Instead of a smooth ride through the tunnels at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ryan Day and Ohio State players found themselves in a precarious situation with a golf cart.
Day and several other players were seated on a golf cart that crashed while trying to make a turn.
As Day and some Buckeyes players were on their way to the postgame press conference room at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, they went head-on into a wall outside the locker room.
Fortunately, no one was injured by the accident, which forced the Buckeyes to walk through the tunnel of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Ohio State Avoids Epic Collapse
Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes did their job on Monday night to win the College Football Playoff National Championship game in memorable fashion.
The Buckeyes are back on top, as Ohio State took down Notre Dame, 34-23, to win the College Football Playoff National Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The team once held a 31-7 lead and nearly lost it all in the second half. However, they held off the Fighting Irish.
