Ryan Day wants the Ohio State football team to start faster

The Ohio State football team didn't have the best start on Saturday against Akron. In fact, they found themselves trailing 3-0 early in the game. They only scored seven points on their first three drives of the game. That was not expected going against a MAC team with all of the talent that they have.

Of course, the Buckeyes would go on to win the game 52-6 so it's not like they were in any real trouble. Still, it would be nice to get off to faster starts, especially against inferior teams. Ryan Day even mentioned that during his press conference on Tuesday afternoon.

Day mentioned that there were a couple of things that he didn't like. One of those is the slow start. Ohio State should be able to get off to faster starts against teams with lesser talent. Akron would certainly fall into that category, as would Western Michigan this weekend.

I'm sure Day will make it a point of emphasis during practice this week to get the offense firing on all cylinders sooner into the game. That wasn't the only thing he didn't like though. He also didn't like the first kickoff that the Buckeyes had. He thought there was more room for yards.

Day did like what Brandon Inniss did with his punt returns. It seems like he has rejuvenated something that has been bad for the last few years. It's almost like Parker Fleming didn't do anything while he was on staff and deserved to be let go. The special teams were much better without him.

It was the first game of the year against a bad team. Mistakes happen early in games. I fully expect this offense to have a faster start against the Broncos this weekend.
