Ryan Day assesses Ohio State QB depth, hints at offensive staff changes after Cotton Bowl loss to Missouri

The Buckeyes coach got honest about his offseason plans after the 14-3 loss to the Tigers.

Ohio State capped the 2023 season Friday night with a 14-3 loss to Missouri in the Cotton Bowl. Sophomore quarterback Devin Brown started the game but was lost to a high-ankle sprain after six pass attempts. His early departure makes it harder for the Buckeyes to evaluate the position going into the offseason, and head coach Ryan Day admitted being “disappointed” in not finding out more about his quarterback situation moving forward.

“Devin wanted to play in this game worse than anybody,” Day said after the game. “This is not what we were expecting coming out of the game. We don’t have a game to look at, go through and evaluate. We know what we see in practice. It’s certainly different when you play in the game. Disappointed we don’t have that.”

Day went in-depth on the play of Brown and freshman Lincoln Kienholz in his postgame press conference and assessed where the quarterback position stands entering the offseason. He also addressed the potential for offensive staff changes, finishing the season with two-straight losses and what went wrong along the offensive line, among other things.

Quick Takes: Injuries, confusing decisions cost Ohio State in Cotton Bowl loss

Here’s everything Day said after the Cotton Bowl loss to Missouri:

INITIAL THOUGHTS ON THE LOSS TO MISSOURI

“There was some zero pressure that came, and they were aggressive. In the run game, there were a couple of things that hit, but we had a young kid in there, and you have to be able to run the football and take some pressure off. We didn’t do that well enough in order to win the game. The defense played plenty good enough. They played their tails off and ran out of gas a little bit down the stretch. We gave up 14 points and 331 yards. They played great. They played good enough to win on defense. We just couldn’t put it together on offense. That’s the story of the game.”
