"As Mirco rolled out to punt the ball into Rutgers territory, he spotted a swath of open turf and went off down the field.
“He saw it and took it,” Day said. “Just a football player.”
Later on, Day sought out Mirco on their sideline."
“I grabbed him, I said, ‘What happened?’ ” Day said. “He said, ‘I rolled out to the right and nobody was on me.’ I said, 'OK, did anybody tell you to do that?' He says, 'No.' I said, 'OK, we'll talk about that tomorrow.’ ”
Schiano said he came over from Rutgers’ sideline to protect Cruickshank and others who were in the middle of the melee.
“My player was in a sea of Ohio State players, and it was closing fast,” Schiano said. “I wanted to make sure of two things. I wanted to stop our team from coming across the field. That’s how things get very ugly. And I wanted to make sure our player got out of there safely.”
He added he has the “utmost respect” for Day.
Both of them shook hands at midfield when the game ended and appeared amicable.
Rutgers took the play off and didn't play defense on the punt.
Schiano's player was the guy who labeled Mirco out of bounds on the OSU sideline.
