Updated: August 19, 2019, 12:39 PM ET Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State coach Ryan Day says Georgia transfer Justin Fields will be the starting quarterback when the Buckeyes open the season Aug. 31 against Florida Atlantic. Day’s announcement Monday put a rubber stamp on what most figured was a foregone conclusion. As Ohio State’s newly minted coach, Day lured Fields — one of the top-ranked prep prospects nationally in the 2018 recruiting class — to Columbus in January to succeed quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr., who is now playing for the NFL’s Washington Redskins. Since training camp opened, Day insisted that Fields would have to beat out graduate transfer Gunnar Hoak, an Ohio kid who played only sparingly at Kentucky. Hoak is expected to be Fields’ backup. — More AP college football: https://apnews.com/Collegefootball and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 — Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacy Copyright 2019 by The Associated Press This story…
