Ryan Day Wants Ohio State’s Quarterback Competition to Be Settled Two Weeks Before Season Opener vs. Texas​

“I'd like to see them continue to compete throughout this week, maybe into next week. But you'd like to have an idea of who that guy's going to be for at least a couple weeks heading into the first game,” Day said.

“It's a true battle, and they have that opportunity for one to make the other one better,” Hartline told BTN on Thursday. “Competition can breed the best out of individuals. So if you really have a room or a position like that, it really allows you to maximize the individual. So good for the team, frankly. And the guys are competing prep-wise, on the field, in the weight room, they're doing a phenomenal job and they are pushing each other. So I think the benefit is the team’s going to have the best version of one of those guys.

“And I'm not saying they both don't play. Coach Day and I have talked a little bit about that. Ultimately, it's going to be a conversation. But they're both doing a really good job.”

“I'm competing with myself,” St. Clair said on Tuesday. “I'm trying to get better every day, be who I can be for this team, wherever that's needed. I'm trying to be the best teammate I can be for these quarterbacks, the best teammate I can be for this team, because they're all my brothers.”

“I have a luxury of all great players on the field at the same time as me here,” St. Clair said. “At Bellefontaine, I had good players, but they weren't the level that I have here. So I felt obligated to go and have to make the play, like I had to make the play. Sometimes it wasn't always the right play. But here, you have the great players, they're gonna be in the right spots. They know exactly what they're supposed to do. All you have to do is get the ball to them at the right time.”

“You feel like you have an idea coming in, like, yeah, I'm gonna have to watch a lot of film, things like that,” St. Clair said. “But the attention to detail at Ohio State is different. Every single play, every detail has to matter. Every inch matters. That's what Coach Day and Coach Mick always say. They always preach that to us. So every inch actually matters here. And you can't have a bad day at Ohio State.”

I still think they get hammered. There's just too much evidence for them not to. That said, as I've stated throughout this whole ordeal, if they skate that's pretty much it for me and CFB. I'm already so disillusioned with all of the change that has happened, if blatant cheating that directly impacted the results on the field isn't taken seriously...that's it for me. There's no way I can take the sport seriously at that point. My fandom is already hanging on my a thread.

Nobody will be happier to be wrong than I, that's for sure

Slower and in a circular motion is how I do it but to each their own

I'll leave it to the real X and O gurus but to my simple mind, Klare is the weapon that makes the defense easier to read, let alone what a good TE can do running through the middle of a 2 high safety defense.

Smith is such a difference maker he' forces the defense to be very predictable, now you add the specific weapon of a pass catching TE (or two) and theoretically the reads get very simple: 1) Smith is he bracketed? If so 2) look over the middle to where a LB is trying to run up the seam with a TE.

The safety shouldn't be able to help out both the corner and the LB. That's overly simplistic, I know. The defense is going to do somethings to fight back and disguise it but Smith is such a weapon, it's going to be very hard to do do.

If they develop a hitch in their step, it might very well be the red zone. That TE abusing the LB's down the middle gets mitigated as the field shrinks.

I'm no guru either, but that makes a lot of sense to me.

I'd put up OSU's 2nd string WRs of: Quincy Porter, Bryson Rodgers and Mylan Graham against every group in the country as well.

You're usually varying degrees of more reasonable than I, but I've got to pump the offseason brakes on that one. Love it to be true.

tODAY I had black cherry yogurt and pretended it was 2 eggs over hard fried in bacon grease, home fires with onions, and bacon.....................

This is a logical, mature and measured take based on years of analysis. I'm going to have to ask you to stop right there

Don't forget to trim the fat and air fry it

Do you cut up carrots, onions, etc to make a mire poix for your broth?

Yes of course but this is a peppery stew and carrots and celery mess with the flavor, this was just onion and garlic

Dead to me

This "want to be Buckeyes" thing is getting overdone.

It's being used to like a pejorative, as if the kids who take extra money to go elsewhere had a character flaw. It's the same as saying "we didn't want the 5 star guy, give me the 3 star that wants to be here" back in the pre NIL days.

Nonsense. Your coach wanted the talent or he wouldn't have offered and recruited. Same with NIL, if they aren't the right fit, why were we recruiting/bidding in the first place? It's the same kid you were just bidding on before that last dollar amount.

I like a little more self honesty in my coffee. We're losing more and more of these kind of recruits. What's changing, are we changing with it? Etc etc etc. There are near zero rules in this game so it's very fluid. Thinking what you did previously will keep working going forward without fail is a recipe for disaster.

Ian does excellent work, FWIW.

First real scrimmage of the year is tonight! Looking forward to another year of Friday night lights! Which will also be Saturday mornings as well. My son is 2nd string varsity and starting jv (he's a sophomore). I'll be on the sidelines behind the camera, so I get to have a great view of everything!

Good luck to your son!

I'm definitely at the point where I'm expecting little if anything. This feels like waiting for the prince of Nigeria to send me back my 100k that I wired over.

I think we, as fans, will not get what we want (aka whats warranted). Still open to being surprised but this whole thing smells funny.

This is why I think Max Klare needs to be, and I think will be, a big part of the game plan. I also like Peoples to have a pretty big game if the OL is reasonably on point. It's not clear to me yet if the OL will be as good as lots of folks seems to be assuming they will be.
