On C.J. Stroud, Ryan Day says “the same people that told him, ‘Maybe you shouldn’t be playing,’ are the same people telling him he should be the Heisman Trophy winner. You can’t listen to either of those people.”

On the Buckeye defense, Day says “they took it as a challenge to stop the run.” Day says the Buckeyes focused on making Michigan State one-dimensional on offense.
