the new degree of comfort and from the Cotton Bowl in Arlington Texas tonight it's Ohio State facing Missouri all season long we had weekly updates from Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim nolles on his group and how they practiced and played so once again we get another update from him as the Buckey prepare to face Missouri in the cotton B coach NOS I know that uh at the beginning of the year the goal was to limit explosive as you look at the big picture did you like how a lot of that was achieved I did I thought uh we adjusted well I thought uh the guys understood the concept of you know playing winning defense and and what it was going to take and uh our explosive play numbers went down it always sticks in the mind that you talked when you first got here about it how it's a safety oriented defense is the growth of those young men at the safety spot's been something that's been a key part of that yes and uh you know Proctor um really uh struggled uh my first year but came into his own this year made a lot of plays um you know laan until he got hurt was getting better all the time and I thought uh Sunny you know moving from a nickel sand position back to a banded position you know he really had a good year and you know Jordan uh coming in from corner to Nick um I thought he excelled he's got a bright future there with sunny Styles and getting the year he had last year was that kind of a payoff this year to seeing his learning curb going up yes I mean I think that uh anytime you can take a young talented guy and you know give him a year to learn the system and see it and not you know not put him in the fire as much in his first year and you know get him some work but um let him learn you know and uh I thought he came into this year really prepared and has had a nice year Jim you mentioned Jordan Hancock did he give you some flexibility on some of the things you wanted to do absolutely you know he he um created more versatility for sunny but uh really uh showed some physicality and uh ability to tackle in the Run game when when laan got hurt and we had to move sunny out of there completely you worry about uh you know going backwards in the Run game with a converted corner at nickel but he showed a lot of toughness the way Tommy ikenberg played this year and even some of the physical toll that took on him does it give you that much more of an appreciation of what this young man has giv to your defense Jim yeah he's uh Tommy really epitomizes the Silver Bullets he you know left it all out on the field he he he came into this year and started to really see the big picture he made a lot of checks for us um that uh you know he's learned he learned kind of how to think like I do because and he's on the field so he's able to make those checks a lot quicker and uh you know you go back and look at it he put us in a lot a lot of the right defenses was davidon osen as big an addition to the defense this year as any yeah Davison was huge because he came in here in the spring and uh really uh amped up the level of competition you know he made Denzel better he made Jordan better he um elevated uh Germaine Matthews you know he just turned that group into a more competitive group The Way Ty leek Williams played on the line did that make the defense better this year Jim yeah Ty Le was you know Ty Le uh um Ty Mike uh you know Ty Le of course cuz he's so athletic but I think what you saw is those defensive tackles were making more tackles not just using up blocks but actually making tackles and when you have those guys making plays it makes your whole defense better that is Jim nolles the defensive coordinator of Ohio State up until the Michigan game Jim this Ohio State Defense is putting together some impressive stats yeah they did and then they just came up a little bit short against that team up north they made more plays and you know scored 30 points in Ohio State and in Buckey's offense It could only manage 24 so they lost that but but Tommy ikenberg being out of this ball game you're going to see Cody Simon getting more of a role uh he's been playing a lot throughout this whole year with 45 tackles 135 on his career but this is going to be a great opportunity for him because he's going to come back next year to to Really you know solidify his position inside understanding this defense and gaining the confidence of defensive coordinator Jim nolles out there that he had in Tommy ikenberg and Matt Andrew him down on the field there's also the anticipation not only with Cody Simon but there could be some other guys whether it's CJ Hicks or maybe even the defensive secondary we may see more of that we haven't seen a lot of today you're absolutely right Paul and down on the field here just moments ago I happened to cross paths with former linebacker James ladas I said you guys are ready to go he said of course of course he oversees the linebackers mostly and they've got a guys I think that they're going to put in there to help fill that need with ikenberg out it's unfortunate for him but he's had a wonderful final year it'll have St he certainly has coming up next we'll hear some

[Music] is the a energy Buckeye pregame show on the Ohio State Sports network from learfield Welcome Back to the cotton ball in Arlington Texas it's Ohio State facing a Missouri team that's two- one in the cotton ball and playing in their 35th bowl game overall after navigating through their tough SEC schedule the Missouri Tigers find themselves in a position to face Ohio State in the cotton ball head coach Eli drinkwitz says this appearance is something his team and his staff are very thankful for but more importantly we're excited about playing this game obviously a quality opponent in Ohio State and Coach day know that they will be a a tremendous challenge for us and we look forward to preparing for that challenge throughout the week and during the course of the week as the Missouri Tigers have hit Texas coach Gritz praises the talents of the Ohio State team they'll face you know we we play in the SEC we know what tremendous challenges are the one thing when you watch their tape is you you see a team that is very similar to the Elite teams in the SEC they're built uh in the trenches they have Dynamic Playmakers on the outside they're going to play man-to-man in your face check your breath uh defense and you're going to have to make plays and as his team gets ready for this game drinkwitz and his staff had the unusual task of preparing for quarterback Deon Brown will be making his first start you know uh as soon as it was announced that um uh Devon was going to be the starting quarterback we pulled every one of his plays uh to to watch it and that was probably a big mistake because it shows the diversity of things that he can do uh and then understanding coach day's past and Coach harlin's pass you you realize that there's such a variety of things that they'll be able to adapt and make this offense go with his skill set so it'll it'll be a challenge we we'll be reactive you know we'll have to react to see what his style of game plan is I was hoping he would tell us today but y'all didn't ask any of those questions that's El light drinkwitz in his fourth year as the head coach in Missouri they've gone to a bowl game every year he's been there Jim this success followed him from his days at Appalachian State exactly he had one year there 2019 at Appalachian State and they had a fantastic year 12-1 Missouri came knocking and he took the job uh you know five and five there that first year overall six- seven he's improved got to that bowl game like he talked about the last couple years but this year was a breakout year he had those guys that have been with him for four years and you could see it the maturity that of his football team had some guys that are fifth and sixth year guys that are back which also adds to and then hired Kirby Moore the offensive coordinator and gave him the complete control of the offense he's a former offensive coordinator at Boise State at North Carolina State Eli drinko it's was but he brought in Kirby Moore says you know what you take the job you call it I'm going to be the CEO and you guys have talked about we've heard that throughout this pregame show but it's led to some success this year one of the things Matt Anderson down on the field that people who are listening on the radio will be able to notice as you were noticing up close there will be a lot more Missouri fans here than Ohio State fans yeah it's significantly closer obviously for those folks coming from the show me state up there but uh there are Buckeye fans from your perspective on the opposite side from the Missouri perspective their fans are on the near side or the TV side the H side but it's going to be a an advantage for Missouri and it doesn't happen very often where the Buckeyes travel it certainly doesn't coming up next on our a energy Buckeye pregame show we'll hear from coach Ryan day here on the Ohio State Sports network from learfield now the officials have been talking for quite some time all righty let's see what they have to say upon further review there is no penalty on the play however we have confirmed and discovered that Bob the line judge has saved a boatload for his kids college

we're kind of working on our fundamentals we're get getting young players um you know developed then we have our game plan we jump into the game plan we want to get a lot of that done uh in Columbus so that when we get to the Bowl site here the game plan's already been in because there's a lot that comes with a with a bowl and you know times there can be distractions with events and things like that so we want to get all that in and then we come in go through a week of practice here um and and kind of Polish it up so we've had a good week of practice guys have been into it um we had

to our pregame comments presented by Kroger Ohio State facing Missouri today Ryan if you would just talk a little bit in a big picture way about the defense in a second year under Jim nolles and how that's taken route yeah I think in in the first year you're learning sort of what the what the defense is you know Jim's getting a feel for the Personnel he's get a feel for the conference and then in year two um you know the guys are learning you know what to do why they're doing it or excuse me how to do it and and and why they're doing it and I think you know you get a feel for the conference get a feel for what what our guys do well and so you the defense that you know we're running here is a lot different than some of the defenses he's run in the past because of those things and so our guys have really grabbed on to it and um you know I think they they know that they got a really good offense coming in uh you know with Missouri here that we got to play well you know they they do a good job running the football the quarterback's good they have um you know experience a receiver those guys are high-end players so um you know we got to play our you know our best football here against uh against these guys on Friday night what the biggest benefits of getting all of the Bowl practices that you have leading up to the game Run well it it's almost like spring practice for some

facing Missouri and the cotton B in the midst of everything else Ryan you had so many guys achieve so many honors including academic Honors that has to make you proud of all of the components yeah we're we're proud that our last eight I think of 12 semesters have been over a 3.0 GPA for the entire team and uh a lot of hard work goes into that um you know it's a big part of their day is you know their academics and we always say that you know how how you do one thing is how you do everything and preparing for for tests and exams is similar to preparing for a game and how you do in the test is is you know indicative of how well you prepared well it's the same thing with a game you know how you do in a game is indicative of how well you prepared during the week and it's the process more than anything and um you know our guys have done a good job of that they find that balance and a big part of is time management you know and that's sometimes hard for the younger guys to understand when they come from high school is figuring out how to manage that time and use it efficiently and uh the guys who can figure that out early find a way to get on the field early and and find that success um but a lot of hard work has been done this this past semester did you get ready for this game is there a certain feeling to want to embrace that this is the last time this team will be together in its current makeup yeah that that's been a big a big message for our guys that we want to finish the season the right way we want to finish with this team the right way we know that it's important to our team first off it's important to the university it's important to the people of Ohio to make sure we play well in this game and um this is will be the last time that all these guys get together in

to the a energy Buckeye pregame show on the Ohio State Sports network from learfield it's Ohio State in Missouri meeting the tonight here in Arlington Texas the Ohio State offense will have a major new component when they hit the field against Missouri with Kyle McCord having gone through the transfer portal Devin Brown will make his first start at quarterback I mean I'm pumped I mean I can't believe my first start is going to be you know in the cotton ball it's a big stage against a really good team it's a top 10 matchup and I'm just excited to go out there and show what I can do and receiver AA ibuka will play even though his future beyond the cotton bow is unknown but he says it's important to embrace each and every chance to play I feel like every chance you get to step on the field um it's something you shouldn't take for granted um playing football we're blessed to be able to do so you never know when an injury might come or uh you know your opportunities to play with some of your best friends might run out so I'm just get an opportunity to go down to a great venue in Dallas um and play against an opponent that's really good um is a blessing in itself so it's something I didn't want to pass up um and it's just another opportunity to showcase my abilities but for all conference guard Donovan Jackson who will also have to make a decision on his future it's a chance to play in his home state with a team whose Dynamic will change after this game never be the the 2023 Buck guys will never be the same after this year so I just want to rock with these guys I've been with this for this period of time you know it's the Brotherhood for a reason and I heard the bull is in a really cool state so uh I just want to play play him for uh playing for the uh family and friends so it's going to be a fun game we'll have a lot of time to talk about the change at quarterback Jim but there'll be a change on the offensive line Matthew Jones will start at Center Eno bahi will make his second career start at guard yeah again that's a little bit of a surprise Carson Hinman has been the starter all year long at Center for Ohio State I noticed it during Bowl practice when I was at back in Columbus at I saw Matt Jones in there you know again Matt Jones he's had that ability to play center he's done it in the past but just really hadn't had that opportunity they're going to switch things up in that offensive line give Eno an opportunity to get a start as a senior and then maybe he'll come back for another year who knows how it's all going to work out but there is going to be a little bit difference there in the offensive line obviously when you look at this matchup right here you want to get K or Devin Brown in a little bit of a rhythm how do you do that some short passes you know hand the ball off get it to trayon Henderson uh maybe some misdirection things like that but you got to get him in a rhythm early on so he can go out there and get some confidence as this game goes on all the passing offensive numbers that Ohio State's had all year long you can throw that out the window cuz most of those numbers aren't in this ball game right now with Kyle mcord out and also Marvin Harrison julan Fleming being out so we're going to find some new stars in this passing did and from down on the field Matt Andrews some of those Stars might be guys like Brandon inis and Carnell Tate who we've seen just a bit of and we see some galani Thurman yeah it's going to be remarkable Jimmy made a great point I was going to bring that up in my head here a lot of these numbers won't add up because the Personnel will be different but the Intriguing part is who might step to the Forefront tonight and hopefully leading them at the next year but one thing this team did pretty well all year was third down conversion but again does that even hold up going into tonight we'll see coming up next we'll take a look at how higher State's defense will match up with the Missouri offense when our AE energy Bucky pregame show continues on the Ohio State Sports network from Layfield the 2024 bucke cruise for cancer set sail on the silver sea silver Dawn it's an

the fan you're listening to the a energy Buckey pregame show on the Ohio State Sports network from learfield it's Ohio State in Missouri in the cotton bow tonight and as the Ohio State defense gets ready for this match up with the Tigers there are many like defensive end Jack sori who want to play well and wash the taste of the Michigan loss out of their mouths uh you know we got to go you know we got to go out the right way and uh it's unfortunate that we couldn't you know finish the season that the way we wanted to uh with the last game for our seniors and and guys you know deserve it uh so you know we need to really go out you know with a good win and I think I've become more mature and just every aspect of the game I think I've improved of course there's more to improve on but I think I made a big leap this year definitely and quarterback Jordan Hancock says their mission will be to work at getting better and in the season on a good note got to win this game we got to have something to show for at the end of the year we had a great year so just hold up a trophy at the end in the year uh the bowl going to play in so get the young guys out there get reps so uh everything's going to be important but this game is going to be extremely important and certainly this defense had a great season up until that unfortunate day in an arbor Jim yeah and they got an opportunity to go out here today and pick up to you know continue to finish off strong and get a win you know as you heard the guys talk about to get that bad taste out of their mouth they want to get a victory and it's going to be important for that defensive line not only obviously with the rushing attack of Cody straighter but get some penetration some pressure on the quarterback too on Brady cook inside he has been back too many times this offensive line is protected well just 20 seconds they've given up so it's important for this team you know to get some penetration in the running game and then also penetration pass rush when they go back to throw and Matt Andrew down on the field we know Tommy ikenberg is not going at linebacker that's a huge loss but it provides an opportunity for somebody else namely a guy like Cody Simon whether it's the linebackers or the safeties filtering in to be linebackers yes and to Jim's point pressure sacks tfls that's a lower number than Ohio state would like year to year so they'd like to get that going here tonight some of the keys to the game tonight Jim well for Ohio State offensively can't turn the ball over you saw that in the last game you turn the ball over twice two key interceptions they they cost them so they got to protect the football number two you got to have to slow down the running game Cody sher's been impressive but you can't forget about the running quarterback too Brady cook he's at eight rushing touchdowns going to be important for this defense to shut down the rushing attacks in the final key hey special teams be special we got to have great punts we got to have field goals they go through the upright certainly do we are getting closer to the eling kickoff for tonight's cotton ball game between the Ohio State

