Curt Cignetti Is 8-1 And His Only Loss Is To Ryan Day
Curt Cignetti's Indiana is 8-1, and the only team to beat the Hoosiers is Ryan Day's Ohio State. After the College Football Playoff committee dropped Indiana from No. 4 to No. 9 during a bye week, Cignetti fired back on social media: "Bad losses don't count anymore? Are first downs still 10 yards?" Zach Smith and Kris Drew break down the fallout, what it says about the committee, and what it means for Ohio State. Ohio State beat Indiana 19-15 on Oct. 17 to snap the Hoosiers' 22-game winning streak. In the second CFP rankings, released Nov. 10, Indiana sits at No. 9, Ohio State is No. 20, and Indiana hosts No. 18 USC on Saturday. In this video: • Cignetti's "bad losses" post and Indiana's five-spot drop on a bye week • Indiana's only loss, to Ohio State, and how the committee is weighing it • Indiana's schedule and wins vs. Ohio State's resume • Indiana vs. USC and what it means for Ohio State Did the committee get Indiana wrong, or is Cignetti missing the point?

Jelani Thurman Left And Keenan Bailey Still Has A Job
Jelani Thurman left Ohio State, and now he's a John Mackey Award semifinalist at North Carolina with 45 catches, 525 yards and 8 touchdowns through nine games. Keenan Bailey, Ohio State's co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, still has his job. Zach Smith and Kris Drew dig into what Thurman's breakout means for Ohio State's tight end development and for Ryan Day's staff. Thurman caught 7 passes for 84 yards in his final season at Ohio State, entered the transfer portal after the Cotton Bowl loss to Miami, and landed at North Carolina under Bill Belichick. This season his 8 touchdowns tie the UNC single-season record for a tight end, and he was named one of nine Mackey Award semifinalists on Nov. 11. In this video: • Why Jelani Thurman left Ohio State, and what he's doing at North Carolina • What Thurman's numbers say about Ohio State's tight end development • Keenan Bailey's role as co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach • What it means for Ryan Day's staff and next year's tight end room Where do you stand? Is this a development problem, a usage problem, or just one player's path? Tell us in the comments.

Chip Kelly Is Back And Ryan Day Won't Talk About It
Chip Kelly returns to Ohio Stadium this Saturday, but as Northwestern's offensive coordinator, and Ryan Day dodged the question of bringing him back to Columbus. Kelly called plays on Day's staff during Ohio State's 2024 national championship run. Now he's on the other sideline against a 6-3 Buckeyes team coming off back-to-back losses to USC and Oregon. Kelly spent a short stint as the Las Vegas Raiders' offensive coordinator in 2025, then joined Northwestern this offseason. This year, Northwestern ranks second nationally in the percentage of plays gaining 10+ yards (27.4%) and has run throwback looks like the wing-T and orbit motion. Asked whether he had considered bringing Kelly back to Ohio State as offensive coordinator, Day dodged the question. Day also called Kelly "a friend, a mentor, an uncle, a brother," and his son RJ is a 2027 Northwestern quarterback commit. Day said he wasn't making more staff changes right now but didn't rule out future ones. Ohio State fired special teams coordinator Robby Discher on Monday, Nov. 9. The game vs Northwestern is Saturday, Nov. 14 at noon ET on FOX. 🔥 In this video: • Why Chip Kelly's return to Ohio Stadium is a bigger story than a normal Northwestern game • Ryan Day's non-answer on bringing Kelly back • What Kelly's Northwestern offense is doing and what it means for Ohio State's defense • Day's staff, Arthur Smith and the pressure heading into Saturday 💬 Should Ryan Day have brought Chip Kelly back?

