Ohio State HC Ryan Day takes responsibility for Buckeyes not being ready for CFP vs. Miami

Ohio State Football head coach Ryan Day took responsibility after the Buckeyes fell 24–14 to the Miami Hurricanes in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Cotton Bowl. Day acknowledged Ohio State was not properly prepared and said the loss ultimately fell on him. The Hurricanes built a 14–0 halftime lead behind a strong defensive effort and steady quarterback play from Carson Beck, while the Buckeyes struggled to find offensive rhythm and committed costly turnovers. The defeat ended Ohio State’s season and its hopes of repeating as national champions.

FOX College Football took to its X (formerly known as Twitter), sharing video of Day addressing the loss.
