The Ohio State football team has lost four straight games to TTUN. It's the one black mark on Ryan Day's coaching record. Winning a national championship has given him some grace. He just signed a contract extension, so he'll be in Columbus for a while, as he should be.
With that being said, he still needs to take care of his Michigan problem. The national championship will only give him a few years of a grace period before fans start to get antsy. He needs to beat Michigan, starting next year. Fans will forgive a loss to someone else.
TTUN is already talking smack despite finishing the regular season just 7-5. They have the right to talk smack, considering the Buckeyes have lost four straight to them. Still, one player who hasn't played a single down for TTUN is already starting to talk some trash.
Freshman QB is already talking trash about the Ohio State football team
Incoming quarterback Bryce Underwood hasn't taken a single snap in college football, but he is already talking trash about the Buckeyes. While meeting with LeBron James, who's a huge Ohio State Buckeyes fan, he told him "It's over for the Buckeyes."
Last week, Bryce Underwood met LeBron James. During the interaction, Underwood told James, an avid Ohio State fan:

“It’s over for Ohio State.”

Underwood comes in this season as the top recruit in the entire country. He is someone who took a lot of NIL money to flip his recruitment from LSU to Michigan. While he is very talented, he is talking a lot of trash about the defending national champions.
Ohio State has a lot of talent coming back next season. There is a good chance that they will end the losing streak next season, even with the game in Ann Arbor. They have a lot of confidence that they will be more aggressive with their play-calling next season.
The Buckeyes are confident that they can take down Michigan next season. Underwood is confident that more of the same will keep happening as long as he's under center. It remains to be seen if he's good enough to win the job as a true freshman.
We'll find out the answer in late November. Day feels good about his team.
