A new year brings a massive clash between Ohio State and Oregon in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal tomorrow.
Before their teams rematch before the gorgeous tapestry of the Rose Bowl, coaches Ryan Day and Dan Lanning met with the media on Tuesday for a joint press conference. Both stressed the importance of “execution over emotion” entering a game with a lot of stakes and a bit of competitive bad blood.
Day said the key to preventing the explosive plays that hurt Ohio State in the first matchup will be quick alignment and sharp communication.
