After the tight rotations Ohio State employed against Notre Dame, a number of Buckeye backups and highly-touted freshmen could see their first action of the season in Week 2.
“I think in this first game, just the way it played out with the number of plays, number of possessions, there really wasn't much of an opportunity to get guys in the game. I think that as the season goes on there'll be more of an opportunity to do that,” Day said during a press conference Thursday. “Certainly on special teams, but on offense and defense as well. We have some talented guys out there. But we'll see.
Notre Dame ran just 20 plays in the second half, which left the Buckeye defensive coaching staff with just 50 snaps to share between its on-field personnel. And there wasn’t a whole lot of sharing going on. But a season-opening matchup with the No. 5 team in the country – and under the lights at the Shoe, no less – was hardly the time for Ohio State to clear its benches. Especially in a game that the Buckeyes trailed at the half. If all goes according to plan against the Red Wolves, though, there should be plenty more Buckeyes on the field for the second game of the season.
On offense, a lopsided halftime score may even lead to the first action of the season from sophomore quarterback Kyle McCord and the first-ever collegiate appearance ofpasser Devin Brown. McCord was named the Buckeyes’ backup ahead of the season opener and has 38 career pass attempts under his belt already, but Brown impressed during the spring and could show his potential late against an overmatched Arkansas State team.
“So whenever they have an opportunity to get in the game and play, they gotta be competitive excellence just like everybody else. And I know they're working hard to prepare for that moment.”
