Presser Bullets: Ryan Day Says Ohio State Has to “Evaluate Everything” and Losing Three Games is “Unacceptable”
Key Points:
- Ryan Day acknowledged Ohio State's unacceptable three-loss season and took full responsibility, emphasizing the need for accountability from both coaches and players.
- Day identified a critical mistake on the final drive of the first half, where a risky pass led to an interception and a subsequent Oregon touchdown, disrupting Ohio State’s offensive rhythm.
- Despite a strong start with a 14-0 lead, the Buckeyes collapsed, and Day cited issues with scheme, coaching, and personnel on defense as contributing factors.
- Day emphasized that the team's problems are not related to effort but rather an inability to make crucial plays when momentum shifts against them.
- The coach urged the team to "weather the storm" and committed to evaluating all aspects of the team to address shortcomings moving forward.
