More than nine months since playing an actual game, Ohio State and head coach Ryan Day sit just three sunrises away from the much-anticipated 2020 season opener.
At one point, it seemed the fall season would be lost altogether but Day and Nebraska head coach Scott Frost, among others, pushed the Big Ten to reconsider its decision to postpone action until least January. Now, the two coaches are set to do battle on Saturday in Ohio Stadium.
A friendship already existed between the two but keeping in touch during the turbulent period of wondering whether or not there'd be a season brought them even closer.
