Ryan Day calls Ohio State’s Texas collapse ‘maddening’ as sixth-ranked Buckeyes seek quick fixes
- Ohio State head coach Ryan Day admitted on Monday he regrets not letting Texas score during the final two minutes of the Buckeyes' 24-23 loss, saying his strategy to hold the line at the one-yard line ultimately proved wrong.
- The sixth-ranked Buckeyes suffered a historic collapse on Saturday, losing after leading by 20 points in the fourth quarter—the first time in program history Ohio State fell while leading by at least 17 points at halftime.
- With 55 seconds remaining at Ohio State's one-yard line, Day called timeout. "It didn't work, so the answer is yes," Day said when asked if holding the line was a mistake; Hollywood Smothers scored two plays later, leaving just 25 seconds.
- Day conducted a post-mortem at his Tuesday news conference, aiming to prevent the setback from snowballing through the season. He told players, "I think we can use this as fuel" to drive improvement moving forward.
- Before opening Big Ten play against Illinois on Sept. 26, the Buckeyes host Kent State on Saturday, seeking to correct mistakes and improve on their 1-1 record.
