One person is standing between Ohio State football and a national championship run


COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ryan Day needs to remember who he is. That’s the only way Ohio State has any chance of winning a national championship.

The entire reason Day became the Buckeyes’ head coach in the first place is because he brought innovative offensive ideas to the table with plans of turning Columbus into the premier destination for elite quarterbacks and wide receivers. Then he spent his final year as the offensive coordinator in 2018 showing what that could look like, using Dwayne Haskins to rewrite the school’s passing records.

That’s who OSU needs to show up on Saturday night. Not this new version of him who’s shocked by failed game plans and uptight in the games where his fiery personality is needed most.

They need the old version that got him this job in the first place. The baby-faced aggressive coach in the picture above could get a defense on its heels and lived out the term ‘Let it rip’ on the football field and not just at the podium during a press conference.

“You do have to be that way,” Day said. “It’s how you coach. How you approach it. It’s how the guys play. It’s confidence. It’s all of those things. We’ve gotta do that in all three phases. We have to be and we will.”
