DAY TAKES BLAME FOR HALF-ENDING SACK

If Ohio State hadn’t come back to beat Penn State on Saturday, the three points the Buckeyes left on the table at the end of the first half would have undoubtedly been one of the game’s biggest storylines.

With only six seconds left before halftime and Ohio State trailing 14-13, the Buckeyes had the ball at the 8-yard line looking to take a lead into the break. But instead of kicking a short go-ahead field goal, Ohio State decided to try for a touchdown pass, which ended with Stroud being sacked and the second-quarter clock expiring.



Both Day and Stroud said after the game that there was miscommunication between them on the play. Day expected Stroud to throw a quick fade to the end zone to leave time on the clock even if the pass was not completed, but Stroud instead looked to throw a slant to Egbuka.

“It was just miscommunication between me and Coach Day. Nothing too extreme,” Stroud said. “I should have maybe just thrown the fade up. I knew I was gonna get zero (coverage), and I just gotta get the ball out of my hand. I wanted Mek to run a one-step slant right away, so they can catch them off-guard. They were kind of like backed up three yards in the end zone.”

Even so, Day said he deserved all the blame for the Buckeyes ending that drive without points.

“We were not on the same page he and I, but I'll take all the blame for that,” Day said. “Totally not his fault. Shouldn’t have been in that situation. Six seconds left, just kick the field goal, get some momentum at halftime. So I'll take all the blame for that.”

What it’s like when the head coach is a stand up guy who doesn’t throw kids under the bus. Take a lesson Brian Kelly

I just don’t get it. Either the Buckeyes are that big a draw, or everyone besides me has better things to do than watch football at 8 in the evening.

It was the "perfect storm" for Buckeye football TV ratings:

1) The Buckeyes are a big draw.

2) The primo evening game was total crap: Michigan State – 4 Michigan on ABC.

3) A lot of potential college football fans probably watched the World Series that night.

I agree with you until we get to #3. With the Yankees and the Dodgers out - something that warmed the cockles of my heart - I believe the potential WS audience was cut in half.

I don't think so, it definitely wasn't cut in half:
Houston’s 5-2 victory in Game 2 on Saturday averaged 10.789 million viewers, the most for a Game 2 of the World Series since 2019, when Washington’s 12-3 victory averaged 12.014 million viewers. It was also the most for a Saturday World Series game since 2018, when the Boston Red Sox’s 9-6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers averaged 13.615 million viewers. The World Series has aired on Fox each year since 2000.

BUTT’S BREAKDOWN. I've recently learned that former Michigan tight end Jake Butt analyzes film on the Big Ten Network each week in a segment called “Butt’s Breakdown,” which is an absolutely phenomenal name.
