Starting point is 00:00:00 Yes, Colin McCurnan threw for over 200 yards. He was named the G-Mac player of the week, and Shea Ruddy and Tutt Carico both had excellent games, each having a touchdown grab, and Shea Ruddy leads the G-MAC in all-purpose yards this season, as Ty Ruddy is messing with some of the wrong knobs. these you do not touch we're good we're good we are now good hopefully everything sounds good over the air well it's the season finale ted and tie been on the call for the last five
Starting point is 00:00:43 four home games this will be the fit so stay tuned for some new stuff you know i was actually walking down the hall the other day professor green logic and rhetoric professor said he listens to the program really so wonderful we might have to give a shout out to the professor of the week sponsored by a 101.7 radio free hillsdale professor professor timothy green will uh give you more coverage on that but here it looks like hillsdale lost the toss they're going to and ohio dominican's going to defer until the second half oh how dominican they have a stronger defense Offense has been typically weaker in history, but fielded by Ruddy at the goal line, running left.
Starting point is 00:01:30 He's to the 15, the 20 ahead is steam to the 30, and hit down at the 39-yard line. Shea Ruddy, the G-Mack, leader in all-purpose yards, has a 39-yard kickoff return, and out comes Colin McCurnet and company to start out this ball game, 14-52 left in the first quarter. man ruddy with a nice it seems like towards the end of the season there's been more production out of the charger ball club I mean the last this is the third season now rough start at the beginning of the year and now finishing strong so we'll see how the chargers do here mccurne in the gun gishu two is left carrico and metzger to the far side McCurnan back to pass. He's got Metzger down the field and into Ohio Dominican Territory
Starting point is 00:02:25 down to the 31-yard line. Play action, pass. McCurnan hit Metzger on a post-rout. Beautiful pitch and catch there. And the first play of the game for the Charger offense is deep into Ohio Dominican territory. And that's one thing Hillsdale has had trouble with all year is getting their offense going early. First down in 10 for McCurnan. Chargers at the Ohio Dominican 30, 1421 left in the first quarter.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Gishu 2 is left. It's a Givshoe running right, looking for some blocks. He's to the 29, 25, and tight rope back down the sidelines before being hit out of bounds of the 16-yard line. Two plays, Chargers in the Red Zone. Maddox on the tackle and charges. Chargers get another first down. Fresh set of downs at the Ohio Dominican 16.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Some substitutions here. Scura checks in. Pratt checks out. Chargers went a little bit faster on that last play. They're slowing it down now with a huddle. The play's been called in. Ruddy and Pratt to the far side. McCurnan in the gun, Gishu to his left.
Starting point is 00:03:37 16-yard line. There's two plays in for Hillsdale, going two-hour right. McCurnon. Rolls left. Now he's coming back to the right. Makes one man miss. He's inside the 15. Forced out at about the 7-yard line.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Man, McCurnan's been showing some really versatility with his legs. And he gets a nice game there. Gain of 8. It'll be second down in 2. Balls at the Ohio Dominican 8. Now McCurnan's under. center, ruddy to the far side, Pratt to the near, Gishu in the backfield. Motion from Ruddy from left to right.
Starting point is 00:04:23 It's a give to Gishu up the gut, and he gets back to the line of scrimmage. So that's a big stop there from Hottomanican. Their strength, as I mentioned before, is their defense. I mean, they've super talented secondary. Keep an eye on R.J. Maddox, Caden Holmes. They've combined for seven total interceptions this season. So if McCurnan's going to want to throw it through the air, it's going to have to be accurate passes.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Third down in two, 1232 left in the first quarter. McCurnan in the gun, Riffle to his left, Ruddie to his right. Colin Davis, tight end right, too, in the backfield, including Rudy. McCurman keeps and up the middle, and he gets a first down inside the five-yard line. There were two tight ends in the game. Slocum to the left, Davis to the right. It was motion from Ruddy, and McCurna takes it up the middle. First down and goal, four yards to go.
Starting point is 00:05:23 12-03 left, first quarter, Hillsdale, nothing. Ohio, Dominican, nothing. McCurnan, in the gun, Riffle to his left, Slocombe is the tide, and Davis has the right tight ends. Ruddy to the far side. It's 1-V-1, keeping on that matchup. McCurnin, rolls. left looking for ruddy throws
Starting point is 00:05:45 caught touchdown chargers and the offense looked great on that possession just slice it and dicing one of the best defenses in the G-back a very efficient drive there from hillsdale that was designed
Starting point is 00:06:05 all the way as the as the corner route rolling right rolling left from mccernan I think he was going to run it If Shea wasn't open. Could have. Pretty difficult to defend Shea in open field. Judario to make this a seven-point game.
Starting point is 00:06:24 The kick is up, and it's good. Hillsdale, College 7, Ohio, Dominican, nothing. You're listening to Charger Football right here on Radio Free Hillsdale.

Welcome back to Frank Muddywater Stadium.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Chargers draw first blood against the Panthers of Ohio Dominican 7 to nothing. Touchback kit kick from Evan Mick is going to set up Carson Parker and the Ohio Dominican offense at the Hillsdale 25. Carson Parker, Ohio native, he's a true freshman completing over 70 percent. of his passes he's really injected a lot of life into this panther offense Parker in the gun two receivers to the far side one to the air it's a play action pass caught by the tight end out to the 32 yard line Zach Stevens on the grab man right away sack Stevens six four 200 pounds athletic junior for the Panthers and he's going to be a challenge for this hillsdale secondary that has struggled at times throughout this year.
Starting point is 00:08:44 So that's a matchup to keep an eye on. First down in 10 for the Panthers. No, not first down in 10. The scoreboard is wrong. Second down in three. Parker in the gun. Rucker, two is left. Two receivers to the far side.
Starting point is 00:08:57 One to the near. Give to Rucker, and he turns it up the field first. First down out to the 38-yard line. Drake Badger on the tackle for the chargers, but it moves the chains. So far, one pass, one run and the Panthers get the first, first down of the ball game. 10.42 left in the first quarter. Parker, in the gun.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Rucker, two is right. Three receivers to the far side, one to the near. It's first down in 10 at the Panther 38. Play action, Parker, and it's a pitch and catch out to the 40. four-yard line. It's a six-yard gain. And Panthers doing well to get ahead of the chains. They're not getting behind. No flag so far. Really efficient passing here from Parker goes to show why he has such a high QBR rating. He wasn't the start at the beginning of the year. He was replaced, or he replaced a veteran quarterback and has really helped out this Ohio Dominican offense.
Starting point is 00:10:07 now he's in the in pistol, Rucker in the backfield with a motion from Stevens from left to right to give to Rucker up the middle and he gets out to midfield. That's another first down. So as O'DU starts to mix up their offense a little bit, their offensive attack with passes and run, it's going to be key to keep an eye on this Hillsdale defense line, which has been a strong spot for the Hillsdale Chargers this year. See how they hold up against this mediocre ODU offense. We'll see if the defense can stop and stop them. Hillsdale, leading Ohio Dominican, 7-0. Parker, in the gun. Rucker, two is left.
Starting point is 00:10:45 One receiver to the far side, one to the near. Play action. Parker, looking over the middle. It's deflected and nearly intercepted by Ryan Nixie at the 38-yard line. Jonah Jensen, deflecting a Parker pass that was intended for a man. Open on the post. Great play from the Air Force transfer. Neil Likens checks into the game now. Hudson Jones checks out for Hillsdale.
Starting point is 00:11:12 See if the defense can get a stop here. It's second down in 10. Parker in the gun, Rucker, two is left. Two receivers to the far side, two in the ear. Balls at the Ohio Dominican, 49. Motion from Stevens from right to left. Parker, back to pass, looking left. He's going to move up into the pocket.
