Ohio State football added former Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly to its staff this offseason, bringing him on as the team’s offensive coordinator.
Kelly brings a slew of experience at both the collegiate and professional levels, and he’s undoubtedly been a huge plus for the Buckeyes’ dynamic offense, one that has benefited from Kelly’s immense desire to have a strong run game.
Having coached at Oregon and having been in big games with the Ducks, he’s undoubtedly going to feel some type of special way when he walks back into Autzen Stadium on Saturday for a matchup between a couple of powerhouse programs.
Kelly was asked about his return, and he certainly didn’t say anything too crazy. He did speak about some of the coaches he still knows in the area and his family that’s around there.
Here’s the entire clip of the question from Dillon Davis.

The Buckeyes are going to have their hands full on the road against the No. 3 team in the country. Ohio State has looked virtually unstoppable on both sides of the ball over the last few weeks, beating Iowa at home 35-7 Saturday.
Let’s hope that continues into the Buckeyes’ first real challenge of the season.
