Ohio State Beats Penn State - Josh Pate Rapid Reaction (Late Kick Cut)

Ohio State vs Penn State was one of the headline games in College Football's week 9, and on Late Kick Live Ep 322 Josh Pate spoke about the Buckeyes trailing for a good portion of the game before exploding in the 4th quarter to take down James Franklin and the Nittany Lions and maintain a grip on the top spot in the division alongside Michigan. With the Ohio State defense coming up big while the offense struggled somewhat, does it say anything about the future capability of the Buckeyes OR is this a testament to Ryan Day making a key hire in Jim Knowles?

Hey Josh, huge fan. Random topic, but I have a hypothesis that currently this is the best time for wide receivers in cfb history. Over the last five years or so; it seems like every season there are just a couple guys who literally can not be stopped. Guys like Chase, Jefferson, Smith, Olave, Wilson and so many more. I’d love to hear a random segment on this evolution of WR play and how defenses have no answers for these guys. Thanks for reading!

Penn State have the best set of corners in the country in my opinion. At least two are top first or second round talent. Those bubble screens were a gift to Penn state. If The Buckeyes would of just thrown to Marvin 15-18 times they would of won by over 20. Marvin is not defendable in college football. We have seen it every year for like 5 years now. Some guys are so good at college these days; they literally can not be blocked.

FINALLY!!!! Someone who not just analyzed this game correctly but analyzes people/fans correctly!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!! You hit the nail squarely on the head - I get so sick and tired of sportswriters/journalists and fans "hating" on Ohio State year after year!! I'm from Columbus, OH and a 57 year fan of Ohio State and am always the first to (honestly) criticize the Buckeyes when I see flaws on their team, but this ridiculous and constant use of "Ohio State won, BUT........." has got to stop! Peo0le are idiots first sure - the constant comparing of who beat who by this many points and "well, they only rushed for so many yards against thrm but so and so rushed for THIS many yards!" Like you sa8d, the Penn State Michigan played earlier in the season was a different team! Nothing matters but the final score, and a 13-point win against #13 Penn State in THEIR home with 108,000-plus decibal-peaking whiteout fans and STILL without two of their offensive weapons is remarkable!! That being said, here's a bit of criticism......If the Buckeyes have aspirations of a National Championship, they HAVE to get better performances out of their offensive line on a consistent basis to improve their running game! Once they have to face either Georgia, that Team Up North, maybe Tennessee or Alabama, sub-par offensive play will not bring them a win against any of those teams!

Even the best of the best sometimes needs to pull a rabbit out of a hat to make it happen. The only undefeated heavy weight boxer in the history of the sport, Rocky Marciano, needed two late round knockouts to remain undefeated.

You're being dismissive of a 4-0 turnover win. You know as well as anybody that turnovers are largely not based on talent and largely fluky. So assuming luck was even for both sides OSU was not 14 points better on that field. It's frustrating to bury the lead so you can make your point. OsU is very good and perhaps rhe best. But for advice for ppl who will eventually bet on them against Michigan and the playoffs. They need to know that relying on winning turnover margin especially by such a large margin is a risky bet. The problem is thay its been a theme in a lot of their games where they eventually "pull away" they are only pulling away because the turnover margin is swinging so heavily in their favor

Your job is to put your team in a position win period. To give them the best opportunity to win in every game. Three quarters. Let me repeat three quarters Ryan day tried to prove that he could run the ball with no successes at all. 5 or 6 bubble screen play calls for a total of 2 yards. Wasted plays, wasted possessions and then finally the light goes off uhhh maybe we should start throwing the ball down field and what do you know? Can't be stopped. Can't be touched no answer for Harrison Jr every single time a pass is thrown to him. An elite pocket passer with elite receivers is who we are. Fact...... 3 delay of game calls.... a penalty on a field goal penn state missed.... 6 seconds left before half time, tries to run a play and is sacked giving up a field goal shifting all momentum back to Penn state..... I'm sorry I love Ohio State but if you think this team is capable of competing with Georgia or Alabama right now the way things are going you are delusional, Let alone capablr of beating michigan... we are winning because we have the athletes to win.

My memory's fuzzy on the 4th, but 1 TO against a team like that doesn't need justification. When you knock Clifford, you're really dismissing the greatness of Tuimoloau. That was a monster game you wont see for a while.

