With a new coach and a new quarterback leading the way, the Ohio State football team opened spring practice Wednesday morning at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Ryan Day, who took over as head coach after the Rose Bowl, led the proceedings, along with five new assistant coaches.
Georgia transfer Justin Fields took first team reps at quarterback as the new-look Buckeyes worked through on-field drills for the first time. Overall, though, it looked like business as usual in Columbus.
