Ohio State is loaded. They are returning their most important pieces of last year’s championship team. Ohio State like most powerhouses reloads, so the positions where starters are not returning from last year should be easily replaced.
Ohio State has two legitimate starting QBs. We think picking a starter and sticking with him will be the key to Ohio State’s success. If a QB controversy starts, then there is little chance OSU can repeat.
