Troy Smith lends a hand on Pro Day
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The deep balls carried easily down the field. The passes to the sideline arrived crisply, and pretty much everything over the middle was on the money. None of the 36 scouts at Ohio State on Friday morning were there to watch Troy Smith work, but six years after going through his own Pro Day, the former Heisman Trophy winner still put on a show for them anyway. “That wasn’t for me, though,” a sweating Smith said as he walked off the field at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
Four Downs: First-practice observations
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Urban Meyer was only ready to truly evaluate one thing. The Ohio State coach couldn’t lead a full-contact practice on the first day of spring camp, so there was only so much he could really find out physically about his second Buckeyes team. But mentally Meyer was able to get a read on where the Buckeyes were when they reported to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Tuesday, and those reviews were positive as the work toward providing an encore to a perfect season started on the practice field.

Urban Meyer told a story at the Ohio high school football coaches’ convention, and five times he reiterated it was a true story, and then once more at the end for good measure.

iPads help Buckeyes get a head start on game prep
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Technology has touched every phase of American life. It’s certainly changed how Ohio State’s coaches and players get prepared for a game. Each Buckeye has an iPad that allows him to watch clips personally tailored for them to preview an upcoming opponent. The coaches are able to draw up specific plays and emphasize techniques and talking points sent to their position groups. The iPads were provided free to all Ohio State student-athletes this fall. The university’s idea was to enhance tutoring and mentoring services, but the tablets are a valuable communication tool for the 14th-ranked Buckeyes. It’s a far cry from the days when Woody Hayes spent hours in a crowded office reversing a clattering projector while ghostly images of football players in black and white flickered on the wall.
