Ryan Day is the architect of the most devastating passing attack the Big Ten has ever seen, but when Ohio State's 2019 season kicks off, he'll be leaning on J.K. Dobbins and a powerful rushing attack to pace the Buckeyes offense.
That may feel like a departure from a winning strategy or stepping too far outside the brand, but for Day, it's the logical move.
Ohio State doesn't have the benefit of a returning starter at quarterback, or even a signal-caller who was on the roster this time a year ago. Day proved last season that he doesn't need an experienced signal-caller to get the Buckeyes' passing attack moving, but he had Dwayne Haskins, an NFL talent who had been entrenched in the program for three years.
