Day ran a power sweep play on 4th and 1 yard and got stuffed .... Power teams ...go right up the gut in that spotActually most of what Holtz said was true. Clemson and Michigan out physicalled the Bucs. ND defensive line did damn good job until they only had 10 players last two plays.
At the end the Irish really needed just one 1st down to ice the game and they blew it. Bad play calling IMO. Then they had only 10 players coming off a timeout in the final two Buckeye plays.
Seen the Buckeyes wilt in the 4th quarter before but not last night.
Day really had a tantrum though. Voice was cracking like he was going to cry. " They always pick on my kids."
Ohio st has never been viewed as a "tough" team aside from maybe "the youngstown boys". They want to be seen as tough etc no one sees them as that. Nothing scary about them. Day's voice after that game symbolizes ohio state football.I mean Lou is not wrong. And ND was on the verge of doing exactly that, if not for some questionable play call.
For day to get up there and call someone out by name in a post game interview shows that he’s feeling the pressure.
