But Day says maintaining &#8220;competitive stamina&#8221; is one of the main talking points for the Buckeyes this year.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tOn the battle between the offense and defense in practice, Day says &#8220;scheme is very important but effort and pad level and toughness&#8221; may be even more so.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\t&#8220;You have high hopes for everybody&#8221; when preseason camp starts.  Day says he wasn&#8217;t necessarily more excited to see one position group than another.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tOn the tight ends, Day says the group &#8220;has a chance to have some good depth right there.&#8221;  Day says &#8220;it&#8217;ll be a really important three weeks there.&#8221;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tOn CJ Hicks, Day says &#8220;it almost looks like he&#8217;s one of the guys that&#8217;s been around for a while &#8230; you don&#8217;t think of him as a freshman anymore. At least we don&#8217;t.&#8221;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tDay says he&#8217;s told Miyan Williams and Evan Pryor to make their reps count in the preseason and to &#8220;let their reps speak for you.&#8221;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tOn freshmen OL Tegra Tshabola and Carson Hinzman, Day says positionally, Justin Frye is going to start them at tackle and then go from there.  Day says when the time is right to move them inside, the time will be right.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tOn Kyle McCord and Devin Brown: &#8220;You&#8217;ve gotta develop those guys. They&#8217;re gonna get plenty of reps. They&#8217;re gonna get reps with the ones, they&#8217;re gonna get reps with the twos.&#8221;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\t&#8220;Our offense hasn&#8217;t done anything. We gotta go prove ourselves. &#8230; That doesn&#8217;t just happen.&#8221;  However, Day says &#8220;if we can play complementary football this year, that gives us the chance to win our first game.&#8221;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tDay says Jim Knowles has been impressed with the extra work done by personnel on the defense.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\t&#8220;The good news is, a lot of our younger guys have a lot of experience, so that&#8217;s exciting,&#8221; Day says he can&#8217;t get too carried away with expectations heading into the season.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tDay says by next Saturday, he&#8217;ll have a good idea of \u200b\u200bwhere the team has grown since the spring.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tOhio State is still waiting on an answer about USC transfer kicker Parker Lewis.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tDay on the wide receiver room: &#8220;Julian Fleming had the best offseason he&#8217;s had to this point. He was an iron Buckeye, he was most improved.&#8221;  Day mentions Egbuka and Kamryn Babb among other wideouts who have stood out in summer workouts.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tDay says Jordan Hancock and Kye Stokes are going to play for the Buckeyes this season, and are important for depth in the defensive backfield.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tDay on the first day of fall camp: &#8220;It&#8217;s the first step in a long, long journey.&#8221;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tDay says Ohio State&#8217;s players have both &#8220;stars&#8221; and &#8220;scars&#8221; from winning and losing games last year.  On the Notre Dame game: &#8220;It certainly isn&#8217;t gonna overwhelm anybody.&#8221;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tOn Tyleik Williams, Day says he changed his body over the offseason and &#8220;flashes&#8221; for the Buckeyes.  Day wants to see him &#8220;take the next step&#8221; over the next week.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\t&#8220;I think the whole defensive line unit has a lot of talent and great depth.&#8221;  Day says players have to step up and be tough and accountable.  &#8220;I&#8217;m hoping there&#8217;s probably four or five in that defensive tackle room&#8221; that could play important roles.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tMoving into the hotel for camp allows the Buckeyes to not be distracted as camp begins, Day says.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\t\tOn Kam Babb, Day says he&#8217;s &#8220;100 percent&#8221; healthy.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>                <!-- .article-tools --><\/p>\n<div class=\"view view-related-articles view-id-related_articles view-display-id-block view-front-page-cover view-dom-id-df160e8840162cc315496ec8e9fca028\">\n<div class=\"view-content\">\n<div class=\"views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first\">\n<div class=\"cover-image\">          <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"views-row views-row-2 views-row-even views-row-last\">\n<div class=\"cover-image\">        <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.elevenwarriors.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/489x275\/public\/c\/2022\/08\/132013_h.jpg?resize=489%2C275&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"489\" height=\"275\" alt=\"Ohio State - Notre Dame\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/node-article --><\/p><\/div>\n<p>    <!--\/.main region --><\/p>\n<aside role=\"complementary\" id=\"main-sidebar\" class=\"small-12 medium-12 large-3 columns\">\n<section id=\"block-block-8\" class=\"block block-block block-block-8 clearfix\">\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"block-poll-recent\" class=\"block block-poll block-poll-recent clearfix\">\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"block-views-recent-posts-block\" class=\"block block-views block-views-recent-posts-block clearfix\">\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"block-block-23\" class=\"block block-block block-block-23 clearfix\">\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"block-block-24\" class=\"block block-block block-block-24 clearfix\">\n<\/section>\n<\/aside><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Football is back at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
