Ryan Day is in his second season as head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes. He guided the Buckeyes to a 13-1 season in 2019, his initial season as a head coach. His team was dominant: winning 13 consecutive games by an average of over 36 points per game while ranking in the Top 5 of 12 major NCAA statisti-cal categories. He has guided the Buckeyes to a 6-0 record in this pandemic-shortened 2020 season and now has a career record of 22-1 overall and a 15-0 mark against the Big Ten Conference. Day is the first Ohio State coach in 40 years to be named Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year, and he earned the honor in 2019 by coaching, developing and leading one of the best teams ever in school history. His 2019 Buckeyes became the first Big Ten team ever to win three consecutive outright Big Ten titles and the team advanced to the College Football Playoffs for the third time in the six-year playoff history. Day’s 13 victories in 2019 are tied for the most by a first-year FBS head coach and he is the first coach to win 13 games without the benefit of a bowl victory. The Buckeyes were ranked among the nation’s Top 5 in 14 of 16 weeks. Individually in 2019, Day coached a third

consecutive Big Ten Quarterback of the Year (Justin Fields) and his program featured the first 2,000-yard running back in school history (J.K. Dobbins), two Heisman Trophy finalists (Fields and Chase Young) – only the sixth time this has been accomplished – and four first-team All-Americans (Wyatt Davis, Dobbins, Jeff Okudah and Young). He was considered for virtually every national coach of the year honor and was named the first-year Coach of the Year by the Football Writers Association of America. In 2020, Fields was named Big Ten Quarterback and Offensive Player of the Year, giving Day four consecutive years with the Big Ten’s top quarterback. Day is a native of Manchester, N.H. He was a three-year starting quarterback at New Hampshire when Chip Kelly was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He was a team captain as a senior and earned his degree in business administration in 2002. He has a master’s in administrative studies from Boston College (2004). Day, and his wife, Christina, who uses the nickname “Nina,” have three children: Ryan Jr. or “RJ”, Grace and Ourania or “Nia”.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – In the first meeting between coaching legends Woody Hayes and Paul “Bear” Bryant of Alabama, the Crimson Tide made a pitch for the national championship with a convincing per-formance. It also marked OSU’s first appearance in the Sugar Bowl. Alabama’s Jeff Rutledge was the game’s most valuable player. Rutledge was good on eight of 11 passing attempts for 109 yards, including scoring strikes of 27 yards to Bruce Bolton and a 3-yarder to Rick Neal to stake the Tide to a 21-0 lead in the third quarter. Alabama rolled up 389 yards in total offense, 286 on the ground. Ohio State was limited to 263 yards, and gave up the ball three times on interceptions. The lone Buckeye score was a 38-yard Rod Gerald to Jim Harrell pass which capped an 85-yard drive. The Buckeyes’ defense did cause 10 Crimson Tide fumbles on the day, but Alabama lost only two of the miscues.

The Buckeyes finished the game with 118 yards on the ground and 207 total yards. Pepe Pearson led Ohio State with 60 yards rushing and Joe Germaine threw for 173 yards.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – Ohio State capped off an 11-1 season with a convincing win over Texas A&M. The Buckeyes took control early, jumping to a 21-7 first-quarter lead. The Aggies scored on their first possession, driving 59 yards with Dante Hall going in from 9 yards out. Joe Germaine then engineered an eight-play, 71-yard scoring drive. Following a defensive stop, the Buckeyes marched down the field again, using six plays to go 71 yards with Joe Montgomery’s 10-yard touchdown run for a 14-7 lead. Another defensive stop followed by a huge special teams play gave OSU a 21-7 advantage with just 1:59 to go in the first quarter. After Derek Ross streaked in to literally “take” the football off A&M punter Shane Leckler’s foot, Kevin Griffin picked up the loose ball and went untouched into the end zone.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Clemson won their 10th consecutive game and 11th overall by holding off Ohio State in Woody Hayes’ last game as head coach. After Bob Atha gave Ohio State an early 3-0 lead with a 27-yard field goal, Clemson’s Steve Fuller directed the Tigers on an 80-yard, seven-minute drive. Fuller passed for 25 yards and ran for 36, including a scoring jaunt of 4 yards, in the drive. Freshman Art Schlichter answered with a 78-yard drive, scoring himself from 4 yards away. Vlade Janakievski’s extra point was blocked, but OSU had a 9-7 lead. Clemson scored the next 10 points before Schlichter tallied again at the end of an 88-yard march with 8:11 left in the game. His two-point conversion run was stopped short of the goal line. OSU got a chance at victory when Tim Sawicki covered a Fuller fumble on the Clemson 24 with 4:22 remaining. But on third-and-five at the 24, the Tigers’ Charlie Bauman stepped in front of a Schlichter pass intended for Ron Springs.

MIAMI, Fla. – Clemson edged Ohio State in a back-and-forth shootout. The Buckeyes totaled 27 first downs and 427 yards, and they had a six-minute edge in possession, but twice as many turnovers. The Buck-eyes rallied from a 20-9 deficit and scored 20 consecutive points before a flurry of turnovers. After Clemson took the lead for good with 6 minutes left, Ohio State had two chances to rally, but turnovers on the team’s last two possessions - sandwiched around a C.J. Barnett interception - ended chances for a win.
