Though a tense moment had Ryan Day and Greg Schiano seeing red, the two head coaches said after the game they have nothing but love and respect for each other and that the moment was simply about protecting their respective teams.
“They came after the punt and Jesse rolled out to the right. Nothing we had ever worked on, he just saw it and took it. He was just a football player. And then took that shot on the sideline and things got heated.
“Just one coach defending their side and one coach defending theirs. There’s no hard feelings at all. I told him that after the game. I have an unbelievable amount of respect for him. So that’s all that was.”“I just grabbed him. I said, ‘What happened?’ And he said, ‘I rolled out to the right,’ and he goes, ‘Nobody was on me.’ I said, ‘OK, anybody tell you to do that?’ He says, ‘No.’ I said, ‘OK, we’ll talk about that tomorrow.’”“It’s not Ryan Day and I.
“My player was in a sea of Ohio State players and it was closing fast. And I wanted to make sure two things: No. 1 is I wanted to stop our team from coming across the field. That’s how things get very ugly. And I wanted to make sure our player got out of there safely. “We’re both very competitive guys. I’ve got the utmost respect for Ryan. We’re good friends. We’re good. There’s no problems between us.”We’re good friends. We both weren’t going to let that get in the way. In the heat of the moment, competitive, we’re both protecting our players. That’s what good coaches do.”“I think I know where you’re going with that. I think it’s our job to stop them. That’s our job. I don’t think that was called. I think that just got ran because of scheme.
“It was literally just two competitive guys who were protecting their players. And like I said, I just did not want a fight to break out. It’s not good for Rutgers, it’s not good for Ohio State, it’s not good for college football. So mission accomplished — it didn’t happen.
