  • last year
Ryan Day had some words for Lou Holtz after Ohio States 17-14 win over Notre Dame on Saturday.
Transcript
00:00 The expectation's always high for Ohio State.
00:02 They were met, of course, against Notre Dame with Ryan
00:05 Day talking about wanting to meet Lou Holtz afterwards
00:09 on the recess yard or something.
00:11 He was not happy with what was said about his team.
00:14 What did you make of his post-game comment?
00:16 Lou Holtz basically saying that Ohio State isn't
00:18 a physical team and that he didn't think they
00:20 were going to beat Notre Dame.
00:21 Obviously, Ryan Day took issue with that.
00:23 But the best way to silence your haters is to win a game.
00:27 And obviously, Ohio State did that on Saturday.
00:29 I loved Ryan Day's comments.
00:31 I loved the smack talk.
00:32 This is why we love college football
00:33 and why we love sports.
00:35 Yeah, Lou Holtz's newspaper delivery
00:37 must have hit different the next day when he saw those quotes.
00:40 Right?
00:40 He's an old guy.
00:42 Maybe it's a little bit of an easy target for Ryan Day.
00:46 But how many times have we seen this in sports?
00:48 I mean, look, we saw it with Dan Lanning.
00:50 We just talked about it against Colorado,
00:52 using the attention Colorado has gotten as fuel.
00:56 We see teams like Georgia, I remember,
00:58 saying they were counted out when they
01:00 were the favorite in every game.
01:02 In this case, it's a bit of motivation.
01:05 It's a bit of a rallying cry for future recruits to say,
01:08 I got your back.
01:09 This is how we do things at Ohio State.
01:12 And I think that was the point for Ryan Day.
01:14 And he also said, we're proud to be from Ohio.
01:16 That was my favorite line from the week.
01:18 Let haters be your motivators, Robin.
01:21 (upbeat music)
