The Ohio State football team won the 2024 national championship. That will mean that this year's team will have to defend the championship. The 2025 Buckeyes will likely be a top-three-ranked team in the preseason polls. Despite all of the talent, Ryan Day has said that this team hasn't proved anything yet.
While speaking on 97.1 The Fan, Day mentioned that as great as last year's team was, this year's team has not proven anything yet. They still have a lot of work to do in order to get to that same level of play. He knows that each team is different.
The Buckeyes have been trying to get more consistent with their play as time has gone along. They are still trying to figure out the starters for certain positions, including quarterback. That's part of the reason why Day said that this team hasn't done anything yet.
Ryan Day says this Ohio State football team hasn't proven anything yet
The Buckeyes are taking on Texas in the first game of the season. That will be a good test to start the season because Texas will also be a top-three team in the preseason rankings. That's when Ohio State will actually prove something. Winning that game would be a great first step.
Ohio State has a tough schedule this season. Texas, Penn State, and Michigan will all be tough games. The Buckeyes have to win at least two of those games to secure their spot in the College Football Playoff. Day certainly needs to win that Michigan game after losing each of the last four.
There will be a Spring Game this year. There will be no Spring Showcase, it will actually be a Spring Game. That will give These players a chance to prove something to their coaches. It will be a good first-look for fans.
