Ryan Day Needs to Urgently Address Buckeyes' Quarterback, Linemen Dilemmas

Here's what we want to hear from Ryan Day before Ohio State takes the field on Saturday afternoon.

As he does every Tuesday, Ryan Day will meet with the media to reflect on last week's performance against Youngstown State and begin looking ahead to Western Kentucky. At this point in the season, nearly every question Day is asked revolves around the Buckeyes - he's rarely asked about the team that they're playing the coming Saturday.

Here are the questions we most want answered from Day on Tuesday (although we aren't sure how straightforward of an answer we are going to get):

• What is the solution with the offensive line? It almost looks like they are stuck in camp mode mentally. He's made it clear he thinks the issues are correctable, but last week didn't really show a ton of improvement and their opponent was unquestionably inferior compared to Week 1. How will the coaches approach offensive line rotation?
• On the defensive line, as much as Western Kentucky wants to throw the ball, this should be a week that unit could get on track. What is it going to take for a pass-rushing group that we've heard so much about to make a significant impact?
• Is Day finally ready to plant a flag in the ground and say this is Kyle McCord's team? Or is he going to continue the QB competition this week and give Devin Brown reps during meaningful moments in the game? And how is he evaluating McCord's development?
• What constitutes a successful outcome this week in Day's eyes? Obviously the goal is to win convincingly. But what does that need to look like so he feels like they are firing on all cylinders before the team travels to Notre Dame next week?

Brendan Gulick and Anthony Moeglin address all of that and more on Tuesday's edition of the Buckeye Breakdown podcast!