Starting point is 00:11:31 He's to the 45. Ivan, man, runs over Colin Morrow at the Hillsdale 48 and gets out of bounds for a third down and medium. Was not expecting that. I thought Colin Morrow was going to lick his chops there. Nor was I, but Carson Parker is a big guy. He's 6'3, 225 pounds. He's only a registered freshman, but that's the sort of size that matches up well against a cornerback. Hillsdale brought the house on that last one.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Vance was on a blitz, able to flush them out of the pocket. We'll see what they do here. Parker, over 888 yards of passing this year. It's going to be a third down and four. They're in the Charger territory at the 45. Motion from Stevens from right to left. Parker in the gun, give to Rucker. He makes one man miss, but he's not going to get the first down.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Hit down at the 43-yard line. It's going to be a fourth down in about two. And what an effort there from Jacob Vance, who made the initial contact bounced off the running back and then still made the tackle on the other side of the field later in the play. Fourth down and two.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Balls at the Charger, 43, 759 left in the first quarter. Hillsdale leads, Ohio Dominicans, seven to nothing. And Ohio Dominican's going to opt to go for this one. Parker, in the gun. Rucker to his left. Three receivers, they're all to the near side.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Parker it's a quarterback power all the way and he's not going to get it not going to get it stopped by the Hillsdale defense at the line of scrimmage it's going to be a turnover on downs Hudson Jones able to stuff that play up and bring the O'DU offense to a screeching halt on the Hillsdale 44 yard line 42 yard line so out comes the charger offense great field position position excuse me man i did not get enough sleep last night i went to bed at 11 p.m now everyone time might be a little grumpy he went to bed at 3 a.m he's coming out with the new movie that he's directing what's it called again he can promo it there is no there is no title he needs a title mccurman in the gun first down to 10 for the chargers at their own
Starting point is 00:13:55 42 pratt to the far side metzger to the near it's quarterback power to the right. McCurnan's out in space. Hit down into Ohio, Dominican Territory at the 38-yard line. And McCurnan's legs are playing a factor here early. First down charges. First down chargers, and we'll keep you updated on some Notre Dame scores. My fight in Irish are leading Pittsburgh 14 to 3. It's the site of college game day.
Starting point is 00:14:26 The scores I want to keep an eye on are Indiana today. They struggled last week against a very bad Penn State team. First down in 10. The Chargers inside Ohio Dominican Territory at the 38. 653 left in the first quarter. Gishu 2 is righted to give to Gishu running right. He makes a cut at the 35 spins down to the 33-yard line. Freshman of the year right there for the Chargers.
Starting point is 00:14:50 It's not even... No doubt about it. Ben Gishu. Ben Gishu is an absolute weapon that I don't even think they were expecting when they came into camp. They kind of discovered him in that second week there when they finally put pads on. And he was their offense for the first half of the year.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Ben Gishu, a 5-990-pound freshman out of Crowley, Texas. He's having a lot of production for the Chargers in his freshman year. Second down in five, charges at the Panther 33. McCurnan, in the gun. Back to pass, looking left. He finds Gishu out in the flat at the 38. issues tackled out in space. Nice wrap-up tackle there from Caden Holmes, the standout sophomore linebacker for this Ohio Dominican defense and that much vetted GMAC defense that
Starting point is 00:15:42 has really caused a lot of problems for GMAC foes. I mean, Finley 8-0 undefeated in GMAC conference play and they only beat Ohio Dominican by seven points. Both these teams, in fact. Chargers only lost to Finley by two, and Ohio Dominican by seven. McCurnan, in the gun, third down in six. They're at the Panther 34. McCurnet, back to pass, and he's going to get sacked in the backfield all the way back to the 40 by that panther defense. A pride of Panthers gets to McCurnan, and it's going to make it fourth down in about 15.
Starting point is 00:16:19 A kick from here would make it about 55 yards. Braden Childs has done it before. The longest field goal in the GMAC this year is 41 yards. Wow. Kicking is hard. Especially for college kickers. You know, it's not their full-time job. So a charger is going to punt this one away.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Ian Woodier to punt this one away for the Chargers, standing at his own 49. Cornell back deep to receive it for the Panthers. It's going to bounce at the Panthers. 10 hang a right and get out of bounds at the six yard line great punt there by woodward great punt from woodyard and story of the game so far is field position chargers start out their first possession after a 39 yard kickoff return from ruddy out to the 39 and then after a turnover on downs from the panthers they start at the 42 yard line panthers on the other hand start
Starting point is 00:17:18 their first possession at the 25 and now the five so man you can help yourself out a lot lot by where you start the drives really minimizes what you can call so here we go parker in the backfield rucker in the back field with him it's a give to rucker up the middle and he gets out to the 12 yard line second down in five mark on ruckers a gain a gain of four Five is going to make it, excuse me, a game of six, rather, is going to make it a second down in four, four-twenty-three left. In the first quarter, Hillsdale, 7, Ohio, Dominican nothing. Parker in the gun, Rucker, two is left, two receivers to the far side,
Starting point is 00:18:07 two to the near. Parker, looking left, now he's going to run to the pocket. He's got one band to beat, and he gets hit out to the 27-yard line. That was a little 1-V-1 open-field tackling with Coast Davis, and Coast Davis with a little shoestring tackle there, but it looked like that was a designed quarterback run all the way. Parker, little has he in the back field, and then boom, straight up the gut. They had five receivers running straight down the field.
Starting point is 00:18:35 He had a lot of room there, so that was a great open field tackle there by Cost Davis. First down in 10 for the Panthers, at their own 27. Parker in the gun, Rucker to his left, two receivers to the far side, one to the near. Give to Rucker, running right, he cuts. Up, about to the 32-yard line, put his foot in the ground up to 25 and gets a, four-yard gain to make it a second down and medium. Draged down there by Luke Panola.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Luke Panola, natives of Seinesville, Indiana. Starter for the Chargers this year. Didn't get much production last year, but really has become a name this year for the Hillsdale defense. Pistol Formation. Rucker in the backfield with Parker.
Starting point is 00:19:22 One receiver to the far side, two to the near second down and six of the 31 it's a keep with parker and he gets nowhere in the back field by heaven bianick's going to make it a third down and about five bianic did really well there to not fall for that the eye candy of that rPO with rucker I got to give a shout out to Mother Nature. That's a great day for football. 60 degrees. November 15. Come on.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Can't beat it. Parker, in the gun. Rucker, two is right, three receivers to the far side, one in the air. It's a third down in five. Panthers up the 32. Quarterback keep all up the middle by Parker, and he's going to get a first down out to the 45-yard line. Another design run there from Parker.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And the Chargers should be cognizant. of the freshman, freshman's running abilities. 45 versus 10 for the Panthers. First down for the Panthers at their own, 45. They're trying to get back in this ball game. Chargers lead, the Panthers, 7-0. 1-40 left in the first quarter.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Ohio Dominican, taking their time now. Parker got the play out to his boys. It's pistol. Rucker in the backfield with him, two to the far side, two to the near. It's a give to Rucker. Up the middle, he gets inside of Charger Territory. Out to the 42-yard line.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Second down and two for the Panthers. And now, Ohio Dominican's going to take their time a bit. Parker's getting the play out in the huddle. Finally, they set up. Second down in two, 56 seconds left in the first quarter. Hillsdale 7, a hot American set. Nothing. Parker, back to pass, play action.
Starting point is 00:21:33 And he throws. It looks like he got a man down field, but he overthrows him. Layton Scott on coverage. Calls for pass interference. None given. Third down in two. And some great pressure there by Drake Badger in the backfield, who, in all likelihood, will tomorrow evening when MVP of the Hillsdale Chargers
Starting point is 00:21:53 football team for the year of 2025. He's had a great season, especially at home. I feel like we've called his name a lot in some of those home games that we've called. It's Hillsdale Senior Day. They're graduating 18.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Young men on this football team that have really helped the Charger football squad in a variety of ways. Third down in two. 42 seconds left in the first quarter. Parker back to pass. throws incomplete
Starting point is 00:22:24 Coast Davis on the coverage Ohio Dominicans at the Charger 47 and now it's a fourth down and two in the exact same spot it was last possession we'll see if Ohio Dominican goes for it here no they do not they send out the punting unit
Starting point is 00:22:39 and on comes the Charger special teams as well but when there's punts it means Shay Ruddy has a chance to house call the football so he's standing at the charger the most Electric play in football. Yard line.