their 55th bowl game Ohio State leads this series with Missouri 101 and one yes kids you used to be able to end games in a tie that happened in 1946 between the bu eyes and the Tigers the one loss we relived a little of this video the other night on video and Skip mosik had reoccurring nightmares in 1976 when Ohio State lost by one whole point in Columbus to Missouri these two teams haven't played since 1998 but here they are meeting for the first time in a bowl game yeah they had a little back to back there 9 7 98 so we got a chance to see him uh you know obviously you know going through that you know what Andy katso you remember that big hit over there in Memorial Stadium in Missouri so he had a chance to call a game there but no these two programs haven't played you know for a long time Missouri one of the connections of people may not be terribly familiar with and we talked about this last night Jim that was back after the 1949 season going into 1950 when West festler resigned as head coach at Ohio State Don Faro was the coach at Missouri his teams had competed against higher state in the 40s 3 days later after he went home he changed his mind and didn't want to do it he stayed in Missouri and the officials at Ohio State decided they wouldn't interview any more candidates and they'd offer the job to the guy that was the number two Choice Woody Hayes yeah it end up being the winningest coach in the Big 10 history Woody Hayes so sometimes you know finishing second for that opportunity it worked out well for him of course that snowball got West festler fired you know they couldn't quite beat that team up north in that ball game record for amount of punts still I think held it was in that ball game but yeah Don Faro was the famous coach who came here and you know had the job in writing went back to Missouri and says no I'm not going to take it you got cold feet and we got Woody Hayes instead so I think we won on that deal two great coaches two Hall of Fame coaches absolutely worked out really good this Cotton Bowl has been going on since 1937 the first cotton ball game TCU beat Marquette 16-6 it's a game that for many years was tied to the champion of the Southwest Conference when that League ended that opened the doors for a lot of teams like Ohio State in the late ' 80s to get a chance to play when's the last time Marquette played football um it's been a while yeah I mean cuz I didn't even realize you know since the'80s I you know I haven't seen a Marquette football scho even 40s or 50s exactly they gave it up but wow good opportunity for them they played TCU and again this bowl has been around this is one of the famous ones Ohio State's first opportunity we talked about in the pregame was 1987 Earl Bruce came here W the Fedor and you heard a little bit on the pregame bunch of interceptions in that ball game Chris fielman Michael KN got one that end up being a sugar bow record for a lot lot of years of 49 yards so going to need some takeaways maybe in this ball game to take advantage of the SEC Missouri Tigers this stadium has been very friendly to Ohio State since the Cotton Bowl has been played here since 2010 but in this Stadium Ohio State beat USC in a Cotton Bowl game they beat TCU in a regular season game and of course at the end of the 2014 season Ohio State won their most recent National Championship defeating Oregon yeah boy I got great memories from all those gam well maybe not so good that t game remember we lost Nick Boza first play the third quarter first series of the third quarter he was out pretty much for the rest of the season after that declared for the draft against TCU so that was interesting obviously the Oregon game where Ohio State rolled with Cardell Jones was very very impressive and then you know taking care of USC or USC you know team that had a great quarterback there Sam Donald I think yes it was and was able to go out there and and get that Victory so yeah it's it has been successful Ohio State here in Dallas uh you know we like coming here you know Jim nothing makes up for losing to Michigan and Ohio State fans have had to sit with that for several weeks now but finishing the season with a win in this game certainly would go a fair amount of ways in trying to help that oh it definitely would help that you know again we heard the guys talk about the bad taste that they have in their mouth and that loss that's like for anybody you know and last year we saw that feeling you know they went out and they played a great Georgia team in the playoffs and it came down to the final play of the game and of course Ohio State came up short that whole off season you're coming off two losses you know you talk about during the spring coming off two losses you want to be coming off a victory that just kind of propels you into the Spring ball so these guys coach day again he's he's kind of had his team fired up all Bowl practice because the opportunities for a bunch of young guys to go out and and play in this game Devon Brown being one example he's had a great Bowl practice now can that translate to a victory we'll find out a guy that really his playing time ended when he suffered that ankle injury at Purdue he sure did and we'll have to see what difference he brings to this Ohio State offense a guy that was used in Red Zone specialty packages he had a three and out and then pretty much de brown got the job after that or I'm sorry K MC did down on the field to Matt Andrews step forward to Midfield coin toss with Derrick Anderson back the week 12 Ohio State's Xavier Johnson Tommy anenberg Kate Stover are out there meeting the Missouri captains right now and we'll listen in for the points der Anderson welcome to the 88 goodye cotton ball classic my name is Derrick Anderson I'll be your referee this evening ready for an exciting game joining us this evening is Ryan Waldren Goodyear president of North America consumer Ryan we appreciate the commitment and support from Goodyear also joining us it all from the G his team that kind of a young man Dave I believe we have our coin that we will be tossing little bit change of pace Ohio state has a logo on one side Missouri you have a logo on the other whoever is facing up has won the coin toss and will have their selection sound good all right here we go Missouri you have won the toss what is this election defer they've elected to defer you Ohio State you want the ball which direction would you like to kick kick this way all right pivot over to your right Ohio State you rotate this way that is Buck will start with the ball and the moving away from you or towards the end zone down to the right side all right mat he's first down that Ohio State picks up tonight is brought to you by Kroger Kroger pickup the easy way to get what you want right when you need it try Kroger pickup today in the Kroger app or at kroger.com this is an Ohio State offense who during the season averaged 425 yards per game 142 on the ground 282 through the air an offense that at times could score at a high high rate they were one of the best of the nation averaging 32.8 a game yeah they were they they made a lot of great plays in con a lot of those plays were made by Marvin Harrison at 14 touchdowns on the season so we're going to find some other guys Step Up in playmaker I know one playmaker that's going to go and that's trayon Henderson what a second half of the Season he had our game time temperature brought to you by Atlas Butler indoors here in Arlington Texas 72 de Atlas Butler always open technicians scheduled day and night seven days a week including holidays and since they're always open you never pay any after hour service fees for all your heating cooling and plumbing needs call 1800 furnace this Missouri defense though Jim keep in mind they have forced 10 turnovers in their last three games yeah plus nine on the turnover margin for the year so they they've done an outstanding job especially end of the year in November when they had to come up and make some big plays probably their best uh defensive back as far as getting those stats would be Chris Abram uh dra he's had four interceptions on the air to go with his 46 tackles the Deep returner for Ohio State will be Xavier Johnson steel Chambers and Brandon inis are the u returners a gentleman known as the thicker kicker Harrison mevas who has 45 touchbacks he will be booting It Off from right to left as we view it from the corner of one of the end zones to get tonight's cotton ball started here at at stadium in Arlington Texas Missouri wearing all black with gold and white trim Ohio State in their Scarlet jerseys gray pants silver helmets meas kick is in the air Xavier Johnson will track it and let it bounce in the end zone so the Buckeyes will start at their 25 Devin Brown red shirt freshman quarterback from Gilbert Arizona played in five games 12 for 22 passing 197 the yardage total two TDS one interceptions he ran for 35 yds and one TD he is the first ever Ohio State quarterback that will make his first start in a bowl game wow that's pretty impressive usually yeah it's it's a guy that's gone all year year long but it's a different time right now Carnell Tate will open as a receiver he'll set wide to the left AA ibuka wide right tight end galani Thurman on the right side of the line with Devin Brown in a shotgun and tight end G Scott is to his right trayon Henderson out of a slot left comes into the back field and gets a hand off curling to his right and he's hit and going to be stopped for a loss right around the 22 yd line as Missouri's defensive back comes in to make the Stop and it was no defensive linean excuse me Darius Robinson Buckey open with one back two tight ends galani Thurman in there along with G Scott so Kate St not out there for the opening play they try to run and you said lost two yards running to the right so to be second and 12 Ohio State at their own 22 Tate and Thurman on the left side of the line Scott and abuka wide right Henderson to the backfield with quarterback Deon Brown second and 12 Ohio State at their own 23 the wide out split even wider in each Direction Brown out of the shotgun gets the snap from Jones pressure coming screens it out right side incomplete for ibuka at the 22 yd line but the blitz got after dein Brown yeah some pressure came right up the middle he tried to get that pass out to his right to mechaba throw was a little off so here we are third play of the game third and 12 buck I that need to find a way to convert here third and 12 at their own 23 yd line Xavier Johnson Kate Stover IMA ibuka wide left freshman Carell Tate wide right Devin Brown in the shotgun dravon Henderson to his right third and 12 Ohio State at their own 23 yd line Missouri has three down linemen in a with their hands on the ground and is dein brown resets in a shotgun Henderson to his right in the backfield on Third and 12 Brown back to pass sets up at the 10 pivots to his left on the Move getting to the 15 throws up field deep down the left sideline and overthrows a meca Iuka at the 45 of Missouri so the Buckeyes will have to punt had some pressure come right up the middle there they came with a little bit of a line stunt you saw a defensive player come right through the middle for Missouri put some pressure inside and they had to go go out and get rid of that football in a hurry cydney Williams was the player who put the pressure on yeah number three so Jesse merco in to punt it away for Ohio State and I believe that is the former Buckeye Muki Cooper who is back deep for Missouri at their own 30 long stapper is John Pearlman for Ohio State merco on the year average 42.8 per punt Furman over the ball ready to snap it for Ohio State now we have Cody Simon changing the protection of the Buckey over overload the right side of the line it is third and 12 Ohio state with a snap coming from the 23 and we're going to get placed up delay game number 29 offense 5yd penalty replay fourth down wow Luther Burton is the deeper Turner rather than mooki Cooper for Missouri so things not going well right from the get-go for Ohio State yeah fourth and 17 now with the ball being snapped from their own 18 ydd line again John fman The Long Snapper Jesse merco Junior putter from Perth Australia is at his own four to await the snap hook can only throw for a short past you mie Cooper second and nine norley comes in motion lines up Wing to the left side along with Burton who now goes in motion left stretch play running left shraer trying to get outside turns it gets hit at the 49 brought down at the 48 bring up a third down and eight for Missouri Cody Simon on the stop starting at linebacker tonight in place at Tommy ikenberg and Sher he stays outside with the tight end North Fleet I think he picks up more yards third down and eight from the Ohio State 48 cook wants to throw fires on the right side and he overthrows his intended target Burton actually ran a post instead of an out ball incomplete and it'll bring up a fourth down for Missouri that's good point you make Mike cuz you know that ball came out on timing Brady's throwing to a spot where he expects a receiver to be there was no one there leading us all to believe up here that uh the route was run incorrectly Riley Williams comes on to punt Ballard back deep for Ohio State Williams standing at the 38 yd line kicking from right to left Ballard stands at the eight hits it with the right foot a high spiral turns over moving to his right calling for the fair catch it's out of bounds here on the near sideline just beyond the 10 yd line it appears right at the 10 and that's where Ohio state will take over so Missouri picks up a first down but the drive cannot continue tigers and Buckey scoreless with 121 to play in the first quarter the 88th goody your cottonball from marlington on the

all season long another $10 donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters courtesy of storage Mark official storage of missou Athletics with 5 yards rushing on that first series Cody Sher goes over 1500 yards on the season so Missouri this is the only Missouri team to ever have a 3,000 yd passer 1,000 yd receiver and a running back that's rush for 1500 yards well it just speaks to the success that this team had offensively this year and how well they executed Henderson offset to the right side two receivers split to the left Ohio State takes over right hash from its 10 yd line inside handoff Henderson brought down at the 13 yd line by JC Carl as he crashed in from the left side of the Missouri defense again that's another good play by Carli good recognition you know if I could correct him on one thing I'd say stay a little bit higher wrap up and drive through the ball carrier Scott the tight end short split to the right side lines up Wing to the right ebuka short split to the right two receivers split outside the left hash Tate along with Johnson wanting to throw Brown throws it over the middle underneath got a man at the 20 brought down though is Z bua at the yard to gain as Missouri's Tristan Nome makes the Stop and Ohio State picks up its first first down of the game 11:30 to play in the opening FR him no score you know Marvin Harrison Jr got a lot of the attention for Ohio State but this UHA egbuka is a really good receiver he's got more time here uh in Columbus Johnson and Tate split outside the left hash egbuka just outside the numeral on the right side first and 10 for the 20 for the Buckeyes play action fake one to throw Brown throws it coming back atuka makes the reception at the 27 yd line brought down quickly by Dre Norwood of Missouri pick up of seven on the play second and three coming up and again little soft coverage early for Missouri yeah and that's the thing you know they seem to start off a little bit floor uh slowly that way uh and then adjust more team like Ohio State though you don't want to give them too much cushion they're so explosive I don't care who they have lining up there second down and three Buckeyes bringing an extra blocker a big offensive lineman wearing number 41 tight formation tight ends to each side running back offset to the right deep hand off Henderson angles it right side second level hurdles him in at the 35 to the 40 and he's out of bounds near sideline with a first down at the 39 yd line Buck guys move the chains again trz Johnson on the stop Trevon Henderson is a Quality quality running back I mean he's got great moves great speed and all you can't tackle him with an arm tackle either he'll run over it a first and 10 for the buck guys from the Ohio State 40 yd line is where now they mark it Anderson last five games averaging 112 yards per game no score less than 10 minutes to play in the first quarter back to- back first downs for the Buckeyes offset right Henderson two receivers split left tied end tight to the right side running left Henderson hemmed in and he's going to be hit and dropped by Chuck Hicks at the 30 9 yd line for a loss of one brings up third down and 11 second and 11 excuse [Music] me that was a good job by Chuck Hicks but the defender on the end of the line of scrimmage is what turned trayon Henderson back inside in order for truck to make that that play that was Sydney Williams that turned it in yeah that's a great job by Sydney Willam he held outside leverage it's a big time play Kate St comes into at the tie end shifts to the right side of the formation three receivers bunch to the right and a false start against Ohio state with 907 to play in the first quarter no score in the game going to get the left tackle Josh Simons moving a little too soon prior to the snap ball start number 71 offense a 5y penalty second down see if that is a drive killer moves the football back it'll be second and 16 for the bucks these are the situations that it's Missouri defense can Feast on when you putting an offense in seconds and thirds and Longs got to take advantage of it try to get out of this Drive Henderson comes out so five wide receivers in as they line up Johnson in the backfield three receivers split to the right Johnson offset to the left second and 16 Johnson now goes in motion lines up in a slot to the left side inside pitch for Uka hit at the 30 and dropped immediately by Missouri that read it quickly on the quick out Sydney Williams once again maintaining leverage on the edge and you said it Mike I mean he's in great position to make that play and if he doesn't make that play when he does it in the manner he does it likea is going to run for big yardage see if the Tigers can get out of the drive two receivers split to the left side wide to the left at bua Tate comes to the right Henderson back in the running back Walks Behind his offensive line talking to his Center and Right Guard Devin Brown in the shotgun Henderson offset to the right flag on the play false start against the Buckeyes FAL start number 70 offense 5yd penalty third down so Darius Robinson came across the line of scrimmage trayan Henderson at 510 kind of gave him a little bit of shove be careful what you wish for my friend I'm just saying you you don't want to pick on Dr cuz has a long memory he greeted Howard Richards when we arrived yesterday with the following phrase great to see you goat that that was that was special I I have a big time fondest for the over in motion to the left moving to the left is the quarterback Brown wanting to throw chased by Robinson and he's forced out of Bounds at about the 29 yd line over in the far sideline showing some speed as Darius Robinson from his defensive end position in Ohio State's Drive will stall missou is going to get the football back Chris jino well the defense really looks strong it played so well down the stretch of the Season especially in keeping Ohio State at Bay and making life difficult for Devin Brown this Buckeye making his first start tonight first ever quarterback for Ohio State to make his first start in a bowl game Marco on the punt Luther Burton waiting back at the Missouri 30 kicking from left to right standing at his 15 is Marco moving to his right hits with the right foot a driving spiral calling for the fair cat letting it bounce now as it takes Ohio State bounce inside the 10 yd line it's going to roll back to the 10 after moving as far as the N9 yd line rotated back to the 10 and that's where they downed a 61 yd Punt and that's the way to flip the field position for Ohio State there's time out on the field with 709 to play in the opening frame Missouri and Ohio State scoreless in the 88th good your cotton B on the Central Bank tiger network from learfield is

