In an unexpected and chaotic moment following the National Championship game, a golf cart carrying Ohio State head coach Ryan Day and Kansas State quarterback Will Howard was involved in a minor collision in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium tunnel. The incident occurred shortly after the two celebrated their respective teamâs joint triumph, marking one of the more bizarre postgame moments in recent memory.
According to witnesses, the golf cart was en route to the postgame press area when an unidentified woman, who was reportedly operating another golf cart in the same tunnel, lost control and collided with the cart carrying Day and Howard. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the crash left bystanders stunned and momentarily delayed the celebrations.
âIt was a little crazy,â Ryan Day said with a laugh during a brief interview after the incident. âOne moment weâre celebrating the biggest win of our season, and the next weâre in the middle of a golf cart pile-up. Everyoneâs okay, and thatâs what matters.â
Will Howard, who had been invited to celebrate after a stellar season and a collaborative championship run for the ages, took the mishap in stride. âI guess this is what happens when you combine adrenaline, small spaces, and golf carts,â Howard joked. âItâs a story to tell, for sure.â
Witnesses in the tunnel described the scene as chaotic but humorous. Security personnel and stadium staff quickly responded to the crash, clearing the way for both Day and Howard to continue on to their media obligations.
The Mercedes-Benz Stadium tunnel, known for its tight quarters and heavy postgame traffic, has seen its fair share of memorable moments, but this one may go down as one of the quirkiest. Social media quickly lit up with photos and videos of the aftermath, with fans sharing memes and jokes about the âchampionship crash.â
While the incident caused a brief delay, it did little to dampen the celebratory mood for Day, Howard, and their respective programs. Both men went on to speak at the press conference, focusing on their historic victory rather than the unplanned detour in the tunnel.
This championship season may be remembered for its epic plays and dominant performances, but for some, the golf cart crash will be the unexpected cherry on top of an unforgettable night.
