Fake Punt Good Call ‘Because It Worked’ — Buckeye Players Welcome the Aggression
Trailing Wisconsin 14-0 midway through the second quarter and faced with a fourth-and-nine from their own 26-yard line, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day sent punter Drue Chrisman out onto the field, presumably to send the ball back to the Badgers, and possibly allowing them to add to their already-double-digit lead.

One Year Later, Ryan Day Has Come a Long Way
COLUMBUS – The last time an Ohio State head football coach was recognized as Big Ten Coach of the Year was 1979, the same year that current Buckeye coach Ryan Day was born. But that all changed on Tuesday when Day was named the Dave McClain Big Ten Coach of the Year Award, as voted on by the conference’s media. Exactly one year ago to the day…

And like that, the Buckeye victory train keeps on rolling. Even with their big brains, the Wildcats of Northwestern had no answers for Ohio State last Saturday Friday night. The Buckeyes scored more and gave up less than I projected, making me feel like a Negative Nelly for yet another week, despite picking them to win by nearly five touchdowns.
