  The arrival of Justin Fields at Ohio State this year generated a flurry of excitement among the team's fan base. Fields had been a top-ranked quarterback recruit in high school before transferring after one season at Georgia. But Ryan Day, the Buckeyes' first-year coach, has yet to bestow the starting job on Fields. "One of our core philosophies is that you just don't get given a starting position," Day said. "You have to earn everything you get around here. He hasn't done that." Day has reiterated for months a desire to keep Fields in a quarterback competition that will extend into preseason camp. He took the same position Thursday when he spoke with reporters at Big Ten media days.

If there is a moment on the horizon for Fields to emerge atop the depth chart, it will come next month after a couple of weeks of camp. Day said that was the ideal time frame to settle on a starter. Otherwise, Day seemed more interested in downplaying expectations for the much-discussed transfer. "The hard thing for everybody to realize is he's coming off the heels of Dwayne Haskins," Day said, referring to the Buckeyes' former record-setting passer. "So I think a lot of people think Dwayne went from 0 to 60 so fast, he just jumped into the Heisman Trophy race. That was a very different scenario than Justin Fields." - Columbus Dispatch
