Columbus, OhioOn the other side of the football field, Ohio State quarterbacks could be heard.
Coach Ryan Day and his staff treasure that seemingly insignificant insight from the Buckeyes’ second preseason camp on Friday.
Whether it’s sophomore Julian Sayin or junior Lincoln Kienholz, Ohio State wants its quarterback to have a strong cadence.
I constantly criticize these guys for their cadence. Day told Rece Davis of ESPN in a recent interview. The cadence should be audible from the parking lot across the street. If not, return to the huddle and we will repeat the process.
“You must speak from down here,” Day continued, gesturing beneath his chest.

Because of this, it’s critical that White 80’s cries are heard during preseason camp, despite the media and fans chattering around the practice field.

On a morning when few 11-on-11 throws traveled more than 10 yards down the field, we discovered the following about Ohio State’s top two quarterbacks outside of their voices.
-
Sayin was efficient, completing approximately 10 of his 13 passes in 11-on-11 drills.
-
Kienholz did not complete passes as effectively as Sayin, though his first 11-on-11 pass was dropped by Bryson Rodgers.
-
Both quarterbacks got the tight ends involved, often on plays designed for the position.
-
Sayin s best completion of the day came in a seven-on-seven drill. He dotted a pass to the back corner of the end zone for a completion to Quincy Porter.
-
Kienholz did the same in his seven-on-seven drills, completing a similar pass to Carnell Tate in the corner of the end zone.
