Ryan Day gives an honest opinion on heart-breaking losses
It had been 20 years since the Buckeyes were on the losing end against arch-rivals Michigan Wolverines for two straight seasons. However, last year under the guidance of Ryan Day, Buckeyes repeated the unfortunate feat again. Afterward, the Buckeyes let Georgia Bulldogs make a fashionable comeback against them. Georgia then went on to win their second College Football Playoff Championship by defeating TCU Horned Frogs.
What did Ryan Day have to say?
While talking to Bill Rabinowitz of The Columbus Dispatch, day spoke from his heart.
Talking about how he felt after the loss, Day said, “Just how much it means to so many people not having that win. For 365 days, that hurts. But you can’t run from it. You’ve got to embrace it. Now, we’ve just got to work toward a solution to win it this year.”
Talking about program culture, Day said, “People say the term culture a lot, but what it means is, I think whom we have here. That was gut-wrenching. That was hard, you know. We put so much into that game and come up short. It’s not easy, but I think it shows at that moment, especially with so much disappointment to go around, our guys never splintered. The players, the coaches, everybody in Woody stuck together. We have a bunch of people here who care about each other. They know all the work that gets put in here. We went out and swung as hard as we could in that (Georgia) game and came up short.”
This season will be Day’s fifth as the head coach of the Buckeyes. Only time will tell how he fares in this campaign.
