Ryan Day says Ohio State needs to play its 'best football' to beat Penn State and that the Nittany Lions 'will come in here and challenge us' in all three phases of the game.
On Thursday, Day looked forward to Ohio State's matchup with Penn State far more than he reflected on his team's 41-7 win over Purdue. For Day, a top-10 matchup with the No. 7-ranked Nittany Lions has the Buckeyes' attention and focus with 48 hours to kickoff.
Day said if Ohio State continues to use that package in the future, defenses will need respect that Brown can throw and run the football. "He throws the ball well. He has a strong arm. He can throw it down the field."Day said"you can see talent" with Inniss. Day said Inniss has performed well as a freshman despite coming to campus in the summer rather than as an early enrollee.
Day said Ohio State's defense is"up 2-0" on Ohio State's offense in a practice period where the former attempts to stop the latter across four downs that start at the 10-yard line. Day said he also wants to see how players"overcome adversity." He wants to see players"who don't fold, who don't crumble... who are warriors."When Tuimoloau and Sawyer sacked Purdue quarterback Hudson Card last weekend, Day said Ohio State's cornerbacks and linebackers did a nice job to have Card hold the ball for an extra second, allowing the defensive ends to reach and sack him. "Great to see those guys make that play in that spot.
