## Resource

We like to say around these parts that coaching matters more in football than any other sport. (And it matters a lot in every sport.) Today's show with Dave Biddle and Patrick Murphy takes a close look at Ohio State's coaching staff, including first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, second-year DC Matt Patricia and eighth-year head coach Ryan Day. Patrick thinks Day is getting too much flak after the Texas lossand explains why. Dave thinks a lot of the criticism is fair, but also believes Day can right the ship. That and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish. (2:00) - Intro (2:55) - Thoughts on Arthur Smith thus far (5:40) - Matt Patricia not being aggressive enough (11:27) - Pat defends Ryan Day; Dave pushes back (20:32) - Why say it's going to be a 4th-quarter game? (23:42) - Day's clock management is poor (30:00) - Good news on injury front
