What Ryan Day, Greg Schiano said ahead of Ohio State’s top 25 clash vs. TCU
Published:
Saturday is a big one for No. 4 Ohio State.
The Buckeyes have been dominant in their first two victories of the season, but there are still some of those “who have they played?” critics wandering around out there. On Saturday, OSU will have the opportunity to notch its first marquee victory of the season against No. 15 TCU.
On Thursday, interim head coach Ryan Day and defensive coordinator Greg Schiano filled in on the weekly Urban Meyer radio show to talk about the colossal matchup between two college football powers.
Here’s what both coaches had to say about Saturday’s clash in Texas with TCU:
Ryan Day on being acting head coach for Ohio State's 900th win: "To be a part of that just goes to show what a great tradition is here, and just humbled to be a part of it."

Day on TCU coach Gary Patterson coming up with wrinkles for this game: Said Patterson has done this well for a long time and the Buckeyes must be able to make adjustments on the fly.

Day said TCU is built to handle tempo because it's common in the Big 12. "We have to dictate the tempo. We can't let them dictate the tempo."

Schiano on TCU QB Shawn Robinson: Said he's got a strong arm and is a talented runner who's almost like a RB. Said Buckeyes must be very disciplined.

Schiano on TCU's OL,: "I think this is a really good offensive line. They're very physical, they're athletic and they're big. By far the biggest test we've had. They remind me of a very good Big Ten offensive line."
