Ohio State coach Ryan Day gave the latest updates on the program during his weekly radio show and a press conference on Oct. 7.
Here’s a sampling of what Day touched on:
Asked about whether a lack of night games is impacting recruiting, Ryan Day hints at the possibility of Ohio State having another night game this year.
Penn State game, perhaps?

Ryan Day says that while it is important for Ohio State to take some momentum into the bye week and the second half of the season, he won’t talk to the team about that until Saturday’s game; right now, he wants the team’s full focus to be on just winning Saturday’s game.

Ryan Day says on his radio show that freshman safety Jantzen Dunn’s injury is “long-term.”

Ryan Day said he doesn’t think the score of Maryland’s 51-14 loss to Iowa last week is indicative of the Terrapins.
“When you turn the ball over the way they did, games get sideways quick.”

On the safeties:
“There’s quite a few guys that are still trying to find out what their role is.”
Makes clear that these are guys that deserve roles

On his radio show on @971thefan, Ryan Day said Ohio State had another good week of practice and added it’s something that’s particularly important for a young team.
“We’re starting to get a callus to us and understanding the grind.”

Ryan Day on Maryland: “This is a team that’s going to come in hungry to play, and they’re dangerous.” Says last week’s game against Iowa isn’t indicative of Maryland’s talent, because the game spiraled away from the Terrapins due to turnovers.

Maryland was routed 51-14 by Iowa for its first loss of the season. Ohio State is 6-0 all-time vs. Maryland.
