Ryan Day hasn’t proven to be a real mic-drop head coach during his tenure with Ohio State. He is leading one of the best college football programs in the country but isn’t the most outspoken coach.
However, he recently joined The Pat McAfee Show as the Buckeyes are set to face the No. 5-ranked Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday.
With ESPN’s College Gameday in Columbus, this game is the premier college football game on the weekend slate. Let’s just say Day gave quite the headline-producing last line.
Ryan Day was on @PatMcAfeeShow before Ohio State’s top-five matchup with Indiana. He had quite the walk-off quote to end his appearance.
Pat McAfee: “This Hoosiers team is the real deal.”

“Coach, thanks so much for making time for us. Good luck tomorrow. This Hoosiers team is the real deal,” McAfee said.
However, Day got the last life. He said, “So are we.”
Boom!
Day knows that the Hoosiers are getting quite a bit of love heading into this battle, but there’s also the conversation about who they’ve really beaten this season. Nonetheless, it should be a thrilling battle.
That said, the Buckeyes have a road win over top-ten Penn State on their resume and have proven they are the real deal. Even the one-point win on the road over the No. 1-ranked Oregon Ducks was an impressive outing.
Nonetheless, all parties know that talk is just that, and on Saturday at noon ET we’ll see what the Hoosiers (and the Buckeyes for that matter) are made of.