coals and ks.com today also brought to you by mu Healthcare where 600 doctors in more than Specialties provide completely Coordinated Care for the simplest and most complex medical conditions you knew Ohio state was going to be stingy against the Run certainly they were that in Missouri's first possession giving up a 12 yards per game 3.4 yards per carry those are really good defensive stats now you know the interesting thing is you just want to see how the SEC uh an SEC offense like Missouri will Stack Up Against a sta statistically good Ohio State Defense see what kind of adjustments after the first possession Kirby Moore might have made two receivers bunch to the right in motion comes a receiver to the left inside hand off second level across the 15 out to the 16 yd line comes Cody shraer off the left side brought down by Josh Proctor good another quick hitter between Foster and delg who have played outstanding football this season on that left side got a chance to talk to Delgado before I said hey thank you for wearing that number 72 proudly second and four after the pickup of six Trader with 11 yds rushing on three carries tonight twins de side ball on the left hash quarterback draw angling right trying to get outside is Brady cook and he gets cut down behind the line of scrimmage forward progress back to the 17 in the line of scrimmage Denzel Burke coming up from his cornerback position to bring down the Missouri quarterback brings up third down in short for isou no that's a good play by Denzel Burke because I I think cook is fast enough to beat the last guy on the outside of the line there and it was 41 and the other good play was off of tackle because Ohio State plugged the Gap and forced him to Bounce It Outside exactly nice defense by the Buckey third down and four for Missouri second possession of the game no score three receivers to the left side moving left hit as he throws the football out of bounds as Brady cook and Ohio State wanting a intentional grounding as tiam mulu makes the backside hit on Brady cook and it will it will be intentional grounding didn't it appear as though the ball was snapped early did yeah this intentional grounding number 12 offense ball will be placed at the spot of the foul with a l of down fourth down so the Tigers will be forced to punt s State doing its job and again field position coming into play that's exactly what it was Conor Talus has snapped the ball early before anyone else was moving luckily for cook he was was a shot to the head by onio state receiver that went unseen by the officials Bard stands in Midfield standing four yds Deep In The End Zone Riley Williams kicking from right to left see if he can get a hold to one the Australian native hits the ball with the right foot a driving spiral that turns over calling for the fair Catch and Fielding the ball at the 47 yd line of the Buckeyes J balard it's a good field position for its third possession G of the game for Ohio State there's no score between Missouri and the buck guys of Ohio State in the cotton bow in Arlington and on the Central Bank tiger network from learfield game day is full of ifs like if

worth building on for more information visit field union.com also brought to you by Shelter Insurance ranked number one in customer satisfaction for auto insurance in the central region by JD Power five of the last six years we're your Shield we are your shelter let's go back to the story about why Devin Brown wears 33 is a tribute to Sammy Bal ball again he was the MVP of the inaugural cottonball 87 years ago but he wore number 45 at TCU and uh of course won the MVP back on New Year's Day of 1937 but sling and Sammy da the number number 33 throughout his 16 NFL seasons all for Washington Brown started playing quarterback at the age of eight his father told him the story about slinging Sammy Bond he says I think I'll wear 33 and he has ever since that that's a neat story he came to Ohio State in wore number 15 in the spring and then was given 33 before the start of the Fall 15 worn famously by St Louis and Ezekiel Elliot for the buck so the bunk guys take over great field position at their 47 no score in the game with 547 to play in the opening frame Brown goes under centered alone setb is Henderson one receiver right Uka toss sweep running right second level Henderson in Missouri territory angling outside at the 40 to the 35 right side line out of Bounds at the Missouri 33 yd line just a little toss sweep Missouri lost contain and quickly Henderson into missou territory yeah really good at the point of attack by Ohio State you know their offensive lineman on the right side Matthew Jones and Josh F did a fantastic job against that Missouri front for Missouri defensively up front you've got a shed blockers don't let them occupy you get into the rush Lanes very quickly Buckeyes have it first and 10 at the Missouri 34 line up a defensive lineman in the front of the eye deep hand off running right Henderson bounces it to the right sideline pushed out of bounds by Carli near sideline at the 26 yd line they Mark him out of bounds you it's okay if you can force Henderson outside but if he gets outside you better be able to string him laterally and not allow him to turn that corner just as they did on the previous play Jason Moore the defensive lineman wears number 94 that came in as the lead blocker pick up of seven second and three three receivers split to the to the left side in for Henderson is Hayden quarterback draw flushed in the pocket and sacked at the 30 is Devin Brown leading the chars with JC Carli coming up from his safety position for Missouri yeah see that's the one thing that's a wild card for the Missouri defensively Brown has not seen these types of blitzes on a regular basis and that can be an advantage for the Tigers on defense from the 30 yd line third down and Six coming up Henderson back in can Missouri stop the Buckeyes here on this third down play Ohio State 0 for two on third down here in the first quarter 404 to play no score offset left is Henderson moving to the right Johnson wanting to throw left throws it underneath caught by Tate popped down shy of the first down at the 26 yd line by Missouri's dalen Carell it brings up a fourth down you know initially I I looked at the hit by Carli oh Carnell looked a little high but don't see any Flags fourth down and three the Buckey's offense stays on Jaden Fielding 15 of 18 with a long of 47 this season the Missouri crowd making noise fourth down and three for the Buckeyes now limping off or limping out set wide to the left side is brown in a stoppage in play Brown was limping timeout taken by Ohio State as they were going to go wild cat timeout Ohio State this is their first of the half time out on the field they're in the wildcat look but you wonder if they were just going to try to make Missouri jump off sides cuz there's what fourth and four there fourth and three fourth and four if they get that offsides penalty then they'll get an automatic first down Chris jeno was a noticeable limp by the quarterback as he split out to the left side that's right he's a tough kid but he's in a little bit of a desperation now with that leg they've got their third Stringer there warming up already on the sideline just in case and Howard I think you're you're right with that situation because a penalty gives them an automatic first down without having to snap the ball they wanted to see if they could draw Missouri off but that uh did not work and of course with the apparent injury to Brown they were forced to call up timeout as he was trying to get away off the field so K Holtz was warming [Music] up freshman out of Pier South Dakota he's four five this season with a 25 yds passing fourth down and three for the Buckeyes from the Missouri 26 yd line coming up with 317 to play here in the opening frame you know it's very interesting when you have two teams with a long layoff uh as the Buckeyes and the Tigers have had you wonder how it affects him you know and and coaches try to keep your players into a RI rhym first you know once the season's over you got final exams and you give kids a Break um uh but then you come back and you start doing drills you work on the fundamentals a lot of the younger players that didn't get a lot of time uh during the season to work out they take the bulk of the work and in in practice kind of let your starters and and depth players uh get healthy if they've been dinged up uh but you still got to work on your timing you know that that that routine that you're in when you're playing week in and week out you kind of lose it a little bit so I think the staff wants to stay true to that routine as closely as possible Jaden Fielding loosening up at about the 40 yd line over on the far side again 15 of 18 on the season with a long of 47 yds so far the numbers look like this Ohio state with 54 yards of total offense Missouri just 23 Tigers just one passing yard 22 on the ground Ohio State 20 yds passing 34 yds rushing a testimony to the job both defense is good Ohio State breaks on top here in the 88th edition of the goody your cottonball the Buckeyes lead Missouri with 3 minutes and 12 seconds to play in the first quarter by the score of three to nothing the 44 yd field goal completes a 5play 27 yd Drive they went 2 minutes and 35 seconds all set up by field position Howard yeah you on the PS and uh that have rolled favorably but also on a big run uh by Ohio State's trayon Henderson really the biggest play of the game so far see if Missouri's offense can get on track here late in the first quarter Chris Abrams drain Maris Johnson go back [Music] deep waiting to kick from Fielding 43 of his 75 yd kickoffs have resulted in [Music] touchbacks Fielding has it teed up Abrams drain stands about four yards Deep In The End Zone on the right side a low driving squip kick bounces scooped up goes off of Abrams drain he lets it go into the end zone and then takes a [Music] knee so almost mishap for Missouri on the squ kick that H took a hard bounce almost like a bad hop for a second baseman Abram strain though able to cover it up in the end zone for the Touchback of Missouri will take over needing to get something going offensively a couple series and uh you know the first series looked pretty decent Unfortunately they got installed second Drive from Missouri did not look that great let's see if Drive number three can be greater nor Fleet Wing to the left two receivers to each side first and 10 for Brady cook and the tigers at the 25 Shader in motion to the right side collaps looking to the left throws it underneath he's got norle at the 27 Out of Bounds at the 30 in the near sideline BR norle with the reception flag on the play 18th reception of the season for the [Music] Freshman Big 12 crew working this game Derek Anderson is our referee still conferring with one of his mates standing at about the 15 on the far end Brady cook listening intensely head linesman comes in still a conversation while we wait we can talk a little bit about Brad norford 67235 from Francis how uh also a guy that is a good baseball player very good here from Derrick Anderson ineligible player down field number three of the offense it's a 5y penalty replay first down Burton covered up apparently lined up on the right side so instead of the pickup of five it'll be first and 15 that drinkwitz does not agree with the call talking to the official here on the new side the head linesman Brady cook wanting to get the play in looking at the near sideline intensely as you say Michael Kelly you got a flushed move on two players line up in the backfield with Brady cook who's in the shotgun Trader to his left Luther Burton to his right first and 15 nor Fleet and mookie Cooper short split to the left throw it underneath on the right side Theo at the 25 yd line forward progress to the 26 brings up second and nine Proctor on the stop for Ohio State Tigers want to go Tempo out of the pistol norle comes in motion left stretch play trying to run left is shider gets second level to the 30 yd line brought down at the 32 yd line it'll bring up a third down and three for Missouri Josh Proctor the safety makes the stop Missouri did very well on on second down there now you're in a very manageable third down situation Norfleet comes off for Missouri maai Miller comes on at a wide receiver position 3 nothing Ohio State less than two minutes to play in the first quarter third down and three again shider offset to the right of cook in the shotgun offset to his left is Luther buron two receivers bus to the right on this third down and three seven in the Box for Ohio State cook wants to throw flush angling to the left side's got the first down to the 35 to the 40 Out of Bounds at the 42 ydd line the pocket collapsed in the kid from St Louis made Ohio State okay and what happens when you get a kid like Brady cook once he they realize how quick he is how fast he is it's going to slow down the pass rush so that bolds well for Missouri if they can get protection going forward Central B bang first down for Brady cook and the tigers at the Missouri 42 yd line trailing three nothing with 115 to play in the first quarter deep handoff running right Trader angles back left outside the left hash mark forward progress to the the 47 yd line pick up of four maybe five brought down by Denzel Burke from his quarterback position with 56 seconds to play in the first quarter it was initially stopped but again Sher the Burrows worth Trophy winner kept his legs driving was able to pick up additional yardage on sheer will Kai Miller comes to the left of the formation three receivers punch to the left offet left shraer second down in 54 Missouri in motion McKai Miller to the right side cook wants to throw pumps now looks moving to his right now looking downfield as he tries to direct traffic sets up and now throws it right sideline out of bounds with 25 seconds to play in the first quarter it'll bring up a third down and five for Missouri operating from its 47 yard line not a bad play there on second down and in sort of five cook you get him outside he's going to survey downfield see what he can get if there's nothing there you don't force it just throw it away but you want to see M Miller work back true that is and that's that's that's what you have but a a young receiver like Miller who I think should know better in this case you got to stay and mirror the quarterback give him an option 25 seconds to play buron goes in motion right Shader offset to the left cook wants to throw in a third and five Crossing route through it wide of the intended target Theo whis it's incomplete and Missouri will face a fourth down with 21 seconds to play in the first quarter trailing three nothing he just hated to see see him wasted on the drive cook you got to instead of Feathering that ball you got to drill it into the gut of feel always give him a chance you don't want to the guy's going to get hit he want to at least give him a chance to catch the ball over the middle had him open on a left to right cross took a shot from Proctor to the helmet and so Missouri now will punt the football as Riley Williams comes in Ballard standing back at the Ohio State 13 yd line Williams hits it with the right foot a high spiral that hangs up calling for the fair catch moving to his right now backpedaling inside the 10 Ballard Fields the ball at the 8 yd line actually the nine and that's where the Buckeyes will take over leading 3 to nothing with 12 seconds to play in the first quarter of this 88th edition of the Goodyear cotton bow here inside of AT&T stadium in Arlington Texas Chris trino in the Missouri sideline well really not a surprise the defensive struggle so far thought it would be this honestly Ohio State obviously lost its starting quarterback after the season their top weapon Marvin Harrison out and Miss's defense was so good the second half of the Season got better and better and conversely as good as Missouri's offense has been Ohio State's Defense number two in the country allowing only 11 points per game the only better team Michigan the number one ranked team overall in the country gave up just nine per game Devin Brown noticeably limping as he comes back in a quarterback the Buckey take over at their nine first and 10 Henderson offset Right In Motion comes a receiver to the right side egbuka inside handoff angling right Henderson wrapped up and brought down at the N9 yd line at the line of scrimmage on this the final play of the first quarter JC Carly very active in the first 15 minutes defensively for Missouri makes the stop Buckeyes will face a second down and 10 coming up first 15 minutes complete in Arlington Ohio State leads Missouri 3 nothing

