Gives me more vibes of Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown. Though I'd love the success of either backfield

Funny you mention that. I had a call with Brown last week and although the last thing I was going to do was ask him about football (I'm assuming that's what he usually gets), I looked him up in advance. I didn't know/remember that he was the second pick in the 2005 draft. Crazy how the RB position value has changed in the NFL over the last twenty years.

That’s a crazy story, and yeah I usually don’t bring up sports when in a professional setting with a former athlete. Unless they bring it up first.
But the RB position has become very expendable. It also should be noted that Cadillac Williams was the #5 pick in the same draft… RBs now in the NFL are lucky to even get a 2nd contract. It’s smart that these 2 are willing to share the workload to get fresher legs for the season and at the next level

“I think the way things turned out last year, it kind of went into the first couple games of the season, that's not ideal,” Day said. “I wouldn't like to do that again this year. But it's going to come down to playing the best players.”
During Wednesday's interview, Day did not specifically address where Ohio State’s quarterbacks currently stand on the depth chart. Coming out of spring, Kansas State transfer Will Howard appeared to be the frontrunner for the job with Brown as his top competition, though redshirt freshman Lincoln Kienholz and true freshman Julian Sayin took just as many reps during the spring with true freshman Air Noland also seeing some action.
While Ohio State rotated the quarterbacks between units throughout the spring, Day acknowledged Wednesday that the Buckeyes will have to be more intentional about how they divvy up reps during preseason camp.
“There's been conversations about it for sure, and we're going to have to be creative,” Day said. “We've done some things. We had in the preseason (last year), had two fields going to make sure we're getting enough reps for everybody involved. But like you said, we're going to have to be really good and execute a good plan.”
Regardless of how the depth chart ultimately shakes out, Ohio State will have the advantage of excellent quarterback depth this season as none of the five scholarship quarterbacks who went through spring practices entered the transfer portal. Day believes that speaks to their desire to compete and get better.
“I say this all the time to some of the elite players, I say one of the recruiting pitches you're going to hear from other schools is ‘Don't go to Ohio State, they're loaded.’ Well, Marvin Harrison, it didn't matter to him that there was four five-stars in that room, or the fact that TreVeyon (Henderson) embraced when Quinshon came in and Quinshon came in knowing TreVeyon was going to be here,” Day said. “It's the same thing in that quarterback room. If you want to come to Ohio State, you're going to want to compete. That's the way we do it in the offseason, that's the way we do it on the field, we want to compete at the highest level.
“The cool thing is if you make it here, you’ll make it anywhere. But I think what's most important about the quarterbacks room is they have to feel like they're getting better, that they're getting developed, because that's just as important as anything as a quarterback. You can go to a lot of places, maybe you can play, but are you really getting developed? I think these guys believe in that.”

The fact that the writer didn't even bring up Brandon Inniss, or Bryson Rodgers is laughable. OSU is #1 and I don't think its that close

Too soon old, too late smart
Totally agree with pundits that tOSU's WR room is loaded. However, the experience factor is limited. With the exception of Emeka and Ballard, there's a big drop off between potential and proven performance. Potential is out of sight, but until these young guys get smacked in the face by some of the experienced CBs they'll face, still up for conjecture. For my take, strongly believe that tOSU's receivers will rise to the occasion and perform at a high level. Also expect that the highest performing receiver this year won't be Emeka (who will still do very well), but someone unexpected. Go Bucks!

Broken Records: This Ohio State rushing record may stand forever
No Buckeye team has come within 200 yards of the school’s all-time record in this category.

