As he prepared to lead the Ohio State football team onto the field before the Buckeyes’ season opener at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, Ryan Day couldn’t help but have a moment of disbelief.
“Standing in the tunnel and looking up at Ohio State and the Horseshoe, about to run out with the team, and I just looked over at (assistant director of football operations) Quinn (Tempel), and I'm like: ‘We really doing this?’ He said, ‘Yeah.’ And I had a smile on my face and ran out,” Day said.
With Urban Meyer serving his first game of a three-game suspension, Ryan Day served as Ohio State’s acting head coach for Saturday’s game against Oregon State.
