Austin Ormond, DP is a traveling. This is Old School. We are brought to you by the Mercado Certified Piedmontese. Special agree is to put your shop 84th and have luck. 13 Yankee Hill, 85th and Andre Matt, and 168th and Maple up there in the O. I always got to get it. I always got to read it off of this thing here. Look, it's the day before. I think the Huskers are there. And out to prove themselves and to see where they stand. And I think you'll see a different team this week. I think you see a more, obviously, internally motivated team, I guess you could call it. I think you could also say that you're going to see a better performance, which I think will be more along the lines with people expect and grew to assume over the first-- so that was six games, right? Yeah, because they're five and two. Yeah, so six games. So I think it's all set up for them to have a good performance. I think the early game can work in their favor. But I think, ultimately, I think the earlier the better. I think having to sit around after you didn't kind of play, well, I think getting back in the heat of things is probably the best thing for them. Is Ohio State a good environment as we would judge them in college football? Because I know Michigan has kind of that wine and cheese. Atmosphere, Wisconsin, you would rather play at 11, because the students won't be there. But what kind of environment is Ohio State? They can get rowdy, but I don't think it's like vicious, like Colorado or anything like that. Not Indiana's fans were ignorant and got-- you know, they never won before. So they're just probably doing what they think they saw like on the internet throwing stuff at Guy or people and getting into Nebraska fans after they won. And so they're in the-- Indiana fans are in this mix, right? They're not really supportive. But when they go and they've been winning, they act like they've been there before, and they don't know how to act, and so they act ignorant. I think Ohio State, they've won a lot. And they view themselves as they're upper echelon. And so they'll be excited because the team is home and all that, but I don't think it'll be to the same intensity of Michigan, which is works in Nebraska's favor. But Austin-- Yeah? --today. Today. The first-- what do you call the first one? Inaugural? Sure. I'm going to ask you, you're the smart one. Well, I don't know what else you can say. When you do something the first, the very first one. OK, sure. Inaugural. Let's do it. Are you sure? Let's go with that. The form is four. Ooh, we got it. Well, we got you. Yeah, it was brought to you by Fast Mike, though. Oh, thank you, Fast Mike. Yeah, I'll do the related-- the form is four. Here's what the form is four for you people listening out here. And I'll tweet it out here. Text messages, let me know what you think about the form is four. We'll do this every Friday. I'll probably do a Thursday or Friday, so for the next five weeks. I want to give a shout out to the night of Davis. She did it for me. It's going to be through the J-forming YouTube and stuff like that. But she did a great, great graphic. Little AD, way to go. Little AD. Little AD. I wonder if she even likes hearing that. You know what she brings? She probably don't want everyone to tell me because she's way too nice. Like, I don't want to hear that. Little AD. I got Naya. Anyway, appreciate it. Hey, first, the form is four. Number one. You listening, Austin? Number one. You listening-- look at Ellie. You listening? She's locked in. You locked in? That's a yes. No, she's not. She's coming in here and saying we're doing something we ain't supposed to. Here she comes. No, she's going to help somebody at the front door. Way to go, Ellie. Yeah. I thought she was pointing at us. I did. She looked and I was like, can you hear me? Well, we scratched that. Number one, on form is four. Forgive yourself, but never forget. Right? Yup. Part of the healing process is forgive yourself for not performing up to your standard. Maybe not doing what you're supposed to do or just flat out, just then show up. Whatever it may be. Recognize it. Answer it. Fix it during the week. But never forget. We want to know why you never forget Austin. You're something to motivate you. Motivate you. And it can motivate you for the rest of your football career. It can motivate you for the rest of your life. But more importantly, it will motivate you for the rest of the season. To attain the goals that are still attainable that you wanted even before the season. That's number one. Number two, which is probably the most important. If you look at Chip Kelly's offenses over the history when they've had trouble being, I guess, explosive or having the teams that had the most success against them defensively. But then also, this is also for our offense. You got win first down. Win first down. Win first down means no negative plays, no direct access plays, or no negative plays on first down. And also win the down. So if they're-- you want to have it anywhere against the Ohio State team. Second and seven, maybe second and sixth at the most, depending on the play call. You want to win that. You want to win first down. And so success rate is defined as gaining 50% or more of the necessary yardage