Ryan Day reflects on 'devastating' Michigan loss
Ohio State HC Ryan Day expressed frustration following the Buckeyes’ loss to Michigan. This is their fourth consecutive defeat in "The Game." Day’s team was a 20.5-point favorite (as per ESPN Research) but buckled under pressure.
Their playoff hopes are in doubt and questions reignite about Day’s leadership in this high-stakes rivalry. "Everybody wants to win this game in the worst way," Day admitted.
"Obviously extremely disappointed and angry that we didn't execute well enough. This is not easy to accept, and obviously have to take the ownership. I'm the one ultimately that makes the final decisions on things. I felt like we were in a really good place coming into this game," Day said.
The loss knocked Ohio State out of the Big Ten championship race and jeopardized their chances of hosting a first-round College Football Playoff game. Michigan’s dominance found roots in their ground game, outgaining Ohio State 172-77 in rushing yards.
Kalel Mullings was the star of the show for Michigan HC Sherrone Moore, leading the charge with 116 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes’ offense was lost.
Moore’s defense neutralized freshman wideout Jeremiah Smith after halftime, who managed only one catch for 3 yards. Day talked about the heartbreaking outcome, saying:
"I’ve got a locker room full of guys who are devastated. We expected to win this game and play for the Big Ten title. Neither of those things happened."
A late 21-yard field goal by Michigan’s Dominic Zvada was the difference between the Wolverines and Ohio State.