[@brianritchey7923]

Ryan Day did call a bad game. I know he assembled the staff/helped recruit players and all that. He's done a great job and is a great coach. This was an off day for him, either due to miscalculation in preparation or in the moment. He also managed the game poorly (attempting a 53 yard field goal rather than going for it on 4th and 6...OSU kicker is accurate, but doesn't have a huge leg. Also allowing delay of games rather than taking timeouts in first half). There was no reason to throw a third and fourth bubble screen when they weren't working. The middle of the field and downfield pass was there all game. PSU had no answer for Marvin Harrison and everything to tight ends seemed to work. If Day calls a better game and OSU's corner remembers he has hands to tackle with, that could have been a dominant win wire to wire. Marvin Harrison is a monster, JTT may have arrived as a monster, and the team rose to the moment. OSU's front 7 is excellent and seems to be in "ascension mode" as a unit.

All the pre-snap penalties on 2PCs, field goals, and PATs drove me nuts, too.

[@cincydooley]

@@pronkb000 that 2nd FG penalty was suspect at best.

[@brianritchey7923]

Both 2 point conversion penalties were offside on Penn State. They jumped and we reacted. The second time, Ohio State should have still gone for 2 to try to extend to 14...another Ryan Day mismanagement. But whatever.

[@jamesaronica3255]

OSU runs RPOs the play calling was correct but poorly executed. The WRs need to block and not wiff esp when they out numbered PSU. PSU loaded the box so the counter is to bubble screen. Also OSU running too much stretch and zone blocking which psu was eating up.

It was spring of 2021 when JT delayed his announcement.

You're the GOAT and it's not even close (I know how much you love that saying)

[@gosiahodge3462]

If Penn State had a different staff/very good QB...they would win half their games with OSU...39-38...27-26..this giveaway game....coaching/QB play the difference in the teams.

[@anthonywadlington1173]

Ohio State is always going to get the teams best, especially in the big ten. And they played in Happy Valley and Penn State isn't a scrub.

Tennessee went to double overtime with Pitt

[@brentbays3400]

Yes I agree with you Penn state played a great game and if they played The team up north like they did against Ohio state and they might have won that game and I like ur show and Go Buckeyes

[@09flstcmcodonnell42]

Those bubble screens they kept throwing at Penn State there just wasn't any blocking my or wide receivers we were not getting off on our blocks hey at the end of the season nobody remembers the scores all they remember are the W's and the L's

[@breydonkramer3201]

Your takes are normally spot on, but this one was wide left, all love though

[@scanza6084]

Penn State played the game perfectly, then Clifford made mistakes, JT and the defense took advantage, and Ryan Day FINALLY OPENED THE GOD DAMN PLAYBOOK! For 45-50 Minutes, PSU was the better team and then we got reminded of just how much it why they have to play for 60. I wish other Ohio State fans would realize that you can only blowout teams for so long before you play a team backed against the wall. No one thought they’d come close, and the Nittany Lions showed why you can’t back them into a corner. OSU did enough to survive. It’s gonna happen against Maryland. It’s gonna happen against Michigan. A championship team needs to win close and they need to win big. Georgia struggled with Kent State and almost lost to Mizzou. Bama nearly lost to Texas and A&M then did to UT. Michigan struggled with Maryland and Iowa before pulling away in the latter. Clemson. Name a damn game. This is just how the game is.

[@ohrandle8295]

Straight take 💯💯

[@jamesureel2853]

Michigan didn’t struggle with either Maryland or iowa. Michigan was up 20-0 at the start of the 4th. Iowa scored 1 td in meaningful game time then Michigan answered back and was winning on the road 27-7 and then iowa scored with 8 seconds left. That’s not struggling. Against Maryland they had a 15 point lead before Maryland scored a garbage time td with 45 seconds left in the game.

[@scanza6084]

@@jamesureel2853 that is true. And I totally get what you mean. But I’m saying that struggling doesn’t always mean a dog fight till the very end. Iowa’s defense made Michigan work for there points, then Corum and Edwards wore them down. So I guess, yes. It wasn’t as much of a struggle. But still a good test. Maryland was down by one score until Corum score with 6 and a half to go. I’m just saying Michigan has be tested and they pulled thru. That’s the mark of a great team. And I’m saying that as a Buckeye fan.

[@cincydooley]

@@jamesureel2853 lol, yes they did. And Michigan was an INT that should have been overturned but wasn’t away from being down in that game.

[@jamesureel2853]

@@cincydooley use proper context clues or sentence structure I have no clue what you’re referencing as far as an INT. Struggle is subjective and you can manipulate it to how you feel truthfully. At no point in either game we’re they losing in the second half that’s not a struggle.

[@davidelliott7231]

I agree with Josh this year is wide open for probably any team ranked in the top 6 to take home the Championship. There is no juggernaut! Ohio St could win it all and they could also lose to Michigan and not make the playoff. That’s why college football is great!
