Gene Smith Confident Ryan Day, Ohio State Football Team Will Be Prepared for Season Even if Rest of Spring Practices Are Canceled

Going into his second season as Ohio State’s head football coach, Ryan Day is facing some very different challenges than he had to face in his first year leading the program.

After holding just three practices before spring break, Ohio State is facing the possibility of being unable to resume spring practices this year, as all organized team activities have been suspended by the Big Ten through at least April 6. At this point, it’s uncertain when the team will even be allowed to return to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, as Ohio State has also closed all of its athletic facilities until further notice due to the coronavirus outbreak.
