Ryan Day didn't appreciate the comments Lou Holtz made about his team, and he let the world know it following Ohio State's win over Notre Dame.
The Ohio State coach took fire at Lou Holtz during his walk-off interview with NBC, directing aim at the former Notre Dame coach when he was asked about the performance of quarterback"Toughness. Toughness, that's it," Day began."Physicality across the board. Guts. I'd like to know where Lou Holtz is right now. What he said about our team … I cannot believe. This is a tough team right here.
"We're proud to be from Ohio. It's always been Ohio against the world, and it'll continue to be Ohio against the world. But I'll tell you what, I love those kids, and we've got a tough team."When Day was asked what his team proved in Saturday's win in a follow-up question, he took further aim at some of Ohio State's biggest doubters over the last couple of years.
"Everybody's questioning these kids all the time," Day said."We had one bad half the last couple of years. That's it. Everybody wants to question these guys. These guys are warriors right here. This kid [McCord], to come back in the second half and win, I'm emotional about this, for a reason. "A lot of people questioned these kids and say a lot of things about them. I love 'em. When someone attacks your family, to come in and win like this, it's special. It's a great win for our program and a great win for Ohio State."
Prior to Saturday's instant classic, Holtz cited the way Ohio State has lost over the last few seasons as why he was confident that Notre Dame would win and that Ohio State"better bring their lunch because it's going to be a full damn day's work."
