Ryan Day felt Ohio State 'needed to win' in the fashion it did against Notre Dame to stop the narrative that the Buckeyes lack physicality.
Centering around the comments of, Ohio State’s head man took to heart questions aired about the physicality and toughness of his bunch.
“I’ve got a bunch of guys that I love, that I work with every single day and to hear some of the things that were said – I get Ohio against the World, but we needed to go play like that today,” Day said. “We needed to win like that to go stop that narrative because it’s not true. And to win like that, the way we did, I think it’s going to do that. I know it is.”
Still, Chip Trayanum managed to plunge across the goal line from a yard away when it mattered most Saturday. It wasn’t just Holtz that got under Day’s skin. It seemed a broader national narrative surrounding Ohio State’s physicality got through to him. Opening the season at home against the Fighting Irish, the Buckeyes beat Marcus Freeman’s bunch with stout defense and a rushing attack that wore on their opponent. TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams both surpassed 80 yards on the ground, averaging 6.0 yards per carry or better, the latter making a particular impact on Ohio State’s 14-play, 95-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter that sealed a 21-10 win.