Starting point is 00:22:56 The most electric player in football, I think Jeremiah Love is. Play. Oh, nearly blocked by Kyle Riffle. And Shea Ruddy lets it bounce. It's going to fall into the end zone. And charges are going to set up the third possession of the game at their own 25. Close to getting blocked. But Shay Roney, wait for the fair catch and really act like he.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I'm always wary of a little bit of trickery, especially in the special teams. as teams get toward the end of the season neither of these teams probably will make a bowl game so you sort of just want to empty the bag you know I expect to see a little bit of trickery especially in special teams maybe we'll see maybe some on offense I came here early to set up and I was hearing
Starting point is 00:23:38 murmurs of a bowl game of whoever won this game they would play in a bowl game I think I heard the same thing I think it depends on what Finley does today right okay we got Eli Boyce in the gun for the Chargers now. First down in 10 for the Chargers at the 25. Play action toss out to Carrico. He's at
Starting point is 00:23:56 the 25 makes a man miss and out to the 29-yard line. Flag flies at the 25-yard line. There's a penalty marker at the 25. So we'll see what the verdict is. Looks like it's holding on the Chargers. Holden. Offense.
Starting point is 00:24:17 We're 16. 10-year penalty. Gillsdale. 10-yard penalty is going to put the chargers back to their own 10-yard line, trying to add to this 7-point lead over Ohio Dominican. Hillsdale 7, Ohio-Dominican, nothing. Man, even though that play was called back, Carrico made a 4-yard play, turn into a 9-yard play. I'm of nothing.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Ruddy, Keriko, the most fun football players to watch in D-2. At least in the G-D-KIN. That I've seen. in the D-2. No. In D-2. I was tuning in to the Ole Miss game
Starting point is 00:24:56 and Trinidad Shambliss, the starting quarterback for All-Miss was the starting quarterback for Ferris State last year, which just goes to show the Gleak especially.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Very talented. D-2 football, which I think Hillsdale was formerly in. Hillsdale was about 15 years ago in the Gliac. In the Gliac, yeah, you're exactly right,
Starting point is 00:25:19 is now become sort of a pipeline. for division one there have been multiple quarterbacks especially in my time here at hillsdale who have played for finley or tiffin who have gone on to play at i think washington or oregon or those different places where maybe they play as a backup but it's a d1 pipeline so you remember when i was saying the uh 101.7 radio free hillsdale professor of the week yes Professor Green. Now, I know last week, or two weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:25:57 we thought someone was listening, but they were actually here. You're listening to the program. And you have Twitter or something. Share. Share the link. We would really appreciate it. I will give you types of phone number on air.
Starting point is 00:26:14 You can text them. I used to do that in high school, and I was getting random phone number. numbers texting me months later. So I kind of regretted doing that. But, yeah, you can email Ty Ruddy at T-R-R-D-D-Hillsdale.edu. That's T-R-U-D-D-Y at Hillsdale.E-D-U. Email us. Boyce in the gun, Gushu to his right, first down and 20th to charge, 10. Voice, back to pass. He's got a man downfield, and it's caught in midfield.
Starting point is 00:26:50 A catch, a diving grab there. Braden Rabidow. I have never heard of this guy. Diving grab at midfield with the backup quarterback throwing a 30-yard bomb. Give to Gishu running right and he gets over midfield out to the 48-yard line. So Brayden Rabadu is a freshman. Talk about a way to get yourself. reps next camp talking about a way to get yourself a look for next season make a diving catch in
Starting point is 00:27:27 the last game of the year the chargers must be splitting time between the two quarterbacks because mcernan had a fabulous two series and now we have the sophomore from holland michigan playing and that 30 yard pass was incredible second down and seven for the chargers at the ohio dominican 48 Karakow and Ruddy to the far side Pratt to the near 1352 left in the first half Boyce in the gun play action throws out to Ruddy in the
Starting point is 00:27:56 flat, he crosses the 45 makes one and hits out of bounds on the 22 yard line You see me Now you don't He made a Panther secondary member look silly Jay Ruddy the magician On the football field moves the change
Starting point is 00:28:16 deep into panther territory first down for the chargers at the ohio dominican 26 yard line mass substitutions now 13 27 left in the second quarter hillsdale 7 ohio dominican nothing boyce in pistol geishu in the backfield check that boyce is under center shade of the far side metzger to the near voice back to pass straight drop looking towards metzger throws and it falls incomplete A little over the head of the junior from Ashland, Ohio, and voice was hit in the backfield and was pressured on the throw. Carson Slocum checks out, Carrico, and Skura check in. Second down in 10. Chargers still at the Panther 26, trying to add to the 7-0 lead over Ohio, Dominican, and end the season with a winning record for the third straight year. Boyce in the gun, Gishu 2's left, Metzger and Karako to the far side, near side rather, Scurra to the far.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Boyce, back to pass, zips it into Skura, and it's going to get down to the, that pass makes it. A gain of four and down to the Panther 22 yards, right? That was a four-yard pass, and Boyce looked like he threw it about as hard as he could. That was a laser. Boyce fit it into tight coverage. It's going to set up a third down in six. Chargers at the Panther, 22. Boyce in the gun, Gishu to his left.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Ruddy and Carrico to the far side. Scur to the near, it's 1v1 down here with Ty Hilton's student. Prodigy. Boyce back to pass, and he's sacked in the backfield all the way back to the 32-yard line. Spunned down. And the Panthers get into the backfield. Looking for a quick route on maybe a slant or a three-step fade here on the near side. The O'DU brought the blitz and able to get there quick.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Now it's a fourth down and 13 for the chargers. And they're going to go for it. I think they're confident in their defense. So here we go. Third down and 13. Chargers at the 29. They have to get to the 16. Boy, Senegal, Gishu's left, back to pass. Looking right, he's trying to find Skura. Did he catch that? It's incomplete. Ryan Scuro with a leaping grab at the five-yard line.
Starting point is 00:30:58 He caught it with one hand. I don't think he got to put it in. And it was a one-handed grab that was ruled out of bounds. So a heck of an effort there by Ryan Scuro. Just an amazingly athletic catch. I'm unable to get the foot down, but if you cut that one at the right spot, that'll look good on film. So out comes Carson Parker, two really nice drives that have ended in three and out, not three and outs, rather. They tried on a fourth down and they elected upon it on another fourth and short. So third possession of the game for the Panthers, first down in 10. they're at the own 29 Parker in the gun
Starting point is 00:31:42 Rucker to his left two receivers the far side one of the nearer give to Rucker running right he crosses the 35 out to the 37 yard line second down and two coming up they don't they don't
Starting point is 00:31:56 they don't win that game Ain't going to the college football playoff this year. Yes, Pitt is 22, Notre Dame is nine. Second down and two for Ohio Dominican at the Panther 32. Blitz from the Chargers and a near interception from Jack. The senior almost had a house call. He might have had it if he didn't have a club on his right hand instead of. And with that batted ball, it's third down and.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Two for Ohio Dominican. Panthers have their own, 32. They have to get to the 39-yard line to keep this drive alive. Chargers, lead the Panthers, seven to nothing. Parker, in the gun. Rucker to his left. One receiver to the far side, two to the near. Motion from right to left, from the near-side receiver.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Give to Rucker, up the middle, and it's a first down-out, cross the 40-yard line. That was a delayed handoff there from Parker at an RPO. Parker and Rucker looked like they might have been scuffling over the ball, and now they're talking in the back here. Like, hey, who's was that? But five-yard game-ish brings up a new set of downs. First down in 10 for the Panthers at their own 42. Carson Parker. In the gun, Rucker to his left, one receiver to the far side, two to the near.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Parker back to pass, throws out to Rucker in the flat. He's to the 40, and hit down by Colin Morrow for a loss of one. Rucker, Morrow out in open space, and Morrow gets the better of him that time. Mass substitutions for the Chargers as we get a constant rotation of defensive lineman to keep the boys fresh. Second down in 12 for the Panthers at their own 40. Parker in the gun, motion from Stevens from left to right. Rucker in the backfield with him, Parker back to pass, looking, looking throws incomplete. And that's going to be a third down in 12. And Ryan Nixa on the coverage, the ball was overthrown.
