Ohio State football is on the fast track to play the Penn State Nittany Lions in a top-five clash next weekend at University Park. However, it wasn’t a linear path for the OSU Buckeyes, as they had to battle against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday despite being a 26-point favorite. Midway through the fourth quarter, Ohio State trailed before quarterback Will Howard found running back Quinshon Judkins for a go-ahead nine-yard touchdown strike. Nebraska would have two more opportunities to tie or take the lead but came up empty in an eventual 21-17 Buckeyes win.
Despite the victory against a formidable conference foe, Ohio State football fans offered little congratulations to head coach Ryan Day. Following the win, Day moved to 44-0 against unranked teams.
Fans Bash Ohio State Football HC Ryan Day
According to the official Twitter page of Ohio State Football:
No. 4 Ohio State Stages Late Comeback, Defeats Nebraska 21-17.
On Saturday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers put a scare into Ohio State football, holding the lead late in the fourth quarter before the Buckeyes stagged a comeback. In the final moments, defender Reese Arvell fell victim to a controversial targeting call, setting Nebraska up at midfield. Fortunately for the Buckeyes, poor play-calling on behalf of Nebraska concluded with an interception by quarterback Dylan Raiola.
After a bye week and a loss, Ohio State football fans were unhappy with Saturday’s result, albeit a win. Many dropped the blame on head coach Ryan Day’s feet, bashing him for the lack of fire the team played with for the majority of the game. Next Saturday, they will visit a top-five-ranked Penn State squad. Day is notably 2-6 against top-five opponents and 7-8 against teams within the top ten:

This performance off a loss and a bye week makes me sick to my stomach. Ryan Day is embarrassing this football program.

It’s getting pretty hard to defend Ryan Day

Thankfully, we have the guy who have Jimbo Fisher a billion dollars at Texas A&M in charge of this hire whenever they eventually get rid of Ryan Day. pic.twitter.com/vKYib4zjVt
