“You talked about Ryan Day and a few wrinkles. Ryan Day, without saying anything, kind of talked about how Brent Venables is so good at understanding offense and formations and their personnel groupings and waits until the last second,” Herbstreit said, via 247Sports. “Some people interpreted that as ‘he’s stealing signs.’ I think Ryan Day was just saying, ‘listen he’s very good. His guys are all in-tune with him, checking over the the sideline, trying to make sure everyone’s on the same page.'”
