Ohio State fans can thank the 2016 Clemson defense for Ryan Day.
And they can thank the 2000 Michigan defense for Kevin Wilson. The next 70 years of Buckeye football won’t be as dramatically recalibrated by the 2016 Fiesta Bowl and a random conference game 20 seasons ago as the previous 70 were by a blocked punt in a snowstorm in 1950.
That would be next to impossible. But we do know the Buckeyes only had seven 1st downs that night in Glendale that weren't gifted by Clemson penalties. And zero points, for a team that regularly scored even while the offense was waiting on the sideline.
