I like to think I was all in from the start. I predicted this Ohio State football team would win the Big Ten title and make it back to the College Football Playoff. That is what they earned through relentless preparation and execution.
While many in the national media were concerned about Ryan Day and Justin Fields, I knew those worries were overblown. I believed this team’s culture would be the foundation for its success.
The players were clearly locked in on Day’s vision and driven to bury the letdowns from the past few seasons.
Now the next journey is in front of Buckeyes.
