After setback, Buckeyes aim to unleash hell in return to battle
COLUMBUS — Ohio State is back in the football practice facility and ready to get back on the field after a week of pause, a cancelled game and uncertainty.
But when the Buckeyes travel to Michigan State for their final regular-season road trip of the year, they won’t have their leader to lead them into battle. Ohio State coach Ryan Day won’t make the trip to East Lansing this weekend with the team after his positive COVID-19 test.
“I’m resting comfortably,†Day said last week on a Zoom call with reporters after he tested positive for the virus. “I have an extremely heavy heart, though. The sacrifices have been made by so many, and the anxiety over months and months and months of every day getting test results back to make sure that the entire program is safe. Then to experience it this week, Thanksgiving week? I can’t sit here and tell you anything other than it’s really, really hard.
“But like I told the team, it’s just another opportunity to get through some adversity, work through adversity and learn more about yourselves. That’s the only way that I can describe and put a positive spin on it right now because is isn’t fun.â€
