Emeka Egbuka said he 'fully supports' Ryan Day's comments following the team's win over Notre Dame, while Kyle McCord added the team knows he 'has our back.'
When Ryan Day fired back at Lou Holtz over comments the former Notre Dame head coach made questioning Ohio State’s physicality in big games, he stated it came from a place of love for his team.
On Wednesday, that’s a love Ohio State’s players said they felt. They didn't need to see their coach have an emotional outpour on national television to know that he cares for them, but they stand behind Day’s emotions and the things he said. McCord felt the authenticity in Day’s comments. He wanted to make it known that the feeling was mutual, and given the chance he and his teammates would go to bat for Day in the same way.
Ohio State linebacker Cody Simon didn’t give his thoughts on Day’s reaction specifically, but like Egbuka and McCord, he thought it was another expression of the love his coach has for his players.
