Tom Brady Exposes Ryan Day’s Serious Blunder That Can Cost OSU Heavily in Playoffs….See More

Alright, Buckeye Nation, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Well, you’d thought a program like Ohio State’s firepower wouldn’t crumble in its biggest moment, right? Lol. It’s like ordering the finest steak and forgetting the seasoning. Michigan walked into the chaos with pure grit. And Ohio State? Let’s just say their swagger didn’t make it past halftime. Now, when the GOAT himself, Tom Brady, speaks up, you know it’s worth listening. And if he’s calling out a blunder so massive it could crush Ohio State’s playoff hopes? Oh, you better believe everyone’s paying attention.

On December 3, Thomas Edward Brady joined The Colin Cowherd Show and didn’t hold back, dissecting the Michigan-Ohio State game that ended with the Buckeyes folding under pressure. Michigan took the W, 13-10, but it wasn’t just Michigan’s grit that did the job. Brady put the spotlight on Ryan Day’s diabolical decisions, hinting that the Buckeyes’ offense might’ve fumbled the bag—literally and figuratively—by not leaning on their strengths.

Tom Brady started by praising Michigan’s toughness, “Michigan is a very tough, hard-nosed team. They run the ba-l very well. You know, they haven’t been great throwing the ba-l, but if I looked at Ohio State’s strengths, I’d say they have a great seven-on-seven team. They’ve got guys they can throw the ba-l to.” One thing Ohio State Buckeyes never lacked was wide-outs. Well, OSU is literally known as a WR school in the NFL. But somehow, Ryan Day made his offense look like lacrosse players against the Wolverines.

But here’s the kicker—Brady went in on Ohio State’s second-half strategy, where they got literally shut down by Michigan’s defense. “In the second half, they don’t even target their best players. So to me, it’s like I may as well have been out there playing receiver for Ohio State. I can’t run; I couldn’t catch, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t throw me the ba-l.” Classic Tom Brady humor! But he’s got a point. It’s like Ryan Day’s obsession with beating Michigan–you can’t ignore it. Also, in simple terms, the blunder here is that Ohio State, known for its crazy passing game, simply didn’t deliver when it mattered most.

The Buckeyes started off promising but collapsed when it counted. The turning point came five minutes into the second quarter when Wolverines defensive back Makari Paige laid a soul-crushing hit on Ryan Day’s favorite QB, Will Howard. It was a nasty blow for Will Howard and the Buckeyes, and it showed in 4K. Ohio State’s offense started tripping hard.

Then trips inside the red zone resulted in wasted opportunities—Jayden Fielding missed two field goals, one sailing wide right from 38 yards and another wide left from 34. The offensive line crumbled like a Pillsbury cookie, barely managing 3 yards per carry on the ground, while Howard hesitated to throw deep after his picks.

The fourth quarter was the ultimate meltdown for Ryan Day’s mental health. With the game on the line 10-10, the Great Ohio State’s offense managed a meager 10 yards in total, compared to Michigan’s 101 yards. The Wolverines took advantage of Ohio State’s stupidity, driving downfield for Dominic Zvada’s 21-yard game-winning field goal to seal the game.

For Ohio State fans, the playoff dreams now hang in the balance. Tom Brady’s sharp critique underscores a painful reality: this loss wasn’t just about Michigan being better. It was about Ohio State failing to rise to the Michigan occasion. Playoffs? Maybe. But if the Buckeyes carry this same energy into the postseason, they’ll be one-and-done, no question.
