Ryan Day Has Bold Suggestion For College Football Rules

October 14, 2021 by The Spun

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day during the Buckeyes' game against Northwestern.

During this Thursday’s radio show appearance, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day made a bold suggestion regarding college football’s rules.

Day admit that he would vote against kickoffs and have offenses start at the 25-yard line every possession. He would make this change if he was in charge of the rules strictly for player safety reasons.

There are so many nasty collisions that take place over the course of a football game, with a lot of those collisions occurring on special teams. Eliminating regular kickoffs would minimize the damage, but it wouldn’t completely erase this problem.

It’s also worth mentioning that Day would be in favor of college football still allowing onside kicks to take place.

On his weekly radio show, Ryan Day said he would vote to do away with kickoffs and have offenses start at the 25-yard line every time for player safety reasons, though he still thinks onside kicks should be allowed.

Day said the Buckeyes opted to fair catch kickoffs last year and start at the 25-yard line. Things have changed this year due to the emergence of freshman wideout Emeka Egbuka.

With Egubka back to receive kicks, the Buckeyes have been more aggressive when it comes to trying to flip field position. Day praised Egubka’s return skills, saying “He’s kind of the ideal guy for that.”

It’s interesting that Day would be willing to concede kickoffs despite having an electric kick returner on his roster. That just shows how serious he is about player safety.
