"It was a pretty cool moment," Ryan Day said when asked about that moment in Monday's press conference.
Before becoming Ohio State's football coach, Ryan Day was New Hampshire's 1996 Gatorade Player of the Year before signing with New Hampshire in 1997. Under offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, Day was a three-year starting quarterback, setting records in pass completions (653), touchdown passes (53) completion percentage (59.9%) and total offense (8,492 yards).
