Year One of the Ryan Day era saw the offensive guru from New Hampshire lead Ohio State to 13 straight wins before everything that could possibly go wrong did in a 29-23 loss to Clemson in a College Football Playoff semifinal.
Despite the backbreaking loss to Dabo Swinney and company, Day's first year as Ohio State's permanent head coach has fans thinking a national championship is very much in play this season, provided the coronavirus pandemic allows for games to be played.
Day's precision playcalling, ability to attract and retain top-flight assistant coaches and keep the recruiting momentum established during Urban Meyer's tenure is nothing short of phenomenal.