injury report where more than 600 doctors and 80 plus Specialties provide Coordinated Care for the simplest and most complex medical conditions Chris jino Missouri in good shape Matt no injuries tonight of course the Tigers without two defensive players Andis rra teron Hopper who are hurt the injury worth watching is that to quarterback Devin Brown of Ohio State he suffered a badly sprain ankle in the Penn State game running a goal line play didn't practice for 5 weeks and fact still has that taped really as a precautionary reason but uh look like like he may have tweaked that here early in this game but he's a tough kid Mike talked about the story of him was wearing 33 for Samy B obviously his dad told him about Sammy B but Brown said I I wear that because Samy B quote was one tough SOB he was always the toughest guy on the field Mike and Howard so Devin Brown may be channeling his inner Sammy ball in terms of jersey number and toughness here tonight chrisal late scratch two for Missouri defensively quarterback Shamar mcneel out after a suffering a ankle sprain during the work week leading up to this game and so that was delivered us before kickoff saw McNeil working out in the end zone he did not look very mobile round the quarterback split out to the right Wildcat formation Henderson lines up in the wildcat in motion comes ebuka to the left running to the left side second level is brought down at the 15 is trayon Henderson brought down by JC Carli Henderson's able to get to the second level and reason is because mou up front they're not getting off the blocks you got a shed blockers get into those Lanes Carli took a little uh fire from his own teammate Friendly Fire as he made the tackle took a shot from Sydney Williams from the backside he limps off third down for Ohio State and four from the 15 yd line Brown hit backside and sacked by Johnny Walker Jr Missouri's second sack of the [Music] game so the Tigers can play a little field position here HR Ohio State player ball came free covered up by the quarterback Brown in Missouri with a nice series defensively losses seven on the play Luther Burton will not field this punt as Chris abrs drain comes on after Burton allowed the last one he didn't field it and allowed it to be down inside the Missouri 10 just a great effort coming off the edge by Johnny Walker just beating the left tle Josh Simmons and you can tell Brown is in some pain as we saw space on the video board on the Ohio State sideline merco on to punt standing about 8 yds deep in his in zone burden back at the Missouri 47 Tigers trailing three nothing just underway here in the second quarter in the 88th cotton bull merco hits it straight on a spiral that turns over calling for the fair catch Fielding at the Missouri

world success bazou tigers roar louder Tigers take over at the 48 yd line of Missouri out of the pistol with two receivers split to the left side Burton comes in motion to the left side joining Theo whis along with mookie Cooper tied in tight to the right coming back in motion to the right side is mukie Cooper Brady cook inside handoff stader running right into Ohio State territory to the 47 yd line of the Buckeyes brought down by Simon the linebacker making the start in place of Tommy ikenberg you know the Tigers certainly want to get the running game established but they got to find a way to get the ball to the hands of number three Luther bird in the third second and five stretch play running right shider trying to get outside to the 45 yd line he's got the first down or just shy of the first down out of Bounds at the 44 is where they're going to Mark [Music] him they run that stretch play two with a short side of the field requires really good hook blocking sealing off that edge by the right side of that Tigers offensive line don't like the spot placed it down just inside the 45 yd line of Ohio State so it's third down for Missouri third down and three buron and the receivers shift to the right of the formation Theo whis along with mukie Cooper Wing to the right side Norfleet offset left is Cody Shrader keeping it to the left side Brady cook turns it up field he's going to be hit and brought down shy the first down at the 44 yd line good job by the pursuit of the Ohio State Defense up front Luther Burton wanting the Missouri team to go for it looking to the near sideline Ian Theo whis and Missouri's offense stays on as missou will face a fourth down and one and what I don't like about that cook he's taking a step or two too much you got to make a decision get that foot into the dirt and get vertical as quickly as possible see if Missouri can ververt on fourth down and one from the Buckey 44 trailing 3 nothing with 1136 to play in the first half Cooper comes in motion right Brady cook out of the shotgun fakes the toss keep it himself got the first down inside the 40 to the Buckeye 38 yd line face the toss to the left side to buron kept it himself for a central bank first down and what that play does is you freeze the end guy on the line of scrimmage making it difficult for him to react by the time he can react cook has already crossed the line to game for first down the whis and mie Cooper to the left of the formation Luther Burton short split to the right North Fleet Wing to the right side first and 10 for Missouri operating from the Ohio state 38 Cooper comes in motion right Brady cook fakes the handoff steps up it's going to be sacked back beyond the 40 at the 41 yd line takes the sack brought down by Jack Sawyer the defensive end Sawyer just just kind of collapsed everything in on Brady cook loss at three on the play second and 13 for Missouri operating from the Ohio State 41 10 and 1 half minutes to play in the first half Buckey three Missouri nothing you rarely see Xavier Delgado get beat that time he lost his van and saw was a guy they end up sacking North fleing whis to the right side in motion to the left maai Miller pitch It Out Underneath on a tunnel screen Theo whis hit behind the line of scrimmage and wrestled down great open field play by Ohio State's Denzel Burke brought him down at the 42 yd line for a loss of one so it's third down and 14 for Missouri it's a play to me that should be eliminated from college football because you you you're catching the ball on the outside but why do you then go back to the inside of the field where all the pursuit is coming at you you can't make a play that way stay outside or get vertical third down and 14 for him as Missouri operating from its from the Ohio State 42 Cooper goes in motion left three receivers bunch to the left side Burton Cooper and Miller cook on third down steps up pressure front side and he's going to be brought down at the 45 as Ohio State again collaps the pocket and Jack Sawyer brings down Brady cook Missouri will be forced to send on the punt team yeah I kind of put that sack a little bit on Brady cook he steps up into the pock it right into an oncoming rusher if he's going to step up you got to be decisive either taking a run you can't just sit there and and play tily wins you got to either throw that football or you got to get out of there he just waddled there too long and that's what he got s Jaden balard back deep inside his 10 Riley Williams standing at the Missouri 41 yd line kicking from left to right here in the second quarter with 851 to play hits it with the right foot end overend coverage sty kick calling for the fair Catch and Fielding the ball at the 5 yd line is Boward of Ohio State and that's

yds by Jaden Fielding to give the Bucky the three nothing lead 48 for Ohio State is now wearing number 11 Brandon inis so the Buckey take over at their 5 yd line with K Holtz in a quarterback their third team quarterback inside handoff angling left hit at the five and stacked up at the line of scrimmage is the running back Traen Henderson so Devin Brown out and Lincoln K Holtz out of Pier South Dakota 405 this season for 25 yards takes over you go from inexperienced to really inexperienced at quarterback now can the Tigers make them pay amen 200 lb freshman second down in nine yds for Ohio State St from at six line up in the pistol ebuka comes in motion lines up slot to the left side fourman front for Missouri two safeties back running left hit in the backfield is Henderson and dragged down at the Buckeye four yd line by Tristan Nome starting in place to Tron Hopper and the recognition by new was incredible he saw it and exploded to the running back before he could get any type of momentum going that's a great defensive play by Tristan n third and 12 for the Buckeyes ball placed down at the three yd line twins de side kle standing two yards deep in his in zone store comes in motion right inside hand off second level is Henderson but he's brought down at the 9 yd line so it'll be a three and out in Ohio state will be forced to punt the football and again an opportunity for field position for Missouri absolutely yeah great job by the defense you pinned them down in not only inside inside their own territory inside the 10 yd line they can't get anything going for Missouri

