Ohio State Coach ADMITS Something After National Championship vs Notre Dame! | Buckeyes | CFP

[@JoshJorg44]

As in Ohio State fan, I had always defended Ryan Day, but after that Michigan Loss, it was really hard to defend him and I really started to question him. I never had any hate for him, but really questioned him after that loss. However, even though he could have given up, he picked himself back up and helped his team go on one of the greatest runs ever. Something changed after that Michigan loss and I feel like Ryan Day will never be the same again. He's still a very young coach and this is his first head coaching job so there's a lot of things to learn but he has gotten them very close quite a few times already and now they finally won the whole thing. Congratulations to the entire Ohio State Buckeyes staff and team

[@markcrossen8330]

As an Ohio State fan, I was in the same boat. I was one that thought that he would have been fired if he lost to Tennessee and had the ending to the season that they could have had. I got a little nervous towards the end. I know that everything had to go right for Notre Dame to even tie the game to go into OT, but I couldn't help but think about that possibility. I'm glad that team came together like they did and I think Ryan Day takes the experience he gained from going through this and stays in contention for national titles moving forward. As always, Go Bucks O-H!

Good effort ND. I appreciated the sportsmanship and fight. That said, this is the most legitimate Champion we've had because we made them prove it and they did. Waxed the entire field by double digits. Beat 5 top 5 teams over the course of the season (never done before.) and if you take the AP top 8 at the end of regular season, OSU beat 6 (They were ranked 6 and didn't play UGA - These 6 made up half of the playoff field.) Everyone saw what happened. Besides that ND tuddy to start. OSU never trailed in this tournament. It never felt like they were gonna lose. Pretty damn awesome. Leave no doubt was the mantra. Mission accomplished. Go Bucks!

Congrats to Ohio State! Michigan awakened the dominant team within, and credit Ryan Day, all the coaches and players for elevating their game and playing to their full potential. My team (ND) lost and didn't play their best game. But Ohio State had a lot to do with that and were the better team. The Bucks were very deserving of this championship.

[@zekedawg7981]

Adult Buckeye fan for longer than most of you have been alive and many of your parents. Remember 1968? Back then the Big 10 actually was 10 teams and widely known as the Big 2 little 8. No Natty, no Big 10 championship so OSU/UM was everything and intense rivalry was strong. Has sinse grown way out of proportion. We need to cool it off to something manageable. Still a big game but we have a lot of big games now. Oregon, Penn State, Washington, Texas and other SEC teams. GO BUCKS and our coaching staff, especially Ryan Day, Chip Kelly and Brian Hartline!!!

[@jangorh]

@ yeah when your QB is already hobbled and gassed after first drive that’s a problem. Freeman even said in post game presser when asked about OSU adjustments to qb run “We can’t expect Riley to run the ball every play” The kid had 184 rushing attempts this year. Trey Henderson had 144, Judkins 195. That’s wiiiiiiild, kid just didn’t have any legs left.

[@rongrubb8386]

The reason 2nd half got "interesting"?? OSU started playing conservative. Why? One of 2 reasons... 1) didn't want any turnovers / wanted the clock to run... happy w/ letting ND score one or two more times... CONSERVATIVE. This ruins your rhythm... let's ND get back in it. 2) Showing a little respect for ND... not wanting to run the score up. Once again, ruins your rhythm... let's ND get back in it.

[@cbmetalgod88]

Nobody out there can't that Ohio State didn't deserve this. They had a tough regular season schedule and then a borderline impossible playoff run. They played against the best teams this season and dominated in the playoffs. It wasn't even close. This is the best version of Ohio State I've ever seen. I'm not sure we'll ever see a team like this again, but man, was it fun to watch them rise to the top and win the Natty in 2025.

I'm agnostic on ND (pun intended) but Bucks kinda let them back in with, NO NAMES, DB penalties once again Also yes the forced fumble (good play) Yeah FG attempt not right call Howard played really well overall with running and passing execution Lastly coaching and QBing is exponentially easier with this level of talent You have quantitatively more options with a high probability of success with this talent Now add that with top D and that is very hard to overcome for ND

[@JEMUltramagneticFilms]

I get kinda tired of everyone lumping all Ohio State fans into a group that was calling for his firing. It is always a very loud and very, very small minority that gets all the attention. My thought after Michigan was simple, you can't fire a guy who's won that many games, and you surely cannot fire him before the CFP. Only the moronic OSU fans were even saying that. On a side note, from the comments below, I started wondering if NDs schedule made it possible for them to make this run. They played a lot of lower tiered teams in the power 5 and until the playoffs, stayed reasonably healthy.

