Following Ohio State's 34-10 win over Purdue, Ryan Day met with the media to discuss the Buckeyes' performance, which he said showed the team's growing maturity but also where it needs to improve down the stretch.
Day provided updates on injuries to Carnell Tate, Phillip Daniels, and Josh Padilla, noting that their absences gave Ohio State's coaches a chance to assess depth at critical positions. He also talked about the Buckeyes' commitment to establishing the run against the Boilermakers, as well as the play of Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith.
- On Carnell Tate not playing against Purdue: “Carnell, we felt like he was gonna be OK to play, but when he went through warmups, he just felt something there, so we just wanted to be really careful.
