Ohio State’s rematch with Texas should be a doozy
Ohio State Buckeyes coach Ryan Day is not taking the Texas Longhorns lightly, nor should he.
Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day is no longer on the hot seat after leading his team to a national championship last season, but that does not mean his stress levels are at zero.
Day still has a long road ahead of him, as Ohio State is attempting to repeat as a national champion. Not only that, but the Buckeyes need to get their quarterback situation sorted out, and they have almost an entirely new defense after losing so many pieces to the NFL Draft
So, yeah: while the national title was nice and all, that’s in the past now, and Day has to focus on what’s in front of him. And the closest thing in that regard is the Texas Longhorns.
Ohio State will open up its regular season against Texas on Aug. 30, and Day is already sweating bullets over it. When asked if he had been sleeping easier since winning the championship, he replied “no” and then explained the challenge that lies ahead.
“If we didn’t open up with Texas, maybe,” Day said, via Chase Brown of Eleven Warriors. “If you want to take a deep breath — I mean, the first game is a monster, right out of the gate.”