network with Brad trago and Kathy weon who do such a great job broadcasting Missouri women's basketball Tigers after the timeout sent on the punter Riley Williams instead of opting to go for it on a fourth and two Ballard waiting for the punt inside his 10 yd line kicking from left to right will be Williams 3 nothing Ohio state with the lead and Chris Missouri just having a tough time getting on track offensively well that defensive front's really good for Ohio State boy Jack Sawyer at Ed reminds me a lot of Sam Hub who used to play at Ohio State now starts with the Cincinnati Bengals at that left end position but cook three of seven passing for six yards Riley Williams standing at his 38 hits it with the right foot low driving spiral takes a Missouri bounce inside the 10 yd line he going to be B picked up by Sher quickly he was getting ready to go inside the 10 and another bounce and he scooped it up at the 10 so that's where Ohio state will take over the Missouri fans groan because they thought they could have pinned Ohio State deep inside the five Sher the All-American running back down covering the kick actually say initially covered it at the yard line so that's where the Buckeyes will take over 430 to play in the half they lead it three to nothing pretty cool your starting running back is now covering punts uh it just shows how much he cares for this game Bucky with two timeouts four and a half minutes to play in the first half at a three nothing lead Johnson in a slot to the left side Tate wide to the left side for the Buckeyes K Holtz in at quarterback Anderson offset to his right again playing in place of Devin Brown who suffered an ankle injury running right on the Jet Sweep trying to get outside Johnson the Missouri Pursuit brings him down at a 20 at the 15 yd line after a pickup of four on the play he had to navigate one of his own players a mea Uka was on the ground he had to kind of Step Side step over that kind of slowed his progress a little bit now Getty tracks him down from behind second and Six coming up for the buck from their 15 403 to play here in the first half [Music] Henderson offset to the right two receivers to the left K Holtz brings Johnson in motion to the right fakes the hand off drops back now just throws it up for grabs on the right sideline incomplete no one around it if bua was a good 10 yds away Missouri wants an intentional grounding call as he literally just felt pressure and just threw it up for grabs on the right sideline that's an experience of a quarterback my friend yeah no doubt and and I think it was Christian Williams was was held obviously by the left guard for the Ohio state by or the center right guard for the Ohio State actually real George who he held third down and six can Missouri get on of the drive guys Henderson splits out goes wide to the left side so an empty look for K Holtz The Freshman quarterback stoer the tide in they're going to keep it running right is Henry or is uh the quarterback kols popped out of bounds on The Far Side by dalen C El shy of the first down Mark him out of bounds Abram drain feels it at the 27 yd line or the excuse me the 32 yd line of Missouri it's where the Tigers will take over with 310 to play here in the first half if I told you that Ohio state was starting a backup quarterback and then would ended up playing their third string quarterback and was going to St struggle on offense you would believe them you would say that their defense better be pretty good that's exactly right and they have been but wouldn't necessarily expect Missouri's struggles to be so deep how do you try to attack this quick stuff exactly you know you got to find your quick receivers open bird and whis on first down running to the right stacked up at the 35 yd line after a pickup of three is Cody shrer with three minutes to play in the half as the linebacker Simon makes the stop they've also been fact that they've been running Brady cook you feel like the safeties are starting to creep up so with some play action maybe you can hit something Deep Over the Top tied in tight to the right out of the pistol three receivers to the left on a second down and seven checking off looking at the near sideline is Brady cook of Missouri with 240 to play here in the first half play clock down to 13 titer splits to the with the receivers to the left of the formation inside handoff running right shider hit brought down at the 37 yd line it'll bring up a third down and five for Missouri from its 37 yd line with 220 to play in the half trailing by the score of three nothing Missouri will get the football to begin the second half after winning the toss and deferring so third down and five coming up 210 to play here in the first half three nothing is O the Ohio State lead just looking at the safeties on that play they were they were up about 10 11 yds really shallow Miss just 1 for seven on third down three receivers split to the right side offset left to shraer the running back cook wants to throw looking's got time now moving to his right trying to direct traffic floats it on the right side in complete Threw It Wide of his intended target mookie Cooper and it brings up a fourth down with 147 to play in the first half this is what I was fearful of the timing because of the layoff you're just not into the same Rhythm that you are when you're playing games every week and again working away from the quarterback as opposed to working back to the quarterback 11 for Ohio State is now wearing number 48 the point Mike makes is when your quarterback decides to roll out your receivers have to recognize that and mirror his movement either laterally and then work back towards the quarterback Riley Williams on the punt he'll try to flip the field position standing it is 24 Ballard back inside the 25 hitting it with the right foot a high spiral that turns over backing up as balard calls for the fair Catch and Fields the ball inside the 15 yd line and a late hit flag's going to be thrown three official standing right in front of the play and it was the official the linesman over on the far sideline that threw in the late late flag out of what appeared to be incidental conduct by Traves Johnson just wonder if there's a little bit of flopping there saw it late but it was his own player though that's what I thought I saw yeah so I'm not sure sure why they 48 y punt let's hear from Derrick Anderson there is no foul for kick catch interference because there was an illegal Block in the back against the return team a penalty and force half the distance to the goal first down Ohio State looking at the look face of Ryan day okay so there's trz Johnson got blocked into him blocked in the back by the Ohio State player that's exactly the right call the officials should have made so they did take a long time but they did get the call right so the football will be placed down at the 6yd line 138 to play in the half for REO Ohio State and see if Ryan day just wants to get to the into this first half and be very very cautious with the football deep in his own end playing a freshman quarterback n Holz is 0 for one since taking over for Devin Brown realis George comes out defensively for Missouri first and 10 for the Buckeyes Henderson offset to the right two receivers split outside the left hash in motion at bua Wing to the right side now inside handoff angling right hitting the backfield and brought down is Henderson by big Christian Williams and a timeout taken by Eli dritz with 132 to play here in the first half Drake is playing the field position game and he was all the way down inside the 5 yd line showing some spr speed the second of the half it's a 30 second timeout game clock operator please put 1 minute 33 seconds on the game clock if they can keep Ohio State pinned down here get stops get the football back with enough time to move that ball and Poss the very least getting a field goal if not getting a touchdown so coach Sprint it down the right sideline all the way inside the 5 yd line to get that timeout with 133 to play in the half as Ohio State will face second and 14 after the four yd loss tigers with 81 yds of offense Ohio State 61 Missouri 5 yards or six yds passing 75 yds rushing the bucke guys 41 yards on the ground 20 yards through the air Brady cook three of eight for 6 yards shider 10 carries for 41 cook 10 carries for 34 whis two receptions for 5 yards mookie Cooper with a reception Brad norley with a reception and guess who has not had a reception lb3 the guy that you want to see the ball in his hands a whole lot more the other thing too Ohio state does such a good job in the secondary with man coverage second and 14 lining up in the pistol two yards deep in the end zone kolz now shifts two tight ends to the left of the formation Johnson in a slot on the left side in motion back to the left side at Buco deep hand off Henderson hit it the one he's going to be stopped there Missouri another tackle for loss for Tron Nome and drink Burns another timeout would want 28 to play in the half yeah that's a just a tremendous play for him timeout Missouri this is their final timeout of the half playing in the Box 30 second timeout game clock operator please put 130 on the game clock a little bit of tussle going on during the timeout some Ohio a players engag with Missouri's JC Carli Big Al Davis gets out there to separate it along with a member of the Missouri strength staff Jay Jernigan with some words as he heads back to the Huddle here in the near side so Ohio state will face a third and 16 from its one yd line how do you like 3-2 at halftime Chris jino well it's possible I mean it's it's not uh necessarily A joke is it because the that's the way this game is shaping up big time you got a third string quarterback on one side and Missouri's offense struggling against that Ohio State Defense which has most of its regulars now we've talked offensively without the quarterback the quarter transferred Harrison a top five NFL pick at receiver and Kade Stover the tight end headed to the throws he's not been playing either but their defense other than the leading tackler linebacker ikenberg is pretty complete and they are stout so Mike great timeout usage by Eli drink it's not crazy for defensive points here or at least good field position for amous field goal because that is clearly the way this game is shaping up Ohio state has it at the one kinol lines up five yds Deep In The End Zone he's got Tate and egbuka split to the left side goes under Center quarterback sneak he's going to be stopped at the one yd line again a little pushing and shove it afterwards Missouri players and now a late flly comes in from drik Anderson Johnny Walker Jr one of those guys engaged this is where you got to be smart you you can't allow they're pinned down inside the one you can't do anything dumb and force a penalty if especially if you're on defense deric Anderson with the call after the play unsportsmanlike conduct number 15 of the defense that's a 15yd penalty automatic first down you got to be better than that guys you just cannot allow yourself to be baited into it Johnny Walker is pleading his case with the back judge but again it was right in front of the referee yeah it played right into what Ohio state was hoping would happen Eli drink what's in the ear of his defensive end out of Tampa Florida moves the football out to the 17 yd line first and 10 missou is out of timeouts just blows your whole strategy there yep Henderson Johnson lines up in the wild catch going to keep it angling to the right side gets outside with Running Room to the 25 to the 30 dragged out of bounds far sideline at the 40 yd or the 35 yd line by cydney Williams with one minute to play a first down for Ohio State and the clock stops pick up of 18 on the play just really no excuse this this if Ohio state gets points on the scoreboard here before halftime you know Missouri will have to look back at that keep in mind Ryan day's got two timeouts remaining 1 minute to play in the half first and 10 for the 35 yd line of the Buckeyes after Missouri had Ohio State stopped at their one looking at a fourth down and un sportsmanlike results in the first out fourman front egbuka goes in motion to the left side play action fake kols throws it right side low but caught by Tate at the 45 yd line and stopped all it incomplete set it bounced with 53 seconds to play in the half second and 10 coming up for the Buckeyes from their 35 I didn't see the ball bounce but I guess yeah just as it hits the receiver's hands the ball hits the ground trapped didn't he yeah he did officials right there to make that call yep it's pretty obvious from that angle 53 seconds to play in the half second down and 10 for the Buckeyes of Ohio State kind down had no idea Carell was chasing him down so it brings up a third and 10 with 48 seconds to play in the half stoyer the tight end lines up short split to the left side two receivers split to the left as well walking behind his offensive line K Holtz got his running back offset to the left 48 seconds play in the half timeout taken by Ryan day is second of the half snap timeout Ohio state that is their second of the half 30 second timeout so timeout taken by Ryan Day and the Buckey they've leaded three to nothing with 47 seconds to play in the half and merco has been very good tonight punting the football for the Buckey averaging better than 53 yards per punt this evening on five opportunities he has done a fantastic job getting Ohio State out of holes flipping the field and again you go back to Missouri had them stopped would have been fourth down from the one yd line at an unsportsmanlike call results in the first down three nothing is the Buckey lead 48 seconds to play in the half we'll hear Eli drinkwitz's thoughts on this first half at the concl clusion of it still visit with Chris juo before going off to the Missouri locker room third down and 10 story of the tight end to the left of the formation along with Ballard and egbuka kolz he's got Johnson offset to his left third down and 10 takes the snap play Action Pressure front side throws it up on the left side line off the hands of Ballard incomplete good coverage by Marcus Clark of Missouri and again if Clark could have made a play might have been able to intercept that football yeah so it brings up a fourth down Chris Abrams drain goes back to await the punt of merco of Ohio State and Clark just gets enough of it got a hand on it finger tip finger nail Maybe fingernail poking through the glove maybe and knocked that ball away it's a good defensive play Kad stands inside the OR at the Missouri 20 standing back at the Ohio State 20 merco to punt 41 seconds to play in the half three nothing Buckeyes hit it with the right foot a wobbly driving spiral getting away from it takes a bounce inside the 25 angling to the 21 yd line and that's where the ball is going to be down with 29 seconds to play in the half Missouri with no timeouts they take over at the 21 yd line trailing three nothing again can you just somehow in the final 28 seconds find a way to get into field goal range yeah we've seen it before yep can they figure out a way to do it Ohio state lines up defensively fourman front two safeties back now one safety back Proctor tigers have got three players split to the right side offset right is Cody Sher on this first and 10 from the Missouri 21 checking off looking in the near side Brady cook with 14 on the play clock Walks Behind his offensive line now back into the shotgun Trader offset right first and 10 cook takes the snap looking looking to his right flush in the pocket running between the hash marks to the 30 Dives forward just shy of the first down with 18 seconds to play Tigers quickly come on a second and one looking cook throwing it on the right side caught by mookie Cooper Out of Bounds at the Missouri 49 yd line good execution good job by an experienced receiver in M Cooper 8 seconds in the half first and 10 for Missouri they're going to Mark him out at the 48 yd line again meas is hit from 61 he's got 13 kicks of more than 50 in his career Ohio State takes a timeout with 8 seconds to play in the half Ryan Day burns his final timeout with his team clinging to a three nothing lead here late in the first half we've only got 8 seconds we conceivably you can throw a ball and hope that you get a receiver to catch and get out of bounds it's got to be something to the boundary because you don't have a timeout and you don't have enough time even if you something over the middle to get your field goal team onto the field bucke guys take the timeout they drop three safeties back inside the 30 yd [Music] line the ois to the left of the formation Burton along with mie Cooper and McKai Miller split to the right 8 seconds to play in the half offset to the right first and 10 throw it quickly out on the right side getting out of Bounds at the Ohio State 48 yd line is Burton stopping the clock with three seconds to play and the Missouri crowd is wanting [Music] Mavis and here he comes this will be a 65 yd attempt it appears out the hold of Luke bow from just to the left to the right hash with 3 seconds to play in the half he connected from 61 against K State that 61 y that he connected with against K State would have been good from 64 6 24 of 30 on the season this one from 65 trying to tie the game the game offense 5y penalty fourth second down so after the delay of game Missouri will bring mavas out and send the offense back on to deal with the final 3 seconds Ohio State drops safeties back deep inside the 25 yd line zi looking for the Hail Mary here late in the first half burden splits wide to the left or mukie Cooper wide to the left side Burton in a slot right with the ois shider the lone setback play clock down to 20 they operate out of the pistol second down and 10 from the Ohio State 48 yd line three-man front for the buck guys everyone else dropped deep in coverage cook takes the snap pressure from the backside moving to his right he's going to just try to throw it can't get the ball off as he was tripped up and out of bounds to end the first half on the near sideline at about the 45 yd line of the Buckey so Ohio State after the first half a play here at the 88th cotton B in Arlington Texas leads Missouri by the score of three to nothing Eli drinkwitz will visit with TV and then with Chris jino your thoughts on the first half Howard no I think Drake Woods is not going to be happy with this team you know they're they're off-kilter but again a mistake like Johnny Walker did uh Pinn AIO State inside the one yd line he can not be happy with that again your team can't lose Poise you got to be better than nothing 112 yds of total offense for Missouri 76 for Ohio State who's playing their third team quarterback after mccort transferred to Syracuse and brown got injured here's drink with Chris coach what are your thoughts here at halftime well I mean offensively we got no rhythm we're not able to throw any completions we got to settle down protect the quarterback we got to get a drive here to start second half thank you coach at the half here at the 88th edition of the gooder

to drink easy to enjoy the budlight halftime report please drink responsibly well Matt if you're looking for a bright spot offensively for missou the Tigers are actually out gaining the Buckeyes 112 yards to 76 yards is the differential there but you know this offense that has moved up in a lot of different ways among the all-time best in Tiger history has just not had any luck yet against a Buckey defense that came in as one of the nation's best Rhythm and I think that that shows very well when you see Brady cook scrambling and trying to look for time and nobody presents themselves as a Target downfield give credit to Ohio state they're doing a really good job of clogging things up up front and then that pressure gets to cook maybe a half second earlier than he'd want so he escapes the pocket one way or another and downfield he looks up and he doesn't see anybody available it's been a really good job by Ohio State to keep him in check so far I'd expect that he has some more success after adjustments here in the second half but uh right now it is a difficult SLO for bersi's offense now meanwhile defensively for the Tigers eight tackles for loss already and yes the the starter the whole year for Ohio State hit the transfer portal Devon Brown making his first career start injured early and an ineffective after that unclear AI return in this game and they went to the backup quarterback he has not completed a pass yet with all that being said mizou up front going up against you know a Buckey's offensive line that has had a decent amount of success this year that's been a route in favor of the black and gold and that's a really encouraging sign going forward well from the very first play of the game I think it showed itself when dalen Carnell got up field and Darius Robinson finished off the first tackle it's as if Missouri knew where that run was going to go and they have come aggressively with pressure downhill coming in waves in this death row defense at and I don't care who's a quarterback for Ohio State they have talented players Missouri is doing a fantastic job against the Buckeyes just a shame that the field position game gave Ohio State a chance for a long field goal by their kicker standards to be the difference in this game so far Central Bank is your hometown bank and the only place for Tiger checking open it today at centralbank.net now here's Mike Kelly with this markham's Missouri profile tonight we profile missou running back Cody shrer his story has continued to be written since his arrival at Missouri almost

Walker Jr Missouri's second sack of the game Mike Kelly with the Call of the IBEW NAA electrifying play of the half on time and on budget that's what you hear from union electrical contractors IBEW NAA contractors want your business today and tomorrow give them a call you won't be disappointed Ohio State leading missou 3 to nothing at halftime and it's time now for our halftime player profile presented by storage Mark the official storage provider of missou Athletics Darius Robinson's a grad student from Michigan he moved from defensive tackle to end this season led the team in Sachs and was named First Team all SEC Dr Rob already has two tackles in the half both of them for loss by the way that results in $20 donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters on behalf of storage Mart storage Mart has been donating $10 for every tackle over the last several seasons ating more than $50,000 total dollars today's halftime player profile again presented by storage Mart make room for more football memories at storage Mart today and Matt this missou defense has been making a lot of memories for sure the Buckeyes only with 76 yds of offense in that first half 20 yds passing 56 on the ground Henderson with 13 carries and 44 yards I guess he's by default the offensive star of this game so far but from a tiger perspective regardless of who is a quarterback the pressure that's being applied by Blake Baker's group hopefully will be able to continue the rest of the way JC Carli has been everywhere he's been credited with a sack tackle for loss he's got seven tackles to lead the way for the Tigers Tristan Nome has been involved eight tackles for L Brad in the first half that is just a Preposterous number along with a pass break up two hurries a forced fumble and a partridge in a PIR tra Ohio State the national leader in terms of passing yards allowed and Brady cook only has 28 yards passing in this first half second in the nation in terms of points allowed at about 11 per and third in Total Defense in terms of of yardage and we're seeing that play out here it's interesting though Matt because if you look statistically they don't generate a lot of sacks typically they do have three so far tonight they don't generate a lot of turnovers either but I think we're seeing what stands out about them obviously athletically they really pop and they're just so assignment correct and disciplined they're willing to give you a little bit but they don't don't give you a whole heck of a lot yeah they are very impressive in the way that they stay in the play and keep their Lanes but they have been disruptive up front and I think that we've heard Jack Sawyer's name a few times and he really has been despite only having a couple of tackles in this game he does have one of those sacks and and of course the tackle for loss with it he has been a force up front and Missouri's got to solve that problem in the second half absolutely be sure to subscribe to our podcast inside

