The coach said this week he is sticking with Luke Fahey as the Buckeyes try to regroup with three games left on the schedule.\n\nThe skid has been ugly. Ohio State, ranked No. 2 at the time, lost at Southern California 30-18, then followed it up with a 41-28 home loss to Oregon that saw the team give up 38 unanswered points at one stretch. The once-top-ranked Buckeyes fell 10 spots in the AP poll and now sit at No. 21.\n\nAt 6-3 overall and 4-2 in Big Ten play, Ohio State is tied for third in the conference standings with five other teams, leaving its hopes of reaching the Big Ten Championship Game very much in doubt. The College Football Playoff picture is just as shaky. Day acknowledged anger and frustration around the program but said he is not ready to shift focus away from the final stretch of the regular season.\n\nThe Buckeyes have not lost back-to-back games by double digits since 2004, and this marks their first three-loss season since 2011.","published_at":"2026-11-11T00:18:23.830842+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day Sticking With Luke Fahey At QB vs. Northwestern","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/ohio-state-coach-ryan-day-sticking-with-qb-focusing-on-final-3-games-amid-losing-streak"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ohio State coach Ryan Day sticking with QB, focusing on final 3 games amid losing streak","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ohio-state-coach-ryan-day-212913670.html"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Dave Portnoy demands apology for being right about Ryan Day","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/dave-portnoy-demands-apology-for-being-right-about-ryan-day.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ryan Day makes first staffing change amid Ohio State's worst season in over a decade","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ryan-day-makes-first-staffing-140143305.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"What Ohio State coach Ryan Day takes responsibility for after losses","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ohio-state-coach-ryan-day-150849348.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ohio State football’s Ryan Day fires coach after Oregon disaster","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ohio-state-football-ryan-day-150148472.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ohio State fires a coach after blowout loss to Oregon","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ohio-state-fires-coach-blowout-154157209.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Former Ohio State Star Vocal About Wanting Coach Fired","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/former-ohio-state-star-vocal-021109414.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ohio State makes the cut for 2028 5-star OT","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ohio-state-makes-cut-2028-100100251.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"I’m still wondering why Robby Discher was the only one shown the door","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/m-still-wondering-why-robby-143100672.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Ryan Day, Ohio State coordinators to speak after Oregon upset.
