Ryan Day says Ohio State will use offensive tempo as a weapon

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day announced on his radio show that the football team intends to utilize increased offensive tempo during the 2026 season. Operating under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, the Buckeyes are moving away from the slower pace employed in previous years. Day also cited improved depth on the offensive line, noting it is the most substantial since his arrival at the program. The team prepares for its season opener against Ball State, a game where the new offensive approach will receive its first test. Meanwhile, in other athletic department updates, Jared Sullinger has rejoined the basketball staff as director of player development. Soccer programs also saw recent success, with the No. 8 women's team defeating Princeton 4-0 and the No. 4 men's team securing a 5-0 victory over NKU.
