Ryan Day Says Ohio State Defense Had "Gutsy" Performance, Failed Attempt to Convert on Fourth-Down Punt Was Not a Called Fake

It was a clunky conference road win for Ohio State on Saturday.

Rutgers settled for field goals in the red zone three times and threw a 93-yard pick-six from 3 yards outside it as Ohio State trailed at halftime in a game that was still within one score for several minutes during the fourth quarter. Still, the Buckeyes covered an 18.5-point spread and won 35-16 in Piscataway.

Following the contest, Ryan Day spoke with the media on the performance of the team's defense, running back TreVeyon Henderson and an odd first-half punt that looked like a fake but wasn't, according to the coach.
