COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — At the start of his eighth season as Ohio State football head coach, Ryan Day is looking for his eighth consecutive AP top 10 finish, including No. 5 last season when the Buckeyes fell short of defending their 2024 national championship.
Day expressed concerns about the offensive line after the first preseason practice, noting it was a sore point throughout the offseason following losses to Indiana and Miami.
Four starters return, but adjustments are being made, including Austin Siereveld's move to right guard to evaluate Ian Moore at left tackle. Day also mentioned the tight end position and the depth at receiver as areas of interest as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
瑞安·戴：俄亥俄州立大学首场2026年训练后进攻线仍然是关键问题
俄亥俄州哥伦布（美联社）——在他作为俄亥俄州立大学足球主教练的第八个赛季开始时，瑞安·戴希望获得第八个连续的美联社前十名，包括上赛季的第五名，当时巴克艾斯未能捍卫他们的2024年全国冠军。
戴在首场季前训练后对进攻线表示担忧，指出这是整个休赛期的一个痛点，因为球队在对印第安纳州和迈阿密的比赛中失利。
四名首发球员回归，但正在进行调整，包括奥斯丁·西尔维尔转到右护锋以评估伊安·穆尔在左截锋的位置。戴还提到了紧端锋位置和接球手的深度，作为球队为即将到来的赛季做准备的关注点。