Starting point is 00:34:39 intended for Jaden Cornell and now it's a third down in 12. Really a coverage sack there and we have some substitutions now for the Chargers Ryan Ruddy checks into the ball game. Big third down for that Hillsdale defense to get
Starting point is 00:34:59 this Panther offense off the field Hillsdale 7 Ohio Dominican nothing Parker in the gun Rucker to his left Cornell to the far side two receivers to the near Parker back to pass pressure from Panola
Starting point is 00:35:14 looking looking throws incomplete intended for Cornell and it's going to be a fourth down and 12 Parker shaking up on the play some great pressure there and some good zone coverage from the Chargers
Starting point is 00:35:30 brings up a fourth down and another chance at an offensive drive maybe make this one a little bit more exciting before halftime the score currently stands at 7 to nothing with 9 minutes left in the second Logan Orte standing
Starting point is 00:35:46 at his own 26 yard line Ruddy back deep to receive standing at the Charger 25 fair caught by Ruddy at the 30 and he gets hit and no flag it was a soft hit it was more of a hug
Starting point is 00:36:01 more of a hug and I'll see you The Chargers have out at quarterback, and Colin McKernan is back at the helm for the Chargers. For his third possession after Eli Boyce had the last one. 9-17 left. Second quarter, Hillsdale leads Ohio, Dominican, 7-0. McCurnan, in the gun, Gishu, 2 is left.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Carrickone, ready to the far side, Pratt to the near. They're at the Charger. 30. It's a quarterback power left for McCurnan, and he turns it up field to the 40-yard line. And that's a 10-yard gain to start this drive. And look at Carter Cushman, the senior, getting outfield the block for McCurton on that play. About 12 yards from where he started. First down and 10 for the Chargers at their own 40. McCurton and the gun, Gishu, to his left, Brad to the near side, Carricone, ready to the fall.
Starting point is 00:37:06 847 left in the first half it's a first down in 10 McCurn and rolling right it's another design quarterback run cuts it up the middle a bit takes a big hit at the 44 yard line and now it's a fourth down excuse me it's a second down in six interesting play there two designed runs for the quarterback when it's usually Eli Boyce that's doing the quarterback runs. I was just about to say it's interesting that the charges are willing to run with McCurnan today over Boyce. McCurnan in the gun, Gishi to his left, second down in six. Chargers at their own 44.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Ruddy and Metz and Ruddy and Carico to the far side, Pratt to the near. McCurnan out to pass, pitch and catch to Carrico at midfield and that's enough for a first down. Claiborne with a nice job tackling the Owensboro native, tough dude to take down after contact. Did you tune into his state final game? I did not. Look up the highlights. They're ridiculous. Of whose?
Starting point is 00:38:22 Tuts. McCurn, in the Gishu 2 is right. First down in 10. They're at the Ohio Dominican 49 to give the Gishu running right. And he takes a huge hit at the 48-yard. line but guichu gets up and it looks like he's okay are his highlights man amongst boy type highlights he had the state record in kentucky for the most receiving yards in a state final it was over 300 yards oh my goodness 300 in one game in one game is ridiculous
Starting point is 00:38:56 second down and eight for the chargers at the panther 47 mccurna and the gun gishu to his left Metzger in, scorer to the near side, Ruddy to the far. McCurnan, back to pass, looking for Ruddy and falls incomplete. Miscommunication on the route. Rundy went for more of a fly route, and McCurton, I think, was under the impression. It was going to be a post to cross the middle. Nearly disastrous. Nearly intercepted by Claiborne at the 25-yard line, and then Ruddy almost caught it off the carum for a touchdown.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Like the play from Georgia a couple years, not a couple years ago, but 10 years ago. Ole Miss against Alabama. Yeah, yeah. A screen pass that got tipped up and caught by another dude. Third down and eight. Balls at, Chargers at the Panther 47. McCurton back to pass, looking left, looking for Reddy and it's caught. At the 39-yard line, those are some sticky fingers for the junior.
Starting point is 00:39:57 What a great crab from him. Very strong hands, very tight defense there. I'm able to come down with it to move the chains. Another first down for this charger offense, and we're under seven minutes left in the first quarter. Hillsdale, seven, Ohio Dominican, nothing. McCurnan, in the gun, riffle to his right, Pratt to the nearest side, Karakon Metzger to the far. McCurnan, quarterback power all the way, running up the gut. He gets out to the 30-7-yard line.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Chargers have an obvious size advantage in the trenches. I mean, just looking at the two differences in the teams, I think the chargers can really just take advantage, control the line of scrimmage and cruise to end the season six and five for the third straight year. McCurnan in the gun Riffel 2 is right second down in nine charges at the Panther
Starting point is 00:41:04 37 McCurnan looking left caught by Slocum at the 32 and he burst down to the 21 yard line and that's another first down for the Chargers First down Changers
Starting point is 00:41:26 And once he got the ball, he was rumbling, ran over an ODU defender. That's always fun to watch, a big guy with the ball. Braden Rabidow is back in the game, the freshman that had that incredible grab a series to go. McCurnet in the gun, first down in 10. Chargers at the Panther 22. McCurnet, back to pass, looking for Ruddy. Now he's going to roll right to the 29, flips it out of bounds to make it second down in 10. And they're looking for Ruddy on every play.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Pretty confident that in a one-on-one situation, the Ottawa Lake Whiteford native is going to take advantage. Skura, Carico, Gishu, check in. Rabido, Ruddy, check out. No, Ruddy is still in. Why would I think they take out their best player is beyond me? second down in 10 Chargers at the Panther
Starting point is 00:42:26 22 Hillsdale 7 looking to add to their 7 point lead over Ohio Dominican it's a quarterback keep running left and McCurton's going to get about one the option totally fooled
Starting point is 00:42:40 at least one lineback on the Ohio Dominican defense Sikishu went down as a decoy McCurin not able to scramble really friend anything. Third down in 10, 4.30 left in the second quarter. Hillsdale 7, Ohio, Dominican, nothing. McCurnan in the gun, Gishu 2 is right. Canesney in at tight end, tight end.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Ready to the near side. Skura, Metzger to the far. McCurnet, back to pass, throw to Skura. And he gets out to the 20, no, 19 yard line design screen pass play there. And we'll see what the Chargers do. Are they going to kick this one? And it looks like they're going to opt to kick. Some kicking woes for this Charger special teams. Dylan Dadario has been the starter since midway through the season. And he's going to try a 36-yard field goal to make this two-possession game. Gain.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Lice to snap, skirt a hold. 3.40 left in the second quarter. Snap good, hold good, kick is up, and it's good. Chargers 10. Ohio Dominican nothing. You're listening to Charger football right here on Radio Free Hillsdale. Welcome to the grammar minute, where we're saving the English language 60 seconds at a time. I'm Lauren Smith, and this episode was requested by a grammar fan from Florida.
Starting point is 00:44:39 This episode, by the way, as you may have noticed, is free. You're getting it for free. Or are you? The economist in me wants to say that it's not free. It's zero cost, so there's one problem. but the other problem which is more relevant to grammar is that free isn't a noun it's an adjective meaning that it describes a noun and four is a preposition which must proceed a noun so for free is wrong because it's a preposition and not a noun this runs into all kinds of problems you want
Starting point is 00:45:08 to say that you're listening to this episode for free so are you listening to this episode free or freely and does that even mean the same thing for free is broadly accepted in modern english and is even included in the Collins English Dictionary. Personally, I think the distinction is interesting, but I don't mind this expression at all. That's your grammar minute. Back to Frank Muddywater Stadium on the campus of Hillsdale College. I'm Ted Ferringer along as side-mease tie ruddy.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Chargers take a 10-0 lead over the Panthers of Ohio Dominican after a 36-yard field goal from freshman Dylan Didario. Carson Parker is out for his fourth possession of the game, and this Ohio Dominican office is going to try to cut into this 10-point lead. Parker in the gun, Rucker to his right. Panthers at their own 25, gives a Rucker running right, and he gets out to the 32-yard line. Nice start to the drive for them.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Eight-yard run for the Panther running back. It's 50 degrees out of. here in south central michigan but the clouds keep adding a kind of dystopian feel to the landscape today i feel like the uh the plagues of egypt are coming here pretty soon parker in the gun rucker to his left second down in three it's a pass out to coronel and cornell scampers up the sideline to the 42 yard line yes uh they i'm pretty sure man this isn't the bible so i feel like i should know They, uh, there's grasshoppers, right? There's the locusts, yeah, yeah, frogs, yes.
Starting point is 00:46:52 There's the river turns to blood. Oh, yes, you're right. There's a really good cartoon on it, but I can't remember it now. It's great. It's the Prince of Egypt. First down in 10. Ohio Dominican at thrown 42. Parker in the gun, Rucker 2 is right. Steps up, throws caught by Cornell along the sideline and into charge of territory at the 49-yard line. you know Ty Ruddy and I were having dinner
Starting point is 00:47:17 with a award-winning author earlier this week That's true Yes, Gosey Obiyama Professor Obiama Author of the Fisherman An Orchestra of Minorities And Ted
Starting point is 00:47:32 The Road To the Country Second down at one For the Panthers at the Charger 49 give to Rucker running right and he's going to get down to the 49-yard line. Yes, we told him about how Ty and I do play-by-play, and he was just wondering if Hillsdale football was any good.
