RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

Ryan Day dropped a pointed update on Ohio State freshman RB Legend Bey that feels like a sigh of relief​

The latest around Ohio State freshman RB Legend Bey is exactly what Buckeye Nation wanted to hear.

Ryan Day sees Legend Bey heading in the right direction

It sounds like Bey is finally starting to find his footing. Day’s latest update on the freshman running back shares that same idea.

“He’s starting to take some steps in the right direction for sure, and he’s built a little momentum,” Day said. “So I’d like to have another good week with him.”

Another good week of practice could have Bey playing some against Indiana, even if it’s just as a kick returner. That would give him the ability to continue building trust with this coaching staff. It would also put the ball in his hands and give him a chance to make a play.

The 5-foot-10, 177-pound running back is still adjusting to a position switch after playing quarterback in high school. That transition takes time, especially at a program like Ohio State.

Bey isn’t going to be a heavy-workload player for the Buckeyes as a freshman. However, if he can become a player Ohio State uses situationally and then grow from there, that would be ideal for both sides.

Day doesn’t put comments like this out publicly for no reason. He never does. Now it’s up to Bey to keep heading in the right direction, and the week leading up to Indiana is going to be key in showing whether that momentum carries over.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones this morning on @1053thefan sharing one of his "greatest memories" from his trips to Green Bay: "After the game against (the Packers) maybe 25 years ago, all of my grandchildren were very small, 4 or 5 years old. And I had a car full of them. It was so cold. We won, and as we left the stadium, we were in a long, big car, and I saw this lady headed toward the car. "She comes up beside the car running. She was so upset as a Green Bay fan. She was pretty hefty. And she turns around and pulls it all down and just plants it right up against the window. Everybody inside was in (shock) and couldn't believe it. And then her skin stuck to the window it was so cold. When she pulled away, there was just a big print sitting there on the side of that car. There were about 10 or 11 of us in the car and we can still see it today."

Dude's from Arkansas so that Wisconsin mama must have been BIG if he called her pretty hefty.

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

Login to view embedded media
He started hot, completing seven of his first nine passes for 194 yards and three touchdowns less than 23 minutes into the game. But then Sayin completed only three of his next nine passes for 21 yards — including a score and a pick-six — before completing his final three throws of the game.

While Sayin showed off his scrambling ability again, he was limited, running for 19 yards on seven carries (excluding sacks). He also fumbled the ball both times he was sacked, turning the ball over to Maryland on one of those occasions.

He discussed the fumbles paired with the interception-turned-pick-six and near interception after the game.

"Disappointed in myself," Sayin said. "The ball security, obviously, is not what we want to do, and really could have been three turnovers, with the one that we ended up recovering. ... I gotta be better in that area and try to improve and get better, and it has to get fixed going into next week's game."

Game Thread tOSU at Indiana, Saturday Oct. 17, Noon ET, FOX

Presser Bullets: Ryan Day Says Nothing That Happened Against Indiana Last Year Matters This Year, Buckeyes Must “Stay Focused for 60 Minutes”​

Ryan Day​

  • With pace of play up this year, Day said he spoke with Arthur Smith earlier this year about wanting it to be a part of the offense in a “big way.”
  • Said “nothing that's happened before matters at all going into this game” in reference to bringing up last year’s loss to Indiana.
  • On Jake Cook: “Got a great mindset. He’s a tough guy who takes a lot of pride in how he works every day … He's a guy who grew up in Ohio, wasn't the highly recruited guy, but was gritty. He was tough. Earned everything he got.”
  • Said the offense “has made progress” when it comes to finishing drives in the red zone but is still looking for more.
  • On Indiana: “These guys have played a lot of football. You look at a lot of guys in all three phases that played over 1,000 snaps, and so you know he's done a very good job. Their staff has done a very good job of bringing in guys who are mature and have played a lot of football before.”
  • On the offensive line shuffling with injuries: “We have a plan in place. That's why we recruit depth. That's why we develop depth, and that's why we have to play depth, and so that's what we're going to have to do in this game, and then be prepared for whatever comes with it.”
  • Day said Indiana’s defensive line is “one of the biggest challenges we'll have all season.”
  • Said it “looks like we’ll get” Phillip Daniels back this week, and Daniels will have a full day of practice on Tuesday.
  • Called Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover “really efficient” and “they're doing a good job of putting him in the system that takes care of the ball, and that's one of the reasons why they've been so successful on so many games.”
  • When asked about Indiana’s ability to win in the fourth quarter, Day said “you have to stay focused for 60 minutes,” as the Hoosiers won’t let up ever.
  • Said the defensive backs “have to win” their one-on-ones against Indiana wide receivers Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh.
  • Said it was a “tough ask” for Gabe VanSickle to step in at right tackle after never playing the spot with Austin Siereveld inactive — he did “a lot of good,” but it wasn’t perfect. Day did not address Siereveld’s status for the Indiana game, but said VanSickle would move back to guard with Daniels returning at right tackle.
  • Said it’s all right for players to channel their emotions from last year’s loss into this game, but reiterated how that was then and the focus should be on Saturday.
  • When asked about Indiana bringing in transfer quarterbacks for three years in a row and the future of the sport at that position, Day said most teams would prefer to develop quarterbacks they recruited, but the reality is the older guys often make a difference due to their experience, and teams are looking for that in the portal.
  • On Eddrick Houston: “He's taking the next step and he's playing well, a ton of confidence … We need him to have his best game against Indiana.”
  • On Legend Bey: “He’s taken some steps in the right direction, for sure, and he’s built some momentum. So we’d like to have another good week with him.”
