Ohio State head coach Ryan Day recently shared his thoughts on the team’s national championship win during a call-in to “Morning Juice” on 97.1 The Fan. Day, who has been busy recruiting, took a moment to reflect on the team’s playoff run and the excitement surrounding their championship victory.
Day described the atmosphere leading up to the game against Tennessee in the first round of the College Football Playoffs as “wild.” He recalled feeling a sense of anticipation and excitement as the team took the field. “I just had this feeling something special was about to happen,” Day said.
Despite initial doubts about the team’s abilities following a loss to an unranked Michigan team, Ohio State proved themselves to be a formidable opponent. Day attributed the team’s success to their ability to learn from past mistakes and come out strong against Tennessee.
The turning point for Day came during the semifinal game when a crucial play went in Ohio State’s favor. “When that ball bounced up into Jack’s hands the way it did in that moment, I knew we were going to win a national championship,” Day said.
As the team celebrates their national championship win, Day is already looking to the future. He discussed the timeline for replacing defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, emphasizing the importance of being thorough and ensuring continuity within the team.
With recruiting efforts underway, Day is focused on building a strong team for the upcoming season. Despite the challenges ahead, Day remains optimistic, citing the team’s resilience and determination as key factors in their success.
