Rose Bowl celebrations are over. It's on to the next round of the College Football Playoff for Ohio State, a semifinal date with Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
Two days after a triumphant 41-21 win over Oregon and one week before the Buckeyes meet the Longhorns, Ryan Day met with the media on Friday to preview the matchup and discuss what went right – and even what went wrong – against the Ducks.
Moving forward, however, part of the motivation for the Buckeyes is the opportunity to play another week of football together.
