Top Ohio State Buckeyes practice storylines 

Another major storyline for Buckeyes football entering Ohio State training camp will be how different will this offense be under Chip Kelly. Former Ohio State wide receiver Brian Hartline was the offensive coordinator last season but he was made the co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach this offseason when Ohio State initially hired Bill O’Brien. When O’Brien left to take the head coaching job at Boston College just a few weeks later, the Buckeyes made waves once again by hiring Kelly, the head coach at UCLA to fill the role.

Kelly won 25 games the last three seasons with the Bruins and was also a head coach of the Oregon Ducks, the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers. He’s widely considered one of the brightest offensive minds in the game and Day coached under Kelly at several stop throughout their careers. So how exactly will the offense change with Kelly at the helm and how will Hartline adjust to a more limited role after it was confirmed that Kelly would be calling plays this season? Get more updates on Ohio State football training camp at Bucknuts.com.

Another major storyline for Buckeyes football entering Ohio State training camp is that it appears the starting quarterback debate has already been settled. Kansas State transfer Will Howard has taken first-team reps throughout the first week of practice, just as he did during the Ohio State spring game.

Ryan Day still hasn’t made the decision official but the gap between Howard and third-year Ohio State backup Devin Brown appears to be widening. Howard played 34 games in his career at Kansas State before transferring and has thrown for 5,786 yards and 48 touchdowns with 25 interceptions. He’s also rushed for 19 touchdowns in his career and even added a score as a receiver in his final season with the Wildcats. Find out more about Ryan Day’s championship pursuit at Bucknuts.com.
