It’s time for some final thoughts, questions and predictions before Ohio State takes the field for today’s spring game.
Ohio Stadium will be open to fans and Big Ten Network will be televising as the Buckeyes take the field at noon Saturday for their 2022 spring game, which will serve as the last of 15 practices for Ohio State this spring but the first time – and the last time until the Sept. 3 season opener against Notre Dame – the Buckeyes will compete in front of fans at Ohio Stadium this year.
Defensive lapses and a lack of consistency in the run game are two areas of improvement for Ohio State coming off of its 2021 season, and perhaps a heightened level of physicality – even in the spring game – is a means to address those things early in the offseason.As Griffin and Dan both alluded, there’s lots of excitement around the fact that Saturday will be everything goes tackling wise, except for the quarterback of course.
Jim Knowles certainly isn‘t going to send his players out into the Shoe to run plays that they haven’t been practicing, and they haven’t been practicing plays that they don’t intend to use in real games this fall. So while there will surely be plenty of wrinkles to come that we won’t see on Saturday, we will be able to infer that whatever Ohio State uses as its primary defensive alignment in the spring game will also be what it plans to use as its base defense going forward.
It's looking like it's going to come down to Dylan Raiola or Jadyn Davis , and they're both visiting today, and we might be on commit watch for at least one of them.Kyle McCord reminds us why he was a five-star recruit
