Ohio State held its second practice of the spring on Thursday, and media members who cover the team were allowed in once again to watch the first hour of practice.

As was the case on Tuesday, the open practice window consisted primarily of individual drills, but concluded with a 7-on-7 passing period in which the offense and defense went head-to-head. Ohio State’s top three quarterbacks all looked sharp during that period, as Julian Sayin, Tavien St. Clair and Justyn Martin combined to complete every pass they attempted.

Sayin kicked the practice off with a fiery speech to the team during its pre-practice huddle, as the Ohio State quarterback was the player called upon to speak to the team before practice on Thursday after safety Leroy Roker took on that role Tuesday, showing how his leadership growing entering his second year as the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback.
