But the Buckeyes still have major questions to answer. • Did Iowa show us the Ohio State team that can compete for the Big Ten and national championship? • Can Julian Sayin and Ohio State’s supporting cast make the offense more than Jeremiah Smith? • Can the Buckeyes fix their execution and special-teams problems before the biggest games arrive? • What has to happen over the next seven games for Ohio State to win the Big Ten and make a deep College Football Playoff run? Ryan Day was direct about several of those issues during Tuesday’s press conference, including Ohio State’s special teams, Julian Sayin’s decision-making, the run game, defensive communication and the development of the Buckeyes’ transfer class. Luke Montgomery also provided insight into Ohio State’s offensive line, the run game and what Maryland presents at the line of scrimmage. The Iowa win gave Ohio State momentum. The next seven games will determine whether the Buckeyes can turn that momentum into a championship season.
