Greg Schiano says he and Ryan Day were just protecting their respective players and that they’re still good friends: “We're good, there's no problem there between us.”
Rutgers found out the hard way when it comes to trying to stop Ohio State's passing attack *and* running game...and even a fake punt.Saturday afternoon. The game was never expected to be close. Then again, given what has happened across college football through the first month of the season, anything could happen on any given Saturday.
"It was going to take a lot. We didn't come here to get close. We came here to win. That's something you have to learn to do, especially against a team of this quality. You gotta get good enough to do that. But we came here with that, that was our mission, and we weren't quite good enough to do that. We weren't going to hold back. To me, it was an opportunity that we didn't take advantage of but nonetheless, it was an opportunity.
“It's not Ryan Day and I. I think it's two coaches that protect our players. My player was in a sea of Ohio State players and it was closing fast so I wanted to make sure of two things: No. 1, I wanted to stop our team from coming across the field. That's how things get very ugly. And I wanted to make sure that our player got out of there safely.
"The thing that had me the most fearful was their passing game,” Schiano said. “So we were going to try and make sure that that didn't – that's how that game gets out of hand. You've seen it happen to many people. It's just explosive when you're putting in the throw game." The problem: Miyan Williams, who started his first game of the season due to TreVeyon Henderson being held out of the game, absolutely dominated and essentially did whatever he wanted to do for much of the game. The junior ran for 189 yards and five touchdowns on just 21 carries.
