The Spring Game will feature an offense-versus-defense format, with the offense representing the "Scarlet" team and the defense as "Gray." For the first few series, experienced players will engage in "thud" tempo—contact without tackling—to preserve their health. Afterward, full tackling will commence for most players, though quarterbacks will remain non-contact throughout. This structure is the same as previous years but reflects Day’s focus on preparing a younger roster for competitive play.
Lincoln Kienholz and Julian Sayin are vying for the starting quarterback position following Will Howard's departure. Fans can expect both players to showcase their skills during this scrimmage. True freshman cornerback Devin Sanchez is already turning heads in practice and could play a pivotal role in Ohio State's defensive rotation this fall.
