Day’s message to Buckeyes fans

Saturday’s spring game will be important for Ohio State on many levels. The Buckeyes are looking to showcase their progress through the spring so far. Last year, Ohio State went 11-2 overall and 8-1 against Big Ten opponents. The Buckeyes defeated Utah in the Rose Bowl to wrap up a good season.

“Hey Buckeye nation, looking forward to our spring game on Saturday. Hope to see a great crowd there,” Day said. “We’re very, very excited about this game, opportunity to see the 2022 Buckeyes in action. Looks like the weather is supposed to be really good. We got a bunch of people in town, recruits, former players. There will be a fan fest, we are going to recognize some of the former players during the game and going to have a really great halftime performance from our band.”

In addition to on the field progress, Ohio State will be honoring former quarterback Dwayne Haskins at the spring game. Haskins passed away last week after being struck by a vehicle, and his importance to the Buckeyes program is something that will not soon be forgotten.

Ohio State opens the 2022 season at home against Notre Dame.
