Lightning Round: Ryan Day Says “You Come to Ohio State to Win Games Like This,” Jay Timmons “Doesn’t Carry Himself Like a Freshman”​

• Day said Ohio State has “listened to our sports science folks” about how to prepare for the heat in Austin this weekend. Day said the Buckeyes aren’t overdoing it regarding their preparation for the high temperatures and are keeping the game the main focus.
• On Ohio State vs. Texas: “You come to Ohio State to win games like this. We’re all evaluated by games like this. … This is what it’s all about.”
• On Ohio State’s tight ends: “Overall, they’re gonna be a key part of what we do. … So far, solid. We’ll see that group obviously grow as the season goes on.”
• When asked about Julian Sayin’s preparation for the Texas game, Day said Ohio State keeps the routine the routine to make sure the coaches and players are ready for big games. On Sayin specifically, Day said, “His routine has been excellent.”
• Day said defensive end Qua Russaw has had a “full week” of practice leading up to the Texas game.
• Day said Texas has great wide receivers, but Ohio State’s defensive backs should be well-prepared for the challenge because they defend some of the best pass catchers in America every practice: “Great challenge for them. … They have to trust their training. … Their guys are excellent, some of the best in the country.”
• On Jay Timmons: “He really pops off the screen. … You just see the competitiveness. He doesn’t carry himself like a freshman to me.”
• Day said Ohio State is still evaluating whether Legend Bey will continue returning kickoffs this week, but he did return kicks in practice today.

The protests at Ohio State were much bigger than at Kent. Rhodes just didn't want to make his stand at the big school in Columbus. After the Kent massacre, the protests and riots at Ohio State were as large as anything in the country.

Regarding the Oline, I noticed that everyone of them got beat in pass rush, . thats bad against a ball state. I still dont understand how Daniels is a all conference
I aslo noticed that we dont have a DE that performed at an elite level.
If they dont pick it up we could have a letdown against Texas.

Authentic dickhead is -1 for dickhead +1 for authentic, it's a redeemable quality, so 0

Fake dickhead is -1 for duplicity and -1 for dickhead so -2.

0 is better than -2

It's science
