Ryan Day Reconsiders Final Call in Ohio State’s Crushing Texas Loss | Tim May Show

by | Sep 15, 2026 | Ohio, Tim May Show | 0 comments

Ryan Day is still dissecting Ohio State’s 24-23 loss to Texas — and now he admits he would handle the final minute differently. Three days after the Buckeyes blew a 20-point fourth-quarter lead in Austin, Day said that, knowing what he knows now, he would have allowed Texas to score and given Ohio State’s offense a chance to answer rather than betting on a goal-line stand.

On this episode of The Tim May Show, Tim breaks down Day’s comments, the thinking behind the controversial late-game decision and what the loss means for Ohio State moving forward.

Texas erased a 23-3 fourth-quarter deficit and won on a 1-yard Hollywood Smothers touchdown with 25 seconds remaining. Julian Sayin threw for 278 yards, while Jeremiah Smith finished with eight catches for 164 yards and a touchdown in the loss.

The Buckeyes now have to turn the page quickly. Ohio State hosts Kent State on Saturday, giving Ryan Day and his team an opportunity to address the mistakes from Austin and reset before the schedule gets tougher.
