The Ohio State football team plays in Madison, Wisconsin, today. It's the first time they have played back-to-back road games this season. It's a game that they are expected to win without too many problems. In fact, it might be the last game Luke Fickell coaches for the Badgers.

With the Buckeyes being on the road, Ryan Day didn't get a chance to watch his son play on Friday night. RJ Day is the quarterback for St. Francis DeSales High School, and he's pretty solid. Day has shown the ability to be a smart quarterback who makes the right throws.

On Friday night, DeSales was talking on Harrison. Day's team was down by a point, and he was trying to lead the team on a game-winning drive. He was able to do that, having a fantastic throw to set up a game-winning field goal that helped his team win 23-21.

Ryan Day's son RJ Day has epic throw to set up game-winning field goal

Day took to social media to repost the throw on X, formerly known as Twitter. Take a look at the beautiful throw.

Day put that ball in the perfect spot so that his receiver could catch it and run with it to try and get in the end zone. While he was tripped up, DeSales was still able to make the field goal to give themselves the win. With that win, DeSales is now 7-2 with one game remaining.

There's a very good chance that Day will lead his team to the playoffs this season. He has done enough to help his team get some wins, even if he isn't a big-time high school recruit. Right now, he is unranked by the recruiting services for the class of 2027.

That doesn't mean that he doesn't have time to start getting attention from college programs. If he keeps making throws like that, he's going to start getting some big-time offers. He already has a dozen offers from schools across the country.
