Conservative might not be the word to describe Ohio State's game plan against Washington. Methodical seems more accurate.
That's how Ryan Day sees it, anyway. The Buckeyes had only six possessions where they were worried about scoring points against the Huskies and managed three touchdowns with one field goal. They took things slow, ran the football and trusted their defense to carry them to a comfortable win. Which it did.
Day said that execution and ball control were Ohio State's top priorities in a hostile road environment, for that reason, in his weekly appearance on 97.1 the Fan's Buckeye Roundtable show Monday.
