Youth is a funny concept.
In material age, debate can range as to what is considered “young” and what isn’t. Maybe a person is viewed as an adult once they’ve passed college age. Perhaps when one turns 30, one isn’t considered as young anymore. Maybe it’s 40, 50 or the retirement age of 65.
No matter where one's perspective stands on that, 72 years on this tumbling blue marble – the age of Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson – is a lot. That’s why it may strike someone’s ear as odd that Ryan Day referred to Johnson as “young” in his press conference on Wednesday.
