Ryan Day didn't hold back in his postgame interview on NBC, sounding off on Lou Holtz and others who doubted the Buckeyes' toughness in big games.
"I'd like to know where Lou Holtz is right now," Day said."What he said about our team, what he said about our team – I cannot believe. This is a tough team right here. We're proud to be from Ohio. It's always been Ohio against the world, and it will continue to be Ohio against the world. But I'll tell you what. I love those kids. We have a tough team."
"Toughness. Toughness," Day said."Everybody questions these kids all the time. We had one bad half in the last couple of years. That's it. Everybody wants to question these guys. These guys are warriors right here. To come back here and win. For this kid to come back in the second half. I am emotional about this for a reason.
In his postgame press conference, Day shared that he and his players don't often listen to"outside noise," regardless of whether it's positive or negative. Still, Day believes there are times when that noise can be used – and should be used – as motivation to send a message with performance on the field.
He also used the additional media opportunity to further comment on Holtz's remarks from earlier this week.
