"If I could do that again, I would have taken a knee."
Ryan Day's 17th win at Ohio State produced his first apology to an opponent for winning too big.
I feel bad about that at the end of the game. I had a younger quarterback in the game, and I didn’t feel like we had the personnel to take the knee, and I probably should have done that. So I just want to publicly apologize for that to (Nebraska head coach) Scott (Frost).
Day tacked on a garbage time touchdown using 1) the legs of true freshman Jack Miller, a pro-style QB who has still never attempted a collegiate pass, and 2) Xavier Johnson, a walk-on who has been on campus for three years and whose four career carries came on that drive.
