Nick know impressed by Ryan Day sends a powerful message

It Ohio State Buckeyes He continued his strong start to the 2025 university football season with a convincing victory over the Illinois Fighing Illni on Saturday.

This keeps them unbeaten and puts them in a good position to successfully defend their national championship title.

The exercise of Buckeyes in this game and those throughout the season was praised by former Alabama coach Nick Saban this week.

During an appearance on “The Pat Mcafee Show” on Friday, Saban said the following:

“They have been one of the most consistent teams so far this season. Look at their defense. They have only given 25 points for the whole season and have been dominant and played two really good teams, Texas and Washington.”

The state of Ohio has been able to have five very strong wins to open the season. As Saban said, his defense has been one of the best, and reaching this week has only given 25 points.

This figure has increased slightly after 34-16 surpassed Illinois today, but only by granting 41 points in six games is a show or massive force of the Buckeyes.

The crime has also been constantly powerful. The new quarterback, Julian Sayin, has been able to direct the program to these wins and, despite some minor struggles against the Texas Longhorns In his first game, Sayin has been able to place as a growing star in university football.

Nick Saban compares the Big Ten with the dry

During the same interview, Nick Saban assumed the current states of the Big Ten and Sec, the two largest conferences in university football.

“I don't think the Big Ten is really so deep. I think Illinois has a fairly decent team. It's not like the dry where you have eight or nine teams that can overcome you. Think there are three or four teams in the Big Ten that can overcome you.” Saban said.

This has always been the main critique of the Big Ten conference.

While the dry has numerous strong teams, they could all be overcome by a generally stronger schedule, for a team of ten grains like Ohio State, sometimes he considers the calendar to be just a prelude Michigan Wolverines Game at the end of the season.

The recent expansion of the conference added by Oregon and some of the oldest Pac-12 teams have helped make the conference stronger, but unless a massive improvement of numerous conference members is seen, the ten adults will not live up to the Sec.