Boom Herron Says Ryan Day Has To Fire Arthur Smith
Boom Herron wants Ryan Day to fire Arthur Smith, and Ohio State fans are asking the same question. After the Buckeyes' 41-28 loss to Oregon, the former Ohio State running back posted on X: "Coach Day we want Arthur Smith gone by noon today." Noon came and went with Smith still on the staff, and Day has not announced any change to the offense. Ohio State fell to 6-3 with the loss to Oregon on Saturday, Nov. 7. It was the Buckeyes' second straight defeat after a 30-18 loss to USC, and their first back-to-back regular-season losses since 2011. On Monday, Nov. 9, Ohio State fired special teams coordinator Robby Discher, per ESPN. After the Oregon game, Day said he would "evaluate everything," that "it all starts with the staff," and that "there needs to be accountability for all of it." The Athletic reported, per unnamed sources, that Discher's exit could be the first of multiple changes and that further moves may wait until after the regular season. Smith is in his first season as Ohio State's offensive coordinator after coming over from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and true freshman Luke Fahey started at quarterback against Oregon. 🔥 In this video: • Boom Herron's post calling for Arthur Smith to be fired • Why Ohio State's offense has frustrated fans under Smith • What Ryan Day's "accountability" comments could mean for his staff • Whether the Robby Discher firing is the start of more changes • What's next for Ohio State at 6-3 💬 Should Ryan Day fire Arthur Smith now, or wait until the season ends?

Ryan Day Fired Robby Discher To Save Arthur Smith
Ryan Day Fired Robby Discher To Save Arthur Smith | Menace2Sports Ohio State has fired special teams coordinator Robby Discher, reportedly just nine games into his first season, two days after a 41-28 home loss to Oregon. The Buckeyes are 6-3 with their playoff hopes in serious trouble, and Zach Smith and Kris Drew ask what the move says about Ryan Day, the staff and whether Arthur Smith's offense is the bigger problem. CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz first reported the move, and ESPN confirmed it through sources. Ohio State hired Discher in January from Illinois, where he also coached tight ends. His unit had at least one special teams penalty in every game before Oregon, including three at USC, per Yahoo Sports. The Buckeyes allowed a 44-yard punt return in the USC loss and a fake punt against Oregon that kept a drive alive, and ESPN reports Ohio State led 14-3 before Oregon scored 38 unanswered points. After the game Day said he would "evaluate everything," that "the penalties are a killer" and that "it all starts with the staff, and then it goes to the players." The title is Menace2Sports' take: the sources I found don't report that Discher was fired to protect anyone, and Day hasn't publicly explained the decision as of this writing. 🏈 In this video: • Why Ohio State fired Robby Discher after the Oregon loss • Special teams failures at USC and Oregon, including the fake punt • What Ryan Day said: "it all starts with the staff" • Is Arthur Smith's offense the bigger problem, and could he be next? • Ohio State at 6-3: what's left of the playoff path • Zach Smith and Kris Drew's takes on the staff and what Day should do next 💬 Was firing Discher the right move, or is the problem bigger than special teams?

Dan Lanning Scored 38 Straight On Ryan Day
Dan Lanning just handed Ryan Day another brutal loss. Oregon stormed back to beat No. 12 Ohio State 41-28 at Ohio Stadium, scoring 38 unanswered points and leaving the Buckeyes' College Football Playoff hopes on life support. The Ducks, a 23rd-ranked team that was "left for dead" two weeks earlier after a loss to Illinois, flipped the game with 17 points in the second quarter and never let up. A goal-line tush push and a key interception swung the momentum, and Oregon quarterback Dylan Raiola led the offense in front of a capacity crowd of 103,551. Lanning summed up his team after the game: "We're like cockroaches. We won't die." Ohio State fell to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Big Ten, its second straight loss after falling at USC. In this video, we break down: • How Oregon scored 38 straight points on Ohio State • The coaching adjustments Dan Lanning made and where Ryan Day's staff had no answers • The goal-line sequence and turnover that flipped the game • What back-to-back losses mean for Ohio State's College Football Playoff chances • Whether Ryan Day can still save the season with Michigan looming Is this the end of Ohio State's playoff run, or is there still a path?

Day said "there's things to build on there for sure," and added "we've got to do a better job around him, helping him out as a young player."

Linebacker Payton Pierce said, "It's pretty much playoff time now for us, because we can't lose." Ohio State is coming off its first game without quarterback Julian Sayin, who is out indefinitely, and true freshman Luke Fahey started at USC. Oregon is 5-3 and ranked 23rd.
