I am by no means a schematically inclined viewer. However, I look at things holistically.
The presumption that you're making is that Day refused to target the center of the field. I'm inclined to agree when it comes to the quick throws to the sidelines that yielded nothing repeatedly. I think it's worth considering whether or not CJ was targeting areas of the field incorrectly at times.
However, I take Coach Day's interview at the end of the game into my account when he says that they just wanted to get to the fourth quarter and win the game. In light of that, I view it as a matter of playing chess. There's the opening, mid game, and close. There's no doubt that the close happened effectively, precisely, and quickly.
That's essentially why I disagree with the first two points of your post that I responded to. The game was won today, and as noted elsewhere, by a greater margin than has occurred recently and repeatedly.
As for the evisceration by the press that you hope for... Day deals with that on a regular basis within and without the Buckeye fan base. Yet, I imagine that no one is harder on him and his staff than himself.
