Quick Hits: Chip Kelly Says Ohio State Will “Start to Hone In On” a QB Pecking Order Soon, Devin Brown Calls the Competition “No Different Than Last Year”
The second Quick Hits of Ohio State's 2024 season has arrived.
After an article that covered comments from Emeka Egbuka, Jack Sawyer and Denzel Burke at Big Ten Media Days, Eleven Warriors' fast-paced bullet-point recaps of Ohio State's coach and player availabilities makes its preseason camp debut with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and the Buckeyes' quarterbacks, who met with the media after OSU’s fifth practice of camp on Tuesday.
Among the topics discussed on the Woody Hayes Athletic Center indoor practice field, Kelly said Ohio State will "start to hone in" on a quarterback pecking order soon, Will Howard discussed how he would lead Ohio State's offense this fall, Devin Brown and Lincoln Kienholz talked about their growth this offseason and freshmen Julian Sayin and Air Noland described how they've settled in after seven months on campus.
.
- Kelly said there isn’t a pecking order at quarterback yet but that Ohio State will likely “start to hone in on that” by the end of this week. He claimed that people should not read into Howard getting most of the first-team reps at Sunday’s practice, as the Buckeyes are still rotating quarterbacks between units.
- Kelly said he thinks Howard knows the offense better now than he did in the spring and is throwing the ball more confidently as a result. “I think Will has done a really good job really working on the playbook in the offseason, studying film so that he understands when there’s a play call made that he knows where to go with the football.”
- Kelly said Sayin “stays in the moment,” which Kelly likes. “If he throws a bad ball, it doesn’t bother him. If he throws a good ball, he doesn’t get overexcited and say, ’Hey, I just arrived.’”
- All five of Ohio State’s scholarship quarterbacks have been timed running faster than 20 miles per hour, Kelly said. Howard has been clocked running faster than 22 miles per hour.
- Kelly said Day showed the Buckeyes the video of Noah Lyles coming from behind to win the Olympic 100-meter dash on Sunday. “Coach Day showed that in a meeting, talked about where he was and how he finished. There was a great lesson there.”