per down. So on first down, a successful play is five yards. Yeah, and for our offense, we want to make sure that we're at that three and a half. The worst case scenario, three, I would say three and a half, three and a quarter on first down yardage. Now, obviously, it's three or four yards. But if you do it over the length of the game, that is what you would like to win. One, that gets you in second and manageable. Second, I call it second. Instead of say second and manageable or medium, second and realistic. Realistically, we can run a pass play or whatever we want to get a first down on second down. This is the ebonics version of J-Formers version of football. That book will be coming out later, just kidding. So what you're saying is Nebraska's whole playbook is open to it. Second and seven and in. And then third and five and in, third and four and in. Where's the whole playbook available for Nebraska? Well, if you win first down and then say you break even on second down. So that means you're in third and four or less. Playbook is whatever you want. I mean, obviously, if you're running the ball or you feel like you can get them in a formation, you can run, or you could do a tunnel screen, smoke screen. That's kind of an extended outside run. Or you can run your play action or intermediate pass game. No, that's all based on play call and all that. But you want to make sure you have some, obviously, realistic success on first down. That's you. Not as any game, but particularly when you're coming into this game on the road, on the environment, now we could get into the easy things where we're like, OK, we've got to pack our run game and all that. And that'd be just too simple. The form and four are things besides the knowns. Yeah. Like specific to this match up and specific to this game. You know, look, they're not going to sit up here and say, well, we can't turn the ball over. We've been talking about that. Well, right? I mean, yeah, Captain Obvious. So let's be honest. And then number three, which I think is so important on both offense and defense. And I'm explaining this. And this is just what I call these plays. Again, when I describe football, I try to do it as if I'm hanging out. That's what I feel like when I come in. I'm just hanging out and kind of just doing whatever, right? So eliminate direct access plays. So offensively, at the point of attack or the backside, eliminate direct access to whatever you're doing. Whether it's a run play inside, outside run, or a tunnel screen, or I used to call it now or out when you're getting it and you're throwing it quick to the number two or the slot or tight end. And then there's a free runner that has direct access to blow up your play. A direct access in a play action or drop back is that they're directly-- directly, as soon as the ball snap, essentially has direct access into Dylan's face, or direct access into Dow Dale or Emmett, where they can just directly affect the play. And why that isn't so important. When you see this Ohio State defense and how talented they are and they got number 91, they got 33, they got 44, they got corner, they got everybody, they got late then and all these guys, right? Where they struggle at if you make them earn it. They'll beat you, right? But if you can be steady and make them earn it versus just letting them-- Have it on easy mode. Have it on easy mode where they just stunt inside you. You don't get a hand on them. And then they're getting the tackle for loss. And what happens there for what people I'm talking to is just think if somebody's backside, and just imagine number 91's in a, let's say, a three technique. So he's lined up on the outside shade of the backside guard. So just say the right guard and the play's going left. So he stunts into the A-gap, right? I hope I'm not telling you, I'm not a prophet or anything, which you should be able to cut him off, right? But then you need the tackle's help as well. So this is where you have to be in sync and understand you have to block those guys that could have direct access first. So if he goes into the A-gap and then just say the play side, that means the center, the play side guard, the tackle, the tight end, and let's just say the H backer full buck. Everybody wins their blocks. So just say that, just say, for instance, they just knock everybody down. That's a big hole, right? And say we actually get a block out there on the perimeter. Even bigger hole. Right. So you're like, OK, we got a win, win, win, win, right? This is the best case scenario. We got win, win, win, win. But we allowed direct access. Breaking news coming in from Bet365, where every nail biting overtime win, break away, pick six, three-point shot, underdog win, buzzer beater, shoot out, walk off, and absolutely every play in between is amazing. From football to basketball and hockey to baseball, whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet365. Gambling problem?