barbasol shaving cream America's leader for a close comfortable shave better bu barbasol now with a call of the second half here's Mike Kelly and Howard Richards well we have one record in this the 88th edition of the Goodyear cotton ball Missouri and Ohio State have combined for the fewest points in the first half with three points so that is a note from Bo Carter historian here at the coton ball first half numbers Missouri again as we told you an offensive standpoint 112 yds of offense on 32 plays 30 plays run by the Buckey just 76 yards of offense Henderson 13 carries 55 for Ohio State Brady cook 11 carries for 56 for Missouri cooked five of 11 for just 28 yds Missouri will get the football to begin the second half and we'll see if they can get something going in this first possession of the second half Howard Richards I think they've got to settle down of course get back Getting Back to Basics executing you know understanding down and distance not trying to do too much you know you're trying to get to that yard to gain to make a first down get to that yard game don't be a yard CH again it's the fundamentals the layoff doesn't help at all but but you've got to be able to overcome [Music] that so Ohio state will kick off Maris Johnson and Marvin Burks Jr back de awaiting the kickoff from Fielding of Ohio [Music] State he'll kick from left to right [Music] here's the kickoff to begin the second half angling calling for the fair Catch and Fielding the ball two yards Deep In The End Zone Maris Johnson it'll be a Touchback as we pause 10 seconds for station identification you're listening to missou football on the Central Bank tiger network from learfield Missouri offense comes under the field Conor Conor talison at Center Cameron Johnson and noran mimu on the right side tigers have Delgado and Foster on the left two players bunched to the left side in motion comes Cooper back to the left side bootleg back to the right hit by Sawyer and brought down at the 15 yd line on the boot leg was Brady cook as Sawyer was unblocked coming in hard from the right side of the Missouri offense a loss of 10 on the play Sawyer is a tremendously good player he is seen that play enough times to not be fooled by me reacted very well completely unblocked you can get away with that with a lot of defensive events not soer so second and 20 coming up for Missouri operating from its 15 down three nothing here as we begin the second half inside of the cotton bll in Arlington Texas running left Cody shrer pushes the pile out to about the 20 yd line for a pick up of five it'll bring up third and 15 for Missouri Williams a defensive tackle on the stop for the Buckeyes yeah he just comes off the block of Cameron Johnson Johnson's got to be able to sustain maintain contact with Williams get him off the ball missoui one for eight on third down in the first half third down and 15 tigers go empty with three players bunched to the right side Shader split wide to the right side Brady cook takes the snap pressure throws it left side on the sideline for Theo whis can make the reception at the Missouri the Ohio State 41 yd line so it brings up a fourth down and three and out on your first possession of the second half it's unfortunate you on a play like that you got a receiver marching down the the hashes on the sideline right you know work your way back to the inside of the field give your quarterback ch number to make the play now the quarterback can do better too lead your receiver more towards the inside of the field especially if he's got a a step on the defender Ohio state with a chance to get good field position for its first possession of the second half standing at the 40 yd line Balor standing back inside the 10 Riley Williams hits it with the right foot a driving low spiral moving forward Fielding as Balor tripped up quickly brought down by Traves Johnson to Missouri at the 44 yd line that's where the Buckey will take over for their first possession of the second [Music] half 1331 to play in the third quarter 3 nothing in Ohio state Missouri goes three and out so the offensive woes continue for this Missouri offense 48 for Ohio State is now number 11 it's a little bit surprising again you you give some amount of credit to a good Ohio State Defense but Missouri just has not done the little things long enough to enable it to get anything going as far as a a sustained Drive K Holtz gets the start in the second half replacing Devon Brown who was injured in the first half he was 0 for four throwing the football The Freshman from Pierre South Dakota Henderson lines up behind him in the pistol first and 10 play action fake pumps hits as he throws throws it left side got a man wide open caught it on the left side at the Missouri 31 Xavier Johnson a first down to the Missouri 31 yd line 32 yd line and Johnson shaking up on the play holding his left knee as he rolls over in the white boundary over in front of the Ohio State bench pick up of 24 on the play we get throw by quarterback kleino kind of drops it into the bucket I characteriz the coverage like a bracketed coverage a high low coverage and he put it right in the right spot this Missouri safety too late getting over to Rea react to the football ch ABS drain delivered the blow the bu guys have it inside of Missouri territory after the pickup of 24 at the 32 yd line they lead it 3 nothing with 1308 to play here in the third quarter in the timeout taken to check with the injured player K holds with his first completion of the game

quarter is presented by Great Southern Bank understanding what really matters member [Music] FDIC K bazoo Athletics would like to thank our Premier Partners mu Healthcare and Shelter Insurance also thanks to Bud Light proud sponsor of bazo Athletics easy drink easy to enjoy look around this vast facility AT&T stadium in Arlington and it is packed fans yearning for some excitement Ohio State just picked up 24 yards and they have it first and 10 at the missou 32 leading three to nothing inis in at a wide receiver and a slot to the left side if bua split to the left side tied in Scott Wing to the left running back offset to the left is Henderson Tate split to the right in motion inis comes in motion down lines up slot to the right side first and 10 from the Missouri 32 inis comes back in motion left anded to hit him on a Jet Sweep on a Reser res uh reverse coming the other way egbuka throws it into the end zone incomplete intended for Tate and it brings up second and 10 so Ohio State tries some trickeration to try and get something going some of the the fans were maybe chirping a little bit because Traves Johnson grabs the receiver around the waist with that ball was completely out of play wasn't catchable by the time Johnson grabbed the receiver second and 10 from the Missouri 32 yd line for Ohio State who leads three nothing K Holtz has got Henderson lined up behind him in the pistol Scott along with inis egbuka split to the right running to the left side K Holtz chased by Nome out of bounds over on the far side at the 30 yd line picks up two on the play pretty good job there by Nome even though he didn't make The Tackle was able to stretch kold as far to the sideline as possible couldn't pick up and get additional yards Ohio state is 0 for eight on third down third down and eight coming up kols being chased throws it up for grabs on the right side incomplete as two Missouri players were putting pressure on him dalen Carnell along with Chuck Hicks so it brings up a fourth down and on comes the field goal unit Fielding connected from 44 in the first half he's 16 of 19 on the season with a long of 47 I would guess that by the end of this game Missouri's Blitz percentage will be maybe as high as it's ever been this will be a 48- yd attempt out of the hold of Jesse merco the putter from just to the right of the left hash High snap good place the kick is up and it is off the upright no good hit get the left upright no good Missouri's defense holds maybe a play like that will somehow Inspire this Missouri Tiger [Music] offense down to the field in Chris jino well Missouri still hanging in there just having to get going offensively guys as I said I certainly expected a defensive game but did I expect 3 nothing in the third quar with just 28 yds passing by the tigers not quite and Ohio State with that 24 yd pass play by K holes eclipsed its entire passing yardage from the first half so to say the offenses have struggled would be an understatement but tip of the cap to the defenses and I know you win by outscoring the opposition but usually great teams especially at this level even in this modern day and age of college football have good defenses and these are two outstanding defenses Ohio State number two scoring defense Missouri best in the SEC top 10 nationally in turnovers plus nine for Missouri maybe a turnover in the tiger favorite can turn things around if they can't get the offense going this half Chris you'll recognize this name checking in from Naples Florida Rick Cruz says that they're hosting a big watch party watching the Tigers and listening to us tonight well it's good to hear from Rick a great guy we remember him of course all those years in Colombia cheering on the Tigers and you said it earlier Mike these fans there are so so many of them in this cavernous beautiful Stadium AT&T Stadium just wanting to explode and and cheer on Missouri and then have something to cheer about it's just been so pedestrian from the Tigers again credit Ohio State's defense it has almost in its entirely with current players available that have suited up tonight but did not expect Missouri to struggle just so mightily I received a couple of text messages during halftime wondering when Iowa got invited to the cotton ball [Music] oh my goodness defensive struggle or lack of offense wherever you want to however you wanted to describe it 3 nothing in favor of Ohio State 1224 to play after the Miss field goal from 48 by Fielding Missouri will get the football Tigers will take over at the 30 Missouri basketball tomorrow for missou arena against Central Arkansas final non-conference game of the season for Dennis gates at his team tickets available if you want to go to missou Arena to watch the game and listen to it here on the Central Bank tiger network with Brad trago and Kathy wion who do a terrific job with the Missouri women's basketball [Music] broadcast second possession of the second half for Missouri first and 10 from its 30 three players bunched to the left side including Norfleet and Cody Shader with mookie Cooper Luther Burton and Theo split to the right ball on the right hash with Brady cook at quarterback against the four-man front with two safeties back now they shift shraer back into the back field goes in motion to the left now takes the handoff running right and gets hit at the 31 brought down at the 32 Chambers the linebacker makes the stop nothing doing up front as Ohio State's defensive front has controlled the line of scrimage in this game yeah Sher ends up taking the ball a little bit wider there's a big hole in the middle that he didn't see if he turns it up quickly he can pick up some big yards there norle Wing to the left in motion goes Cooper to the left side cook wants to throw on a second and eight throws it out of the back or underneath he's got norle cut down at the 34 after a pickup of two brings up a third down and six as Jordan Hancock makes the stop for Ohio State this red norle is only going to get better he sees more touches starts to get the feel for defense his blocking is really good especially for a freshman be a big weapon for this team go at third and seven for Missouri two players split to the right side Theo whis to the left offset left is the running back five in the Box in motion goes Cooper to the right side third down in seven wanting to throw cook moving to his right now we're going to run the football angling to the left to the 40 to the 40 five to Midfield and he's got the Missouri first down out of Bounds at the Ohio State 49 here on the near sideline of central bank first down and into paky territory comes Missouri cook saw a gaping hole about the size of a tractor trailer that brings mou's equipment down here the only mistake he made was that he didn't run it sooner pick up of 18 to the Buckey 49 for Missouri out of the pistol can that get Missouri in Rhythm offensively three receivers to the left side ball on the left hash nor fet in motion mishandling the quick snap was Brady cook it was high and wide to the right an errand snap by Conor Tyson and cook has to cover it up back at the 43 yd line again Tyson is this has happened far too many times this season and it's clearly clearly his fault cuz he's the only guy moving on offense loss of eight on the play second and 18 you just cannot afford those types of laps from the Missouri 43 second and 18 two receivers to the right nor Fleet Wing to the left side offset left is Burton looking throwing underneath Burton catches at the 44 wrestled down quickly by Chambers the linebacker again Burton really unable to get anything going for himself offensively just his second reception uh they've got to be able to put him in a situation where he can use his size an agility more get him something across the middle of the field where he can get into open field third and 16 Missouri just two of 10 on third down three receivers to the right side offset left is shider cook takes the snap against the fourman front looking now pressure comes he's going to be hidden sacked as the pocket collapses Jack SAR once again Missouri's got no answer for him from that def end position Howard no not at all and again the protection breakdowns but again cook and you understand that that's what they're bringing to you okay you got to get rid of the football or you got to run it that decision has to be made much sooner he just overpowered Aman mimu yeah he he did uh but by the same token you know you've got to be able to as the quarterback you got to be able to figure that out up front and either move to your right move to your left much more quickly Bard awaits the punt from Riley wood Williams who stands at his 25 bowed back inside the 25 at the Ohio State 21 a high spiral that hangs up calling for the fair catch moving to his right and Fielding the ball at the 25 Jaden balard flag comes in from The Far Side with 839 to play in the third quarter hold against Ohio state is going to be the call side judge made the call from The Far Side he was lined up inside the 10 through the flag for the hold during the kick

number my friend well I'm I'm looking for Missouri to get a couple of Runners on base and then we're aiming for a three-run homer here as we're getting into the later Innings of this play but what a player that Jack Sawyer is certainly from my standpoint he's the player of the game right now it's got to be somebody on defense and he's LED that great defensive line for the Buckeyes it's a few times he's been unblocked and Miss's got to figure out a way to find someone that can keep him out of the back fi over the tight end lines up in the backfield offset to the left deep hand hand off running right Henderson met in the hole at the 14 yd line and driven backwards by Mr Chuck Hicks who's been terrific and linebacker this season for Blake Baker's defense forward progress to the 15 second and 10 coming up but that's a much better play up front that time especially by Christian Williams using your hand to sheding those blockers more of that Henderson goes out Johnson and line up to the right of the formation Stover Wing to the left offset left in the backfield is Scott the backup tight end Johnson in motion to the left tries to come back right on the Jet Sweep sheds one tackle then hit at the 17 yd line brought down at the 18 by Missouri's Dre Norwood brings up a third down and seven for the buck guys from their 18 yd line yeah Johnny Walker had a chance to get him in the back field could not wrap them up B guys 0 for nine tonight on third down playing their 13 quarterback The Freshman Lincoln K Holtz he's got Johnson the wide receiver lined up in the pistol stretch play running right Johnson cuts it back left across the 25 out to the 29 yd line for a Buckey first down you just can't allow that to happen on third to seven with the back of quarterback you know they're probably going to run there's a good chance they're going to run the football you just have to be prepared and play better [Music] Johnson and Stover go out Henderson comes back in with the wide receiver inis first and 10 for the pck guys from the Ohio State 29 they lead at 3 nothing with less than 7 minutes to play in the third Ohio State 116 yd a total offense Missouri 115 kols running back offset left toss sweep for Henderson with a Blocker in front trying to get outside on the left side cuts it inside at the 35 russle down shy of the first down at the 37 yd line by Missouri is Tristan Nome don't know how many tackles Tristan Nome has but he has a [Music] lot and he has maybe been Missouri's Most Valuable Player on defense this evening Pick Up of eight on first down second and two coming [Music] up Henderson offset to the left of K Holtz three receivers to the right in along with Tate and ebuka the tight end Scott tight to the left side second and two for Ohio State inside handoff Henderson's got the first down to Midfield brought down at the Missouri 48 yd line as he just navigated a quick hitter off the left side for another Buckeye first down they're very good at running that quick hand off to the running back and Missouri's got to be ready and react much more quick than they have been and you wonder if Missouri's defense is starting to wear down a bit offense hasn't been able to do anything 5 and a half minutes to play here in the third quarter Buck guys have it at the Missouri 48 after the pickup of 15 Henderson offset to the right K holds the quarterback brings a Man in Motion in it's back to the right side tied in Wing to the right of Scott play action fake moving to the left wants to throw back and he bounces it in front of the intended target Scott the tight end pressure from Darius Robinson brings up a second and 10 sometimes you wonder guys like why that play when you're running the ball effectively yes many times I wonder you know initially I thought that maybe the way the ball floated that Johnny Walker may have tipped it I think it just went over his hand barely but lucky that ball wasn't picked off by someone wearing black Jersey just over the tight end tight to the right side two receivers to the left Uka split just outside the right hash running back Henderson offset right K holes face second and 10 operating from the Missouri 48 running to the right side trying to get outside Johnson tripped up at the Missouri 48 yd line good job by trz Johnson to come up from his safety position and submarine the ball carrier so it brings up a third down and [Music] 10 F Trends you say Ohio state is going to have a difficult time making this first this first making a first down here on 1 iow State 1 for 10 Missouri two for 11 three receivers split to the left including the tight end Stover offset right is Henderson H holds pressure comes FR side just unloads the football and throws it high intended for Tate on the right side brings up a fourth down and Ryan day is going to send on the punt team with 4 minutes and 34 seconds to play in the third yeah when you send your star dalen Carell unblocked on the end of the the line of scrimmage I mean what are you trying to do to put your quarterback in a tough situation there's nothing else he can do except throw the football away before the pass rusher gets it Chris Abrams drain standing inside the 10 awaiting the punt of merco who has been terrific tonight averaging better than 52 per punt this a coverage style kick highend overend calling for the