Starting point is 00:47:56 He asked if they were better than the Nebraska Corn Huskers. Yes, Nebraska's had a rough, rough. Huskerland might have him, though. Huskerland. You're a Michigan State fan, dude. Well, I mean, your brother's Ohio State. fan which just i'm an honorary ohio state fan ugh it beats the spartons spartans can't do anything
Starting point is 00:48:21 you're in your route they had one good year in 2021 they had one incredible year yeah and it ended with losing 38 to nothing to alabama in the college football playoff so it seems like there might be a limit to how good michigan state can do Anyway, I believe they just announced that that's the last play-by-play call of the man on the... The famed. The famed man.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I don't even know his name. I feel, like, is his name, Dan? They do the play-by-play on the network. First down in 10 for the Panthers at the Charger 45. Parker back to pass, looking left, steps up in the pocket, throws incomplete broken up by Ryan. Nixza at the 25, Cornell, almost came down with it. Great recovery there by Nixna because his receiver was open 18 yards down the field and had the ball in his hand. and Nick's able to scramble and punch that thing out. So now it's a second down in 10 for the Panthers.
Starting point is 00:49:51 They're at the Charger 45. Parker in the gun. Rucker 2 is right, three receivers to the far side, one to the near. Blitz shown from Morrow. He backs off. Parker back to pass. Rolls to his left. Spins out of the pressure, throws down the sideline incomplete. Really nice job. from him.
Starting point is 00:50:12 And Jirogi, on the pressure. And Parker evaded it and lived another day, unlike the Frat v. Funny game last week where Frank Ferrenger threw four interceptions. Four interceptions right here. Frank Muddywater's Stadium. It was a tough one to watch.
Starting point is 00:50:31 But got two events for the price of one. There was a fight at midfield high. Here we go. Third down in 10 for this Panther office. defense 142 left in the second quarter hillsdale 10 had a minute hit nothing Parker in the gun Rucker to his right two receivers to the far side true to the air Parker back to pass he's got a man wide open along the near side and he gets out of bounds of the 32 yard line so some busted coverage
Starting point is 00:51:01 there gauge boadie with the grab yes coverage bust for that charger secondary and a third down in long and a chance to get this dangerous offense off the field is not successful. Here we go. Panthers staying alive here, trying to get some points on the board before half. Parker in the gun, Rucker, two is left. Cornell to the nearest side, three receivers to the far. Parker, back to pass, looking right, looking towards Cornell along the sideline, and it's a one-handed gravel out of bounds of a three-yard line.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Defender 3 all over him and Jaden Cornell will set him up First in goal for Ohio Dominican A heck of an over the shoulder one-handed catch in double coverage inside the five
Starting point is 00:51:57 yard line at about the My goodness two receivers excuse me two secondary members covering Cornell it's a give no walks in quarterback keep for coronel parker and the panthers get back into this ball game

Starting point is 00:54:22 It will be beautiful by 2029. Soon to be beautiful. Soon to be. They're building a ladder to name all the good. First down in 10 for the chargers. They're trying to kind of grab the momentum back in this. game. Hillsdale leads Ohio Dominican 10 to 7 quarterback keep for McCurnan he weaves his way along the sideline and out to the Charger 36 yard line and again
Starting point is 00:54:50 McCurnan's legs are really the decisive factor here for this Charger offense really surprising because last week it was all it was his armed talent this week it's a lot of the running set first down in 10 for the Chargers at the Hillsdale 36 nearly he's intercepted along the near side. Romero Wells got a hand on it. It'll make it second down in 10. Chargers at their own 36-yard line. Hillsdale 10, Ohio Dominican 7, 108 left in the first half.
Starting point is 00:55:24 McCurnan, looking to the sideline. Trying to get the play in. Rutty to the far side, Skura and Carrico to the near. McCurner in the gun, Gishu to his left. McCurney, back to pass, looking through. caught by scura at the 40 and he's going to be tackled by a crew panthers you never want to reuse I feel like that's called redundancy look it up Jamie pull it up find me names for what you call groups of panthers we have to
Starting point is 00:56:03 we got to diversify third down in four chargers at their own 42 37 seconds left in the first half slant route across the middle in and out of the hands a tut carrico would have been a very tough grab either way and now it's a fourth down and four thirty three seconds left in the first half hillsdale has a 10-7 lead over ohio dominican and they're going to like to punt this one away cornell back deep to receive the punt at his own 16 Ian Woodier to punt for the Chargers standing at the Hillsdale 28 snap is good low punt it bounces at the 21 and hits down at the 7 yard line we have a little scuffle down here carrick going down to field the ball got hit by an Ohio Dominican player and then another
Starting point is 00:57:04 Charger came in and said, uh, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that if I would do. So it's going to be a heavy labor for ODU to score on this last drive. What do you think? 24 seconds to go 92 yards. They got receivers lined up. Maybe they were just going to heat it. I oh my goodness my voice just cracked oh no
Starting point is 00:57:40 Ty's laughing um 92 yards they have to be just they just have to run this one out yes and that's exactly what they'll do they're going to run rucker up the middle past the 10 and down to the 11 yard line and that's going to be end of the first half you witnessed the world's worst voice crack you were so close with 15 seconds to go in the half i was so close to not having any voice cracks and it looks like i could not escape but that's the end of the first half hillsdale leads to ohio dominican 10 to 7 in a really fun first half a play for the season finale for the 20, 25 campaign right here at Frank Muddywater Stadium. We'll be here for second half action.
Starting point is 00:58:33 You're listening to Charger Football right here on Radio Free Hillsdale. Welcome back to Frank Muddywater Stadium. Second half action between the Panthers of Ohio Dominican and the Chargers. of Hillsdale College will be underway here in a few minutes. Hillsdale leads Ohio Dominican 10 to 7 after one half of play. And, well, in my mind, the first half player of the game. We'll have to go to Shay Ruddy. I think so far, Ruddy leads to GMAC in all-purpose yards,
Starting point is 00:59:20 and he showed exactly why an electric. 39-yard kickoff return. Touchdown grab at the south end zone. Carrico had some production as well, but I'm going to go an honorable mention is it has to be the freshman diving grab at midfield. Even just for entertainment quality, that was an amazing catch. Braden Rabidow with an unbelievable grab at midfield from a throw from the backup quarterback Eli Boyce who saw action. during a series today so it looks like both teams are kind of opening up the playbooks a bit last game of the season ohio dominican is five and four currently hillsville's five and five
Starting point is 01:00:10 both teams trying to stay above 500 and bring some momentum into next season's campaign where you know you'd like to see the chargers next year bring this winning streak that's going to reach four in a row if they win today at the beginning of the season and that's been the story of the past three years hasn't it the chargers have a lot of momentum coming out of a season and then they struggle in the first half of the next season sometimes they drop five in a row and then they'll win six in a row and so they end up above 500 but the momentum comes too late in the season for anything above, you know, a 6 and 5 record. And so I think you're exactly right.
Starting point is 01:00:57 They'd love to see that carry over directly into the first week of 2026. Some first half stats. Hillsdale 11 first downs, Ohio, Dominican 9. So really, offensive production has been relatively similar. Larry Hillsdale with 209 total yards of offense to an Ohio Dominican 171, which sounds like a lot. And then you look at the scoreboard and you see it's only 10 to 7. So both defenses are bending, but they're not necessarily breaking. And if you look at the records, you were right, you were exactly right earlier.
Starting point is 01:01:37 These are two pretty evenly matched teams. Keep in mind that both of them lost to a really good Finley team by only a touchdown. And in the Chargers case, it was a touchdown that they should have. And so each of these teams really is on the cusp of a good gear this year. And so a very evenly matched ballgame we have on our hands today. We will keep you updated on the only football game that matters. Other than this game, of course, but the Notre Dame game. well there's some big news in the top four right now yes I did look
Starting point is 01:02:19 South Carolina's meeting Texas A&M 30 to 3 midway through the 3 so barring a 27 point comeback in what would that be about 20 minutes 20 minutes a game play Texas A&M is going to drop their first of the season which makes it very interesting to see the college football playoff ranked Notre Dame above Miami They're taking metrics now a little differently than head-to-head. They're looking into strength of schedule when you played somebody, where you played somebody with the new kind of theory that a team's really, you can't judge a team in August because they're different in November.
