Ryan Day heaps praise on Carnell Tate after two TD performance against Northwestern in Chicago homecoming
Ohio State was victorious on Saturday inside Wrigley Field, defeating the Northwestern Wildcats in Week 12 to advance to 9-1 on the season.
After the game, Ryan Day spoke with Brooke Fletcher on the Big Ten Network regarding the win, and what lays ahead for the Buckeyes in the coming weeks.
“I thought (Northwestern) did a nice job in the first quarter, kind of controlling the game, and then, I thought again, like we talked about, we got the turnover on special teams, and then we sort of controlled, you know, the second quarter, third quarter. Would like us like to see us finish that fourth quarter out a little bit better, but I think it felt like we did all we had to do,” Day stated.
“Great to see Buckeye Nation here at Wrigley Field. I thought it was an unbelievable crowd today, supporting our team, so that gave us a bunch of juice, and now it’s on to the next week. … What we’re looking for is consistency. It doesn’t matter (who) our opponent (is). It’s about us. It’ll be that way from here on out.”

Moreover, Saturday was a big game for Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate. The Chicago native returned home to play in front of his family and friends at Wrigley Field, and he showed out, catching four passes for 52 yards and two touchdowns. It was a performance Day was proud of when it was all said and done.
“Carnell has been through a lot. I’ve just got so much respect for him, coming back to Chicago, getting a touchdown in front of, you know, his family, in his hometown,” Day added. “I just, you know, he is a special young man. He’s got a lot of talent, and has been through a lot. He would never — never brings (it) to the table. We say all the time, the game doesn’t care, but we do, and we care a lot.”
Perhaps Ryan Day and Ohio State can carry their momentum from Saturday’s game into the next couple of weeks. That would be a positive turn of events for the Buckeyes, as it’s officially put-up-or-shut-up time, with Indiana and Michigan on the docket.
