Weaker opponents in November bring about off-field talking points surrounding Ohio State football.
Two that have emerged in between the Buckeyes' 45-0 shelling of Purdue and its upcoming matchup with Northwestern at Wrigley Field are the six straight noon games Ohio State will close its regular season with and slips occurring on the turf at Ohio Stadium. At his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Day fielded questions about both.
While Day isn't concerned with the noon kickoffs, saying the Buckeyes will play whenever they're told to, the coach said the turf is something the team continues evaluating on a weekly basis.
