Exactly. The blueprint is right there in #4, who by all accounts does everything the right way and was a difference maker from day 1.

So the standard is the best college football player to ever play for Ohio State outside of maybe Orlando Pace and Archie.

That’s a pretty high bar.

Maybe he’s not good enough? That’d be better than him being good enough. The point being, if he really is what they say he is then the coaches need to figure it out because not playing a top play maker only hurts the team.

but maybe he’s not as good as they say? Who knows, but then maybe don’t say we have Tyreke Hill 2.0 if you don’t want questions.

Coaches job to get kids ready. So whether that’s ball security, decision making, learning the playbook, etc. they need to figure it out if he’s really that good (again, maybe he’s not but then just say it) because the offense needs someone else to step up to take pressure off #4.

It’s nice having a consistent run game but that explosive threat is still missing.

I’ll jump in to try to explain. Two things can be true.

1) He is THAT good.

And

2) He is not doing what the coaches have asked in order to earn the playing time and show his talent.

Coaches can’t stop him from being late or taking lazy practice reps or posting dumb social media things or any other off-field immaturity things he may have going on.*

*that is speculation and random examples. I have no insight - the kid isn’t breaking laws but Day has clearly challenged him to PRACTICE better.

I want the offense to find another spark. I’m rooting for him to get on the field bad. I think Bey is going to be special (here or elsewhere)…but there’s a team culture and expectation of earning things the hard way. That hasn’t happened.

Don't waste your time with somebody who states outright that he refuses to understand such an obvious and simple concept.

I didn't say standard - I said blueprint. Literally approach the craft like the arguably greatest ever to do it....and if the talent is really there to be on the field getting snaps the rest takes care of itself.

I think the standard is Bo and Isaiah last year. They started or played a lot but struggled to pass block and break big runs. Clearly, though, they put in the work and were trusted. Hell, Boyd and CHJr are already getting a ton of snaps, so there’s no question Bey would be out there if they thought he was ready.

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.

This will be Legend’s big chance to show off what he feels are the talents he can demonstrate to prove he should be the #1 RB.
not to mention his upcoming claim to be the absolute best running back/ player in the history of Ohio State football.
