Overview

• Ryan Day has not set a timetable for selecting between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz, saying he needs more information from remaining camp work before naming a starter.
• Julian Sayin is widely viewed as the favorite to win the job, but Lincoln Kienholz has made it a genuine two-man competition through leadership and earning the Iron Buckeye honor.
• Day compared the current quarterback battle to the 2018 Dwayne Haskins–Joe Burrow contest and emphasized that the final decision will hinge on on-field performance.
• The coach called the Sept. 1 home opener against No. 1 Texas a “monster” game and plans to disrupt the Longhorns’ clap cadence by making Ohio Stadium the loudest it’s ever been.
• Projected starting defensive tackle Eddrick Houston suffered a non-contact knee issue in camp, has returned to individual work and faces an uncertain timeline for joining full-team drills.
