Ryan Day calls on Ohio State secondary to step up in one-on-one situations
Published:
Ryan Day spoke about what has been a recurring issue for Ohio State, its corner play. Bill Rabinowitz of the Columbus Dispatch posted what he said on social media.
Ohio State has let up 194.3 yards passing per game on defense so far. This is an improvement from last season (246.9), but Day wants his cornerbacks to get better in one-on-one situations.
“There’s been plays on the corner and we have to do a better job of making plays in those 1-on-1 situations.”
At the same time, Day knows that Denzel Burke and Cam Brown are still rounding into form. He also mentioned how much faith he still has in those two.
