Ryan Day discusses running backs, says his DL against Wisconsin will 'have their best game of the year'

At noon ET on Saturday, No. 3 Ohio State is hosting No. 13 Wisconsin.

Surely, the Big Ten clash will capture the eyes of many across the country. And, the Badgers losing a week ago on a last-second field goal to Illinois hasn’t put a stop to the hype.

Imagine if Ohio State blows out Wisconsin. Who would say the Buckeyes aren’t the best team in the country? And what if the Badgers bounce back and upset the Buckeyes. That would leave the Big Ten wide open as to which team should be the favorite going forward.

On Thursday, Buckeye coach Ryan Day made his weekly radio appearance and talked about his running backs J.K. Dobbins and Master Teague:

Day on J.K. Dobbins: "He's running hard. It was great to see him out of the backfield catching that (TD) pass."

Day on Master Teague: "He's a good change of pace." Day said a change in Teague from last year is that he's seeing holes better this year.

Along with the running back talk, Day spoke about his defensive line going against one of the best offensive lines in the country in Wisconsin. The confidence Day has is impressive:

Day on OSU's defensive line, especially the interior: "They're going to have their best game of the year."

Does Day truly believe his defensive line is absolutely going to wreck Wisconsin? Maybe. Or, maybe he’s being optimistic and trying to get his unit pumped up and ready for the B1G showdown.

Regardless, we’ll see how it all plays out on FOX Saturday afternoon.
