Ryan Day Calls Ohio State's Texas Collapse 'Maddening' as Sixth-Ranked Buckeyes Seek Quick Fixes

  • On Saturday, Ohio State suffered a 24-23 loss to Texas, capping a dramatic fourth-quarter collapse that left head coach Ryan Day facing intense backlash for his late-game management decisions.
  • Day opted to play defense on 1st-and-goal from the 1-yard line instead of letting Texas score, a decision that left the Buckeyes with no timeouts and only 25 seconds for a potential game-winning drive.
  • Despite outgaining Texas 372 to 336 yards, Ohio State managed only three points after halftime, squandering a 24-3 lead; kicker Connor Hawkins missed a 45-yard field goal in the fourth quarter that could have sealed the victory.
  • Fans and media slammed the decision, with some calling it "coaching malpractice." Day admitted the loss "hurts" while taking accountability for the fourth-quarter collapse to reporters.
  • With a long season ahead, Day faces mounting pressure to reach the College Football Playoff as Big Ten champion, requiring him to correct these issues to maintain his standing.
