Spring forward: DTs breakdown
With national signing day in the books, the next big date on the Ohio State calendar as it continues working toward an encore for an undefeated season in 2013 is spring practice. Before those workouts begin, BuckeyeNation will take a look at each position to see where the roster is at — and where it’s going. DEFENSIVE TACKLES Who’s back: The void in the middle of the defensive line is substantial, but that doesn’t mean it’s likely to become a black hole for Ohio State as it transitions to life without Johnathan Hankins and Garrett Goebel.
Spring forward: DEs breakdown
With national signing day in the books, the next big date on the Ohio State calendar as it continues working toward an encore in 2013 of an undefeated season is spring practice. Before those workouts begin, BuckeyeNation will take a look at each position to see where the roster is at — and where it’s going. DEFENSIVE ENDS Who’s back: The Buckeyes don’t exactly have a shortage of talented defenders returning to the fold up front, but it’s what they’re missing that will dominate the discussion heading into spring and the summer workouts.
Next up: Replacing Nathan Williams
Heading into the new year and offseason workouts, BuckeyeNation will look at some holes left by the departing Ohio State veterans and potential candidates to fill them. DEFENSIVE END Who: Despite hardly practicing in live situations at all during training camp and still needing to have his reps limited during the first half of the season, Nathan Williams gave the Buckeyes the kind of help up front they were hoping for as he worked back from microfracture knee surgery.
Next up: Replacing Johnathan Hankins
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Heading into the new year and offseason workouts, BuckeyeNation will look at some holes left by the departing Ohio State veterans and potential candidates to fill them, continuing today in the trenches. DEFENSIVE TACKLE Who: The Buckeyes might have held out some slim hope that Johnathan Hankins would return for another year and a chance to compete for a championship, but with his stock already so high, that always was going to be a bonus and not an expectation heading into Urban Meyer’s second season with the program.
Year in review: DBs lend a big hand
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A position-by-position look at a perfect season for Ohio State, continuing today by looking back at the playmakers in the secondary who made a habit of breaking up passes and nabbing interceptions on the way to a perfect season. DEFENSIVE BACKS Most valuable player: Christian Bryant might have been underrated for the contributions he made at safety, somewhat quietly going about his business and offering a reliable presence in the backend.
