Ryan Day has unhinged postgame interview after Notre Dame game
Some people win with grace, and then there’s Ryan Day.
The Ohio State head coach decided that after his team scored the game-winning touchdown with a second remaining to go on the offensive, launching all of his negative energy at former Notre Dame iconic head coach Lou Holtz. But it appears Day had something else on his mind.
As Day vehemently denounced Holtz, he said his team is in fact tough and physical before noting they’ve had one bad half in the past few years. Well, you can guess which one he’s talking about — or, which one of two.
Since Michigan football beat Ohio State the past two years, Day has had something of a personality crisis. After being out-physicaled by the Wolverines in 2021, he tried to prove in 2022 that the glitch was fixed. But Michigan did it again in the second half of 2022.
Here’s Day’s full postgame interview:

Ryan Day is projecting. Just because Michigan bullies you every year no reason to lash out

If that Ryan Day interview went any longer, the next thing he would have said was “I told you guys I wasn’t born on 3rd base.”

Wasn’t sure if Michigan was in OSU’s heads until 30 seconds ago.
