Every week, Eleven Warriors dives into the mentions of Ohio State's coaches and players to bring you the #HotTakes and ramblings of Buckeye Nation. This week, we're celebrating the 28-17 win over Penn State and the return of Chase Young.
It looked like Ohio State was setting the stage for its eleventh consecutive blowout victory when it scored the first 21 points of the game (and fumbled away an opportunity to score the first 28).
The Nittany Lions were able to crawl off the mat in the third quarter, however, scoring 17 unanswered points to become the first team to give the Buckeyes a game in the second half.
That's as close as James Franklin's squad got, though. Justin Fields orchestrated another touchdown drive and Young and the rest of the defense took care of everything else. The result was an 11-point win that clinched the Big Ten East Division for the good guys.
Y'all got anxious in the second half but loved every minute of Young's return. Let's get to the mentions.
@ Ryan Day
This was unquestionably Ryan Day's toughest day on Twitter, but it didn't start that way. So many of you wanted to run through brick walls for the man.
Id run through a brick wall for @ryandaytime https://t.co/wHs52XPWQH

All I could picture reading through these tweets was the Kool-Aid Man busting through the locker room.
Great start by the , get the stop on D and then March it methodically down the field for the TD! @ryandaytime and @OhioStateFB like..... pic.twitter.com/uJjSvCNLd4

@ryandaytime just isn't nice. Penn State has a great rush defense? Okay, then let's destroy them on the ground just to take their soul! #PSUvsOSU #Buckeyes

Third quarter and theyre falling apart. If this is how theyre playing today we wont beat michigan.
— Lisa Lattea (@LLattea) November 23, 2019
@ryandaytime went full Jim Tressel in the 3rd with this atrocity of an offense. What the hell are these calls?? Stop playing the conservative crap. Thats not who we are.
— BeardedRunner (@BeardedRunner23) November 23, 2019
@ryandaytime your play calling on 3rd and 1st down is as bad as Kitchens and it wont get the job done in playoffs step your game up

This was the only good tweet in Day's mentions after halftime.
@ryandaytime seriously...get better with the damn play calling. You have a 3rd and 4, you run fields.....wtf. Run a slant route to 17 smfh. And open up the playbook geezus.
— Morgan (@Sapper_11) November 23, 2019
@ryandaytime you idiot! Garbage play calling and putting your QB at risk.
— Adam (@American__Grit) November 23, 2019
@ryandaytime that was the worst god damn play call Ive ever seen, selfish play call on your part.
— Harrison (@EmbreeHarrison) November 23, 2019
I guess I'm old enough to remember double-digit wins over top-10 opponents are good, actually.
@ryandaytime You dumb ass, why didn't you kick a field goal. Now your quarterback is injured.
— Jenny Willingter (@jennysw53) November 23, 2019
Whoa guys Jenny is mad.
Im not complaining. Bad weather, tough opponent, still a double digit win. Im glad it was close. Better to have them pissed going into TTUN Week.
