Overview

• The Buckeyes will practice through Sept. 19, take two days off, then begin a normal week Sept. 21 ahead of the Sept. 27 trip to Washington.
• Day labeled the 2-for-6 red-zone showing against Ohio a lack of execution and put fundamentals at the center of the week’s plan.
• Special teams remain a concern, with punt-return issues called a red flag and evaluations that have included Jeremiah Smith in the return role.
• Freshman running back Bo Jackson leads the team in rushing through three games after 109 yards vs. Ohio, prompting plans to increase his workload.
• Offensive-line rotations continue—Tegra Tshabola had two penalties vs. Ohio as Ethan Onianwa drew praise for improvement—entering a four-game run with three road games.
