Typically at this time in the week, we’re getting you ready for Saturday’s game with looks into enemy territory, reasons why the Buckeyes win, things to watch for, and more. More importantly, Friday’s for the football team are for a final walkthrough and preparations. But since the game against Maryland has been canceled, how will Ohio State spend its time?
Head coach Ryan Day gave some insight while answering questions from the media on Thursday. It’s no secret that Coach Day is in favor of being able to replace an opponent if the original opposition is unable to play. And we all know that Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren has unequivocally said “No.”
So what’s a coach to do when you’ve been planning for a game and the other team lets you know they can’t play four days before kickoff? Coach Day says, move on and get ready for the next one.

Responding to how the team was moving forward without a game against Maryland, Day was quick to answer.
“…fast and furious… All of our attention last night and today went to Indiana. Anything we do now is a bonus,” Day said.
Bonus time to prepare for a quality opponent… not a bad consolation prize.
You have to believe Day and the Buckeyes hate missing an opportunity for actual live game action. However, instead of whining and complaining, the Buckeyes are controlling what they can.
Time to move on and get ready for what could be a de facto Big Ten East championship game against a very good Hoosier squad. Who would have thought?