Broken Records: This Ohio State rushing record may stand forever
No Buckeye team has come within 200 yards of the school’s all-time record in this category.:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73424146/usa_today_7823619.0.jpg)
Even the great Corny Greene’s powerful rushing teams couldn’t come close to threatening an OSU record that may never fall.
The Ohio State Buckeyes did something on Sept. 27, 1930 that not only hasn’t been done since, but it seems unlikely to ever be done again. That 1930 squad, playing the first September game ever at Ohio Stadium, defeated Mount Union, 59-0. Ohio State has won other games by that score, including a notable Big Ten title game, but that wasn’t the most remarkable thing fans saw that day.
The Buckeyes rolled for nine touchdowns that day, starting with a Wes Fesler score. But again, nine touchdowns is something Ohio State has done since and surpassed.
Ohio State rushed for an incredible 718 yards in the Pop Warner offense that coach Sam Willaman installed. Not only has no OSU team been able to equal that feat, there hasn’t even been an instance of the Buckeyes getting within 200 yards of that mark. Ohio State has gotten no closer than 517 yards rushing in any game since then, and the Buckeyes have done that twice.
Even though the innovation of the forward pass has made the achievement more unlikely, there have been many rush-only OSU offenses that haven’t come close. Some of those offenses were powerful and included many players who have written their names in the history books.
Some of those rushing juggernaut teams existed in the modern (adjacent) era. The 1974 team, featuring Archie Griffin, Jeff Logan, Cornelius Greene, and Pete Johnson, is the last Ohio State team to “threaten” the record, tying for second in school history with 517 yards on the ground at home against Illinois in a 49-7 win on Nov. 2 of that year.
OK, that was 50 years ago. That’s a long time, but at least it’s within living memory, even if only for those of us who were kids at that time.

Right side of the Ohio State football team's offensive line is concerning Ryan Day

Right side of the Ohio State football team's offensive line is concerning Ryan Day
The Ohio State football team has an offensive line that isn't solid. Some parts of it are concerning Ryan Day.
The Ohio State football team will have an improved offense this season thanks to some new additions from the transfer portal. Adding Will Howard and Quinshon Judkins to the offense will make the team more explosive on that side of the field. Their ceiling will be higher as an offense.
Despite all of the explosive pieces that they have on that side of the ball, the offensive line is the most important unit on the team. They were the worst unit on the team by far. The tackles were especially bad in the regular season finale against Michigan. They couldn't protect Kyle McCord from getting the pocket pushed.
It's something that is concerning Ryan Day still. When he spoke to the media most recently, he expressed concern over the right side of the offensive line. That side still has some starters that are up in the air. It seems that Josh Fryar will either start at right guard or right tackle.
There are three other offensive linemen who are still trying to vie for a starting spot. Carson Hinzman, Seth McLaughlin, and Luke Montgomery are still trying to fight for three spots. More than likely, it will be Montgomery who is the odd man out but there is still time to change that.

In the end, it should be McLaughlin at center, Hinzman at guard, and Fryar at tackle. Personally, I believe Montgomery should start over Fryar, but that's probably not going to happen. He might have to wait another year to get his chance.

Burning Question: How will the Ohio State running back rotation work?
With two of the most talented RBs in the nation, what could go wrong?

Burning Question: How will the Ohio State running back rotation work?
With two of the most talented RBs in the nation, what could go wrong?:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73440698/1903204575.0.jpg)
Most of you reading this headline are probably thinking, “How is THIS a burning question?” And with that, I sort of agree with you. There are definitely more pressing issues on this team. However, we have seen before how having too much talent can almost be too much of a good thing. Will that be the case for the running back room?
I don’t think it will be a problem, but I am interested in how running backs coach Carlos Locklyn and the rest of the offensive staff determine how they want to use TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins. Ryan Day revealed in a press conference earlier this year that they will both be on the field every game, as they will more so be co-RB1s than RB1 and RB2, which makes sense.
These are two of the best backs in the entire country. Henderson racked up 926 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 156 carries last year. Judkins rushed for 1,158 yards and 15 TDs on 271 carries.
Reminder that Henderson did all of that while missing three games with an injury and with other RBs being used — mainly Chip Trayanum, who has since transferred to Kentucky in the offseason.
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25515601/1888257126.jpg)
Both Henderson and Judkins have stated how excited they are to play with each other, and how they both believe that it will greatly benefit the team to have both of them contributing. The pair have each had a ton of individual success in their collegiate careers, and I think they both want to experience that team success they have been missing out on.
