The first question Ryan Day received at Big Ten Media Days wasn’t a surprise. Sooner or later, the Buckeye head coach was destined to be peppered with inquiries about the quarterback position.
What did come as a surprise was the first name Day mentioned. Granted, he was asked in jest who Ohio State's backup quarterback would be by the start of the season, but Day began the QB talk with a true freshman that just arrived on campus this summer rather than diving into the hotly-contested battle between Kyle McCord and Devin Brown.
Lincoln Kienholz wasn’t an early enrollee and didn’t have time to learn the ropes of the Buckeye offense during spring camp.
