\n In the latest episode of The Ryan Day Radio Show, Ryan Day discussed the Buckeyes\u2019 preparation for Purdue, emphasizing his team\u2019s pursuit of efficiency and urgency as it approaches the final stretch of the regular season. <\/p>\n

\n\tDay said the Buckeyes have learned how to control games through consistent execution \u2014 and know when to \u201cturn up the gas\u201d when the moment demands it.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEfficiency is what we\u2019re after,\u201d Day said. \u201cThat\u2019s how you control the game. When it\u2019s time to turn up the gas, we will.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom there, Day touched on nearly every phase of the program \u2014 from Ohio State\u2019s practice habits and in-game adjustments,\u00a0 Julian Sayin\u2019s mobility and the growing confidence in Larry Johnson\u2019s defensive line room. He also reiterated that the Buckeyes\u2019 mindset remains anything but ordinary: \u201cWhat we\u2019re chasing is not normal.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing Day\u2019s appearance, former Purdue tight end Max Klare joined Paul Keels and Jim Lachey to discuss the Buckeyes and Boilermakers.\n<\/p>\n

\tRyan Day<\/p>\n

\tOn practice this week<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cIt\u2019s been good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said the wind was around 15 mph at practice on Tuesday and Wednesday with gusts up to 35 mph. \u201cGood to see us kind of handle that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cTuesday, Wednesday, now we got to have a great Thursday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOn Ohio State\u2019s practice habits<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cWhat we\u2019re chasing is not normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cIf we\u2019re acting normal like everybody else, then something is wrong. This is something you have to chase.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cWhen you come watch practice, it should look like the best practice in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cI feel like when I\u2019m out there coaching and someone comes to watch practice, they should watch the best coach in America, the best 3-tech in the country, the best slot receiver \u2014 that\u2019s our job every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cThe guys have embraced that. They understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOn Ohio State\u2019s in-game adjustments<\/p>\n

\t\tDay wishes he hadn\u2019t revealed that Ohio State drew up the play that led to Julian Sayin\u2019s second deep ball to Carnell Tate at halftime. \u201cI knew that would get a lot of attention. I don\u2019t know why I said anything. But it\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said using iPads on the sidelines has helped Ohio State make in-game adjustments.<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Ohio State\u2019s players have great focus and attention to detail on the sidelines during games.<\/p>\n

\tOn Ohio State having urgency<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cWe challenge the guys all the time to have urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cWe\u2019re getting to our ninth game and feel like we just started.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cWe just keep challenging those guys to just keep pushing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said the coaches emphasize the message \u201cIt\u2019s gonna come, you got to believe in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOn Ohio State\u2019s depth at center<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cWe like to have at least four or five who know how to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Carson Hinzman, Josh Padilla, Luke Montgomery, Jake Cook and Isaiah Kema are the five who Ohio State feels confident in to snap the football.<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Ohio State constantly works on snapping the football, both under center and in the shotgun.<\/p>\n

\tOn Julian Sayin\u2019s mobility<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cHe\u2019s got good short-area quickness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cYou can see him move well in the pocket, out of the pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cThat\u2019s helpful because not everything is gonna go exactly according to plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOn Ohio State\u2019s halftime adjustments against Penn State<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cThere was no panic with anybody at halftime, including the defense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cI thought some of the adjustments we made were really well done and put on the film by the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Ohio State played \u201cviolent\u201d and \u201cphysical\u201d in the second half.<\/p>\n

\tOn Ohio State\u2019s defensive tackles<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cI think Larry, just as the season has gone on, has really, with that group, built a mindset and a mentality. I think it\u2019s growing each weke.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cThey know the run that we need to go on here and what we need to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cI think there\u2019s confidence in there right now. There\u2019s a chippiness, a toughness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Ohio State has to stop the run each week.<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cIt\u2019s been contagious. It\u2019s been good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOn Ohio State\u2019s offensive game plan<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cEfficiency is what we\u2019re after.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cWhen you\u2019re efficient and you\u2019re playing like that, a three-score game can feel way out of reach where I feel like maybe in the past it was like, \u2018OK we\u2019re just getting started on the game.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cThat\u2019s how you control the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cWhen it\u2019s time to turn up the gas, we will.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOn Ohio State\u2019s running backs<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Ohio State\u2019s running backs have shown they can be pass catchers out of the backfield.<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Ohio State will need the running backs to be pass-catching threats, just like TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins were in the College Football Playoff last season.<\/p>\n

\tOn Ohio State\u2019s versatility on offense<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Ohio State wants to be as versatile as possible on offense. He said the running game can open up the passing game and vice versa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Jeremiah Smith continues to draw attention that opens up opportunities for his teammates. Carnell Tate is creating opportunities for others, too.<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cTo me, Carnell is playing as good as anybody in the country at wide receiver right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOn Purdue<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cSome teams are getting better. I think Purdue is getting better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cI think they\u2019re just focused on getting better each week. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cI think they\u2019re a different team than they were earlier in the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cThey play hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOn Purdue quarterback Ryan Browne<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cHe\u2019s mobile.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cHe makes a lot of plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Ohio State has to \u201cbe aware\u201d of Brown\u2019s style of play and not let him hurt them with his legs.<\/p>\n

\tOn playing on grass at Ross-Ade Stadium<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said he prefers playing on grass. His players may, too, though he can\u2019t confirm.<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said Ohio State will practice on grass for most of the week, but can move to the turf practice field when needed.<\/p>\n

\t\tDay said grass is easier on the players\u2019 bodies and joints. He said turf is \u201cfaster\u201d and holds up better in the elements.<\/p>\n

\t\tLachey noted that Ohio State hasn\u2019t played on a grass surface since the Rose Bowl Game last season.<\/p>\n

\tMax Klare<\/p>\n

\tOn returning to Purdue this weekend<\/p>\n

\t\tKlare said he\u2019s excited to return to West Lafayette this weekend.<\/p>\n

\t\tKlare is excited to see his brother, Luke, who is a redshirt freshman tight end at Purdue.<\/p>\n

\tOn Julian Sayin<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cIt\u2019s super impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cHis poise and just the way he carries himself on and off the field is impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOn Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate<\/p>\n

\t\t\u201cBeing able to watch them every day in practice and then watch them do what they do in the game, it\u2019s a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\tKlare said every time Sayin throws the ball in their direction he feels confident Smith and Tate will make a play.<\/p>\n
