Ryan Day felt operations were 'clean' in the first week of a new offensive play-calling system with someone new dialing up the offense, new in-helmet communication and new iPads.
The most obvious shift is in the man dialing things up, which changed out of Ryan Day’s hands for the first time since 2017 when arrived as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Urban Meyer. Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly is now running the show.and the use of iPads on the sideline to review game footage in real time. Kelly relays calls to quarterback Will Howard and defensive coordinator Jim Knowles does the same to his Mike linebackers from the booth in real time.
“It was good,” Day said. “Chip had his mind set on what he wanted to get done in this game. It was a start, long way to go. But overall, the calls came in quickly, and I thought overall that part was good. We still want to be clean across the board. I think we can be cleaner across the board. ... I think we can get in and out of the huddle faster. We can just sharpen everything that we're doing, but just in terms of the operation of calling a game and all that, it was clean in Week 1.
For Kelly’s part, it’s the first time he’s been an offensive coordinator and not a head coach since 2008. That’s also the last time he coached a game from the booth and not from the field of play. Kelly still felt Day’s input from his bird's eye vantage point. But so too did Knowles and Keys, who is overseeing Ohio State’s special teams this year.
“We can just sharpen everything that we're doing, but just in terms of the operation of calling a game and all that, it was clean in Week 1.”While coaches have until 15 seconds remaining on the play clock to commune with players, Kelly said that he and other coaches don’t spend all that time talking to Howard on the field.
