Fans were furious with Ryan Day and Chip Kelly over Ohio State’s play-calling vs. Michigan

Unranked Michigan pulled off a stunning (albeit ugly) upset over No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday, winning 13-10 on the road in Columbus in a game where, at times, it seemed like neither team actually wanted to win.

Throughout the game, Ohio State fans online were becoming increasingly frustrated, particularly with head coach Ryan Day, offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and the Buckeyes’ offensive play-calling with a bunch of run plays for a couple yards here and there. Two missed field goals didn’t help either.

With a 10-10 halftime score, the Buckeyes failed to post a single point in the second half in their disastrous defeat.

Yes, it was windy in Columbus, and yes, Ohio State quarterback Will Howard threw two interceptions and may have been a little rattled after a very hard hit in the first half. But fans couldn’t believe how seldom the Buckeyes were looking to pass to wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Egbuka.

Their frustration was fairly warranted when Ohio State finished with just 77 total rushing yards while moving the ball relatively easily through the air — Howard’s interceptions aside. Some fans just vented their frustration online, while others called for Day’s and Kelly’s jobs regardless of the final score.

Either way, angry fans absolutely torched the two Buckeyes coaches throughout the second half and after the game.
