COLUMBUS — Second thoughts and observations on Ohio State’s spring game after rewatching the Big Ten Network broadcast.

My favorite Julian Sayin play

Sayin only played three drives. He didn’t have a ton of time to throw. He didn’t get to push it down the field in quite the same way as Tavien St. Clair did. They had entirely different spring game scripts, and that’s OK.

There’s not really anywhere to throw the ball, and something is off with the spacing because receivers Brandon Inniss and David Adolph practically run into each other. But there is green space to attack, and Sayin takes it.
