- Ryan Day had an 'inkling' OSU would lose comms vs. Michigan
Ryan Day said he had an "inkling" that Ohio State could be without headset communication during their matchup at Michigan on Nov. 29.
"I was in here on Friday, and I think some of the guys and the staff were looking at me sideways. Like, 'Why would you just think that would happen?' " Day said. "I don't know. We've just got to be ready and be ready for anything."

At the start of the fourth quarter of their 27-9 victory , the Buckeyes ' lost connection to their headset communication devices, forcing the quarterback Julian Sayin to find Day on the sideline to get the next play before each snap.
While they had to wait a while for the connection to return, the stretch without communication failed to rattle the Buckeyes, as they controlled the ball for 12:56 in the fourth quarter.
"We had a plan for it," Day said. "We had a wristband plan, and then we could bring Julian (Sayin) over, and I was, you know, just getting us through it until we got the headsets back up and running."
Ohio State coach Ryan Day temporarily lost the ability to relay plays through the Buckeyes' headsets during a 27-9 win over Michigan.
When Day addressed why the Buckeyes had this contingency plan for Ann Arbor, he stated it was just because they were going into a "big game." However, the Ohio State coach finished his explanation with a cheeky wink.

"It's funny how your mind works," Day said.
