Joey Kaufman

We will attempt to beat the house.

And then Joey Kaufman covers the Buckeyes for the dispatch.

He will join us at 1130.

I was thinking a little bit more about the timing of this bye week, guys.

Indeed you are.

Time to head out on the Bryan Heating and Cooling Systems fan guest hotline.

Joey Kaufman joining us, covers the Buckeyes at the Dispatch.

It occurred to me, Joey, I don't think you've ever been on, which is a mistake out of us, and it should have happened a long time ago.

Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis joined each and every week by two outstanding media members from the Ohio State beat.

This week, Joey Kaufman from the Columbus Dispatch, Stephen Means from cleveland.com and Buckeye Talk.

Kind of a weird time for the Buckeyes, an interesting time, an opportunistic time, a nervous time for the fan base, I think.

So Joey, we're very glad you're sharing some of your time with us here today.

What, what are you doing in the off week, fellas? That's not what we're talking about, like, uh, right now this week.

With the, the idea of Ohio State having to replace starting quarterback Julian Sangha coming off this crazy win over Indiana, we're gonna get in a lot to Luke Fahey, to Julian Sangha, to what it means for this Ohio State team.

As we remind you, go read Joey Kaufman and the Dispatch.

Go read Stephen Means at cleveland.com. Go listen to Buckeye Talk with Stephen Means and Stefan Chrystneck.

[laughs]

Uh, I'm Joey Kaufman, uh, from Fort Wayne.

Fort Wayne.

Uh, play in some bands.

But it at least gives you another option, another way that you could potentially handle some things.

What did you make of the question posed, uh, by, uh, The Dispatch's Joey Kaufman on Wednesday? Before we got the availability report, Joey asked Ryan Day, "Ryan, if Austin could go, where would he go? Like, what position would he play in this game?" And Ryan said, "Tackle." Now, he didn't say left or right tackle, but I did think it's interesting that there was no hesitation in it.

You know, it would be tackle.

Now, can there be no hesitation because there's no concern about it right now and he doesn't have to, like, create anything and he would just be like, yeah, he just goes back to where he was? Um, what'd you make of that answer? 'Cause I thought it was interesting.

But now we're out there and going to play fast, physical, and everything like that.

All right, Jordan, we're gonna jump to the, to a Zoom, uh, question here from Joey Kaufman-

Okay

...

Got time for just a couple more questions.

Joey Kaufman, Columbus Dispatch.

Tylee, what does it say about your defensive line and how prideful are you guys when you can get eight sacks, 13 tackles for a loss without having to bring a ton of extra guys and pressure, but you can just go forward and do a lot of that?

I'll say kudos to our coach, Coach J.

So the block I made is just a testament to Coach Hartline prepping me throughout the week to make that block.

So, yeah.

And final question, Joey Kaufman, Columbus Dispatch.

Brennan, Will has been throwing the ball deep well lately, especially the way you guys have opened games.
