There are no rivalries in the wide world of sports better than the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines. Ryan Day and Ohio State were finally able to break a four-game losing streak against Michigan this season.
In recent history, there has been a lot of drama between the Buckeyes and Wolverines. Most notably, the Connor Stalions scandal shook the landscape of Michigan football. Now a disgraced former member of the Wolverines' coaching staff, Stalions has remained vocal about college football.
Day currently has Ohio State looking like a good bet to win a second straight national championship. The Buckeyes are awaiting the winner of the Texas A&M and Miami matchup in the College Football Playoff.

With that being said, Stalions recently spoke out about a change that Day made that he felt was the smartest thing the Ohio State head coach did this season.
...
As shared by Outkick, Stalions revealed the change that he thinks has made the difference for the Buckeyes in 2025.
"They were doing it on offense. Once they started huddling, there's no use for it," Stalions said of Ohio State's change to stop sign stealing.
"Probably the smartest thing Ryan Day did this year was really slow it down... not going up-tempo, you can't really steal signals."
It didn't take long for fans to take to the comments on the video. There isn't a lot of love left for Stalions at this point in time.
"Not why he slowed down. Benefit of slowing down, but not why he did it. Wear and tear on players is the main reason," one fan wrote.
A second fan commented, "This guy is insufferable."
"I can’t believe people care what this dude has to say," a third comment read.
Another comment said, "How embarrassing that you guys would have this guy on even giving him a platform is embarrassing."

Regardless of what Stalions has to say, Ohio State is in a great place heading into the playoff. While the Buckeyes did lose in the Big Ten championship against the Indiana Hoosiers, there are many who think they're the best team in college football.
Following their magical run to a national championship run last season, Day and company have their eyes set on a repeat. It will be interesting to see if Ohio State can get it done.
