"Basic" is a very relative term.
As Ryan Day met with the media one final time prior to last week's spring scrimmage inside Ohio Stadium, he tried to downplay expectations for his new-look defense. "It’ll be very, very basic," Day said of Jim Knowles' plan, noting "he’s not going to do a whole lot of his stuff in this game," and that the focus for the new-look Silver Bullets would instead be on fundamentals and effort.
For those of us who have spent the past five months studying what Knowles showed at Oklahoma State, we know that the Gray team barely scratched the surface of what we know is inside the veteran coach's playbook.
