The decisions that a college football coach makes in big moments can swing the results of a game or a season. A decision to punt, kick a field goal, or go for it on fourth down can impact which team wins a championship, and set off decades of arguments in living rooms across the nation.
This week, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said that the Buckeyes have employed an advanced analytics firm to break down the best decisions in a number of crucial situations. But what kind of information are they providing him, and are their version of idealized results more aggressive or more conservative than Day typically is?
In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Day about that and much more. Plus, the always outspoken Denzel Burke shares his thoughts on the targeting penalty that cost him more than half of the Western Michigan game, as well as the quality of Ohio State's nonconference schedule, and more.
