When a team is playing as well as Ohio State has played in the first half of the regular season, a bye week isn’t necessarily always a good thing.
The Buckeyes certainly have momentum on their side right now, having won all six of their games so far including five straight games by at least 29 points, so there’s the question of whether having the weekend off will slow that momentum.
Given that many of Ohio State’s key players have dealt with injuries during the first six weeks of the season, however, Day believes the benefits of not having a game this week outweigh any drawbacks.
