Saturday night’s audience is crushing Ohio State head coach Ryan Day for his play-call on what would’ve been a crucial fourth-down conversion.
Day decided to go for a fourth-and-1 on the 42. But instead of trying to pick up the yard on the ground, he elected Stroud drop back and pass. Something that many questioned in the moment.
Ryan Day takes a risk and goes for it on 4th-and-1 at the 42-yard line, and C.J. Stroud’s pass intended to Marvin Harrison Jr. falls incomplete. Maryland gets the ball back near midfield down by only three points with 6:36 to play.

“1yd vs MARYLAND and you don’t run inside???” an OSU fan asked. “This is not a title contender.”

Ohio State is up three with just under two minutes to go. We’ll see if Day’s call comes back to bite him in the end.
