage runner.
Seth ShanerHOST
Yeah.
Brian InglisHOST
You know, Jakobi Jackson almost got Julian Sayin killed 'cause he missed a blitz pickup that would've resulted in a, a third down out on Saturday in which Jeremiah Smith was breaking wide open, yet we don't say we don't trust him.
Brian InglisHOST
Well, he biffed it in the game.
Brian InglisHOST
And so I just, I don't...
Lyle AlensteinHOST
They're still waiting on him.
Lyle AlensteinHOST
Jakobi Jackson, I feel like we'd be remiss to not bring him up.
Lyle AlensteinHOST
He's looks like the best running-
Josh PolohaGUEST
Yeah, that's a big one I missed out on.
Doug LesmerisesHOST
Three.
Bill LandisHOST
[laughs] Oh, Jakobi Jackson, Devin McEwen, who was the third?
Doug LesmerisesHOST
And Mason W- Mason Williams, the tight end
Bill LandisHOST
Mason Williams, yeah.
Doug LesmerisesHOST
It, what, that wasn't like the tight ends are fine.
Doug LesmerisesHOST
It was tight ends are something else.
Doug LesmerisesHOST
Uh, Jakobi Jackson played 30 snaps and started, which is, like, interesting and all the credit Jakobi-
Bill LandisHOST
Mm-hmm
Michael PettitGUEST
Um, I think Arthur Smith's job is a lot easier than Matt Patricia's this year, because Arthur Smith had, what, five returning offensive linemen with a ton of experience, uh, the best wide receiver maybe ever to play college football, a quarterback, a returning quarterback who's a Heisman winner.
Michael PettitGUEST
You know, he returned a lot of guys, and just the offense in general, save for, you know, Jakobi Jackson and Mason Williams, is it's, it's the same core guys as last year really, and Devin McEwen as well.
Michael PettitGUEST
It's a lot of returning guys, and it's, it's just an easier job, whereas Patricia has so many new guys on defense.
Michael PettitGUEST
I do think it's been... it's probably been a challenge for him to figure things out, and I don't think that process is over yet.
TannerHOST
I, I, I'm pretty pleased with what I saw from Ohio State in, in all areas, all areas of this game.
TannerHOST
Um, I know I probably expected them to score more too, but Jakobi Jackson and Bo Jackson both over 70 yard- 70 yards rushing.
TannerHOST
Um, yeah, I...
TannerHOST
Yeah, fun to see that two-headed monster there.
Arthur SmithGUEST
But he's done a nice job.
Tom OrrHOST
One of the surprise standouts for Ohio State so far this season has been running back Jakobi Jackson.
Tom OrrHOST
This is his seventh year of college football.
Tom OrrHOST
He played at Florida the last couple of years.
Arthur SmithGUEST
Um, I didn't know him well, but uh, I knew of him.
Arthur SmithGUEST
Um, you know, and what you saw, I mean, he's been, been a bright spot as well.
Tom OrrHOST
What has made Jakobi Jackson such a valuable piece for the Buckeyes this season?
Arthur SmithGUEST
Well, he's got great instinct as, as a ball carrier, you know, he's a veteran player.
Kevin HarrishHOST
Mm-hmm.
Ryan DonnellyHOST
I think he's shown a little more burst, but he doesn't have any long speed, neither does Jakobi Jackson.
Ryan DonnellyHOST
So you have two guys who were designed to be short yardage backs.
Kevin HarrishHOST
Yeah.
Kevin HarrishHOST
And so like cool in a sense, but also like it doesn't really do anything for you because neither of them brings anything unique to the offense.
Kevin HarrishHOST
I would've really loved for them to like go and get, if they're, if they were going to go get another running back.
Kevin HarrishHOST
And this is like, I, I do wanna say I completely agree that I was wrong about Jakobi Jackson.
Kevin HarrishHOST
Like he has been far better than I expected.
Zach BorenGUEST
Who, who knows? I, I was talking to you, Austin, I would love to see both running backs on the field at the same time.
Zach BorenGUEST
I think Jakobi, Jakobi Jackson's been going off.
Zach BorenGUEST
Uh, I actually think he's been playing way better than what they thought-
Austin WardHOST
Yeah
5 MINS LATER
Austin WardHOST
Let's not forget that part.
Zach BorenGUEST
Uh, there were a lot of positives.
Zach BorenGUEST
Uh, first, uh, I'm gonna say Jakobi Jackson.
Zach BorenGUEST
I, I know I texted you during the game.
Ross FultonGUEST
Um, particularly just to help out the, the blocking as well, as we'll, we'll get into here later.
Tom OrrHOST
Well, and a guy who feels like he might be a bigger part of the game plan moving forward is Jakobi Jackson, 'cause before the year, they talked about the fact that they needed to get more, they needed guys to make guys.
Tom OrrHOST
They either m- make, just run over someone or make someone miss.
Tom OrrHOST
Jakobi Jackson in this next one, this is, was his, his touchdown run.
Tom OrrHOST
He kinda, he kinda ran through some tackles here.
Tom OrrHOST
It feels like they might be getting more out of him in the early season than you thought.
Ross FultonGUEST
Um, you know, I think that, that we could get into a bigger conversation.
Ross FultonGUEST
Again, I, I think Bo Jackson has, uh, is doing his part and you could see the improvement.
