Kevin Woidke, a walkon tackle in 2015, has been awarded a full scholarship his Sr. season. Kevin has been a regular on special teams and FG units. Expect to see this 6-6 310 OT earn time in the regular rotation this season.

I don’t see a thread for 2020 recruiting, but Trey Leroux, from Norwalk, received an offer from Ryan Day and tOSU today.

Expect to see this 6-6 310 OT earn time in the regular rotation this season. There's not a lot of "rotating" done on the O-line. The cohesiveness of the unit is paramount. However, very good backups are important due to the inevitable injury.

I'm encouraged by the talk from from coach Day and Yurcich of incorporating under center snaps into the offense. The running game will be much more effective and play action much more difficult to read. The key is using it in an unpredictable manner, not just key short yardage situations.

Who all watched the Spring Game the other day? The QB play was atrocious, all y'all Tate Martell haters are eating a ton of crow right now. Martell would have run circles around those 3. Are we looking at a Luke Fickell year? What type of record would get Day fired after 1 year. What if he goes 6-6 like Fickell, does he keep his job?

Funny, didn't see anything from either of the QB's that causes alarm. In fact, nothing in particular, O or D side of the ball exposed any glaring inadequacies. Found it humorous, the no tackle rule didn't apply to receivers, there was some big time shots and some body slams going on.....lol

No one asked him to leave. I reckon if he thought he was better he would have stayed. Also, Spring Game. It's just a glorified practice.

LOL at no nothing Dumbo when it comes to Tate Martel's spring game performance. Neither Ohio State QB was much more "atrocious" than Haskins' 9 of 19 in last year's glorified practice. Dumbo, I'll take $1000 on Ohio State doing better than 6-6. Currently the line has Ohio State winning 10.5 games. The most interesting quote from Day this spring was, "There will be a lot more running plays called for the QB's this year than there was for Haskins last year."

With the non-conference slate full of cupcakes and a friendly league schedule outside of the last two weeks. There’s no reason at all OSU shouldn’t be undefeated.

Why would this surprise you? He’s looking at a two year wait to possibly start. This isn’t 1995 anymore if a kid doesn’t play they are not going to sit around and wait. I don’t like it but that’s the times and the transfer rules which OSU benefitted from with Fields. Make it even more appealing because chances are you’ll be immeadeately eligable.

I assume Baldwin got a medical red shirt last year rehabbing his knee. He could apply for another redshirt this year sitting behind Fields, unless Fields gets injured. Which means he would be a redshirt Soph when Fields leaves, like Haskins was last year. Baldwin MUST be afraid of the QB coming in behind him. Hell, Baldwin was Day's personal recruit.

I don’t like it but that’s the times and the transfer rules which OSU benefitted from with Fields. Make it even more appealing because chances are you’ll be immeadeately eligable. Well it surprises me because of Baldwin's history, and the things he said in the fall. But it doesn't shock me, for the reasons you mentioned. I did think he was going to stay tho, so I am surprised. There was really no indication that he was leaning this way. All indications are that Baldwin is simply home sick. That is what is being reported. Couple of thoughts: 1) Baldwin was going to wait at least two years like you said but he waited in High School to start 1-year and he could have been looking at (2) full seasons starting. Maybe one of those with Garrett Wilson. 2) Rumors also swirl that Day told Baldwin after the Spring Game that he would be the #2. No one is certain how much a role this is playing in his transfer, but the timing and unexpectedness of this announcement would make it seem that it is at least a factor that it was getting to be obvious that Fields is going to be the guy. 3) Also might say something about what the coaching staff thinks of Jack Miller if Baldwin *maybe* was uncertain of even getting to start after Fields leaves in (we assume) 2-years. Generally there is a feel for a transfer like this down here but we were all kind of blind-sided by it. Makes it seem like it wasn't in the works for very long. But it is being said that being homesick is playing a large part in his decision to transfer...I guess we will see where he ends up and we will know how true that is. He probably does feel isolated, ya know? They wouldn't even let him run scout team last year.

