Ryan Day Emphasizing Importance of Preparation As Ohio State Looks to Maintain Edge It’s Had in College Football Playoff

What’s enabled Ohio State to be so dominant in its first two College Football Playoff games? Sonny Styles believes it all starts with how the Buckeyes have prepared.

“I think Coach Day has handled the schedule really well, and I think all the coaches prepared us really well for the games, and I think that shows up in the game,” the Ohio State linebacker said. “I think our preparation has been better than the last two teams we played.”

The Buckeyes’ approach to preparation for their CFP games hasn’t necessarily been different than it was during the regular season, but they’ve buckled down on it with extra urgency knowing they must win to keep their season alive.
