Winning 11 games is considered a successful season most places in the college football world. Ohio State is not one of those places.
The Buckeyes boast the largest fan base in the country, and great expectations come with that support.
Even though Ohio State went 11–2 this season, you would be hard pressed to find a Buckeyes fan who’s pleased with that result. That’s because Ohio State suffered a third consecutive loss to archrival Michigan on Nov. 25 and then sputtered its way to a 14–3 Cotton Bowl defeat against Missouri on Friday night.
Ryan Day is 56–8 as head coach of the Buckeyes, but he’s on the hot seat in the minds of some fans and observers. So it shouldn’t be a total shock that “Fire Day” was trending on X, formerly Twitter, mere minutes after the end of Friday’s game.
