COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ryan Day is more relaxed, and he’s not afraid to admit it. After Ohio State football completed its first day of spring practice Monday, the head coach — who is entering his seventh season at the helm — brought a humorous, laid-back temperament to a press conference lasting nearly 40 minutes.

Ohio State coach Ryan Day addressed the quarterback and running back situations as well as a former player joining the coaching staff.

Malik Hartford was the first-team strong safety, Austin Siereveld practiced at left tackle and Lincoln Kienholz and Julian Sayin split first-team QB reps to start spring practice.
