Ryan Day boldly tells recruits 'I don't know if you like football' after seeing the Ohio State home crowd against Texas

With an announced total of 107,524 fans in the Horseshoe to witness the 14-7 win, the Buckeyes' fans had to be at their peak performance. Texas had the ball with 2:26 left in regulation, down by one score, and Ohio State holding onto its one-score lead. It was the perfect scene for Arch Manning to lead a game-tying drive, or even go for two and upset the Buckeyes despite trailing all game.

Instead, the Buckeyes rallied, driving the crowd into a frenzy. Here's a list of all recruits who were in the building for the huge win.
