Most Pressing Questions Facing Ryan Day, Ohio State After Week 1

Here are some of the topics that Ryan Day will likely be asked about Tuesday afternoon during his weekly press conference

The Ohio State Buckeyes opened the year with a solid win, albeit not a blowout at Indiana last weekend. As they turn their attention to Saturday's game against Youngstown State, Ryan Day has a number of pressing questions that need answers soon. 

Has he essentially decided that Kyle McCord is QB1 this year (and not just last week), and if he hasn't decided that, what is the thought process behind such little playing time for Devin Brown against the Hoosiers? Day told the media last Tuesday that Brown was going to play meaningful snaps in the opener and that the gap between him and McCord was "not sizeable."

How did the coaching staff evaluate the offensive line play on Saturday? Will we continue to see a lot of 2-tight end packages, or were the Buckeyes running a scheme against IU that they thought made Kyle McCord comfortable to open the year? Why did Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka only combine for only five catches and 34 yards, including zero catches for Harrison after the first quarter? What will it take for Chip Trayanum to get more carries? Should he be the starting running back?

Brendan Gulick and Anthony Moeglin dive into what they expect Ryan Day to discuss during Tuesday afternoon's press conference at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on this morning's edition of Buckeye Breakdown!
