In the immediate aftermath of Ohio State's dramatic 17-14 win over Notre Dame in South Bend, Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day had something to get off his chest.
Ohio State had a 10-0 lead over Notre Dame early in the third quarter, but the Irish stormed back and took a 14-10 lead with 8:22 to play. Ohio State’s final chance to win the game came with 1:26 to play and Kyle McCord led the offense all the way to the Notre Dame 1-yard line.
And with just one second remaining, Chip Trayanum plunged in from a yard out to give the Buckeyes a dramatic 17-14 win to improve to 4-0 on the year. Notre Dame, meanwhile, dropped to 4-1. Day improved to 49-6 as Ohio State’s full-time head coach with the win. Despite that incredible record, he has taken some criticism for the way the Buckeyes have performed in the biggest games. He’s especially taken heat for losing to rival Michigan the past two seasons.
There are still games vs. top 10 teams Penn State and Michigan on the schedule this season, but getting a gutsy road win over a program like Notre Dame — and showing so much pride after doing so — should help Day’s perception among Ohio State diehards for the time being.
