Day acknowledged that in the heat of the moment, he knew he had to step in and defend his team against the negative comments.
"When you're in those environments, there's just times where you gotta stand up for your guys. We were in the motion of that game and it's gonna be a great memory down the road in about 10 years looking back on that night," Day said.
In his postgame interview, Day was clearly fired up about the comments and didn't hold back in his response. "I don't feel bad about saying it because I believe it, and Notre Dame was a better football team." Holtz said. "Ohio State is a good football team. I don't think they are a great football team. He can go after me all he wants," Holtz said.
