Ryan Day left his starting unit out for longer than expected against Arkansas State Saturday.
There’s obvious risk involved in this. CJ Stroud or another important starter going down up 30 against Arkansas State is easily avoidable, but Day has his reasons.
He just felt the Buckeyes needed more room to grow.

Ohio State seemed like they got a signature win early, but Notre Dame has faltered since Week 1, losing to Marshall last week. Ohio State did not perform well enough to Day’s liking in Week 1, and explains his thought process on Saturday.
What do you think? Is it worth the risk of injury?
