Former Ohio State players have sharply criticized head coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes program following the team's loss to Oregon, according to a report from The Comeback published Sunday.
The criticism came after Ohio State fell to the Oregon Ducks, though specific details of the defeat were not immediately available. Former players reportedly used phrases such as "clean house" and called the performance "embarrassing" in their assessment of the program's current direction under Day.
Day, who has led the Buckeyes since 2019, has compiled a strong overall record but has faced scrutiny over high-profile losses in recent seasons. The latest defeat to Oregon has apparently intensified frustration among program alumni.
Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, pictured during a 2022 game against Michigan State, is among the current players affected by the program's recent results. The Buckeyes will look to respond in their next outing as they aim to remain in contention for the Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff berth.
