Michael Mayer vs. Ohio State's LBs and safeties and Isaiah Foskey vs. Paris Johnson and Dawand Jones are among the key matchups that could decide Saturday's opener.

But I mean, I feel like the type of guy that he is, I feel like we have a lot of guys like him in this building here,” Johnson said. “So I feel like I'm blessed to play for a program that has the same type of talent and ability across the board. So I feel like we have the best preparation here. That's why I came here, I want to go against the best people every week.