Everybody's tweeting we can't run the ball. Everybody's saying we need better play calls. Now we need a better coach. No, no, no, we need to eliminate direct access. You do that. Over time, it makes them beat you. It makes them play football. Now they're still, they can still do it. But if you want to win this game, you got to make them beat you. That means we have to play winning football, but execution and eliminating direct access to our offense is imperative. And that's what happened at times, you know, when we couldn't really function on offense on the road there in Bloomington. When you see direct access plays from a defender's standpoint, is it normally because the offense with their assignment or is it because you had such a good read, such a good first step? - Sometimes both. - Which is more common. - It's 50/50. I mean, because you could really get lucky and you're stunting into, sometimes you could be slanting left. And on when it's so much movement, it throws off the alignment like block count, you know, per se. And then you're just, now you then use ricochet off and then you make it so you kind of fell into it. - But it still counts. - It still counts, right? Or somebody with where, you know, like sometimes you, you know, linebacker, you kind of give somebody a starter step and he freezes. Boom, now I got to tackle for loss there, you know, or I always talk about the time that Ray Lewis made the play on Darren Sproles out there when they were playing the, at that time, San Diego Chargers, where he saw a little gap and shot the gap. That's just a, that's a Hall of Fame player making a Hall of Fame. - Not assignment. - Right, that's just junior say I was made a living off of that. And that's how great he was, right? So now defensively, direct access. Here's how it's important if you go back and look at it, direct access is say a conventional run inside, outside zone, forget the shifting in motion. Is this say all that's done or they just line up in it? And somebody either on defensive line or in the front seven, linebacker has a bad read and then they have direct access to our second and third level. That puts our safeties in a very, very, you know, impossible position to be effective open field tacklers 'cause that is a lot of space without any deviation of their path. And we've seen that in the first drive. We saw it in the-- - Well, two good running backs. - Two, yeah, and they had two good running backs as well and they made us pay. And it could be not just the 60 yard run or the 40 yard run that we gave up. Last week, it could be those 12 yard runs on first down where like if you're a, you know, a caller on defense and you're saying, okay, for this, this is the tendency, this is the defense, I feel this is one that will, you know, be a winning call and something happens and you have direct access to me, the second level. And then now you're really playing defense, you know, defensively versus being aggressive and playing offense. - Line backers, defensive lineman are used to getting blocked, safeties are. - Nope, and they-- - They're not. - And safety, there's always a time clock in your head when you have to come down out of your back pedal or whatever your coverage is, you know, and make a tackle. When you're not even in your back pedal and those running backs are going full speed. - You're in trouble. - And you're in trouble because the time is up. - That runs, yeah. You're not supposed to be put in that position. - Yeah, and you heard me talk about like in the run game, you wanna make the lineman burp, right? That's essentially, I am winning or stonewalling the lineman at the direct access point that is now making the running back, pitter patter or goal or deviate off his path. That allows the defensive end line backers, whoever safeties to come in and make a good tackle. Then you're like, you know what? That's a really good tackling game. That's a really good possession, defensive possession by that defense. And that's how you can set the edge and convince that. So it all works together, but direct access plays which hurt us last week, you know, are definitely in the run game. And here's an example in the past play, in the past game. So say they're running some sort of play action or RPO and my job in the slot or as the number two defender or I'm displaced, that means I'm on a space trying to cover a tight end or slot. I need to get a jam on him so he doesn't reach up to the safety that's in the post. Well, I give him direct access up to you. That means he's free releasing and he's eating up your coverage. Now you're in a RPO bad position. That means you're definitely compromised. So it goes in the run and past. I call it direct access and why is it so important and defensively not allowing direct access on releases on the offensive guys and obviously in the run game throws off a rhythm and timing offense. What does Chip Kelly's offense like to do? - Rhythm and timing. - Rhythm and timing and tempo and then they get into the motions and all that stuff. And that will slow down their process as well. And you've seen it all the time if you ever want to go back and Google when Jim Harbaugh was at Stanford and Vic Fangio was the defensive coordinator. It was one of the things that came from him. - When you think about a football team specifically as talented as Ohio State and play call or like Chip Kelly, if you have a talent advantage as a football team, do you like to go tempo, run more plays and give your athletes a chance to succeed? Or do you like to slow it