RYAN DAY KEPT it together, because that's what he does. There would be no outbursts or regrettable lines on this day.
But the Ohio State head coach didn't run from his emotions, either. "Sad, angry, frustrated, all of the above," Day said Aug. 12 about the previous day's decision by the Big Ten to cancel the fall season because of concerns around the coronavirus pandemic. He described the 2020 Buckeyes as a "once-in-a-lifetime" team and said it was "devastating" not to see that team take the field.
He looked five months ahead to early January, contending the only way the Big Ten could salvage a football season was by starting right after the new year rather than the spring.
