Ohio State's QB competition between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz remains too close to call
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After the first quarter of Ohio State's preseason practices, the competition between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz for the starting quarterback spot remains too close to call. 'The competition continues,' coach Ryan Day said. 'They both have had good moments and moments where they're growing. I will say I've been pleased with the progress. It's going to go right down to the wire. 'The positives of having a competition is that you know every day you got to bring it. The guys are always on edge, they're uncomfortable, they're working at it. I think that's healthy for the entire building.' A quarterback competition the season after winning the College Football Playoff championship is routine at Ohio State. The circumstances, though, are different. In 2015, Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett both had experience as they battled. Jones led the Buckeyes to the title when he started the Big Ten championship and both CFP games after Barrett broke his ankle against Michigan. Sayin and Kienholz have a combined 34 pass attempts and 90 college snaps. They are competing to replace Will Howard, who transferred from Kansas State and threw for a Big Ten-high 4,010 yards and 35 touchdowns in leading the Buckeyes to their sixth national title. Quarterbacks coach Billy Fessler is looking for consistency, especially as the Buckeyes start getting more into situational scenarios during practices the next two weeks. 'We have to be great on third down and in the red zone. That's where quarterbacks make their money,' Fessler said. 'We're in a spot where we're getting more and more of those situations every day. So it's an opportunity for those guys to go out and compete.' Sayin has shown better arm strength, though Keinholz has more athleticism after playing three sports in high school. Sayin originally committed to Alabama as the top-rated quarterback in the Class of 2024 and was taking classes when Nick Saban retired. Sayin then entered the transfer portal last spring and came to Ohio State. He played in four games, including the CFP first-round contest against Tennessee, and was 5 for 12 for 84 yards and one touchdown while taking 27 snaps. The sophomore is the slight favorite to emerge as the starter for the Aug. 30 opener against Texas, but he hasn't paid any attention to the outside hype. 'I feel like I'm developing in my footwork accuracy and mechanics. It's just all about building confidence. You make a great play, you start to build that confidence,' Sayin said. The last snaps Kienholz took in a game were in the 2023 Cotton Bowl against Missouri after starter Devin Brown was injured in the first half. Keinholz struggled, as he completed only six of 17 passes for 86 yards. However, the junior had a great offseason and was one of eight Ohio State players named an Iron Buckeye, which goes to players who excel during offseason workouts. 'As a freshman going in there, I didn't really know a whole lot. I didn't really know how protections worked and I mean, now that's something that I feel like I'm pretty good at, and I go out and and execute that well,' Keinholz said. 'I've been in the offense for three years now, so it's something that I think just more time, more reps and film study, it's helped me get better.' Freshman Tavien St. Clair is also getting snaps, but is still getting up to speed with the offense. He did come in as an early enrollee and participated in spring practices. Besides quarterback, Day and the coaching staff are looking for some of the positions to get an established starting group toward the end of the week. Day used a phrase from safeties coach Matt Guerrieri in comparing this week to the third round of a golf tournament, which is typically called moving day. 'This is moving week. We want to have our identity and it doesn't need to be in stone, but the players can tell us what we're doing and what our identity is coming out of this week,' Day said. ___ AP college football: and

Calgary Stampeders in CFL's Week 10: QB Vernon Adams Jr. returns, as do Bombers
Article content Article content Regardless of who lines up Saturday for the Bombers, the Stamps insist they'll be ready. Article content Not only does Week 10 offer a few more days between games compared to previous weeks, allowing the Red and White a longer rest after their first two-loss run of the schedule, but the extra time off gave them an added day of practice to prepare for the affair. Article content 'We've played Winnipeg twice already,' Dickenson said. 'Not to say that we don't need to do different things and do some things to scheme them, but (the extra day) was more about ourselves and work on ourselves — and not even really about plays. It was about techniques and trying to get better at little, small skills. Article content 'Yeah, we used it as like a training camp or an extra day and really try to work on drill work, but also skills and also a couple things like situational football. Hope it pays off for us. You look around the league, and things do pop up sometimes that you forget. So you should cover these things a little bit more in detail, so that — hopefully — when it does happen to you, you're ready to go.' Article content Article content Short yardage Article content LS Aaron Crawford (knee) was also limited in Tuesday's session … DL Jaylon Hutchings (calf), DB Adrian Greene (lower leg), DB Tyler Richardson and DB Ben Labrosse (hamstring) have not practised this week … The Stampeders signed Canadian DL Kyle Samson, a second-round 2024 draftee by the Blue Bombers, and placed him on their practice roster. Samson, who was traded to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats earlier this year from the Bombers, was a two-time Canada West all-star and a two-time second-team all-Canadian with the U SPORTS' UBC Thunderbirds. He counted 76 career tackles, including 19.5 tackles for loss, and added eight sacks and one interception and was part of the Thunderbirds' Canada West championship team in 2023 … American DB Bentlee Sanders has been released from the practice roster. Sanders played 16 games and made 10 starts as a rookie for the Stampeders in 2024, recording 45 tackles and one interception. He did not see any game action this season.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa scored on Tommy Pham's sacrifice in the fifth, giving the Pirates back the lead. Heaney, who was tagged for one run and two hits in 4 2/3 innings, had retired 12 straight batters since letting the first two reach.
