Ohio State coach Ryan Day says the 2025 quarterback battle between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz reminds him of the 2018 Dwayne Haskins–Joe Burrow race. Here’s why the comparison matters.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with the media this week to provide another update to fall practice, including where the quarterback battle stands.

Before Ryan Day became the Ohio State Buckeyes' head coach, he was brought onto the staff as an offensive coordinator by then-head coach Urban Meyer. It then didn't take long for Day to succeed Meyer following Meyer's retirement.
