Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.Following No. 4 Texas’ stunning 24-23 comeback victory over the top-ranked Ohio State football team in Austin, Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian confidently approached Buckeyes coach Ryan Day at midfield and said, “I hope to see you again.” This statement came after Arch Manning led a remarkable comeback, erasing a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit with three unanswered touchdown drives.While Sarkisian celebrated the greatest fourth-quarter rally in history against an AP No. 1 opponent, Day faced intense national criticism for his team’s collapse in the final quarter. After holding what seemed like an insurmountable lead for three quarters, Ohio State became passive on offense and poorly managed the clock in the final two minutes.In a scathing USA Today column, Day came under fire for his clock-management decisions during Texas’ final drive. With the Longhorns in a favorable position at second-and-goal, Day chose not to preserve time for his own offense. “We talked about it and decided that we were gonna play defense on second down instead of letting Texas score,” Day explained after the game. This decision drew widespread mockery, with analysts suggesting that Day should have allowed a touchdown on first down to give quarterback Julian Sayin enough time to respond. Instead, Hollywood Smothers scored with just 25 seconds left, leaving Ohio State with virtually no chance to respond.Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)The collapse shattered records in the worst way possible in Columbus. Ohio State football team stat historian Matt Gutridge provided alarming context on X, stating, “Ohio State was 309-0 when leading by 17+ points at halftime. The Buckeyes are now 309-1. For the first time in program history, the Buckeyes lost a game after leading by 20+ points after the third quarter (47-1-1). The tie was to SMU in 1978.” For Day, this inexplicable late-game sequence turned what should have been a signature early-season road victory into one of the most painful regular-season losses of his tenure.Related: Texas football’s Steve Sarkisian drops mic on not coaching like a ‘loser’ against Ohio StateRelated: Ohio State HC Ryan Day states obvious after all-time gag vs. Texas
