COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State's Ryan Day said he's felt as if he's "drinking through a fire hose" at times since taking over as acting coach four weeks ago, but he believes the Buckeyes have gotten stronger as a team during training camp.
Day said he has leaned on the deep experience of Ohio State's coaching staff in a "whirlwind" of a month, the 39-year old's first go-round as the head of a college football program. When Urban Meyer was placed on leave, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith named Day the acting coach on Aug. 1 ahead of two other assistants -- Greg Schiano and Kevin Wilson -- with extensive head-coaching experience.