[@guitarcircuit]

They gave ND a free first down on that opening drive. The ball placement was off by a yard! No way he made that first down at the 45.

[@MisterCrockett]

Can't wait to see what Ohio States offense look like next season when Jeremiah Smith is paired with 2026's top rated WR Chris Henry Jr "6'5", they're going to be hell to defend especially with Tate in the slot.

Normally when a team established the run it wears out the defense. In this game ND actually wore themselves out on the first drive and it took until the third and fourth quarter for them to get their second wind.

One more comment lol. I’ve lived in Ohio 45 years (my whole life lol). I’ve been through some shitty years of football. I don’t give up on my buckeyes no matter what. Ever!! I’ve seen too much crazy shit happen lol. Ryan Day is a first time head coach. Won a natty in year 6. It took Saban 2 head coaching jobs and 10 years to win his first. Got ran out of the NFL too.

[@michael6700]

The fake punt, although I didn't predict it, I am sure OSU was ready. Agree, ND really should have lined up showing confidence that they could convert, even if they ran a trick play. Chances of success would have been better than a fake punt.

[@MrHEMIII]

Very good comments!

[@markbartlett5049]

I expected a war and thought the whole game was going to be like those fist 2 possessions. OSU had more depth so I expected them to prevail late in 2d half. I think ND wore themselves out on that 1st drive, they did not get their wind back until the fumble.

it was unsustainable. I think he was rocked in that first drive so 4Q of that would have affected him for sure.

[@johncarroll1577]

I can't stand when people say, "oh if this happened then we would won" type of nonsense. There are blow calls and missed opportunities in every game, that's what make it fun to watch. If UGA decided to catch the ball, or not commit turnovers they really pushed ND around. Butttttt... they didn't. Sorry we lost let retool for next year. And the game goes on.

[@gibo9933]

ND should have came out chucking it around. Saved Riley’s legs for the second half. May have helped them a bit. I still don’t think it matters. Ohio State had the Mon-Stars and MJ all on the same team. Prolly bugs and daffy too lol

[@Fhogg19]

It is ohio vs the world, but it is also ohio fans vs ohio fans. I've talked to people that wanted Day fired all season long, I've talked to fans that admitted they wanted him fired after the game with that team up north, and I have talked to people who legitimately backed day all throughout. Some people who said he should be fired, said they would overlook the loss to M if we won the natty. There are so many true fans that just have different ideas of how to get to perfection. We all feel so strongly about Ohio state, but no we are not all on the same page. And I'm not a big fan of the whole "if you think differently than xyz then youre not a true fan".

I think if notre dame scores one more time it’s actually more of a blowout. I’ll explain. When Day’s strategy caused losses or bad games it was always this “playing to waste clock and playing to not lose”. that team as odd as it may be cannot do that. That team functions best on pedal to the metal. The clock management and conservative style they just couldn’t do well. If ND scores again I think they keep the foot down and score more. Just a theory

It was over at halftime. Game was never in question. ND was completely outcoached and out matched. ND should join a real conference and play some good teams in the regular season so they can be more prepared for real games in the CFP

[@toddjohnson271]

If ND makes that FG its a whole different ending. OSU was getting the yips after fumble. But yes, extremely dominant first half.

[@theflew]

@@toddjohnson271 No, Ohio State would have stopped running the ball up the middle, trying to wind down the clock. ND didn't stop OSU all night. Even the fumble was lucky and close to being down. ND still had to march almost the length of the field to try to get points.

[@toddjohnson271]

@@theflew And they did.....FG makes it 18 and it's a one score game. OSU dominated the numbers except the score could have been very close. They were not great 2nd half.

[@briangulley6027]

OSU tried to blow the game, the fumble after the big gain and the PI on 3rd and forever by #1 the most penalized CB in football. That and taking their foot off the gas they let ND back in the game.

[@DaveTookOver]

That first drive ND looked unstoppable but I think they kind of emptied the tank too early, they definitely were in it up until the end, OSU safety that got the TFL was a big moment swing.