Starting point is 01:03:03 Which is true. I think it's gotten more accurate, but it still is crazy to see how head-to-head has lost some validity. So Jordan Westridge to kick this one away, it's going to bounce. The north end zone for a nice touchback from the northern Arizona transfer. And here comes Carson Parker. To start out this second half, Hillsdale Defense is going to come out on the field and try to preserve and if not add to this three-point lead. Hillsdale 10, Ohio Dominican 7. Panthers set up shop at their own 25.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Down in 10. First play in the third quarter. Parker in the gun, Rucker, to his left, to his right, rather. Two receivers to the near side, two to the far. Motion from Stevens from left to right. Parker back to pass, throws on the far side, caught by Cornell. He skirts out of bounds of the 31-yard line. And we talked about the player of the game on the Hillsdale side on the Panthers side. Well, it's got to be Jaden Cornell with that one-handed grab. 35-yard grabbed a put enters inside of the Charger 5
Starting point is 01:04:22 so Parker and Pistol now two receivers the near side one to the far it's a second down in four and Jensen hits him at the line of scrimmage maybe a loss of one on the play nice
Starting point is 01:04:38 play from the Wisconsin native And now it's a third down and four. This is a very important third down for that charger defense. Ohio Dominican at their own 31. Hillsdale 10. Ohio Dominican 7. Parker in the gun.
Starting point is 01:05:01 Stevens to his right. Two receivers to the near side. Two to the far. Parker in the gun. Blitz shown from Vance. He backs off. Parker looking left. Rolls right.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Pressure by Panola. And it's tip. Off the caram, and Stevens is going to get up for a first down past the 37-yard line. Panola nearly with a sack all the way back at the 20. Parker threw the ball. It was tipped by Morrow, and then Stevens caught it off the caram for a first down. First down in 10 for the Panthers. Now they're at their own 43.
Starting point is 01:05:44 in the gun, Rucker to his left. Cornell to the nearest side. Pressure from Vance. Parker evades him. Rolls out, caught no. Incomplete, intended for Cornell. Ball was thrown too far inside. Ryan Nixie on the coverage.
Starting point is 01:06:00 Second down in 10. Some pandemonium here on the last two plays. And second down and 10 for the first. Panthers really obscure plays. They're not following the flow of the game. They're kind of breaking it up, but Panthers are still alive here. Second down in 10. Ohio Dominican at their own, 43. Parker, it's a quarterback draw all the ways to the 45. Hurdles a man and gets down into Hillsdale territory at the 34. No, check that. 44-yard line. Luke Panola could not bring him down and Parker much like McCurnan for the Chargers is showing some athleticism with his
Starting point is 01:06:52 legs 1233 left in the third quarter Parker in the backfield with him rucker to the near side first down fresh set of downs two claps play action Parker back to pass. He's got Cornell along the near side. Come on. After 11 spins down inside the five before being hit out of bounds by Ryan Nixie. So Cornell with another huge play on the near sideline
Starting point is 01:07:31 to set the O'DU Panthers up for another set of downs from the goal. Jaden Cornell. is showing some incredible athleticism for the Ohio Dominican Panthers. First down and goal at the five, give to Rucker for a Howard Dominican running left. It gets inside the five down to the three-yard line. Charger defense trying to bend but not break here down at the south end zone. They lead Ohio Dominican 10 to 7, 1133 left in the third quarter.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Parker looking towards the sideline to get the play. He tells the big boys up front. It's Pistol. Rucker in the back field with him. Second down and goal, ball at the three. Give to Rucker running left. He makes a cut, and he's near the goal line. Hudson Jones looks like he stopped him just shy.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Third down and goal from the half-yard line. Third and goal, this Charger crowd, trying to get into it now. Let's make it loud, Charger Nation. Campbell and Cornell to the far side. Third down and goal. Parker, under center, and it's a tush push. QB sneak, and it's a touchdown. Ohio, Dominican, they take their first lead of the ball game.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Panthers 13, Chargers 10, 10.43 left in the third. quarter. On to kick the extra point. The Carrick's to make it a four point lead. Counts his steps back, lines it up. Accurate kicker for the Panthers. High snap. Caught by the holder. Kick is up from Veracons and good. Ohio, Dominican 14 Hillsdale College 10. You're listening to Charge Your Football right here on Radio Free Hillsdale.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Today we'll be talking about a city named after perhaps one of the coolest people in American history, Houston, Texas. Founded on August 30th, 1836 by land investors, the city gets its name from the general and politician Sam Houston. Houston led Texas to independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto, just 25 miles from the future site of Houston. Houston, Texas, and taking place months before the city's founding. The city served as the capital of the Republic of Texas, which existed from March 2nd, 1836 to February 19th, 1846 before it became the 28th state. Houston, the man, served as the president of the Republic of Texas for most of its existence and was one of the inaugural senators representing Texas after it became a state.
Starting point is 01:10:35 He is a long and impressive military career and was a respected politician. It seems fitting that there should be a major city named after someone as influential and impressive as Sam Houston. This is Megan Pitcock, and you've been listening to What's in a Name on Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM. The Panthers now up by four. It seemed like they might have lost it for a minute in the second, first half. First down in 10 for the chargers at their own, 35. McCurnin, the gun, Gishu, 2 is right.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Quarterback run left, takes a huge hit, McCurnin does. At the 38-yard line, second down in about seven. Man, you'll wonder how many hits this kid can take with the number of runs that they're calling. Just about to say, they are sticking with McKernan's legs early in the second half. One play in, but set in the tone. Second down in seven, 10-10 left, third quarter, McCurner in the gun, Gishu to his left. Metzker, Kinesni, to the far side, Pratt to the near. play action mccurton looking right weaving his way along the 30 a little pop pass out to guichu and he gets out to the 50 yard line creative play from mccurin to extend the drive and it's a first down for chargers great heads-up quarterback play there from mccurin who probably could have picked up two or three if he ran it on his own but able to dump it off to gishu for a 12-yard game
Starting point is 01:12:12 or so first down in 10 for the chargers at the ohio and dominican 48 933 left in the third quarter ohio dominican 14 hillsdale college 10 mccurner in the gun geishu in the back field with them mccurton rolls out left sets his feet throws and it's a con caught by the phenom freshman down to the 26 yard line brayden rabidow rabidow with the grab with another acrobatic catch through a defender making a name for himself in this last game of the season it's a first down for the chargers at the panther 26 rabidow native of lansing mich 10 10 165 pounds making a name for himself here mcernan and pistol geishu in the backfield with them to give to gueshoe up the gut and he's hit at the line of scrimmage 510 166
Starting point is 01:13:12 that's about my size I'm about 511 160 I don't know if I could be doing that though I don't have the athleticism he's got a different skill package to do I think catching contested balls like that second down and 10 for Hillsdale 819 left in the third quarter hillsdale has had them as we said before they have the majority of the offensive production but really not much points to show for it mccurton in the gun gueshoe to his right it's a second down in ten mccurney back to pass looking left throws and fires it to scura down to the 15 yard line move the chains the native from zionsville indiana with a nice grab had to go down low to collect it and it's enough for a first down gishu checks out riffle checks in pratt and metzker also check in for the Chargers. So substitutions here. Get some fresh legs in the game. Caracos at the far side. 1v1 with the safety. First down in 10. Chargers at the Panther 15. McCurton rolling right.
Starting point is 01:14:27 It's a QB run all the way and he gets tripped up at the line of scrimmage. Maybe he gets one down. Inside the 15 down to the 14. Second down and long. About nine. I have yet to call a game this year at Hillsdale, Frank Moneywater Stadium, where Colin McCurnan has gotten this many quarterback powers. But as we said before, it's the last game of the season, so the playbook's being opened up a bit, experimenting for next year. McCurnet in the gun, Riffle 2 is right, second down in 9. Balls at the Panther, 14.
