Sunday, Ryan Day and Ohio State found out they will be playing in the Sugar Bowl as a part of the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes opponent? None other than the Clemson Tigers who ended OSU’s run in the Fiesta Bowl last season in highly controversial and highly dramatic fashion as a part of last year’s playoff run.
The game will take place in New Orleans on New Year’s night and will be another shot at redemption for an Ohio State program that many people feel shouldn’t even be part of all the fun because of only playing six games. It’s an interesting backdrop because Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney himself said he would have a problem including the Buckeyes when asked about it a week ago.
But enough of that (for now). Day met with the media on Sunday and we’ve got the transcripts of his comments in their entirety. Needless to say, he understands the challenge but is fired up to have another shot at Clemson.
