Ryan Day Says Joe McGuire Will Remain Ohio State’s Punter, But Acknowledges Punting Has Been A “Mixed Bag”
For the season as a whole, McGuire has averaged 40.9 yards per punt, which would be the lowest average for Ohio State’s starting punter since 2009.
Despite that, Day has no plans to switch punters. While Nick McLarty is on scholarship and had a 45-yard boot on his lone punt this season against Grambling State, he believes McGuire remains the Buckeyes’ top punter. But he acknowledged that the Buckeyes should be better than they’ve been in that area.
“We haven't punted a whole bunch. The sample size is probably a mixed bag right now. We need to continually look at it and evaluate it and make sure we're doing what's best. But Joey will be our punter right now,” Day said. “We work at it a lot. It will be the first thing we do on Tuesday (in practice). I think we have the right guys in the game – we always take a look at that – in terms of protection and guys covering. I think it's been solid, but I know we can do better."

Northwestern reveals plans for new $850 million Ryan Field
When Northwestern opens the new Ryan Field in 2026, it will not only be the largest stadium project in college football history, with a price tag of $850 million, but possibly a model for future stadium designs around the sport.
Plans for the privately funded stadium, supported mostly by the Ryan family, were revealed Monday and shared with ESPN. The new Ryan Field has elements from recently constructed NFL stadiums as well as soccer facilities in MLS and the English Premier League. The stadium will have the Big Ten's smallest capacity at 35,000, but emphasizes the experience for each spectator, which includes sightlines much closer to the field than traditional bowled stadiums, because of structural steel in the base of the stadium.
"Our worst seat in this stadium is 100 feet closer to the field than the most expensive seat at the Big House," .........said Pat Ryan Jr., co-CEO of Ryan Sports Development, referring to 107,601-seat Michigan Stadium. "You're building things up and cantilevering them over instead of going out. It's structurally much more challenging from an engineering perspective, but you've got to create better-than-TV sightlines."
Ryan, whose family is a minority owner of the Chicago Bears and has a stake in the EPL club AFC Bournemouth, surveyed multiple recent professional facilities during the design process. The new Ryan Field will feature a canopy that covers the entire seating area but not the playing field, and is designed to maximize sound. Northwestern's student section will be positioned and designed more like a supporters' section at top soccer stadiums.
Lower.com Field, which opened in 2021 as the new home for the MLS' Columbus Crew, was the "most influential," Ryan said, in shaping the design.
"A lot of people look at first-of-its-kind and say, 'Oh, it's just a mini NFL stadium,' but it's really something specific for college," Ryan said. "Every college we've seen has said, 'We know we need to think about doing something like this, but somebody needed to go first.' Everybody else is saying, 'We're going to watch closely, and if it works, we'll come see it.'"