support M from Great Southern Bank also brought to you by Shelter Insurance ranked number one in customer satisfaction for auto insurance in the central region by JD Power five of the last 6 years we're your Shield we're your shelter one of the reasons why the cotton ball is one of the most enjoyable destinations for any football team is the job that the cotton ball staff does in making the stay for the student athletes and everyone that travels as perfect as possible they are absolutely terrific we haven't been here long but talking to the players and the coaches and everyone else they've just raved about the treatment yeah and 10 years ago uh it was very much the same and I think you know from all the bowls that Missouri has been to this one far out shines the others Tigers take over at their 5 yd line trailing three nothing 425 to play in the third out of the pistol Trader running right kind of stutter stepped just beyond the line of scrimmage able to push the pile out to about the nine picks up uh maybe three and a half four yards well we talked about this during the break you know Missouri needs to be able to get something sustained give the defense a rest Jackson makes the stop pick up of three stretch play running left to the boundary and hit behind the line of skirm and brought down at the seven for a loss of two is Cody shrer so it brings up third and long for Missouri who is two for 11 on third down [Music] tonight you get the feeling that Eli drink work anything that work exactly it's been the Ohio State defensive front that has controlled the line of scrimmage third down down on a strike delivered by Brady cook for a central bank first down a little right to left slant and Missouri picks up the first down big big play for the Tigers they needed to get that first down keep this drive going Sunny Styles delivers the blow first and 10 for Missouri running to the left side Cody shider comes across the 20 yd line puts the shoulder down out to the 25 and another Missouri first down that's the Cody Raider that we know he punishes two Ohio State Buckeye Defenders as he gains that first [Music] down he didn't receive a blow he delivered first and 10 from the 25 Maris Johnson split to the left coming out to join him Luther Burton Tigers going on balance to the left side mimo shifts to the left in motion back to the right Burton being directed where to go by Brady cook out of the pistol first and 10 for a Missouri in movement up [Music] front B start number 79 offense 5y penalty first down mimu has struggled tonight with Jack Sawyer his assignment over in the right side and then shifting going unbalanced to the left movement for the talented young man from Lee Summit he's getting an education from sawer who is a tremendous defensive end for the Buckey first and 15 from the 24 Missouri to6 to play in the third 3 nothing Ohio State out of the pistol Trader behind Brady cook goes in motion right cook looking quarterback draw along the left hash bounces it outside to the 25 gets to the 30 near sideline popped out of Bounds at the 35 Missouri's bench looking for a late hit call into the white boundary will not be flag but it's a first down pick up of 15 for cook and Missouri moves the chain Sunny Styles deliver the late hit or what appeared to be a late hit was pretty close he was out of bounds no doubt as we see the replay he is a foot a yard outside the bounds OS and actually from his quarterback position was the man that delivered the hit first in 10 for Missouri operating from its 35 132 to play in the third play action fake cook has time throws it deep post pattern intended Mars Johnson at the 25 Russell down at the 15 first down Missouri the Texas native Maris Johnson we have been looking for this play the safeties have been creeping up they've been playing very shallow 10 to 11 yards just waited for the time for missou to go play action bring those safs up freeze him and deliver that big blow 50 yd strike three receivers bunch left running to the left Cody Sher is going to be hit at the 15 trying to move the pile moves the pile to the 11 yd line tigers in the kih red zone for the first time today with 50 seconds to play in the third trailing three up Sawyer on the Stop and it's hard to believe that this is the first time they've been in the Red Zone one of the best Red Zone teams all season long in all the college football number one in the nation 54 of 55 coming in let here from our referee D and under further review Eli drinkwitz was upset as that play was unfolding was in the ear of the allian and now they're going to review it but Maris Johnson The Freshman from Dickinson Texas with the biggest play of the game for Missouri offensively a 50-yard reception on a post pattern from Brady cook in Missouri in the kih Red Zone looking for its first points of the night trailing three nothing with 36 seconds to play in the third quarter and we have seen this story from Brady cook to Maris Johnson kind of wish we'd seen it a few more times this year nevertheless it could not have come at a more opportune time so our first review of the Night comes with 36 seconds to play in the third quarter so it seems as a you know Missouri with the running game trying to low Ohio State to sleep lull them to sleep and then bam you go over the top of the big play like that one minute into the review I'm sorry hard no I was just going to say and then now that will conceivably loosen the safeties up push them back a little deeper and maybe get stuff open more over the middle of the field let here from Derrick Anderson after review the defense did not get off the field prior to the snap this is illegal substitution number 58 of the defense it's a 5y penalty from the uh previous spot it'll be first and five from the 10 yd line first and five great job by Eli drinkwitz to get the attention of the linesman great job from those if it wasn't Eli to bring it to his attention to challenge that with the officials three receivers split to the right side Cody shider lines up in the pistol tied in norly tight to the left side first and five for Missouri from the Ohio State 10 yd line offset left with the shift to shider now flag movement up front the Umpire F start number 72 offense 5yd penalty still first down Xavier Doan with a little bit of a Flinch on the shift 5yd penalty will move the football back to the 15 it'll be first and 10 first you just self-inflicted wounds no doubt but again you know I don't want to keep blame everything on the layoff but this is what happens often when your team has been out of SN three players split to the right first and 10 from the 15 offset to the left now shider after the shift running to the boundary as Brady cook the quarterback to the 10 bounced out of bounds near sideline at the six good play by the linebacker Cody Simon they're going to Mark him out actually at the seven with help from Javon Foster gets up pick up of eight on the play second and two and that's the end of the third quarter the end of third Missouri will face a second and two from the Ohio State 7 when the fourth quarter begins

takes a 73 lead that extra point means $100 to special Olympic of Missouri courtesy of River Region Credit Union Missouri with much needed points tigers with their first touchdown of the game and they take a 73 lead Chris trino they're leaning on their best players as they should Brady Cook's been so much better this second half modest numbers passing for the game but they're better this half he's also run the ball really well and shraer as Howard ople said running behind that left side of the line that's been just so solid game after game all year Delgado and Foster and Missouri up 73 Buckeyes through three quarters don't have a touchdown they're going to have to get busy and can Missouri's defense continue to shut down the Buckeyes here this fourth quarter it was only 4 and A2 minutes guys but that was an important drive to give that defense some time to rest just a bit exactly and and that may be what this defense need because they've been able to keep Ohio State on the Run pressure on the Young quarterback and being real it maybe gives him more energy to continue to do that Johnson standing back at the goal line kicking from left to right Harrison Mavis for Missouri with the Tigers leading 73 here's the kickoff high end over in it will not be returned bounces about 5 yds deep and skips out of the back of the end zone Ohio State offensively 139 yds of offense K holds their quarterback one of eight for 24 [Music] yds they'll take over at their 25 trailing for the first time tonight you wonder does that have an impact on a young freshman quarterback getting his first significant action in the game or in the season oh it absolutely does especially in a game of of this magnitude you know where uh you're playing against an experienced defense and you haven't taken that many snaps you pretty much been taken only scout team reps know it's an adjustment especially seeing a lot of different looks and blitzes that you've never seen and we've seen him throw the ball up a couple of times just for grabs High know he's got two receivers split to the left in motion goes Johnson to the right side pick the hand off to him straight drop looking throws it left side caught coming back at bua across the 45 across or two Midfield and brought down between the hash marks by JC Carli of Missouri that time pineos did a good job of hanging in there find in the open Missouri playing a little Loosely there and egbuka comes back that's an experienced receiver for you pick up of 24 for the bucks Johnson along with egbuka and Tate to the left side offset right is Henderson tied in tight to the right side K Holtz wants to throw looks throws it left or right Sid line caught by Scott the tied in at the 42 yd line just a little out route in front of the Missouri Defender giving him a lot of cushion there Johnny Walker Jr comes in defensively Niles Gaddy goes off pick up of eight on the play second and two for the Buckeyes lost only one time final game of the regular season against Michigan playing with their 13 te quarterback stretch play running right as Henderson gets outside he's got the first down to the 40 it appears depends on the spot of the football they will Mark him out just shy of the first down ball placed down just just shy of the 40 yd line brings up a third down and short Nome runs him out of bounds this will be just got enough of him to course [Music] his play clock down to 15 quarterback sneak first down Ohio State that's a good job by the quarterback I mean he got low and he drove his legs forward exactly what you want to see from your quarterback on a quarterback sneak Chuck Hicks on the stop first 10 for the Buckeyes from the missou 39 or from just inside the missou 40 yd line 13-10 to play 73 [Music] Missouri Tate splits to the left side egbuka to the right tight end lines up Wing to the left side under Center goes Brown play action fake on the straight drop looking left pressure backside fluster in the pocket running to the right puts the shoulder down at the 39 forward progress to the 37 brought down by Hicks as he was able to step inside of the other linebacker Nome you'll take that even though they didn't get him well behind the line of scrimmage I think he only picked up a yard or so maybe two new just overran him B him to get another yard Gaddy comes in late defensively Darius Robinson comes off second and eight for the Buckey operating from the miss the left tied in shifts to the right side of the formation tied right offet left is Henderson Kos takes the snap inside handoff running left

drain ripped it away brings up a fourth down I'm telling you I I thought Chris ha's drain was going to jump that route that ball kind of hung up there and Kad just kind of closed just in time I thought he was going to really try to pick off that football and on comes the punt team with merco he had his eyes mostly on receiver and not on the ball but he still made a really good play breaking up the pass you make that play there and it might be lights out for the Buckey merco stands at his 46 back inside the 10 is Chris Abrams drain high end over in cover style kick calling for the fair

possibly elude Norwood he's playing way too Loosely he had both hands on the football just couldn't just couldn't secure it good in 10 for the puck guys operating from their 43 441 to play Missouri 14 Ohio state three h h holds looking left flag stops false start against Ohio State false start mzero offense 5y penalty still second [Music] down moves the football back second and 15 coming up please reset the game clock to 4:41 football placed down at the Bucky 38 yd line two receivers split to the right ball on the right Hash k Holtz Walks Behind his offensive line play clocked down to 18 Anderson offset to his left and Missouri Burns a timeout with 441 to play Missouri this is a 30 second [Music] timeout Chris we had to cut you off to get to the break during the last time out anything else you wanted to add oh thanks Mike no I I think I really was able just to squeeze it all in so the timing was fine but um just really impressive this is how Miss's won games again they haven't been by 14 to three scores usually more points on the board both ways but just taking over in the fourth quarter staying persistent consistent with that running game and protecting leads late it's it's really been impressive again a defensive game I thought would be all along it it was a slow starting game even by defensive standards at 3- nothing I didn't think that but but this is really more what I uh thought we might see somewhere in this range a little more points for both teams but Missouri's defense has just been so so good and the offense just took over late with that offensive line just wore down a really good Ohio State front two drives better than 90 yds second and 15 for the Buckey from the 38 trailing 14-3 with 441 to play inside hand off Henderson running right brought down by Nome at the 45 yd line brings up a third down and nine and a chance for Missouri to get out of the [Music] drive Bucky's going Tempo kho looking to his right comes back left throws it underneath he's got Johnson sheds a tackler at the 48 then brought down at the Missouri 49 yd line shy of the first down brings up a fourth down and three you know it's going to be four down territory from here on out for Ohio State new some on the stop for Missouri Fourth and three for the bucke guys can Missouri deliver the dagger here K Holts looking throws it on a slant caught by a bua at the 44 yd line for a buckeye first down coming from left to right in front of Dre Norwood and a buckeye first down Booka did a good job and he got to the line the gain and plus one soon as he catches the ball he's already has first down yardage 3 minutes and 43 seconds to play Johnson split to the right side with it egbuka tied in Wing to the right split to the left Tate out of the shotgun koltz fourman front one safety back tiger showing Blitz koltz straight drop looking to his left pressure backside throws it on the right sideline incomplete intended for egbuka with Chris Abrams drain in coverage with 325 to play Missouri leading 14 to3 Ohio State again getting away with a little bit of a hold you know Darius Robinson trying to plead escapes the officials and you know I'm on his side not just because I'm for Missouri here but I mean they are getting away with literal murder on the offensive line and the officials are not calling it murder may be a little extreme MOA how about mua three receivers split to the left side second and 10 for Ohio State false start against our off sides against Missouri Darius Robinson was 10 yds into the backfield before the ball was snapped offside unabated to the quarterback number six of the defense it's a 5y penalty still second down I understand wanting to get a good jump jumping wow don't give them anything don't give Ohio State a chance of getting back into it or even getting a first down Tigers trying to win 11 games for the first time since 2014 leading 14-3 with 325 to play straight drop pressure comes front side throw it incomplete for Henderson out of the back field on the right side at the 30 at the 43 yd line Darius Robinson put pressure on the quarterback so it's third down and five for the Buckeyes from the missou 39 Darius Robson just playing Fun him in the sou easy swim move around the offensive tackle Joe Moore in at a defensive tackle one he pass pressure backside ball comes free covered up by Missouri dalen Carnell came on the blitz the ball came free and Missouri recovered it Joe Moore with the recovery shades of 24 sh Ray scoop and score courtesy of Michael Sam and Missouri delivers The Knockout blow with 313 to play here in the 88th edition of the cotton [Music] M the play has the review well as the hand going forward is what they're going to look at Joe Mo very Alert covered up the football after the hit by dalen Carnell and the Missouri crowd delivering chance of SEC again our soccer postgame coverage will include the trophy ceremony Chris will perhaps have a conversation or two with a player on the field should Missouri close this out 313 away picking up its first bow win since the Citrus Bowl in [Music] 15 play Under review after review the ruling on the field is confirmed Missour football Missour football [Music] fellas Eli drinkwitz and the Tigers 313 away from win number 11 and perhaps finishing the season ranked as high as number [Music] five Cody Shader his ninth 100yd rushing game lines up behind Brady cook in the pistol takes the hand off running left cuts it back towards the right between the hash marks forward progress just shy of Midfield and Ryan Day Burns a timeout with 309 to play timeout Ohio State this is their first time out of the half 30 seconds Tai Hamilton on the [Music] stop it was 10 years ago the Missouri came into this building and one by 10 over Oklahoma State cealing it with the scoop and score by Shane Ray the Tigers 309 away from win number 11 for the first time since 2014 season and Chris jino an opportunity in year four for Eli drinkwitz to continue the momentum with a win over a national brand as they show Chase Daniel on the screen to the Missouri fans running left left Sher second level forward progress inside of Ohio State territory still on his feet to the 40 yd line with 301 to play another Central Bank first down as he continues to add to his Missouri single season rushing record really giving the crowd something to cheer about just the extraordinary effort of CI shraer never giving up everyone knows his story he was a walk- on forgotten by many teams got his opportunity last year with the Missouri Tigers sixth on the dep chart worked his way up an eventual starter and now becomes something of a urban legend the legend of Cody continues to write another chapter running left shider hit at the 40 yd line he stopped Bucky burn another timeout with 224 Away St Missouri's 11th victory of the season have 30 second time [Music] out what's going through your mind right now I listen this team did not play well for virtually three quarters uh but they have found a way to win and they made plays at an opportune time when they had to make plays beating a good Ohio State team and and that in and of itself is impressive CH Daniel looking like a biker with that leather jacket on down on the sideline so Chris what's going through your mind well I I just think it shows we talked at least off the air you and I about the trajectory of te teams going in Ohio State's talented even without some of its players but Missouri is so connected their Brotherhood they've got guys who are going to go pro too but all their healthy guys made themselves available to play in this game while Ohio state had a handful of guys out and not a surprise Miss's guys showed up in this game when it got really tough late Trader running right kind of dances s steps one man forward progress to the buck at 35 with 28 to play in Ryan Day burnsy's final timeout and the other thing too that's going to be interesting Missouri's got some guys who have already said we're coming back Joseph Charleston for one there going to be others that are going to follow suit what does Theo whis decide to do and how all end is this Brotherhood towards really trying to put together another terrific season next year absolutely and you know if you just look at the early schedule uh it looks relatively favorable especially if Missouri does get those more experienced players to come back mie Cooper announced that he's going to come back Joseph Charleston announced again there's a lot of intrigue continuing and and you also look at what's taking place from a recruiting standpoint but also Chris jino what Missouri's done in the portal so far well absolutely they plugged in Holes the offensive lineman Green from Oklahoma starts right away probably the cornerback from Clemson Pride the running back Carol got a great chance from Georgia State I like the schedule too Howard much like I did this year they're set up well next year keeping at Cook angling to the left side Dives towards the first down at the 30 yd line they're going to Mark him down just shy as the clock runs with 209 left as Missouri is going to pick up its third consecutive Cotton Bowl win and just hearing you say that Mike I I think is music to the ears of Missouri fans all over Chase and the boys did it back in ' 08 led by Tony Temple James and the boys did it in 14 and Brady cook and Cody Shader and the boys are going to do it tonight here in Dallas fourth and less than a yard 136 to play drink Burns a timeout again socket postgame show we'll

