Ryan Day discusses Ohio State run game improvement, special teams struggles

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day highlighted the team's improved run game and run defense after their 35-14 victory over Iowa. The Buckeyes gained 160 rushing yards, with standout performances from Ja’Kobi Jackson and Bo Jackson. However, Day expressed concerns about the special teams unit, noting missed field goal attempts and inadequate kick coverage. As Ohio State heads into a matchup against Maryland, Day remains optimistic about continued improvement, particularly if his players can build on recent successes. Junior receiver Jeremiah Smith’s strong performance keeps him leading the nation with 823 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
