Ohio State was without head coach Urban Meyer in the season opener, but Ryan Day and the Buckeyes looked just fine without their leader on Saturday.
The Buckeyes were in control from the opening kickoff and dominated in all facets of the game. Mike Weber had a big day on the ground, Dwayne Haskins was as good as advertised and Nick Bosa couldn’t be blocked.
Here’s what interim head coach Ryan Day had to say after Ohio State’s big win in Week 1:
Ryan Day on Ohio State’s offense, which scored 10 touchdowns: “I thought we played with tempo today, and were aggressive.”

"I don't think I proved anything to myself. It was one of those things where you had to jump in the pool, just do it." — Ryan Day after serving as OSU's acting head coach today during a 77-31 win over Oregon State

Ryan Day said the three things he enjoyed the most in the last 24 hours were …
1) spending time with the players during bed check last night
2) the support the team received during Skull Session
3) seeing so many fans return to their seats after the long weather delay pic.twitter.com/KdCxhJuqJD— Jeff Rapp (@RappUp) September 1, 2018
