Ryan Day's Passing Attack Paired with Chip Kelly's Rushing Attack

Some skeptics once said Ryan Day started at third base when he took over for Urban Meyer, but last Friday, he hit a home run.

While Bill O'Brien was an outstanding hire for Ohio State at the time given his experience and ability to lead an offense, Chip Kelly replacing O'Brien – who had since left for the Boston College head coaching job – as OSU's offensive coordinator could be an even bigger addition to Day's offense.

In hiring the former UCLA head coach, the Buckeyes have combined a head coach with tremendous passing expertise with Kelly, who has a history of leading elite rushing attacks.
