Almost six years after becoming Ohio State’s head coach and three years after Jim Harbaugh’s 'third base' comment, Ryan Day remains 90 feet from home plate.
Harbaugh’s comment came to mind as I reflected on Ohio State’s 32-31 loss to Oregon, not because I now believe it, but for another reason. How Day arrived on third base doesn’t matter, but this does: Almost six years after becoming Ohio State’s head coach and three years after Harbaugh’s comment in November 2021, Day remains 90 feet from home plate.
Finally, there’s been the stuff Day couldn’t control — call it poor umpiring or a rain delay, I don’t care — such as the referees calling back Ohio State’sWhatever the reason, Day's narrative is that he can’t win the big games. He’s stuck at third base and can’t get home to score the winning run. And while he has two Big Ten championships and three College Football Playoff appearances, he’s still 2-7 against AP top-five opponents.
When Simmons went down, Zen Michalski swapped in at left tackle. Unlike Austin Siereveld, who filled in for Tegra Tshabola and started for the Buckeyes' wins over Akron and Western Michigan, Michalski had limited experience near the end of blowouts for Ohio State. Still, Day said the fourth-year offensive lineman performed well in place of Simmons.
What the heck happened to Denzel Burke? And the Ohio State defense — what the heck happened to the Ohio State defense?
