The Ohio State Buckeyes dropped the ball in a big way during the Cotton Bowl Classic, losing 24-14 to the Miami Hurricanes in the first game OSU was shut out in the first half since the Urban Meyer era.
Ryan Day was to blame. Not solely, but primarily. As The Athletic's Cameron Teague Robinson noted, Day promised an up-tempo offense when it was necessary. Yet, despite a 14-0 halftime deficit, Day didn't deliver it.
"Ohio State did make some good adjustments in the second half. Bringing in Padilla helped the offense, and Sayin looked more comfortable with what he was seeing against the Hurricanes.
