The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to take on the Miami Hurricanes at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Dec. 31.

DALLAS — Ohio State coaches and players took part in Media Day on Monday morning ahead of the Cotton Bowl.

Head coach Ryan Day was joined by the other position coaches and all the players to speak about the team’s matchup with Miami on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Day will participate in a joint press conference with Miami head coach Mario Cristobal at 12:30 p.m.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to take on the Miami Hurricanes at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Dec. 31.

The No. 2-seed Buckeyes had a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. The No. 10-seed Miami faced No. 7-seed Texas A&M on Saturday afternoon, taking down the Aggies 10-3.

Day said last week that he will be calling the offensive plays for Ohio State during the College Football Playoff. Brian Hartline was the offensive play caller during the Buckeyes regular season, but accepted the head coaching position at South Florida on Dec. 3. Hartline remains on the Buckeyes’ staff through the CFP and is coaching the wide receivers.

Day said putting together the game plan remains a group effort with co-offensive coordinator/tight ends coach Keenan Bailey, Carlos Locklyn (running backs), Billy Fessler (quarterbacks) and Tyler Bowen (offensive line) equally involved.

Day called plays on offense the first five years he was Ohio State’s head coach. He turned over those duties to Chip Kelly in 2024 and gave them to Hartline this season when Kelly left for the NFL.

Ohio State and Miami will kick off at 7:30 p.m.

The winner of the Cotton Bowl will advance to the CFP semifinals at the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona, on Jan. 8.
