Senior Day at OSU Recognizes 15-Man Senior Class
Ohio State honored 15 seniors before the loss to Illinois. Elyria’s Bratt Daly, a 6-6 250 defensive lineman, walked with his family and received a lifetime gift from his parents after earning a fourth season scholarship. Daly has played mainly on special teams in eight career games. OSU’s national title hopes linger with potential Sugar Bowl or Rose Bowl bids depending on Saturday’s result against Michigan. The team’s 28-game regular-season win streak and 20-game conference streak both ended, and players wore No. 23 for Ron Springs who remains in a Dallas hospital.
