Ryan Day hasn’t talked to Lou Holtz since their 2023 feud, adding tension ahead of the upcoming championship game.
Columbus: So, Ryan Day and Lou Holtz are still not on speaking terms. Their feud kicked off back in 2023, and it’s still simmering. With Ohio State and Notre Dame set to clash in the College Football Playoff national championship on January 20 in Atlanta, the tension is palpable.
After Ohio State’s recent win over Texas, Day was asked if he had reached out to Holtz. He simply said, “No.” That one-word answer says a lot about the ongoing friction between them.
The whole thing started when Holtz, on “The Pat McAfee Show,” questioned Ohio State’s toughness before their game against Notre Dame. He boldly claimed Notre Dame would win by ten points, citing their strong offensive line and overall team strength.
Day didn’t take kindly to Holtz’s comments, especially after Ohio State’s nail-biting win over Notre Dame. He passionately defended his team, saying he couldn’t believe what Holtz had said. He emphasized that Ohio State is a tough team and always has been.
Holtz, for his part, stood by his original remarks, suggesting that physicality has been a problem for Ohio State in crucial games. It’s clear both coaches have strong opinions, and fans are eager to see how this rivalry plays out on the field.
With the championship game approaching, everyone’s wondering who will come out on top and if this feud will finally come to a head.
