"This is a really good . We have to execute better. We have to get our hands on balls.""We want to have balance across the board. We want to be able to run the ball. We want to have balance across all of our positions." Day said the game came down to the final moments because Ohio State failed to consistently execute on both sides of the ball. He said the Buckeyes will need to be more disciplined against Maryland this season.Day on Miyan Williams, who has had"a good week of practice" for Ohio State: "I look forward to getting Miyan going here this week." Day said he wants to see Williams contribute along with TreVeyon Henderson and Chip Trayanum out of the running back room.
On whether he was surprised to see Josh Proctor return for a sixth year: “We sat down and had a long conversation about the positives of going out, the positives of coming back. ... He wanted a full year of preparing for this last season and putting his best foot forward ... if we’re going to reach our goals this season, we’re going to need Josh to be a big part of our defense.
