Ryan Day Postgame Press Conference Highlights After Beating Clemson in Sugar Bowl

Watch the highlights from the Ohio State head coach after the Buckeyes beat Clemson in the College Football Playoff Semifinal.

Ryan Day was justifiably exhausted after an incredibly emotional, hard-fought win over the Clemson Tigers on Friday night.

Think about how much time and attention has been paid over the 370 days between losing to Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl and exacting their revenge in the Sugar Bowl on Friday. Not to mention the emotions of the game itself.

But as you'd expect, Day had an awful lot of good things to say about his team's performance ... while trying to keep perspective on the fact that they still have one more game they'd like to go win.

Here are a few of the highlights from Day's postgame press conference after the Buckeyes thumped Clemson in New Orleans. Day's opening statement is available in the video above.
