Why Ryan Day feels there still isn't a leader in Ohio State's quarterback battle Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

Ryan Day provided an update on how Ohio State's first scrimmage of fall camp went as it continues to prepare for the 2023 season.

No one expected him to name a starting quarterback, but there was a thought that he’d potentially reveal who may be starting to separate. Instead, he talked about what would need to happen for him to do so as Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis react.

Among the things the trio discussed on this Tuesday Buckeye Talk:

Neither Kyle McCord or Devin Brown have started separating n the quarterback battle, but should that be a reason for panic?
Day emphatic champions Treveyon Henderson as the former five-star running back enters his third season.
Day isn’t ready to name starters yet, but has OSU already found its best five on the offensive line
Where are the Buckeyes in the preseason Associated Press Poll and where would the BUckeye Talk crew have voted them?