This unexpected announcement leaves me shocked. This is a fine thank you for all the work and assistance by the Ohio State medical and coaching staff in working him through rehab. To pull the plug on his team, knowing the tenuous situation he is imposing on the team at this most inopportune time is unsettling, to say the least.
Ohio State's recruiting strategy can take some of the blame for this situation as well. Not a single QB in the incoming 2019 class and one QB in the developing 2020 class. Well folks, you've got a major predicament on your hands.

I blame the ncaa and the new free agency. It’s all a bunch of bullpoop. I said a long time ago i thought martell would of been our qb this year and have done the job for us. He was there going thru everything for 2 years and new the system, then thanks to the wonderful portal in comes fields which imo needs to prove to me to be able to back up the 5* rating before i believe in him. I don’t blame martell one bit for him entering the wonderful portal. The ncaa has turned college football as we know it into a farce. Jmo

Baldwin was horrendous last Saturday. Fields was 4-13 and he looked light years better than Baldwin. It’s obvious none of you watched the spring game, then again this site is the one that tried to tell me JT Barrett was a better QB than Dwayne Haskins in 2017. Then when Stanley Jackson agreed with me in 2017 and he said Haskins was the best QB on the team, he was called a bum and I was a bum for quoting him cuz JT was the best. I won’t be shocked if this is a Luke Fickell 6-6 repeat. None of our QBs could throw the ball Saturday, we will have to rely solely on the run to win games unless Fields vastly improves by September.

any thoughts on Martell's play at the Miami Spring Game?
anyone expecting another season like Haskins had last year will probably be disappointed...for the rest of their lives

Urban and Tress were exceptional at keeping depth pieces on the roster. Those days may be over. It’s kind of amusing to see Day bumble himself into a self induced mess so early in his tenure. Ohio State had a 4* QB in the 2019 class until Day botched it by lying to him about Fields. Miller is in the 2020 class but Ohio State is now in a bind. They need to take two Qb’s in this class either via transfer or out of high school. High end QB’s usually get unhappy when they are not the only QB their school takes in a class.

Much of this is ado about nothing. If we had never gotten Fields probably one of either Tate or Baldwin would have ended up transferring anyway and we would have been left with Tate/Baldwin and Chugs.
I'll take Fields and worry about his backup later.
QB Depth at powerhouse schools is over. OSU ain't the only team that will struggle to build depth at the QB position moving forward. I'm more concerned with the QB starting than the QB backing up, but it is def a hole that needs filled.

It's beyond comprehension, that one of the very elite programs in all of college football can manage to get themselves into such a dire situation. A long list of transfers and de-commits has led them to this point of surviving on life support, at the most critical position on the team. Not a good situation to be handed for a new coaching staff (or a veteran coaching staff, for that matter.)
The frantic search is on, for a viable backup. I have these lingering thoughts that the answer may already be on the current roster. I know we have several athletes that played QB at a high level in high school, but were recruited for another position, such as WR or DB. Do we have a Micah Hyde on this team? We've seen these types of internal reassignment's, done at both the college and pro level. It's a total given, this option is being explored at this very moment, by the hyperventilating coaches and staff, perhaps even Urban is seeing involvement in the process.

Where are you pulling the Micah hyde reference from? Micah never played offense at Iowa. He did return kicks but never played offense for the Hawkeyes. I do get the idea you’re after because no transfer that’s worthwhile is going to touch OSU. When you transfer your looking for playing time and it’s not available at OSU.

You are correct, but Micah was the first collegiate that came to mind. All-Ohio QB in h.s. days and recruited by some schools on that side of the ball. He never played on the offensive side in college, but my hypothetical was he had the ablility to adapt in a serious situation as we are experiencing with the Buckeyes. My hunch is, we have a couple new faces working with the QB coach this week. No doubt, they are exploring all available options at this point.
