Ohio State football’s 2019 spring practice officially kicks off today as Ryan Day leads the Buckeyes into his first season as a collegiate head coach. As the team gets back onto the field, they bring with them an inordinate amount of questions.
Gone is the three-time National Championship winning coach. Gone is the most prolific passing quarterback in school and conference history. Gone are three game-changing wide receivers. Gone are two devastating defensive lineman.
In their place we have a first-time head coach; an almost entirely new defensive coaching staff; a quarterback recruit who enrolled at OSU about six weeks ago; and a ton of young talent chomping at the bit to get on the field and prove their worth.
As the Buckeyes work their way through the first week of spring practice, we will bring you a slate of articles looking at the team — and its key players and coaches — from all imaginable angles. Over the next seven days (leading up to the tip off of the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament), we will cover spring ball as only Land-Grant Holy Land does.
