Ohio State football held its second spring football practice on Thursday, and Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises were there to watch the first hour and talk to Julian Sayin and Kenyatta Jackson after practice. Then they broke it all down on this episode of The Bill and Doug show. The focus? The growth of Sayin at quarterback -- in the weight room, in his confidence and in the mustache department. Then it was time to run through a handful of other Buckeyes that stood out Thursday. Thanks for hanging with The Bill and Doug Show.
