"We've got to look into everything and try to figure out different ways in practice to apply more pressure. I think we've done that. We've looked into it. We've made changes. I think that everybody has to feel pressure — there's no question," Day said. "
What we've done hasn't worked, so we've got to continue to figure out ways to get it better. I do think we have guys that can kick field goals, and they've shown that they can do that, but it's got to be consistent, and it's got to be in big spots. You ultimately fall to the level of your training, but we have to keep looking and uncover all stones to get this thing addressed, because we know it's going to come down to one of these kicks again that we've got to make."
Across the board, Ohio State needs better play from its special teams. And it needs to happen fast before the errors lead to more losses.
"When we play against certain teams, teams will look to try to steal a possession, and so there's times where we have to make sure that we're covering our bases," Day said. "But just overall, when we look at the consistency of kicking field goals, not good enough. When we look at our return yards, we need to be better across the board. When we have an opportunity to pooch the ball inside the 10-yard line, that has to get done. So it's a challenge to everybody in the program."
