But Schiano, clearly not enthused that Ohio State had run a fake punt on his team, also had a few choice words for Day, who jawed right back at him.<\/p>\n<p>Schiano and Day both drew unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.  Cruickshanks was ejected from the game and will have to miss the first half of Rutgers&#8217; home game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Friday night.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>After the game, Day, who apologized to Schiano for the play during a postgame handshake, insisted that he didn&#8217;t call the fake and that Mirco had decided to run on his own.<\/p>\n<p>Both coaches downplayed the confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne coach defending their side, one coach defending their [side].  No hard feelings,\u201d Day said.  \u201cI told him that after the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schiano also said after the game he has the \u201cutmost respect\u201d and is still \u201cfriends\u201d with Day, agreeing that both coaches were just defending their respective players<\/p>\n<p>When Meyer retired at the end of the 2018 season, Day was named head coach.  In February 2019, it was announced that Schiano would not return to Ohio State and, in December of that year, he was named the head coach at Rutgers.<\/p>\n<p>As for the game, Miyan Williams carried the load for Ohio State, rushing for a career-high 189 yards and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Williams got the opportunity for a career-high 21 carries when TreVeyon Henderson became a late scratch because of an unspecified injury.  Williams, a third-year back, exploded for a 70-yard TD romp in the third quarter and also had four short scoring plunges.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><figcaption>Greg Schiano got into a yelling match with Ryan Day after Ohio State pulled off a fake punt in the fourth quarter of the Buckeyes&#8217; 49-10 blowout win over Rutgers. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rutgers jumped out a 7-0 lead after Ohio State&#8217;s Emeka Egbuka fumbled a punt return after the opening drive.
