What Ryan Day told Ohio State about ‘storm’ as CFP dreams go up in smoke

Ohio State suffered a devastating loss against Oregon on Saturday, dropping to a 6-3 record for the season and potentially putting their College Football Playoff hopes in jeopardy. Head coach Ryan Day addressed his team in the locker room following the 41-28 defeat, telling them, "I just told the team in the locker room that now we’ve got to weather this storm."

Day explained, "It'll be a storm here, something that none of us are used to at Ohio State." The Buckeyes lost their first three games in the 2021 season, marking a challenging start to Ryan Day's tenure. During the Oregon game, Ohio State struggled to establish rhythm on offense, which placed the defense in difficult situations.

Ryan Day acknowledged the need for accountability, stating, "It all starts with the staff and then it goes to the players." Quarterback Julian Sayin is currently out due to injury, leaving the team to rely on freshman Luke Fahey, who compiled 360 passing yards in the Oregon game.
