Ryan Day Says Ohio State Had "One Heck of a Win" Against Wisconsin, Hopes Jaxon Smith-Njigba Can Return to Action Next Week

Wisconsin could never get back into Saturday's Big Ten opener against Ohio State following a 21-point first quarter from the Buckeyes.

The scarlet and gray got off to an explosive start on both sides of the ball and it lifted Ohio State to a blowout win in its first matchup against a conference opponent this season. The Buckeyes finished with 539 total yards of offense by the end of the 52-21 victory.

Following another dominant effort, Buckeye head coach Ryan Day, quarterback C.J. Stroud and offensive guard Donovan Jackson reviewed Ohio State's Week 4 win during their postgame press conference, and you can check out our notes on everything they said about the game below:
