Ohio State’s head coach was not happy about former Notre Dame turned analyst Lou Holtz’s comments about his team.

During an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Holtz took shots at Day and Ohio State by saying they were not physical enough to beat Notre Dame.

“You look at Coach (Ryan) Day — and I coached at Ohio State under Woody Hayes. We won the national championship when I was there. I’m proud of that. However, (Day) has lost to Alabama, Georgia, Clemson and Michigan twice. And everybody that beats him does so because they are more physical than Ohio State. And I think Notre Dame will take that same approach.”

After beating Notre Dame in a tight game that went to the wire, Day immediately called out Holtz over his comments on national television.

“I’d like to know where Lou Holtz is right now. What he said about our team, I cannot believe. This is a tough team right here. We’re proud to be from Ohio. It’s always been Ohio against the world, and it’ll continue to be Ohio against the world,”

“When someone attacks your family… to come in and win like this, it’s special.”

Here’s Ryan Day’s full postgame interview.
