COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State will officially start spring football practice on Monday, March 4.

With five new assistant coaches to go along with first-year head coach Ryan Day, there will certainly be more questions than answers this spring. At the top of that list of questions is the curiosity surround Justin Fields.

The sophomore quarterback transferred from Georgia after one season and was recently granted eligibility for the 2019 season. Fields is going to be Day’s starting quarterback for the next two seasons, but year one should provide fans with a rollercoaster-like experience of emotions.

Fields was the No. 2 quarterback coming out of high school, but he didn’t spend last season sitting behind Dwayne Haskins learning the Buckeyes system. He sat behind Jake Fromm at Georgia, where he completed 27-of-39 passes for 328 yards and four touchdowns as a backup.

Day’s reputation for developing quarterbacks was the deciding factor in why Fields in Columbus. He called it a “business decision” feeling that playing under Day for two years gave him the best chance at getting to the NFL.

Based on the hype surrounding his decision to come to Ohio State as a former five-star recruit, expectations for Fields should be high. But he still an inexperienced college quarterback in his first year in a system that’s been categorized as an offense that’s "not something where you can walk in and in three months in spring ball” by other Ohio State quarterbacks before him.

Day and Urban Meyer stated that Haskins wasn’t ready to start in his second year at Ohio State and with J.T. Barrett on the roster they had the luxury of going with another option.This time Ohio State won’t have that option. They would have had to start a guy who’s never taken a snap for the Buckeyes even if Fields weren’t granted a waiver. Spring will be about Fields and passing game coordinator Mike Yurcich getting to know each other and Day’s system.

Meyer was extremely hands-on with the special teams unit during his seven-year coaching career at Ohio State. Most head coaches tend to do this with the units they feel most comfortable with. That unit will be the quarterbacks for Day.

This spring he’ll have to spend the majority of his time in that room as the only guy with any real understanding of his offense.
