Going into his first season as Ohio State’s quarterbacks coach, Corey Dennis’ most important job hasn’t necessarily been the development of starting quarterback Justin Fields, but the development of the rest of the quarterbacks on the depth chart.
Fields was already one of the best quarterbacks in the country last season, and he’s worked hard this offseason – often on his own time – toward perfecting his craft. While Dennis will be directly responsible for coaching Fields this season, Fields often worked individually with head coach Ryan Day during the offseason, and there’s no concern from anyone in the program about Fields being ready to play at a high level when the Buckeyes open their season against Nebraska next week.
