Ohio State head coach Ryan Day faced criticism after suffering four consecutive losses against rival Michigan, but following a victorious performance that ended that streak, former Michigan star Taylor Lewan is ready to acknowledge Day’s coaching abilities. On a recent episode of his podcast, Bussin’ with the Boys, Lewan expressed regret over past remarks he made about Day, calling him a poor leader and making disparaging comments.
“I have said a lot of nasty things,” Lewan admitted. After witnessing Ohio State’s impressive performance against Michigan, he acknowledged Day’s efforts and leadership. “You truly beat our a– and you did it with humility,” Lewan conceded, highlighting the importance of humility in sportsmanship. He formally apologized to Day, reflecting on how the Buckeyes have rebounded impressively over the past year, finishing 16-0 since last year’s loss to Michigan.
Day graciously accepted Lewan’s apology, praising the talent and resilience of his players as key to their success. He emphasized that their journey has been marked by life lessons learned from the ups and downs of competition. “This is life, right? This is the world we live in,” he said, while also looking ahead to the upcoming game against Indiana. The Buckeyes are not just focused on this game; they have secured a spot in the College Football Playoff and are poised to enter the tournament as a potential top seed.
The team has a significant match ahead, known as the “Game of the Century,” as they prepare to take on Indiana. Fans are eager to see if Ohio State can continue their winning momentum and advance deep into the playoffs. With renewed confidence and solid coaching, the Buckeyes appear well-equipped to face the challenges that lie ahead.
