At Ohio State, undefeated seasons are the expectation, not the exception. That’s how head coach Ryan Day sees it.
Off the heels of a 2021 season in which the Buckeyes lost to Oregon and Michigan but won its Rose Bowl matchup over a talented Utah team, Day said this at 2022 Big Ten Media Days: “Our expectation is to win every game. Maybe at some places, 11-2 with a Rose Bowl victory is a good year. It’s not at Ohio State.”
Yet, with a roster that featured C.J. Stroud, Paris Johnson Jr., Jaxon Smith-Njigba and several other stars, the Buckeyes produced the same record last season.
