What insights were shared about Ohio State's spring practice?
Welcome back to the Bill and Doug show. Doug LaMaurice, Bill Landis. It's the third practice of spring for Ohio State football happened on Tuesday. We talked to some folks afterward. Bill, 15 practices leading up to the 15th and final practice, which is the spring game on April 18th. The plan is for us to get to talk to Ohio State people. We're not going to watch practice really much anymore, but we're going to talk to Ohio State people after every practice, and we'd like it.
We do like it, yeah. I think we'll see Student Appreciation Day next week, not this coming weekend, the following weekend. And then hopefully that clinic practice before the spring game. But otherwise, yeah, it's more like talking time, which is typically the case for spring. But there's still good information to get, I think. And it's also, you know, it's just good to get back around people, get reacquainted with them, meet some new people, as we did on Tuesday with Arthur Smith. So it's all good.
Brandon Innes, the receiver. Carson Hinsman and Luke Montgomery on the offensive line and our offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, with the four people who talked after practice. Can I just give them, this is the Bill Landis ball knower head on a swivel award for the quarterback stayed out after practice. And it, cause just when people don't, we walk in, we walk into the indoor facility, the indoor field at the Woody Hayes athletic center. We do the interviews out on the field. Sometimes we do them in the team room. Sometimes we do them out on folding tables out on the field. So they're done with practice by the time we go in, but you still are people milling about. Usually when we go in like position groups or meeting with each other after practice, people are walking off the field, you know, uh,
But they're continued. The quarterbacks and the centers kept practicing long after we were in there doing interviews. And what did you say about those quarterback practices?
They were doing quarterback center snap exchanges. And there were some shotgun, but a lot of it was under center. And this is the third time we've been in there.
How is Arthur Smith expected to influence the Ohio State offense?
The first few times we got to watch practices, but even in those practices, I felt like there was a lot more... under center stuff than we've seen in the past just in terms of like individual drill not not plays really um and i do i think it's it i think it's a sign of some of the imprint of arthur smith here like ohio state has played under center under Ryan day. And in fact, last year, I looked these numbers up a while ago when, when Ohio state hired Arthur Smith last year was, well, I say it's highest percentage of under center snaps under Ryan day. It was still pretty low, but it was the highest they've done it. And I think they're going to keep building upon that. Like I, I, I didn't ask about it cause I feel like I, maybe I'll ask Ryan day about it, but, um,
I think if you're looking for ways that Arthur Smith is going to put his mark on this offense a little bit, I think Ohio State's probably going to end up playing under center more this year than they have in the past.
Do you remember what the percentage was last season when you said it was the highest of the day era?
17% or something like that.
I'll try to pull it up here as we're talking. And of course, a lot of that's short yardage, I bet, right? Like goal line. Short yardage. I would almost be curious. Sometimes when you sort by stats and you're able to knock out garbage time, I almost would wonder what their under center percentage is. Like if you knock off anything that's three yard. Anything that's and one to go and anything that's inside the three yard line. Let's say if you knock those out, I'm sure those percentages come down even more.
Probably. And also, especially last year when they were kind of hammering away at the goal line sometimes with a couple plays. So that can certainly contribute to this percentage being higher. It was 16.4% last year. The previous high had been 13.9% in 2022. Okay.
Yeah, that could just be failed short yardage runs.
