Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is making sure his team and fans are locked in well before kickoff. With a high-stakes matchup against Steve Sarkisian’s Texas Longhorns on the horizon, Day is leaving no room for complacency. It’s no secret the Buckeyes have a tough start ahead, and their head coach isn’t letting anyone take this lightly or save their intensity for the last minute.
