Ohio State head coach Ryan Day kept the receipts.
In an interview after his team pulled off a stunning last-second win on the road against Notre Dame, the fifth-year head coach didn’t hold back and called out all the people who doubted his team would be in the top 10. Showdown in South Bend would be former Fighting Irish head coach Lou Holtz. Holtz, who led Notre Dame to its last national championship, said on “The Pat McAfee Show” that the Buckeyes weren’t physical enough and that’s why they lost high-profile games during Day’s tenure. He also said Notre Dame is “a better team.”
“I’d like to know where Lou Holtz is right now,” said an excited Day. “I can’t believe what he said about our team. This is a strong team here! We are proud to be from Ohio! It’s always been Ohio against the world, and it will continue to be Ohio against the world!”
“I love these kids and we have a strong team!”
Day added that the Buckeyes’ toughness was the key to their victory at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday night, completing their comeback victory with a last-second touchdown.
“Everyone questions these kids all the time! We’ve had a bad half the last few years! That’s it! Everyone wants to question these guys! These guys are warriors who are here to come back and win,” Day said. “I’m emotional about it for a reason. Many people question these children and say a lot about them. I love her. When someone attacks your family, it’s special to come in and win like that. A great win for our program and a great win for Ohio State.
