Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day has now lost three straight games against the archrival Michigan Wolverines leading to a lot of frustration among Ohio State fans. But college football analyst and former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit seems to have a suggestion for Day as he tries to shift the rivalry back in Ohio State’s favor.
During a recent appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast, Kirk Herbstreit suggested that Ohio State should consider recruiting more players from the state of Ohio who understand the meaning of the rivalry with Michigan.
“If I were Ryan Day and I were looking at okay, we put everything into this we got to get tougher. I’ve always felt that when Ohio State is tougher, the recruiting that they have done from the end of the Urban Meyer era to now, they recruit nationally. They go to Florida, they go to Georgia, they go to North Carolina, they go to Texas, they go to California,” Herbstreit said on the podcast according to On3.
“If you look at the Ohio State roster, they’re not a ton of Ohio guys. And I would suggest maybe looking at that aspect of the roster. And finding more Ohio guys that qualified to be on the Ohio State roster to make them appreciate what this game really means.”
Ohio State’s most recent 2024 recruiting class features 24 players, but just seven of them are from the state of Ohio.
