Ryan Day sent shockwaves throughout the state of Ohio Monday afternoon. Fans were left stupefied when Ohio State’s head coach revealed Justin Fields has been named the starting quarterback.
For those who have regularly watched American football, the dual-threat transfer from Georgia was the obvious choice to become the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback, despite the coach-speak we heard from Day in the early stages of camp. Former Wildcat Gunnar Hoak is a fine player, but the job was Fields’ to win. Day used the pressure of a quarterback competition to force Fields to take his game to the next level.
