For the first time since fall camp ended, Ohio State assistants Larry Johnson, Ryan Day, and Tony Alford spoke with the media.
You can check out most of what they had to say in the videos below.
The Ohio State offense continues to evolve while taking advantage of lesser opponents over the course of the last three weeks, seemingly focusing on specific concepts each week. From creativity and tempo to completing the deep ball, each week has played out like its own chapter in an offensive playbook.
When it was announced on Saturday that Ohio State defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones wouldn’t be able to play on Saturday, that meant that one of Buckeyes’ many defensive ends would likely start in his place. That ended up being Jalyn Holmes, who played well like he always does. There were also times when defensive ends…
The Buckeyes were 16 points better against Oklahoma than they were two games ago against Clemson, but do you feel 16 points better about it? You shouldn’t, because losing 31-16 to Oklahoma is worse than losing 31-0 to Clemson. When the Buckeyes lost to Clemson, Urban Meyer knew what the problem was and he took…

For instance, Michigan still hasn’t released an official football roster despite being less than two weeks from playing their first game. A New Jersey newspaper has filed a FOIA request just for a glimpse. So you can imagine how begrudgingly coaches give out…
Junior linebacker Jerome Baker has spoken openly about the issues he had last season as a brand new starter on the Ohio State defense. He did the best he could, but he could have done so much better. Fortunately for both him and the Buckeye defense, Baker is an elite athlete, so he could make up for his mistakes with…
Once Tim Beck decided entirely on his own to leave Ohio State for Texas, Urban Meyer had to find the next-best quarterbacks coach in the country to replace him. His search ultimately brought him to Ryan Day, who he once employed as a graduate assistant back in his Florida Gator days. When Day got to Ohio State, he…
