Ryan Day's message for his team was clear on Wednesday: Focus on what matters.
On the field, Day knows this weekend's battle with UCLA will be about his team executing and taking care of the football. Off the field, Day knows the Buckeyes must continue to avoid distractions and eliminate noise.

The Ohio State head coach also discussed Lincoln Kienholz, Bo Jackson, Jermaine Mathews Jr. and Julian Sayin in his nine-minute press conference. We've included a bullet-point recap of the session below.