Starting point is 01:15:06 That's here to the far side. Rabid O to the near. Slocum in at Tide end and we have a timeout called on Hillsdale And that does remind me A very clean ball game We have seen One flagged the entire game
Starting point is 01:15:26 No fall starts for the Chargers We had a holding call on Hillsdale In the second quarter But other than that I do not believe Ohio Dominican has been penalized once today. I think you're right and it's kind of a turnaround for the chargers who have struggled with penalties
Starting point is 01:15:44 all year so so as I mentioned the Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 Professor of the Weeks Professor Green which then leads me to ask he had me, Ted Ferringer
Starting point is 01:16:02 last semester and he has Frank this semester I want to know who's funnier I think I know Frank has come back and told me he's convinced he's had a perfect semester of comedy and he said he's only had one before
Starting point is 01:16:18 and Dr. Cameron Morris Continental. I never hear someone rave about having a semester of comedy I'm like a punch in punch out like this is work you know but not for him second down in nine it's a quarterback run right for McCurney
Starting point is 01:16:35 and he gets back to the line of Grimmage, maybe loses one on the play. So, interesting play call there on second down and nine. It's going to lead to a third down and 10. You're at the Panther 15-yard line. And do you run here? Do you throw? You settle for the field goal.
Starting point is 01:17:05 You have a freshman who's getting more confident in Dillon to, Daria with field goals. You're in four-down territory, for sure. So here we go. Third down and 13. Chargers at the Panther 18. McCurnet back to pass, looking for running in the right. He's going to shift in the pocket.
Starting point is 01:17:21 He's got Riffle in the flat. One-handed grab by Kyle Riffle. Down to the two-yard line. What a play for the charges. McCurnin tucked it. He was going to run. He was going to settle with two or three yards. The line of scrimmage saw Riffel.
Starting point is 01:17:38 Riffle, poke out of the backfield, and dumped it off. And Riffel Carter with one hand. The senior making an impact for the Chargers on that. Third down and 13. First in goal for Hillsdale at the two. McCurton in the gun. Riffel 2 is right. Ready to the far side.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Three tight ends in the game. Davis, Kinesny, Slocum. It's a McCurton, QB, power. Up the middle, and. in short, the half-yard line. The Chargers want to. Chargers want a touchdown. They're not going to get it.
Starting point is 01:18:16 And it's going to be second down and goal from the half-yard line. Chargers taking their time. 505 left in the third quarter. Ohio Dominican 14, Hillsdale College 10. Chargers trying to change that right here. Oh, live formation. Sloke him in and full back. Riffle in the backfield.
Starting point is 01:18:35 Shades of 1990, Nebraska football. It's a tush push up the middle, and it's a touchdown chargers. And Hillsdale College retakes the lead, 16 to 14. Dylan Dadario on to make it a three-point game. Skir to hold, likens to snap. Dadario back counts his steps lines it up
Starting point is 01:19:07 two steps right one half step back 445 left in the third quarter snap good hold good kick is up and it's good Hillsdale College

Starting point is 01:24:55 Motion from Ruddy. It's a get to Gishu up the middle, and he's going to lose one. Back to the 49-yard line. We'll keep you updated on what kind of bowl game that is. I'm not sure. Both teams are about middle of the pack at the GMAC. Ohio Dominican is ahead of Hillsdale by one spot, but if Hillsdale beats Dominican today, they'll obviously jump them.
Starting point is 01:25:27 Third down and two. Chargers at the Panther, 49. No, boy, send the gun. Riffel 2 is right to quarterback keep all the way, and he gets down to the 45 and a first down, and that Hillsdale College offensive line is taking over right now. the game at the 40thal final in the 45-yard line was over to play.

Starting point is 01:26:10 Boyce. Quarterback keep running left. Net at the 45, dropped at the 44-yard line. He had one man to beat to get, be 10, 15 more yards and he could not get it there.
Starting point is 01:26:25 He did not walk on senior day a couple of weeks ago and it's a return for O'DU. Now the pace is slowed down a little bit here from the chargers. Voice under center for this second down in nine chargers at the Panther 44.
Starting point is 01:26:47 Ready to the far side, Carrico to the near. Play action, Boyce rolling right feels the pressure. He's going to run out of the pocket and hit down inside the 40. So some pretty good pocket awareness there by Eli Boyce actually felt some pressure from the back and stepped up, just tripped up as he was flushed and stumbles for about three to make it a third and five. Third down and medium. Third down and five for the Chargers. 13, 12, 11, 10 seconds left in the third quarter. It looks like they're going to run the clock down.

Ryan Nixon nearly came down with an interception at the 35, a diving attempt from the senior. Secondary member for the Chargers, and that sets up a third down in 25.

Starting point is 01:38:36 And Nixas not happy with it. I'm not sure what he was expected. There was a lot of contact on that play. A lot of contact along the nearest side and Coach Ruffler is not happy about that one. And that gives some life back to this Panther effort here to cut into this 10-point deficit. Hillsdale 24, Ohio, Dominican, 14, 9.503 left in the ball game. Parker in the gun, Rucker to his left. Campbell, Cornell to the near side.

Two plays ago, redeems himself to flex the ball up in the air, bounced off of his back, and into Nolan Strakes' hands. And Chargers force a key turnover with 9-13 left in the ball game

You might have to attack through the air here to bleed out this ball game. McCurton and the gun, Gishu to his left. Ruddy to the far side, Pratt to the nearer, second down in nine at the Hillsdale 11. Throw out towards Ruddy along the far side, and he's hit out at the 20-yard line.

Screens, you don't see them work off. but when you do they are electric first down in 10 for a how dominican at the panther 34 parker back to pass looking across the middle complete to campbell at the 38 yard line so now it's a really it's a must-go situation must-score situation for the panthers down by 17 718 left in the ball game their hurry-up offense now Parker in the gun rucker to his right two receivers to the far side to the near second down and six

Panthers at their own, 43, 6.40 left in the ball game. Parker in the gun. Rucker, 2 is right. It's a give to Rucker up the middle, and he's not going to get it. Evan Bionick with the tackle for loss, and now it's a fourth down in one. And O'DU will obviously stay on the field for this one. Anywhere. It's four-down territory for them at this point, and they need to score. Fourth down and one. It's a must-have for the Panthers.
Starting point is 01:46:52 Hillsdale, 31, Ohio Dominican, 14, six minutes left in the ball game. Here we go. Panthers at their own 43. Parker, in the gun. Rucker, two is left. Two receivers in the near, two to the far. Parker, back to pass. Looking for buddy along the sideline. It falls incomplete. Nix's on the coverage penalty marker.
Starting point is 01:47:12 the 48-yard line and it's going to be a pass interference yet again it looked like both guys were tangled up on each other and the hillsdale faithful are not happy about that one So ODAU gifted a fresh set of bounds. And the Panthers are staying alive. They're down by three scores with 548 left. But as is shown from the Texas A&M South Carolina game, anything is possible in college football. So now we have more substitutions for the
Starting point is 01:47:59 Chargers and Panthers. Finally, that gets situated. Well, how to Minnican at their own? 48. Parker in the gun, Rucker, to his right. Parker, back to pass, throws caught by Bodie along the sideline. Beautiful pitch and catch there. High enough for Colin Morrow not to deflect it, but low enough for Leighton Scott to not intercept it. That's just a beautiful ball there from Parker, and the drive stays alive.
Starting point is 01:48:29 526 left in the ball game Parker in the gun rucker to his left two receivers to the far side two to the near Parker back to pass pressured from panola he tries to move away he throws it out of bounds lichianic panola we're in the backfield and it's going to be a third down and 10 no it'll be a second down in 10 excuse me 512 left in the ball game Hillsdale 31 Ohio Dominican 14 second down in 10 Parker in the gun Rucker to his left one receiver to the far side 3 to the near Parker back to pass looking to the

Cornell, excuse me, Parker in the gun, Rucker to his left, three receivers to the near side, one to the far, 436 left in the ballgame.
Starting point is 01:50:08 First down in 10. Parker, looking for Cornell along the sideline. Layton Scott in coverage, incomplete. Second down in 10 at the Charger 28. O.D.U trying to mismatch Cornell with a bunch of different Charger secondary members to try to find it. Bit of a separation here.
Starting point is 01:50:41 And now ODU taking their time a bit now at incomplete pass stops the clock. Parker in the gun, Rucker to his left, two receivers in near side, one of the far. Second down in 10, charge of 28. And he's pressured in the backfield and nearly intercepted by Panola. Luke Panola is having a heck of a ball game. Third down in 10, this is a must have for ODU. You have one of the best kickers in the GMAC. You just opt for the three points.