half I mean a game that was three to nothing Ohio State entering the fourth quarter and of course it ends with backto back 90 plus yard drives from misso to wind up winning the game by 11 just how we drew it up right I mean exactly how you would want to see that kind of game finish uh but uh I mean again it's it's not about how you start it's how you finish and I think there are a lot of players that you can point to on this bazo team uh that that honestly you know struggled and and probably deserved a little bit of criticism at first with how they kind of played but again you can put all of that in the rear viw mirror and decide look it's all about how we approach this next play how do we take the next step forward a and all 22 guys on the field for missou at any point were able to have that mentality and just move on and and see that look you're not out of this game it's only a three-point game and so uh finally missou able to break through and uh uh wow the defensive performance uh

to the left side now back to the right cook takes the snap inside handoff running left shraer to the house to the house and missoui is on the board with 14 55 to play Mike Kelly with the Call of what turned out to be the game-winning score it came from Cody shider who else right 29 carries 128 yards and that touchdown tonight helping to lead missou to a cotton bow title 14-3 over Ohio State Cody Sher is our laborers union highly skilled player of the game the laborers union and its contractors are a winning team that together create a foundation worth building on for more information visit build union.com we'll talk more about shers big night coming up but first let's pause 10 seconds for station identification you're listening to missou football Cody shraer with 128 yards rushing tonight 1,627 yards on the season that is mou's single season rushing record moving past both Tyler batty who held the record for his 2021 season and Devin West for his 1998 campaign West was in second entering tonight now as a fellow Mobberly native I do have to point out the Devon West bow numbers were not added on to that total just going to put it out there ghost spans but with that being said Cody shraer a tremendous year and and capped off by you know a really decisive performance in that fourth quarter to helped to put that game away after it was a slog for this missou offense through the first nearly three quarters yeah I believe by my mat he had more about half of his total rushing uh yardage in that fourth quarter and it's great to have a running back that you can rely upon when you know that the opposing defense is going to have to try and make sure that they commit more numbers forward to stop the run when they know they have to get the football back when they're down and they have to you know try to find ways to uhh to affect the Run game in that sense but shraer it almost made him better I mean with the way that he is able to to run downhill uh in those situations follow his blocks well and essentially close the game for this missou offense defense absolutely did its job but the fact that mizou was able to not only take the lead in that moment but make sure that it iced away the game as best it could with its offense there's only one guy to give it to in that sense and mou's got one of the best closers I think in the country when it comes to running backs that you rely upon in those situations and one of the best stories in the country too espn.com had yet another piece on Cody Sher that came out recently and and coach dritz said even he didn't really want him there was there was a booster that just that said hey you should check out this Trader Kitt he works out at the same gym as me and drood was like all right keep keep the money flowing into the program and I'll I'll let this guy walk on and shraer goes from about eighth on the running back dep chart to eighth in the Heisman voting it it's just a remarkable story of a guy that literally nobody inivision one wanted even Eli drinkwitz it admittedly and he he finishes you know on a on a big stage in Prime Time beating Ohio State it's just incredible again I mean when Eli drinkwitz I believe on tiger talk before last season said the world is going to know Cody sher's name what kind of foresight he had in that moment but again I mean you talk about it we were anticipating this performance from him and and obviously aside from just this game the season has been remarkable one to remember for sure uh but I mean to have a finale like that that's worthy of that season uh to be able to get o up and over 105 rushing yards to get that record to pass Tyler batty against this Ohio State Defense which has been one of the toughest defenses in all of college football this season I mean there's no better way to cap it off for a very special young man that's made a huge impact on this team so again Sher 128 rushing yards and a touchdown tonight the single season rushing record at 1,627 yards he had a rushing TD in 10 consecutive games games to finish out his final year of college football the second longest streak in missou history this was also his ninth 100 yard rushing game this campaign and those were some of the key points in a 14-3 victory for missou over Ohio State both programs finishing the Year 11-2 we're brought to you by show me zero help make Missouri road safer with four steps buckle up phone down slow down and drive sober simple actions save lives we'll talk a little a little bit more about mou's offense and a couple of the Milestones that were accomplished on that side of the ball coming up but we got to talk about this defense which again held the buck eyes down all night long that is next when we continue on the

Carnell came on the blitz the ball came free and Missouri recovered it Joe Moore with the recovery Mike Kelly with the call as part of mou's 14 to3 victory over Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl classic and the party in columia and Dallas and everywhere in between between certainly brought to you in part by budlight proud sponsor of missou Athletics easy to drink easy to enjoy this missou defense under Blake Baker who thankfully will be sticking around thanks to a contract extension and boy did they show out against Ohio State only 203 yards of total offense for the Buckeyes that's not only their worst offensive game this season it's their worst offensive game this season by 125 yards the previous low was 328 against ruter back on November 4th and unfortunately just don't have the time as we're we're doing this live here to see how far back that goes but it it's hard to Envision and and I recognize the fact that a lot of key pieces for Ohio State including their you know their Heisman candidate Marvin Harrison and wide receiver their starting quarterback at Kyle McCord and they had one of their running backs opt out they had another key receiver who who left the you know the liked it not to play in this game they had you know Devin Brown making his first career start he got hurt right away and they had to go deeper into the depth chart I'm going to tell you right now I really don't care I mean it's it's fourstar it's fourstar and five-star guys throughout the roster who come in and it's next man up for Ohio State and whichever man came up that man went down when they went up against this missou defense which was absolutely Sensational pretty much from the opening gun yeah look Ryan day is not short on talent I think we know that for sure he might be short on EXP experience with those guys but again you're talking about uh some of the more talented players that this that this game can provide and mou had to make sure that they honed in on trayon Henderson in this game because again he can really affect you on the ground and see he did get a good amount of the workload but missou did an excellent job on him and man I got to credit guys like Chuck Hicks and Tristan new who were honed in on that guy and made sure that he did not get loose for a lot of those plays so I think what needed to make sure happened was that whatever Ohio State still had as far as its strengths and there were still many to worry about you had to make sure that you neutralized them as much as possible turned them into a one-dimensional offense I think they did exactly that and the game plan was worked to Perfection well that's a great point about the linebackers because you know no Chad Bailey obviously he's been hurt for the majority of of the season and then Tyron Hopper unable to play in this game too so those were your two starting linebackers that you assumed you were going to have as starting linebackers at the beginning of the year and so you got to go to your next men up in Hicks and new Hicks finishing with four tackles including a tfl and boy Tristan new was everywhere in this game he finishes with 10 stops and a team best two and a half tackles for loss in the contest and we can't talk quite yet about some people that might be joining Hicks and new next season in that linebacker room but I'll tell you what I mean you lose guys like Hopper and Bailey and you could have a lot of concerns about that that group there I really don't man seeing those two play and and knowing what's going to be coming in in 2024 I think there's a lot of optimism at that position well again and you're talking about experience you know because they it's one thing to have the talent it's the other thing to know what to do in those situations and I think the the plays that Tristan Newsome was able to make filling in for Tyron Hopper before this game you know he had to fill in uh in the Arkansas game towards the end of the season uh some other uh chances to get into the uh to the action before that I I just think the the ways that he's been able to to learn learn on the Fly sometimes and be able to improve his game in that sense uh really helped him out here and again you're talking about both those guys factoring in most likely to to next year's uh team and again I think Blake Baker's uh defensive Personnel uh really showed out in this game uh we he talked earlier this week about the fact that when missou is playing multiple guys when they're switching out a bunch of different players on defense that they're actually a little bit better you know when they're splitting some of those reps and I think you saw that today especially when you were down of course Hopper and Bailey and n rraw as well just a whole bunch of guys stepping up and that's been the story all season long so shout out to those guys who will be back next season also shout out to some guys that we we don't anticipate will return next year one of them we know we can't Darius Robinson he finishes with two more tackles for loss First Team all at a defensive end spot after spending most of his career before that at defensive tackle CHR Abrams drain another pass break up he led the SEC in that category and was top five nationally entering the cotton bow and JC Carli 11 tackles to lead the team and he also had a sack trying to build on that resume as he tries to to make himself into a an NFL player and we certainly wish him and rest of his teammates like Kad and Darius Robinson the best of luck as they likely will hear their names called in the NFL draft coming up in the spring missou Athletics would like to thank our premier Partners mu Healthcare and Shelter Insurance on a special night for Tiger football fans win number 11 in Miss first

Athletics retirement Education Foundation is a charitable program welcome back to the laborers union wrap-up show first and 10 for Missouri operating from its 35 132 to play in the third play action fake cook has time throws it deep post pattern nintend Mars Johnson at the 25 Russell down at the 15 first down Missouri the Texas native Mars Johnson Mike Kelly with the Call of the play that probably turned the cotton bow the Tigers were down three to nothing they went on from there to have backto back 90 plus yard scoring drives to take down Ohio state 14-3 is your final we continue with the wrap-up show brought to you by the Missouri laborers union and its contractors from the inside missou Athletics podcast studios in Columbia I'm Brad trago joined by ktgs Andy Humphrey so again talking about that potential play Andy and then we'll kind of springboard from that to talk a little bit more about mou's offense tonight the Tigers before that play had 150 yards of total offense in 43 minutes and 30 seconds and zero points from there 181 yards the rest of the way starting with that bomb to Johnson and of course all 14 points that missou would need but before that the Tigers just could not figure anything out in the game and after that just seemed like a a weight was lifted off the shoulders of this tiger offense yeah I mean it was a multitude of issues you know some of it was pass protection some of it was you know receivers not being able to find openings down field some of it I thought was just maybe miscommunication between Brady cook and some of his receivers on maybe those improv plays where he's trying to roll out and and find receivers uh uh on the fly but uh all in all it resulted in mizou just punting on its first eight possessions and yeah you had a whole uh you got a whole lot of questions as far as you know whether this team was going to be able to find answers against the nation's top passing defense coming into the game and then all of a sudden that happened and it just takes one spark sometimes and Maris Johnson has provided that in in past games for maou in his true freshman season which has been amazing to watch of course uh but uh but again it just seemed like things as you mentioned got a whole lot easier weight off the shoulders Cody sher's running better offensive Line's getting more push up front cook is is on his on the same page with receivers like Theo whis he dropped one in the bucket to Theo on the very next drive and then of course threads the needle to to burden for the the second touchdown I mean it just seemed that that one play elevated the game of everybody on that offense it's amazing how that can happen sometimes but uh again that was the finishing play that misso needed to make sure that they asserted control in this game cuz we're asking for somebody to assert and control and missou finally did and going up against one of the nation's very best defenses when you put that in perspective moua pretty respectable 331 yards of total offense 203 yards rushing headlined by Cody shraer like we mentioned earlier 29 carries 128 yards and a score Brady cook 19 carries for 66 tough yards cook passing against the nation's best pass defense and it was a grind to be honest outside of that 50- yard bomb and a couple other plays he finished 11 of eight 18 128 yards and a touchdown on the game Theo whis was the top receiver four carries for 43 yards Luther buron three catches for 15 yards and when I say top receiver for whis I just mean in terms of total receptions buron by the way did get just enough yardage to move up to third on the single season receiving yards list in missou history passing Victor Bailey's 1992 campaign and Brady cook also had one of the best passing seasons in missou history he finishes in eighth on the all-time list in terms of passing yardage at a little bit more than 3,300 so it all adds up Andy to missou having its first team ever with a 3,000 yard passer in cook a 1500 yard rusher in straighter and a 1,000 yard receiver in buron and it's again it's that balance so it took a big pass play right to finally kind of get the ball rolling off defensively and then it was really more the ground attack of mostly shider with some cook mixed in that was able to finish the deal well and again you're talking about the guys that got the numbers and for sure they had big impacts and you have to be able to beat teams in multiple ways on offense if you want to put up those types of numbers but I mean you you also talk about some of the guys that maybe didn't have that same type of marks guys like Theo whis guys like Maris Johnson the offensive line that never gets enough credit but absolutely played their tails off all season long I mean the the ways that it all came together uh for this unit to to make the strides forward that they did this year was an amazing thing to watch all season long and again the the the Showcase is those three guys that are able to uh be the the Cornerstone of that but it does take a village and I mean the way that they've been able to involve multiple guys in this offense and be able to attack you in so many different angles that's the the calling card I think for this team and I'm really excited to see how it might look uh next year too absolutely so a shout out as you mentioned to uh to Javon Foster The All American at left tackle and his buddy right next to him Xavier Delgado at left guard and the best of luck to them as as they move forward elsewhere in their careers they're going to be a tough act to follow on that left side of the offensive line that helped pave the way to two fourth quarter touchdowns and a 14-3 missou victory over Ohio State in the cotton bow oh Ohio State you know there's some questions about motivation maybe in this game for the Buckeyes Ohio state has been in a new year six bowl SL playoff game every single year that it has existed Ohio state has been in non-playoff New Year six bowl games five times now this is the first time they've lost so so again keep that in mind it's not something where it's just an easy thing to beat Ohio State oh they're not motivated or whatever they were 4-0 in these situations before this game tonight and missou was able to pick up the dub in this one by 11 down in Arlington we're brought to you by Shelter Insurance ranked number