down and count on your athletes to execute more? - I would think like you'd want to do a little bit of both. I think if you're really rolling and the energy is good, I think that's when you go tempo and just kind of score and get it over with. But then also you'd like to systematically which they didn't do against Oregon enough, line up, punch people in the mouth and really play big football. And that's what kind of hurt them at the end. Yes, they had to lead, but you weren't able to eat up some clock and it was just off. It was like, they were scoring too fast. They were trying to just match score for score. Then it became an ego thing. And here's how you can, here's where ego and football kind of hurt you. The definition of ego and football is like you care too much about your personal stuff. And then it'll collage your judgment when it comes to the team. And ego would be like, okay, I'm so fixated and I want to my one-on-one battle against you. I'm not even doing what I'm supposed to do. I'm just trying to see what I can do for you and it ends up not being winning football. So I guess that's a little asterisk. Number four and last is limit the run after catch and accentuate our run after catch. Limit the run after catch with Ohio State because they have two pretty much first-around receivers at wide receiver and a really good young tight end. Look, they're going to catch some balls and you're going to give them some space, but eliminating or really, really not letting them get off run after the catch really keeps them off rhythm. You get what I'm saying? They feel right now as they're going to whatever they're doing, they feel like they can get like 80 yards after catch, like throw a hitch, break a tackle, 20 yards. You want to limit that, obviously. Zero would be great. It would be phenomenal. It would be probably one of the best defensive performances in some time. Not going to happen realistically. You want to limit it and then you want to try to make sure you put the pressure back on their weak spot, which is the tackling on the perimeter. And number 10 is right when I'm going at it. If you, if I'm a receiver and I want to get my get back from last week, I'm going right at 10 in the run game blocking and then obviously in the run after catch, as far as, you know, we're still legit a wide receiver group. We just had it off week. And we're going against a potential first round pick and improving ourselves. Jeremiah Smith gets a lot of headlines for the receiver core. Where are you at with a buco? Like he's a good receiver and I think it makes sense that he's been in college for a while, right? Maybe not as good as some of the guys that have passed him up since he's been on campus, but he's a dangerous upperclassman. So I think he's legit. I think he's always kind of always had to be second fiddle. You know, robbing to everybody. They had two or three batmans. And he's kind of always waited his chance. And this was supposed to be his year to be number one. And here it comes Smith. And he's been there and done that. But I think, look, I think his best days are ahead of him. I think when he goes to the next level, you're going to see him be that 2A. Now, it might take some time, but telling you, look, he's got short hands. He's got great body control. He's tough as nails. And he knows every position to play. And he runs excellent routes. He's going to find his way. He strikes me as like the Mike Williams to everyone else's Keenan Allen. Yeah, yeah, but he's not injury prone here. All right, right, let's kind of roll in how he's used. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And so, you know, and he's probably not as athletically gifted as Nico Collins as my with my Texans, but he's an under under the radar third round pick. Oh, OK. You get what I mean? Yeah. And he might go higher, but he's a guy that, you know, whereas, like, when he gets drafted, they'll talk about Jeremiah Smith. But then in two or three years, they're going to be talking about him finding his way and being pretty good. So that's four and four again, brought to you by Fast Mike's hauling. I'm going to tweet out here first one. We're going to do it every Friday for the rest of the season. Appreciate their support. I'll put the video out again and we'll post it. But we're going to take a quick break, come back. And Austin, we're going to talk a little college football last night, Syracuse. Here's what's funny. I was wrong. I was wrong. When McCord came on his visit, everybody was like, we're getting McCord and his boy, you know, they split up. Funny, funny. And McCord been lightening it up for a while. But man, he needs that rabbit's foot back. That was tough. And it was some bad luck, too. And they could not-- you know, I could not believe they couldn't figure out two men. That's what Pittsburgh ran. Essentially, two men is man to man with cover two safety. Then I ran some cover four. No, but literally it was two men sitting on everything hard and inside with safety help over the top. She borders Mason place. He did. Yeah, so give it up to Chief. Yeah. So representing the ticket went well out there in Pittsburgh. But we're going to take a quick break. Jay Forman, Austin Orman, and we'll be right back.
