Ryan Day lists area of biggest disappointment from win over Northwestern

Ryan Day was glad to get a win in Evanston last Saturday but was notably disappointed about one aspect of the offense’s performance. The Ohio State HC explained what that was at Tuesday’s press conference.

Day stated that with everything that happened in the running game, he wishes Ohio State would have done better in short-yardage situations. He also wasn’t proud of how the offensive line didn’t generate much movement.

“Of all the things I was disappointed in with the running game, short yardage was at the top of the list.”

Day also said the O-line didn’t generate as much movement as he would have liked.

Day is planning on watching film from the game in order to make things better.

“I think we all need to do better,” said Day. “Going back and watching the film, we gotta block better, we gotta run better, we gotta do a better job equating the numbers. We know we can do a better job.”

The Buckeyes will need to do a better job of running the ball against Michigan on Nov. 26. The Wolverine defense might not be as forgiving as Northwestern’s was.