Starting point is 01:51:29 Parker in the gun. Rucker, two is right. Three receivers to the nearest side. One to the far. Third down and 10 at the Charger, 28. Parker, back to pass. Drop. Incomplete.
Starting point is 01:51:41 Drop by Bodie at the 25. It's now fourth down and 10 at the Charger 28. So a big decision here for the ODU coaching staff. For the moment, it looks like the offense is going to stay on the field. You need three possessions anyway. But I'm wondering if you take the points here. and bank on two more possessions. O.D.U.
Starting point is 01:52:06 Gets the call from the sideline, and the offense is staying on the field. O'DU is going to go for it. 422 left in the ballgame. Hillsdale 31. O'Dew 14. Fourth down in 10 at the Charger, 28. Parker, back to pass.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Looking over the middle, and it's caught by Cornell. He'll be close. I don't know if he has it. And it looks like he's down at the 19, and he's going to be short of a first down by a yard. Just short. A heck of a stand there by the Hillsdale secondary. And that's a turnover on downs. And there's turnover on down, they'll be charged your football.
Starting point is 01:52:59 And Texas A&M has taken their first lead of the game over South Carolina, 31 to 3. That, how much, with 10 minutes left. Plenty of time. They were down 30 to 3 in the early 4th, third quarter. By early 4th, they're up by 1. Wow. So a Masterclass, that's why they're a top 4 team right there. First down at 10 for the Chargers at their own 21.
Starting point is 01:53:27 McCurnan in the gun. guishu in the backfield with him it's a give to gueshoe up the middle and he gets back to the line of scrimmage maybe gets one on the play three minutes down and nine second down and nine second down and eight second down three minutes left three forty eight three forty seven three forty seven three forty six chargeers a slow huddle and it looks like it's a formality now hillsdale will end the season six and five mcernan in the gun quarterback power right crosses the 20 gets out to the 25 yard line but he goes out of bounds which he'll make it a third down in about four The clock is still running.
Starting point is 01:54:37 Third down and five for Hillsdale. They're at the Charger 26. Substitutions for Hillsdale. Carson Slocum checks out. Looks like they're going to try to get some of their seniors some game time. Third and four for Hillsdale. at their own 26 and timeout for the Chargers. You know what?
Starting point is 01:55:03 We're going to take a timeout with them. You're listening to Charger football right here on Radio Free Hillsdale. Fox on set. One big player in the AI chatbot world is now banning kids from a wide range of its services. Character.AI will no longer allow minors to use its chatbots in an unrestricted fashion. The move is a response to growing concerns that kids interacting with artificial intelligence personalities are not given appropriate safety considerations.
Starting point is 01:55:34 There have been reports of chatbots getting inappropriate with underage users. Character.a.I. is also the defendant in a lawsuit by a mother who claims the services chatbots influenced her teenage son to take his own life. The company says it will use age verification to make sure only adults are able to have full access and then starting in November, child users will be subjected to a two-hour daily time limit. Further, they're developing new features for kids only, which focuses on content creation such as videos. With Fox on Tech, I'm Eben Brown, Fox News.
Starting point is 01:56:13 Welcome back to Frank Muddywater Stadium. Hillsdale Leeds O'D, 31 to 14 on senior day here. the final installment of the 2025 season McCurn and throws an incomplete pass and the dirt is going to stop the clock and make it a fourth down in five so they're going to have to punt it away here Cornell back deep to receive
Starting point is 01:56:38 probably not the best clock management from the Hillsdale offense on that possession Woodyard standing at his own 12 I'm sorry I have something my voice is Looked. Low kick there from Woodyard bounces at the 40,
Starting point is 01:56:59 fielded by Cornell at the 25. And Tuck can do it all. Tutt tackles him back at the 16-yard line. Tutt wrinkles him down. At the 16-yard line. You know, folks, today is a sad day. Why is that? Because I literally had something in my throat.
Starting point is 01:57:22 He's choking out. It's Ty Ruddy's last Hillsdale College football game. No, it's not because I'm sad. I literally have something in my throat. Ted Ferrander's choking up that his old partner is going to be gone for next season. Ty is moving on from us. I'm not dying. It's moving on from the Hillsdale community.
Starting point is 01:57:47 Next year, he plans on going back to D.C. going back to the swamp back to the swamp english major classics minor he is about 500 pages to write before the end of christmas break for the start of christmas break but it was uh it's a good run champ i hope you all enjoyed it we certainly did yes i mean overall i think what is our overall record calling games about 500 probably about 500 I don't know what our best call was. I don't really go back and listen to it. Homecoming last year was pretty good, I think.
Starting point is 01:58:35 We didn't call homecoming last year. No, we didn't. That was when Walsh came back and beat Hillsdale. Homecoming two years ago, maybe? I feel like I remember having fun with that one. I can't remember. But it's been a pleasure and a privilege. It's been an honor
Starting point is 01:58:55 But I will be here next year Ted will have a new partner Maybe I don't know Do you have No I'll just do one Just This is my This is me
Starting point is 01:59:07 This is my Thai voice Okay Well anyway No one will know anything No one will know at all I'll make an alter ego As the You should hold
Starting point is 01:59:20 Auditions for a partner I know some people who would probably join you up here yeah I could hold interviews that'd be funny so two minutes left O'DU with the ball second down and six throughout the room 22 Hillsdale's up by 17 31 to 14 over
Starting point is 01:59:40 over the Panthers Hillsdale's going to improve to 6 and 5 for the third straight year and hopefully bring in some nice momentum for next season. O'DU is going to drop to five and five. So both squads
Starting point is 01:59:58 they end about the middle of the road in the GMAC, which is a pretty even Stephen conference when you have like Tiffin roll in to Finley and defeat Finley who's undefeated in the conference. And you're right. I mean, even both of these two teams as Pinola gets to Parker
Starting point is 02:00:15 who throws it away, even both of these two teams were hot on Finley's tails when they played them. Hot on Finley Strachson, they played them earlier in the season. So even these sort of middle-of-the-road teams have the potential, have the recruiting to compete with the leaders of the G-MAC. And hopefully we see that a little bit more out of the Chargers next year. Certainly some good momentum going into 2026. I wonder if Dr. Arne would be interested in doing color-coversating for me.
Starting point is 02:00:45 You should ask him. That would be hilarious. Very funny. Man. Second down and 10 goes nowhere on the run as Evan Biennick drives Rucker into the dirt. And we're under 90 seconds left. And now we get a bunch of the seniors in the game for the check chargers. Third down and 10.
Starting point is 02:01:14 O'DU at their own 31. on. Here we go. The crowd getting into it now. Barker in the gun, huge pressure and it's dropped. Dropped by Cornell. Jaden Cornell, he's had a great game. great game. He's had a couple great catches. It's curious that he dropped that one.
Starting point is 02:01:53 Well, it's really won't matter anyway, yep. So on to punt it. Oral to punt this one away for the Panthers back deep, Shea ready with no gloves on.
Starting point is 02:02:12 His gloves are in his belt standing at his own 30. He fair catches it at the 32. And with that, on comes the Chargers with 58 seconds left. We got a new quarterback in the game. Reed Shoemaker. Please forgive me. I will not know these names as well as I know.
Starting point is 02:02:34 The starters. Senior Root Shoemaker will kneel this one out for the Chargers. I see Joe Schmidt out there as well, who, after some chiding. decided to come back for a fifth year i hope he enjoyed it first down and 10 for the chargers at the 31 a lot of the super seniors now 18 of them on this squad for team 1 33's in the game and reed shoemakers going to run up to the 38 yard line there's a penalty marker at the 31 and it's a hold call it's going to back the charge Chargers up 10 yards.
Starting point is 02:03:30 With the play with all the seniors, an unfortunate penalty. He's going to back him up. A lot more substitutions. That's a nice end of the season. Chargers rattle off four straight wins to end the 2025 campaign as Reed Shoemaker is going to take a knee at the 23 yard line
Starting point is 02:03:58 and that'll do it from Frank Moneywater Stadium Hillsdale 31 ODU 14 I would like to thank all of you all of you have tuned in to radio free Hillsdale coverage of Hillsdale College football next season will be back to hopefully ride this momentum into a GMAC winning campaign I'm Ted Ferringer, he's tie, ruddy and we're
