Forty-seven yards didn't influence Ohio State's outcome against FCS Grambling State this past Saturday, but that lost yardage could impact results when talent is more equated.
That's the yardage that Ryan Day says Ohio State lost to punts it didn't field against Grambling State. Tigers punter Johnny Schifano gave the Buckeyes plenty of data on punt return, given he booted the ball away seven times as his offense was shut out, and three were downed inside the Buckeyes' 20-yard line as four of them went unfielded.
"That's an area, coming out of the game, that we've gotta improve on for sure," Day said.
