Ryan Day complimentary of WR Jahan Dotson, impressed with Penn State's defense

Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day knows the challenges that the Nittany Lions pose against his team.

During Day’s presser on Tuesday, he spoke about receiver Jahan Dotson, who’s quickly become one of the premier receivers in all of college football.

Day confirmed that they have to know where Dotson is at all times, considering how he roasted his squad last season with 8 receptions for 144 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Day was also very complimentary on Penn State’s defense as the unit has been one of the best defenses in the country. He knows how good Brent Pry is at scheming his players to put them in the best position to succeed.

Ryan Day on Penn State's defense: “It's a very good defense. Brent Pry's an excellent defensive coordinator, has been for a long time. They have a very good scheme, very good players … They're one of the better defenses in the country, in my opinion.”

This is a pivotal game for Ohio State as it looks to run the gauntlet for the rest of the season. A win gets the Buckeyes to 7-1 and gets them even closer to the B1G Championship game in December.

Kickoff from Columbus will be at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night.
