It hasn’t been a great month for the Ohio State Buckeyes after losing in a blowout to their archrival Michigan Wolverines in their last game of the season, but now they’re looking to bounce back in a College Football Playoff semifinal matchup against the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs in the Peach Bowl. And head coach Ryan Day reveals that his team is not lacking motivation.
During an interview with College GameDay on Saturday morning, Day revealed that while he knows Georgia will be a “huge challenge,” he thinks his team is ready.
Ryan Day on @OhioStateFB's matchup vs Georgia:
"We know we have a huge challenge in Georgia, but that's kind of the way we want it. … We're going to swing as hard as we can in this game and CJ's our leader. He's going to lead the way." pic.twitter.com/6ZrgQnNkRn

“We know the last month has hurt, it has, but it’s motivated our team,” Ryan Day said on GameDay. “We’re going to swing as hard as we can because there was a week there where we didn’t have anything. And when that gets taken away from you it gives you a different perspective as you go back to work over the next month. We know we have a huge challenge in Georgia, but that’s kind of the way we want it. … It’s going to be a hard game. We get it. … But we’re going to swing as hard as we can in this game and [C.J. Stroud’s] our leader. He’s going to lead the way.”
