Some people win with grace, and then there’s Ryan Day.
The Ohio State head coach decided that after his team scored the game-winning touchdown with a second remaining to go on the offensive, launching all of his negative energy at former Notre Dame iconic head coach Lou Holtz. But it appears Day had something else on his mind.
As Day vehemently denounced Holtz, he said his team is in fact tough and physical before noting they’ve had one bad half in the past few years. Well, you can guess which one he’s talking about — or, which one of two.
Since Michigan football beat Ohio State the past two years, Day has had something of a personality crisis. After being out-physicaled by the Wolverines in 2021, he tried to prove in 2022 that the glitch was fixed. But Michigan did it again in the second half of 2022.
