Things went according to plan for the Buckeyes in Saturday’s blowout win over Rutgers. <\/p>\n
\n
\tWell, not exactly, as high-profile Ohio State starters like TreVeyon Henderson and Tanner McCalister experienced health issues during (or immediately before) the game. But the Buckeyes’ 49-10 victory gave Ryan Day and company plenty to be pleased about nonetheless.\n<\/p>\n
\tDay addressed several injuries, Miyan Williams’ record-tying performance and CJ Stroud’s relatively subpar effort \u2013 among other things \u2013 in his postgame press conference appearance. Here are notes on everything the Buckeye head coach said after the game.\n<\/p>\n
\tFollowing Day, Stroud and Williams spoke at the podium in the Buckeyes’ postgame interview room, and we have notes on everything they said as well.\n<\/p>\n
\n
\tRyan Day \n<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\t\tDay says “we feel” the crowd at games like this one, and thanks the people that put everything together, from maintenance staff and the athletics department and everything in between.\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tOn the dust-up with Greg Schiano: “(Jesse Mirco) just saw it and took it. … No hard feelings at all. Told him that after the game. Have an unbelievable amount of respect for him.”\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tOn CJ Stroud’s struggles: “Overall I thought it was a job well done.”\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tDay says the Buckeyes expected Henderson to play on Saturday, and were surprised to see his injury linger from last week.\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tOn Miyan Williams: “He was tough down there in the end zone. Miyan had a really good day for us.”\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tOn the success of Tommy Eichenberg and Steele Chambers: “You can flash when you’re athletic, but it’s the diagnosing plays and figuring out how teams are coming after you.”\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tOn McCalister’s health: “I don’t really have much of an update right now on Tanner.” Day says the Buckeyes are trying to get Cam Brown back as soon as possible. “At the end of the day, I’m kind of out of it. I trust the guys and they do a great job.”\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tDay says he talked to Mirco about running the ball afterward and that he said “no one was on me” when he rolled out to the right to punt the ball. Day says he told him “we’ll talk about that tomorrow.”\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tDay says “I’m not gonna bite on that” when asked again about the Schiano confrontation, and says he and Schiano were just defending their respective players.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\tQB CJ Stroud \n<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\t\tStroud says Miyan Williams is \u201cone of my best friends on the entire team\u201d and that he was happy to see the breakout success he had on Saturday.\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\t\u201cWe are pretty dynamic on the outside and I think we do a great job on the inside protecting.\u201d Stroud says \u201cif we can run the ball like that,\u201d it will be a \u201crecipe for success.\u201d\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tStroud says \u201cI gotta be smarter\u201d on the interception, and says he was trying to \u201cdo too much\u201d when he threw the ball into triple coverage. \u201cI’m never gonna put the team at risk. \u2026 I know for a fact I can fit that ball in there.\u201d Stroud says it’s a \u201clearning point\u201d and that the Buckeyes are going to \u201ccontinue to be great.\u201d\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\t\u201cI’ve built a good chemistry with everybody,\u201d and Stroud says the Buckeye pass offense is usually so good that people think something’s wrong when it doesn’t put up massive numbers. \u201cWe only didn’t score on one drive. That’s a very efficient day.\u201d\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tStroud says \u201cI’m not playing for personal stats\u201d and that \u201cit’s not about me.\u201d Stroud says \u201cjust being smart\u201d and trying to win are his main goals. He says \u201cI could really care less\u201d if he throws for a lot of yards or not.\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tThe breeze outside was \u201cnothing,\u201d Stroud says.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\tRB Miyan Williams \n<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\t\tWilliams says he didn’t know he was approaching a record until afterward.\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tHe shouts out the Buckeye offensive line, receivers and tight ends and says \u201cit was a blessing\u201d to have such a performance.\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tWilliams says after the first touchdown he realized he might be able to have a good game, and told the offensive line to keep it rolling.\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tWilliams found out Henderson wasn’t going to play right before the game.\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tOn tying Pete Johnson and Keith Byars’ single-game touchdown records: \u201cIt’s a blessing to be up with those names. Those are legends.\u201d\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tWilliams says he told himself \u201cdon’t get caught\u201d on his 70-yard TD. \u201cIt’s a blessing to break one.\u201d\n\t<\/li>\n
\n
\t\tWilliams says the most TDs he scored in high school was six. \u201cI never would’ve thought I would’ve had a game like this\u201d in college.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
