OHIO STATE BUCKEYES (APRIL 16)
11011365.jpeg


Ohio State should have the most electric offense in college football with star quarterback C.J Stroud returning and running back TreVeyon Henderson looking to vie for the Heisman. That is not to mention the ridiculous wide receiver talent the Buckeyes boat despite losing Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. But the real story to track for Ohio State is the defense’s improvement under new coordinator Jim Knowles. Defense was the only thing holding the Buckeyes back from being a national title contender in 2021, so if that unit can play at an average level this upcoming season, then OSU has as good a shot at anyone at the national title. Knowles’ squad will get all it can take when it matches up against Ohio State’s offense in a live setting at the spring game.

  • Day thanks the students for coming out on Saturday, says "this is kind of where you find out where guys are" nine practices into spring. Day says C.J. Hicks, Gabe Powers, Chip Trayanum, JK Johnson, Jordan Hancock and Cameron Martinez are among the young players that have stood out during the spring as of late.
  • On the Jack position, Day says the amount they will use it depends on how well the Buckeyes are able to execute it on the field, but Day says it's a "good package" for them at the moment.
  • Day says Steele Chambers is "much further along than he was at this time last year."
  • Day says Gee Scott was "out there today" and expects Scott and Kamryn Babb "to be available moving forward," despite not being on the field on Saturday.
  • On Lejond Cavazos not being on the field Saturday, Day didn't indicate that it was a long-term injury.
  • On Kyle McCord: "He wants to be at Ohio State. He's gonna be ready."
  • On the defensive line, Day says "the depth we've created is gonna be a huge advantage for us." Day says the second- and third-team players on the defensive line are further along than the second- and third-team players on the offensive line right now.
  • Day says he's "pleased with the first nine practices" that Devin Brown has put together so far this spring.
  • Day says he hasn't seen a change in C.J. Stroud as a person over the last year, and that you can "see his humility" and his appreciation for all the support he got from the students on Saturday.
  • On Scott, Day says the more "job descriptions" you can cross off as a tight end, the more you will get on the field. Day says "it takes a little time to learn those jobs."
  • Day says the Buckeyes are doing "some, but not a ton" of preparation specifically for Notre Dame at this stage in the offseason.
  • On Tim Walton and Perry Eliano, Day says "they've done a good job, both of them. Larry (Johnson) as well."
  • On the big recruiting weekend, Day says "I think it was a great recruiting weekend ... the idea is that when guys want to commit, they're done. There's some guys that are really close (to committing)."
  • On Tommy Eichenberg, Day says his Rose Bowl performance has "given him some momentum, for sure." Day says his reps are starting to add up, and the Buckeyes are hoping he takes a big step up this season.
  • Day says "we do need to get more depth on the offensive line. That's for sure."
  • Day says Babb had "a little bump in the road that we were worried about," but that Ohio State will get him back "in a couple weeks."
  • Day says Stroud and Luke Wypler now have "a reference point to come back to" as returning starters at QB and center, and that "it matters to them."
  • "It's hard to play nowadays as a freshman if you don't come mid-year. ... Each guy has to understand their journey could be different than the guy next to them, but the end goal is the same."

Day says C.J. Hicks (LB), Gabe Powers (LB), Chip Trayanum (LB), JK Johnson (CB), Jordan Hancock (CB) and Cameron Martinez (SAF) are among the young players that have stood out during the spring as of late.

The good news is that all the players mentioned as ones that "stood out" are defensive players. However, the offensive was pretty much set, so I doubt that the new guys on offense got as many 1st team reps as the new guys on defense.

How does OSU's O-line -- led by starters Paris Johnson Jr., Donovan Jackson, Luke Wypler, Matthew Jones and Dawand Jones look against the Buckeyes' defensive front, which is led by the likes of J.T. Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Zach Harrison, Tyleik Williams, Jerron Cage, Taron Vincent and others? You can judge for yourself.

Ryan Day says Ohio State will do something during Saturday’s spring game to honor Dwayne Haskins. They are still deciding exactly how they will do so.

They're going to invite TTUN to come play against Ohio State. The final score will be 62-39. (Except I'm hoping that this time, we go for the last touchdown as time expires, and the 2-point conversion.)

College football position battles to watch going forward as 2022 spring practices conclude

Ohio State: Cornerback
Spring Game: April 16
Names to know: Denzel Burke, Cameron Brown, Jakailin Johnson, Jordan Hancock

The Buckeyes pass defense struggled last year, ranking No. 96 nationally and 12th out of 14 teams in the Big Ten. The inability to rush the passer and defend on the back end prompted Ryan Day to hire defensive coordinator Jim Knowles away from Oklahoma State, bringing a major focus to the Ohio State defense this spring. Burke played more snaps than anyone on the Buckeyes defense last year, so he figures to be in one spot, but there's a real battle going on between Cameron Brown, Jakailin Johnson and Jordan Hancock for time. The way Knowles would like to have the secondary set up, the safety and nickel positions are deep and likely spoken for, including a claim by former Oklahoma State star Tanner McCallister.
