A few notes coming out of Ohio State as of this morning:
- After the first week or so of practice, the QB competition between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz is too close to call at this point, says Head Coach Ryan Day.
"The competition continues. They both have had good moments and moments where they're growing. I will say I've been pleased with the progress. It's going to go right down to the wire. The positives of having a competition is that you know every day you got to bring it. The guys are always on edge, they're uncomfortable, they're working at it. I think that's healthy for the entire building."
- Defensive tackle Eddrick Houston has returned to practice after being injured last week. Houston looks to be a starter against Texas in just a few weeks.
- True freshmen Devin Sanchez and Riley Pettijohn, both who were recruited by the Longhorns, have been impressing early. They both have had their "black stripe" removed from their helmet and are only two of four freshmen to be able to do so up to this point.
- Ohio State has landed three wide receivers on the Biletnikoff Award Watch list.
