Buckeyes reveal unavailable players for spring game
COLUMBUS — Ohio State might be just now wrapping up its spring practice.
But that doesn’t mean the Buckeyes aren’t already looking ahead at what comes next in the fall. So after not tackling for a few spring games under coach Ryan Day, Ohio State will be going with a more physical brand of spring game on Saturday.
The preparation for Notre Dame is already underway. Day and his coaching staff are already thinking ahead.
“The first game of the year, we play Notre Dame at home,” Day said. “We have to be ready to roll.
“Once you start getting into the preseason, you get closer and closer to that first game, you start to really hold your breath because you don’t want to lose guys. But we have to tackle. We have to play physical. We have to play tough. If we want to reach our goals this year, we’re going to have to be that way and play that way. So, we’ll do that on Saturday.”
