Ryan Day said he's 'never been around conditions' like there were in Evanston on Saturday and is proud his team battled through adversity to beat Northwestern.
Ohio State needed all four quarters to beat Northwestern, 21-7, in a wet and windy environment in Evanston on Saturday.
Day said Ohio State's defense"played strong" against Northwestern's offense."There was a point in the game where the defense had a lot of energy and you could feel the field flipping." He added that Ohio State"took the wind" in the second half to help the defense. Day said the defense had"a job well done" because they kept the Wildcats out of the end zone."At the end of the day, it's about scoring points," which the Buckeyes kept Northwestern from doing on Saturday.
On Stroud running the ball, Day said"we gotta be smart when we put him in those situations." However,"when the time was right to do it today, he did it," which Day believes was a significant advantage for Ohio State – primarily because Northwestern was not expecting Stroud to be a threat running the ball.
