It clearly wasn’t a beauty pageant for the Ohio State football team on Saturday in Lincoln, but when the calendar flips to November, sometimes you have to win ugly in the Big Ten. That’s exactly what the Buckeyes did by finding a way to outlast the Nebraska Cornhuskers 26-17 Saturday afternoon.
It was an interesting and somewhat curious game where OSU got outgained on the ground and threw the ball 54 times. Woody Hayes just rolled his eyes in Buckeye heaven.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with the media as he does after every game to discuss what he felt about his team’s performance, and to answer some questions from the inquiring minds of the Buckeye beat media.
Here is some of the highlights from what Day said after the close shave against Nebraska.