TJ are you "broken-hearted" tonight?

[@jessman8597]

College football is the new "National Fixed League."

[@joelbrooks3198]

No it is not.

I think Ryan Day out talented them and Chip Kelly out coached them. Jim Tressle was the best coach I’ve seen at Ohio State. He won a Championship in his second season, he bet Michigan, every year, except maybe one. He came in after John Cooper and elevated the program. He was a class act and the only mar on his time was some tattoo scandal, which is nothing in today’s NIL. Insert coach X at Georgia or at Ohio State, both (dumb) smart and day, just don’t mess things up and they are in championship running. They don’t even call the Georgia coach by his last name and no other programs look for him and he is never discussed in NFL jobs, neither is Coach Day..

[@InstinktzBTW]

Xavier Watts almost picking off Howard was a mistake.

[@jennygolden3708]

this 12 team playoff season could have looked much different and more detrimental to college football. If OSU beats Michigan, they had the potential to play Oregon three(3) times in one season. At the end of the third qtr, it was obvious to me that running right at Michigan's def big line was insane. Unless someone was playing to lose. The players sensed it, and therefore the big meeting the following week. If the championship game is Oregon vs OSU for a 3rd time in one season, TV ratings suck and the average fan maybe not tuning in. IMHO someone played to lose the big rival game, and only one other person had to be in the loop...a mediocre place kicker or his holder!

Your tin foil hat fell off... 🤡

[@larrydowling5213]

ND 1st quarter drive, although it was amazing, they screwed themselves on time in the end. 🤔🇺🇲🇺🇦

[@jacobr8063]

Winning a Natty is great, but he MUST find a way to STOP LOSING TO MICHIGAN!!

[@francishagood1460]

True statement but every sports organization no matter if it’s NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB so on is to win the championship (superbowl, Stanley cup, world series, NBA championship etc) so beating Michigan should always be considered but if losing to Michigan gives us the ammunition we need to win a Natty I’ll take that every year lol

[@adamdearing6560]

Not true, and if you don't get it, you're not an Ohio State fan. THE GAME is more important than A Natty. Fire Ryan Day!

[@glinn8045]

Ohio native and former The OSU athlete. Michigan became irrelevant the moment they started cheating to win The Game. Coach EGO over tradition and rivalry. In the new CFP era, every game 👉🏽 “The Game”. Any updates on the NCAA cheating scandal investigation or did TTUN ask for ANOTHER delay🎤

[@josephthrower2839]

Not the right time to bring up the team up north. The Buckeyes have just won the ultimate award. They are now the official BEST team in the nation and Coach Day now stand with the other legends that coached and won NATIONAL Titles.

[@themrjim1953]

michigan is nothing, Ryan was after a Natty and got it , thats why he played so conservative against michigan, Ryan wanted to make sure he started the playoff at full strength with no injuries , why rish an injury on a 6-5 team

[@MrOhmikey]

We do have some idiot fans and I'd love to see them gone. Just saying, they embarrass me.

[@MrJD0116]

Looks like by the end of the year, it was Michigan that was the best team😂😂😂

[@j_karma]

7-5. 😂😂😂😂

[@jeffster8089]

20 million spent on the best talent in the country. They should win the Natty

[@michaelmurphy9967]

Except that Oregon, Texas, and ND all spent more than OSU this season.

[@matthewharmon7956]

ND would never win this game. No chance. OSU just better. OSU would not be denied. The TX game was a better game.

[@billmiller2169]

Please quit saying "Noter" Dame. Think "Notra" Dame. I am a staunch Buckeye fan but I shutter when I hear sportscaster abuse the name of one of the best Catholic educational institutions.

I blame the 12 am recording.

[@patrickfrayer3019]

I made it through about 4 minutes of this guy's lame excuses for Notre Dame.

congratulations

​@@CFBAddictionLol. Winning more fans and subs, I see... 😂😂😂

[@jayteerogers2829]

They win with refs like Kansas City refs live Ohio stTe

[@charlesyoung2443]

I don’t know what fucking game you were watching there were so many calls for ND in that second half Ohio States defensive line was getting pulled and grabbed the whole game and not one holding call against ND same with most of the games this year

[@smit7120]

Ryan Day must be fired we can't lose to Michigan every year 😂

[@brandonman1315]

He’s 1-1 against Bitchagain
