Day was asked how Matt Patricia having faced Peyton and Eli Manning in the NFL prepares him for facing Arch. 

"That has nothing to do with this game or playing Texas."

Kirk Bohls?

Seems like you can read a lot between the lines about how Day thinks this game is going to play out. He expects Texas to come out swinging and Sark will have a strong script. His comments about halftime adjustments being critical and begging the fans to make a difference suggest to me that he thinks Texas might go up in the first half. His comments about surrounding Sayin with talent suggest to me that he isn’t totally sold that Sayin can win them this game. The vibes feel completely different compared with Sark yesterday.

Sayin has been QB1 for about a week. It's hard to be the leader you need to be when you just became the guy. As hard as Quinn tried to be the leader, we seen when Arch got in the game guys played more intentionally, the crowd cheered so loud it could have cracked your TV screen. Being the unquestioned leader of the team sounds like coach speak, but it's important. I'm curious as to what happens if Sayin doesn't play well, will there be a split. The most popular guy in the locker room is QB2.

Dumpster fire….”Sayin going to have find a way to Win”…. Good players this n that “ Ryan Day

Reeks no confidence…Sayin gonna be lucky to not be in ER before he gets pulled!

My take was Day says almost the same thing every press conference and he was not going to put anything out there to motivate Texas.  Quiet confidence in the process and prep is what it is.

Texas is already motivated, Ohio State is the last team to beat them. Nothing any player or coach says or doesn't is going to motivate them more or tame their motivation.

As they should be. OSU knows we are going to get their best shot.  Looking forward to a heckuva a ball game.

That’s what I heard as well.

The halftime adjustment answer tells me that the 3rd quarter is going to be crucial for us.

We need our 3rd quarter woes completely solved.

[Dread-headed Texan]

As I watch the Michigan/Ohio State game I'm so glad we got Baxter and Clark back. I can't wait until we get in short yardage and goal to go situations where we aren't running zone schemes.

If Day & Ohio State throw caution to the wind like the playoff run and get out to a fast start it could be a long day for Texas.  During the regular season last year the Buckeyes started slow and usually turned it up in the 3rd quarter.  Now we have a new OC, but I think Day most likely personally scripted the first 15 plays for Saturday and will be calling the majority of this game with Hartline telling him what coverages he is seeing from up in the Box.

I can tell you what coverages you're going to see. Match 3, Match Quarters, Split Zones, and Man over. Texas runs really simple coverages, but good luck figuring what they're in presnap while trying to figure out if it's a simulated pressure or if they're coming or not, and if they are coming who's coming as a first time starter. Hartline can only help for 15 seconds then comms shut off.

Buddy, you are reading way too much into things Ryan Day says before every big game

No, Day doesn’t do that. He lets his QB learn from his mistake for every games before realizing that a change needs to be made

Ohio State is motivated as well. Despite being the national champions, Texas is the #1 team coming to their house, and not many people think Ohio State will win.
