Ohio State coach Ryan Day stayed far away from directly addressing Desmond Howard's Heisman ceremony dig during Wednesday's signing day press conference.
During Saturday's Heisman ceremony, Howard responded to Tim Tebow asking Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett to “please stay there” on stage between Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson and Buckeyes quarterback C.J. Stroud. with a joke at Ohio State's expense.
“Better than his [Stroud's] offensive linemen,” Howard said, which was met with an awkward reaction from the Heisman ceremony crowd.
On Wednesday, when asked if there was anything said during the ceremony that he took offense to, Day instead chose to highlight the positive Heisman ceremony experience for Stroud and his family.
