There will be no tackling in Saturday's spring game.
After saying Monday that Ohio State had not yet determined whether there would be tackling in Saturday's intrasquad exhibition, Ryan Day said Thursday night on 97.1 The Fan that the coaching staff had made the decision not to allow tackling in this year's spring game.
“We’ve actually done a good amount of tackling this spring, more than I can ever remember,” Day said. “There’s been three or four practices where we’ve had 60-plus snaps of guys getting tackled to the ground and live scrimmages, because we’re so far behind fundamentally, just coming off of last year.
